'London, Nov. 19.-Public Interest in the European war now is centered in the battle of the Russians and Ger mans between the Vistula and Warta Rivers in' Poland. It is believed the outcome there will have a marked of feet on the operations elsewhere and on the duration of the war. 13oth German and Russian head quarters are very sparing with infor iation. All that is definitely known is that the lussian advance guard, consisting largely of cavarly, which advanced right onto telh German front tier after the battle of Warsaw, met superIor forces and has fallen back mnore than half the distance covered in the advance. "'lhe Germans are sending strong forces into the country between the two rivers where the battle inust be fought, hoping that in this confined area the Russians will not be able to deploy their enormous armIes to akdvantage. The RIussians, however, nc .v can choose their owl ground for the battle andI it. I probable they will select it as far as possible from the Geri'manl lines of coim iunilca tion. In Galicia, before Cracow and in E'ast Prussia, the Russians are push ing their advantage, apparently dis regarding the fact that their center has been comnpelled to fall back. They also are showing much activity In the Carpathians to prevent the Austrians front retiring into Hungary. It is stated that they already have cut off 800,000 Austrians, who will now be compelled, if defeated, to retreat west ward. In Flanders and France the battle which has been going on for thirty five days has again developed into an artillery duel. This doubtless is duie to inability of the infantry oi either side to operate successfully ov er the muddy ground, and to the ex te'ided flooded area between the coast and Dixmude. While the Germans art moving men eastward to oppose thc Russians they are reporte to be bring Ing more big guns to the westeru front. Russian and Tu rkish squadrom have met in a long-distance duel ofl Sebastopol and both claim victory The Russian report says the Turkisl cruiser Goeben was damaged, whi the Turkiish report claiuns a lussiar hattleshi I p suffered terirbly, anid otler fRussian warships tled.

Then surely we can heartily endorse any movement that will have a tendency to~ bring that same influence into the school room. If there are any schools in our county that doubt the wisdom of so liciting the help and co-operation of their women, let me urge you to take my advice and put your ladies In "har ness". I say this not because I have read it in papers, neither because I have heard others speak favorably of it, and neither because I have dreamed "Utopian dreams", but because I have seen ladies work and have worked with them. Therefore, I feel safe in saying that I know every community has in it loads of unutilized energy and power, unless it has a School Imln provement Association. Women can raise money. But greater still!, they can raise pupils and teachers out of the "Slough of Despond." N'. A. Fuller. * ** ** * ** ** * ** * * *. * W. M. U. Quarterly Meeting. * b** *** ** **** *.* *.* *. The W. M.

(fly W. HI. UNDERWOOD.) I have good success in growing celery for the market, and do not be hieve this profitable plant is as gen erally grown as it should be. I plant the seed in a bed in May, after the ground is thoroughly warm. I make the bed in rich, damp and not wet, soil, pulverize it an finely as pos sible and drill the seed scantily in shallowv rows eight inches apart. As high as 6,000 plants may be secured from one ounce of seed. The seeds germinate slowly, often taking two weeks or more to appear above ground. If the weather becomes dry I partially shade the young plants with strips of thin boards. Whlen three inches hIgh I clip off the tops of the leaves to make the plants stocky. In six weeks I transplant Into larger beds, clippi~ng off the tap roots as well as leaves, and set them two inches apart. In .July I set the plants in rows flye feet apart, and eight inches apart in the row. When about a foot high I begin to draw earth against the rowi and between the plants. Later this process is repeated until all the stalks and part of the leaves are covered. This keeps the stalks white and ten der. When the growing season -Is over I place wide board. along the sides of the rows, to blanch the stalkm still more. Unless the ground is richer than is necessary for most garden vegetables and is very moist, celery will not give satisfaction. Unleached ashes and well rotted manure are the best fertilisers, anS they miust be applied liberally. Mucky or damp black land, properly drained is best for celery, It is use less to try to grow successfuily in dry upland unless the land can be proper. ly irrigated in some way. .
