ENDORSES SUBMARINE
 FOR TRIP TO POLE
Steffanson Believes Undersca Boat Can Make Journey Better Than
 Ordinary Vessel.

Dawson, Y. r, Sept. 6.--Explorar Vilhjalmar Steffansson is en route to Vancouver and F2squimalt to report to the naval commander at the latter plce regarding the last five years of the Canadian government expedition north. He also will follow this re- port with one to the ministry at Otta- wa.
 He declares the submarine Is pref erableto the airplane for a dash to- the pole and for general Arctic explora- tion and better equipped to carry sup plies. Courses could be found, said the explorer from a half mile to mile deep and even deeper under the ice which could be traversed to the pole in a submarine.

AMERICANS ON AISNE FRONT FOR EIGHT FRENCH AROUND HAM; NEUVE CHAPEl
 GERMANS MOVE BACK ON LINE 150
AMERICANS HOLD FRONT OF EIGHT MILES ON AISNE RIVER

From the Velse northward over the plateau the Germans were burning ev- erything they could not move north ward or which might be of use to the French and Am ericans. Between the Marne and the Vesle the Germans had left great stores of supplies and am munition because of their hasty with drawal.
 The Germans had endeavored to de- stroy small bridges. Engineers quick ly repaired the roads. Nothing of military value was found.
 The plateau for every few miles was dotted with frames of German air dromes from some of which the Amer jeans say GGerman raiders who bonn bed Paris operated.
 The canvas covering for the hang ars were taken by the eGrmans when they retired and the wooden frames were so damaged by shells that they virtually are worthless.

Flooding Chauny La Fcre .Area.

With the French Army in the Field, Sept. 5.--(By the Associated Press) The Germans tonight are destroying bridges and flooding the country be- tween Chauny and La Fere which is a good indication that they do not expect to remain much longer in ad- vance of their old line which ran from La Fere to Barisis. Today their retreat continued in daylight east of the Ailette river and their columns suffered very heavy losses from shell fire.
 Between the Ailette and the Aisne French troops advanced to a line from Margival to Quincy and Chivres while to the north they occupied Coucy-le- Chateau and Coucy-le-Vile, approach ing their old line of 1917 around the edge of the hi]ly wood region of, St GObain. There they will encounter the formidable defense works the Ger mans prepared as. part of the old Him. denburg position and which perhaps have been further strengthened since the beginning of their retreat.

The group included f1ftl but one day one was missing, and captain said he was going to institA an investigation and if he found one absent without leave there woa be trouble. The quaint old method doing Washings is pursued. WonA have a little box which they caA down to a brook and there they beS pounding the clothes, to the great IA riment of the buttons.
 The owner of the chateau where's was billetted was sent home to reca crate. This man,-a count, was bH Iy wounded and had been subjected 12 operations.
 The beasts of burden in the toA are donkeys. Sometimes it seemsM if they are much overloaded. Cap1 Hargreaves said that women wa about hauling loads.
 Only little boys and old men observed in the male population the village.

YOU AND I
AND co.

The Government Of the unHeS
States! Do you think OF 1t merely
as some great big machine UP IN
Washington that levies taxes ano

do you are wrong.
The United States Government IL
a business corporation run for the
good of the citizens, who are lts
shareholders. It's head office 10 az
WASHINGTON. You and hired some
Of the cleverest men we could nno
to run this business for US. Now
when you hire a man to 90 DIG
lob for you you must give him your
support, in both money and good feeF
ing. You know what 1t would mean
IL you were to hire man to run
your farm, or your store, and then
went about amongst your neighbors
grumbling about him and "cuSsing
him. Would you get good results!
Would the business be a success?
These fellows that we have hired
10 work for us IN Washington are
real human beings. Take our Presi'
dent. Read some of his speeches,
Read what people say who have
talked with HIM constantly. They
will tell you that he is the most hui
man OF men, with great big symp'
athy for everyone, whatever his po'
sition in life. BY the way, the Pres
ldent is a Southerner. Take the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, too, who Is

much of your conditions and is just
as much your friend today as he
was when he was a lawyer in a
country town.
These people need your support In
the biggest job that any men ever

HOW MONEY GOES
ROUND IN A CIRCLE

There won't be any money left In
the country II they keep on asking
for these loans"
How many times do you hear such
remark made about the Liberty
Loan? Perhaps you may have even
thought something of the sort your
self.
To a man not used to finance the
thought is very natural one.
Let US think this thing out.
In the first place, practically all
Of the money subscribed to the Lib
erty Loans stays right here in the
country, and good deal of 1t stays
light in the locality from which it is
originally subscribed. So this talk
ibout draining the country" and
lbout there being no money left in
he country" is sheer nonsense.
Let us see how this works out.
We will suppose that you are a
'armer, or cotton grower, that you
lave purchased Liberty Bond and
you are paying by installments spread
over several months. Now, until the
government actually needs your mon
~ it leaves it ON deposit at some
ocai bank which is acting as a gov
,rnment epository-maybe your own
)ank.
Now, by the time you have paid
he LAST installment on your Bond,
t is quite likely that the money paid
IN as your FIRST installment has
been Used by the government to pay
Tor your own cotton or grain, and
you will be returning this very same
money to the bank to be placed once
again to your account, or to apply
on your purchase Of another Liber,9
Bond.
But" you say, how about these
millions and millions of dollars loan
ed to our allies? Does not this
honey go out of the country" 1t
does not. Practically all of the
money which goes to our allies is
lent with the clear understanding
that it is to be used for the purchase
Of goods In this country. Thus you
will see that seldom do we actually
loar our allies any money at all, but
we loan them goods which you pro-
duce and for which you are paid.
IN SUBSCRIBING TO THE LIBER.
TY LOAN YOU ARE PRACTICALLY
PUTTING CAPITAL INTO YOUR
OWN BUSINESS.
Fears have been expressed BY
some that the government of this
country will place such enormous tax
alton on the public that it will be
IMmost equivalent to taking their
'apstal and their savings from them.
The government of this, country de-
sizes absye all things that you keep
your capitsl and keep it working. 1t
wants your esstton and 1t wants your
foodstuffs and rs not foolish enough
% take away the, capital which you
need to run your bu3iness. This would
be killing the goose that lays the
Golden egg" The government wants
you to get richer so that Won may
be in position to lend some Of
your increased wealth to car9y on

amount she produces in the "a hours.
For example, it has been carefully
estimated that for cow to do her
best. she should receive one pound of
concentrated feed, with roughage in
addition, for each three and one-half
pounds of milk she produces per day,
which is usually sufficient for her
own upkeep as we'll as her production
of milk.
AS an illustration, let us say that a
cow produces Sc pounds of milk per
day; she ought to receive, approx
mately, ten pounds of concentrated
feed per day. On the other hand, If
her daily yield should be only IS
pounds of milk per day, she would be
entitled to only half the amount Of
feed that the 36-pound cow should
have. II COW should go up in her
production, so should the amount Of
feed In the proportion mentioned.
The rule, then, of one pound of con-
centrated feed for each three and one
1alf pounds of milk a COW gives per
day will be found very useful to dairy
men in getting better yields of milk
and in economizing in their feed; and
not only so, but it would give a clue
20 the poor producing cows Of the
herd and lead to their being supplant-
I'd by more profitable animals. Yet
bow many are feeding the 1S-pound
c6y as much as the 36-pound animal

REGULATE FEED BY
MILK PRODUCTION
Cows Should BE Fed in Proportion to
Yield of Milk.

Every dairyman should find out the
profitable and Improbable cows In his
herd, and replace the latter by others
that viii yield profitable returns for
the amount of feed consumed. This
may easily be done by weighing the
total yield OF each COW per day; then
feeding each animal according II tho
