there b evidence that 1t is growing
,fiercer at many points. The Germans

bombardment Of the left wing OF the

It Is from the center eastward,
however, that the battles are most
bitter. In the Argonne, around YER

ments are in progress, apparently
without amy decision having been
reached Bat they are merely lo-l

pected when the ground becomes
more suitable for moving troops.
Along the Belgian coast every move
of the Germans is the signal for a
renewed bombardment by the British

Truly lceman, as He Remarked to
Himself, Had Profited by Night
School Education.

Fritz, the iceman, was in perspira-
tion (for it was the hottest four o'clock
in the morning in II years. and a
dilemma (for he only had one small
block of ice left, and there were still
ten customers left unserved, each OF
whom took a ten-cent piece).
Il know!" Fnitz cried to himself. I
know way out. l didn't go to night
school for nothin'!"
And he cut the block into ten tiny
pieces and put one piece in front OF
each of the ten gates.
Then climbing over one of the
fences, and filling bucket full of wa
ter, he poured water over each of the
tiny ten, so that each was in the mid
die of puddle.
Clever Fritz!
What you don't? Well, let him ex-
plain it himself, then:
"Haw, haw!" chuckled Fritz. Now
when they find the pieces they'll think
the ice went and melted on 'em!"
Shortly afterwards ten good house
wives opened their gates and got
slant at the tiny ten.

has made great advances in the last
two years. In some communities the
farmers have financed local distribu-
ton systems, taking current from the
nearest cross-country transmission
line at one point and retailing it
among themselves. In other commu-
mites individual farmers find it de-
sirable to pay for lines directly from
the power plant to the farm. Other
