"GERMAN TROOPS RETURN TO
THE BLOODY FRAY WITH
REDOUBLED VIGOR.
BRUSSELS (via Paris), Aug. 8,—
After having suffered a serious check
and heavy casualties at the hands of
'the Belgians at Liege Wednesday, the
German troops today returned to the
tray with redoubled ardor and tonight
were pounding away at the forts with
'•lege and field guns and rifles.
In the fighting of Wednesday the
estimates of the German casualties
ran as high as S.000 men. The In-
vaders also are said to have lost a
large number of guns.
In one attack a Oerman Infantry
division supported by cavalry marched
onto mined grounds. The Belgians
detonated the mines and an entire
battalion of Oermans was killed.
Wounded Oermans to the number of
J,200 were picked up on the battle-
field.
It is estimated that in the fighting
40,000 Oermans were faced by 26,000
Belgians. ,
In the attaok on Fort Parchon,
northeast of the city, the Belgian*
permitted the Oermans to draw up

YET ARRANGED.
•almost to the walls of the fortress.
Then they turned loose their guns
«nd the slaughter la reported to have
1>een appalling.
Under the terrific fire here and
from the other forts the Oermans
irsrs forced to retire all along the
line.
A detachment of Uhlans penetrated
Ihe city Wednesday night with the in-
tention, it is staled, of capturing high
officials. They had reached the
building where the officials had quar-
ters when all were surprised an<T
killed.
Oerman shells today breached the
walls of two of the fortresses which
were captured. From the other forts,
however, the Belgians continued to
{>our a deadly ralri of shot and shell
nto the advancing Oermans.
Despite the heroic resistance of the
Belgians It was felt In Brussels tonight
that the invaders by reason of their
grfeat strength could not much longer
e denied and that ultimately they
must gain the city of Liege, whence
they are expected to press on toward
Nimur in their march across Belgium
to the French frontier.
At Namur, which is strongly forti-
fied, it Is asserted the Germans will
meet resistance as stronj as that at
Liege.
Newport is crediting Vincent Astor
with' a bonmot. It appears that Mr.
Astor had turned the cold shoulder on
an aristocratic but poor young man
who had continually tried to "use"
him. A lady ventured to take Mr.
Astor to i,. ik for this snub and re-
ceived the telling reply:
"Oh, Jack shouldn't complain. They
who make tools of their friends are
sure to get cut."
Money may not be able to buy love:
but It will sometimes buy a perfectly
pood Imitation, guaranteed to outlast
the real thing and to receive an ex-

One of the most interesting adjuncts
to the promotion of public health ever
seen in this city, has been obtained by
the Cha ,.i;.r of Commerce and will
be used in the Clean-up movement
which is on foot here.
It is a large chart, owned by the In-
ternational Harvester company and
furnished to communities Interested in
better sanitation, and depicts the
menace of the fly In all its different
stages and activities. The charts are
about four feet square and may be
read at a long distance from the
stand.
Fir Menace Exposed.
First Is seen a picture of a fly,
large, enough to detect the minute
detail* of Its anatomy. Hairs on the
limbs, and feet of the fly are brought
out with the effect of showing the
billions of germs which cling to the
stubble and are deposited wherever
the pest happens to light.
According to the chart the state-
ment is mad* that there are 6,600,000
germs on a swill barrel fly; 92S.000
germs on a pig pen fly; 880.000 germs
on a common House fly, and 410,000
germs on a stable fly. It also stater
that 90 per cent of the files are bred
In manure piles.
Result of Experiment.
Another chart shows the result of
an eight week experiment made in
New York city as follows: In a city
block where sanitary measures were
in effect there was found to be
twenty coses of summer complaint.
In the very next block where no pre-
cautions had been taken there were
sixty cases of the same illness. Among
the children there were eight cases
reported in the first block and thirty-
eight In the latter blcck where filth
predominated.
If Is also demonstrated by the
charts that July and August, the fly
months, are also the months In which
a large percentage of typhoid fever
abounds, the increase in cases report-
ed being 400 over January and De-
cember when the" cold weather has
the effect of exterminating the pest.
Preventives Suggested.
There are several different charts
In the collection and not alone does
the pictures show the dangers of thfe
fly but preventives are suggested
which if put into use will eliminate
the breeding places of the fly and
prevent an increase in the death rate
which Is suiv to follow a multiplica-
tion of the fly.
The collection Is open to public
inspection and the Public Health com-
mittee would be glad to have persons
call at the Carnegie library and get
intimately acquainted with the great-
est menace to public health—the fly.
If possible the charts will be dis-
played in a down-town window some
time this week.
A Vocal Harvest.
Contradicting a pessimistic crop
prediction, Milton Whitney, chief of
the Bureau of Soils at Washington,
said: ■
"That pessimist prophet knows Just
as much about the production of good
crops as the young man knew about
the production of the voice.
"A young man wrote to a well-
known doctor of music the following
letter:
" 'Friend Doctor—Please let me
know your rates for first-class voice
production. I have no voice, but as
the efficiency engineer business is not
what it was represented to me, I de-
sire to abandon same in favor of
grand opera, and if you can produce
me a fine tenor voice, I will be glad
to pay a cash bonus and a generous
percentage of salary receipts for a
term of years. Please answer by re-
turn.' " _
Tlie Trouble.
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, the.well-
known suffragist, recentl refused to
marry a young woman who wanted
th- phrase "to obey" used in her wed-
ding ceremony—for Dr. Shaw believes
that the vow to obey, made by the
modern woman of culture and action,
is both Impossible and degrading.
. "But don't think," said Dr. Shaw
the other day in Philadelphia—"don't
think I'm a cynic as regards marriage.
Oh, no! If you're looking for cynics,
go to the other camp, the camp of the
antis and reactionaries.
"I heard an anti say the other dart
" "The trouble with marriage is that
a woman believes all ,a man says to
her before the wedding am". nothing
he says after it.' "
< arranza Declares That If Carbajal
Intends to Surrender That Foot Has
Not Been Made Known.
<?

SALTILLO, Aug. 6.—If President
Carabajal has agreed to unconditional
surrender of Mexico official word of
this has ni t reached General Carran-
sa, and there has been no change In
plan to march constitutionalist troops
to Mexico City.
General Carranza tonight wired
President Carabajal stating that he
had just learned jit was not the in-
tention of the federal arn\y to sur-
render and adding that if this move-
ment be carried out whether by or-
ders of Carabajal or army officers,
direct action would result.
The constitutionalist chief advised
the president that In the event arms
and ammunition were not delivered to
constitutionalists he would apply the
law of 1863 applying It to the presi-
dent himself and all civilian accom-
plices.
Fighting Renewed.
Mexico City, Aug. 6.—Fighting In
the vicinity of Teolouca, Huehuetoca,
and other places between advance
guards of the federal and constitution-
alists was renewed today despite peace
negotiations. Some military authori-
ties fear the engagement may become
general. People in the capital are
looking forward to a formal declara-
tion by General Carranza of the sus-
pension <_f hostilities.
BALLINGER
Monster Stalk of Corn.
Balllnger, Aug. 6.—A stalk of corn
higher than a six-foot man could
reach was brought to the city today
by Tom Lively, a farmer living near
Balllnger. The ears of corn were
higher than the lengthy person could
reach. Mr. Lively is puzzled when it
conies to pulling the ears since no
mun working for him or none in this
part of the state as far as lie knows,
is tall enough to pull the ears with-
out standing on something. The ear
beats anything ever seen In this coun-
try and Is today causing no little
amount of comment among city peo-
ple who are unfamiliar Willi the great
growth of crops In Runnels county
this year. The great height of the
corn is due to the fact that the corn
has received sufficient moisture this
year. It is reported In some localities
of the county.that cotton Is five or
six feet tali, proving that corn is not
the only crop that has taken on sur-
plus growth this year.

Telephone Troubles Shelved.
Balllnger, Aug. 6.—Before war
broke out In Europe Bailinger was in
what was believed at the time to be a
terrible telephone muddle. Since the
first report has been received of
actual fighting all agitation over the
raise telephone rates has ce'ascd
and people are now digesting the
latest from Ihe fields of war. The city
council at a leoent meeting attempt-
ed to renew the telephone broil but
the citizens seera to be indifferent as
to whether they pay an extra dollar
per mo 'th for business telephones or
not.
School Trustee# to Meet.
Balllnger, Aug. 6.—The board of
trustees of the Bailinger independent
school district will hold a session Fri-
day afternoon for the purpose of de-
hating over Improvements to be made
In the several public school buildings
about the city and the setting of a
date for the opening of the schopls
this fall. It is very probable, although
It has not been assured, that the
school this year will open September
14th, that being the second Monday
of the month.
I'iMliiug Parties Are.Numerous.
Balllnger, Aug. 6.—More automo-
biles have passed through Balllnger
en route to the streams of this part
of the state, on fishing expeditions
than ever before In the history of the
town. At least fifty cars pass through
the city, after making short stops at
the hotels and garages, each day.
Many of the cars are en route to the
Pacific coast.
Racing For First Hale.
Bailinger, Aug. 6.—The first bale of
cotton la expected to arrive in Ballln-
ger on any day. It is reported that sev-
eral farmers have begun picking their
staple and are racing to make the
market first.
Color Study.
In the late fall, at a certain college,
an old negro was sweeping the front
steps when a freshman walked up and
said: "Well, old Uncle, soon winter
will be here and those trees will be as
black as you are."
Quickly the negro replied: "And
spring will soon be "here, _and dem
trees will be as green as you are."—

.News Notes and Personals. j
Copper: Cove, Aug. 6.—The Cop- j
peras Cove country is now wet to the
bottom. A tine rain fell yeaterday
covering the territory west and north,
and it began raining last night at
eleven o'clock, und Is still raining. If
no disaster happens to the cotton, this
neighborho *d will harvest a record
j breaking crop.
Miss Cora Goodson was taken to a
i Temple hospital yesterday to be oper-
ated on for appendicitis. A telephone
message from there this mornig says J
the operation had been performed and i
the patient was resting nicely.
Mr. A. O. Goodson, who was oper-1
ated on about a month ago for gall 1
stones at a Timple sanitarium, and!
who Is still at that institution, is re-:
ported to be improving slowly, and it}
may be a month yet before he returns
home.
Mr. Aleck Nichols ai.d wife, Mr. Bill
Lawrance and wife, and Miss OH Coe
autoed to Gatesvilie yesterday to at-
tend the Confederate reunion, and on
account of the rain, did not get back
until five o'clock this morning.
Mr. Kay Mclin and wife went to
Galveston last Saturday on an excur-
sion train and while in Galveston their
baby was taken very sick. They re-
turned home this morning and report
i the baby to be better.
Mrs. Sallie Arnold, a charming!
young widow of Copperas Cove, has ;
accepted a situation with the Bentley
company at Temple and is moving her!
household goods to that place. Mrs.
Arnold has been in the grain business
j here for several years, and no doubt
will be a valuable acquisition to the
Bentley force.
This tow.i has been liberally sup-
plied with watermelons, coming from
Straw Mill, near Gatesvilie. These
melons are of fine quality, but the
prices are so high that they are an ex-
pensive luxury.
Mr. Albert Vaughan and family, old
time settlers of this country, but who
moved west a few years ago, have re-
turned here to remain. Mr. Vaughn
tried the San Angelo country, the Bal-
llnger country, and then moved to

OKLAHOMA ELECTION.
Robertson leads lor Democratic
Gubernatorial Nomination.
Oklahoma City, Aug. 6.—With ap-
proximately 8 per cent of the total
democratic vote in the state heard
from, J. B A. Robertson tonight is
leading in the race for the democratic
nomination for governor with 7 43 plu-
rality over Robert I.. Williams, his
nearest aopponent. Al. J. Jennings is
third.
Out of 77 counties In the state com-
plete returns have been received from
32 counties and partial returns from
35 counties. The votes received to-
tals 49,322 and is divided as follows:
Robertson, 26,132; Williams, 25.389;
Jennings, 16,278; Robert Dunlop^O,-
133; Chas. West, 9,030; F. F. Herring,
7,360.
Virtue With Age.
"Touthful innocence" is one of
tl >se expressions which is untrue so
far as criminals are concerned. It is
a fact that, a criminal is at his worst
when he is young, and the older he
becomes the better t'.e life he leads.
Cri «inal statistics show that the
most virtuous age of the average
wrongdoer is between 50 and CO. It
is in the very earliest part of their ca-
reers, between the ages of 16 and 21,
that men and women criminals are at
their worst. From 21 to old age they
gradually improve.
This also goes to prove that mar-
riage helps to reform a man or wo-
man. At the average age at which
most people marry there is a remark-
able drop in criminal statistics.
Between the ages of 16 and 21, the
time when a man is at his worst, crim-
inally speaking, are just those years
when a child is breaking away from
It® parents and striking out for him-
self.
Factors In liig Crops.
Improved soil, improved seed i.ml
plants and more thorough cultivation;
the application of science to agricul-
ture and science is simply organized
common sense.
The improvement of seed alone v ill
come to little, for the use of the most
improved seed on soil low in fertilitv
or in poor physical condition will he
disappointing, but good results will
come of planting Improved seed on
improved soil.
We have failed to recognize that
among corn plants and among oat and
wheat plants there Is just as marked
individuality as among men or among
animals.
When we recognize this character-
istic in plants and select our seed grain
with the thought of vigor and irollfi-
cacy of plant in minj, we are making
a great advance toward larger yields.
Let the selection of small grain for
better seed begin with the fanning
mill; it has been proven that both the
yield and quality of grain can thus be
increased.
If we will aild to this the selection
of heavy yielding and vigorous grow-
ing plants, as we find them in the
field, our yields will far exceed thirty-
two bushels for oats and fourteen
bushels for wheat as Is the state aver-
age for the past twenty-five years.
A third requisite is better and mor
thorough cultivation, including bette.
preparatl . of the seed bed and better
seeding as well as better after
tlon. *
