GERMANS DEFEATED
, ON NORTH LINE
Making Desperate Resistance To
Cover the Retreat of The
German Troops.
United Press Dispatch.
Paris, Oct. 31.—The Germans
were defeated decisively on the
north line from Ostend and Ar
ras through Lille and their pres
ent desperate resistance is but
a blind to cover the retreat of
, the army, according to claims
at military headquarters.
It is stated that their resist
ance has weakened between
Wieuport and Dixmude and that
most of the big guns have been
V removed to the rear.
The German losses are the
greatest of the war. It is stat
ed that the Germans, attempt
ing a renewal of the offensive,
on the Meuse heights for the
purpose of diverting the Allies
from Borth, but that the
move is employing the reserves
and lacks the violence of pre
vious encounters.
Positive assurances from the
front say that the Germans have
failed to renew the offensive and
that at all points north the Al
lies are in trenches occupied by
Germans a week ago.

carried out in every detail. The
lights in the ball room were dark

fand Ed Doherty, as a girl, were
fconceded by all to have been the
best, concealing their identities
to the last. Boys danced with
; boys, and girls with the girls, so
perfect was their disguise,
j Miss Thelma Hays, in her go
cart as a baby, and her nurse,
'Maude Littleton, was an inter
jesting feature of the evening.

OTTOMAN EMPIRE
Attack Russian Ports and Ship
ping But Remains Silent As
To Declaration of War.
United Press Dispatch.
Petrograd, Oct. 31.— Though
Turkish battleships have attack
ed the Russian ports and ship
ping, the Ottoman empire is si
lent regarding her intentions.
No word has been received
'whether the government as
sumes responsibility for hostili
ties of the fleets. Russia is
preparing for war and has es
tablished a censorship of the
Black Sea ports. She continues
to move warships and troops.
The turkish ambassador in
formed the Turkish cabinet of a
special meeting last night, con
veying the hint that war or
peace would hinge upon the
meeting.
i France and Great Britain have
notified Russia that they will
aid her in the war.
Using the Razor Back As A Sub
stitute For Cotton.
(By W. R. Wheelock, Arkansas
Experiment Station.)
Now that circumstances have
convinced everyone of the need
of growing more livestock on
Arkansas farms the next ques
tion is where to get the breeding
stock with which to begin to
produce the type of stock that
the market demands. In the
case of pork production which
affords the opportunity for most
(immediate returns, the problem
will be largely solved if the far
mer will make intelligent use of
what he already has. While a
purebred herd would in many
instances be desirable yet any
farmer can make good money
with common stock sows—even
{razor-backs—if he will mate
1 them to a good pure bred boar.
[The offspring from such breed
ing will in a large degree possess
the type and quality of the boar,
the chief requirements of the
'sow being size, maturity, prolif
jicacy and good mothering quali
ties. The more improved blood
the sow possesses the better the
[offspring will be so long as the
'purebred boar is used. It is only
iwhen a grade boar and a grade
sow are mated that the old na
tive type in any large degree as
!serts itself and we get a cull lot.
While it would be impossible
in any reasonable time to stock
I the farms of the state with sows
| of gcod breeding, it would b. a
comparatively easy matter to
jbring enough good boars iiit-.
every county in the next few
months so that if they were us
ed exclusively for the next two
|or three years the old native
'type of hogs would almost dis
appear Although this might
work a grievance on those who
cherish a fondness for the type '
; the fact remains that it would
!add hundreds of thousands of
{dollars to the annual state in
jcome from the pork growing in
dustry and would keep as much
more from going out of the state
for packing house products.
When the truth of the above
{statements dawns fully upon the
j farmers of Arkansas it won’t be
long until the transformation is
| complete. The wise ones will ac
cept it at once, from those by
whom it has already been proven
and look to this means to help
solve their now embarrassing
. problems.
