today made high records on the crop
on the board of trade. May Wheat

was attributed to the advance of cash
prices and to sales of cash grain to
millers in the west. Mills in Ne
braska, for instance, were buying
wheat at what correspondent to $3.50
here. and could get very little OF it at
that figure

my sister told me how Vinol had
built up her nephew and asked me to

proved and l could sleep all right and
now feel we'll and strong.
"Vinol is certainly fine medicine,
and even the doctors say it is good
tonic."-Rosa NJ. Keller, Alburtis, Pa.
The reason Vinol restored Miss Kel.
Ter to her natural health was because
in her natural manner it sharpened her
appetite, aided digestion, strengthened
her nerves. and as a result brought
the refreshing sleep she needed.
If there is any one in this vicinity,
rundown, weak. nervous, worn out,
and who can not sleep, we ask you to
try Vinol. our delicious cod liver and

Southern Bitulithic Co. Re-
placing Defective Topping
Used.
WHICH COSTS CITY NOTHING.
Action Taken Voluntarily After
Analyses Of Materials
Used.

The Southern Bitulithic Co.. OF
Nashville, began yesterday the work
of resurfacing the entire area Of IL
blocks of paved streets laid by the
company in the fall Of 1912.
The company entered into q con-
tract with the city to keep the streets
in repair for five years. Small holes
appeared in 1918 and these were re-
paired. By 1914 other and larger
defective places developed and last
fall very general repairs were made,
At the same time the company had a
chemical analysis made of the ma
terials used in the base and the sur
facing of the streets. Just what the
conclusion reached was has not been
announced, but the company evident
ly found that the asphalt used in the
top dressing was defective. At any
rate the entire surfacing of from
one to two inches is being dug up
with picks and entirely new surfacing
will replace it over the entire area
on both Main and Ninth streets.
The change is made without cost
to the city and voluntarily by the
Southern Bitulithic Co. Whether
that company. which uses the btu
lithic process of aWarren Bros, Of
Pennsylvania, has guarantees to fal
back upon is not known. Be that a

GERMAN
OFFENSIVE
About Ito Be Resumed With
100000 New
Recruits.
DESIGNS ON PORT OF CALAIS
Comparative Quite Prevails In
The Eastern Field of
Operations.

London, April 26.-The German
rushes in Flanders and the Woevre,
where they claim considerable sue
cesses, are believed to be forerunners-
of another big effort to break through
the allied lines in the west.
For many days Belgium has been
sealed from the observation of neua
trails, while German reinforcements
are being moved to the south to take
part in the new offensive, which they
hope is to carry them to Calias. The
attack in Flanders. originally levell-
ed at the French, has been transfer
red to the British lines held by the
Canadians, on the immediate right
of the French, and here for two days
the men from the dominion have
been engaged in a deadly contest
with the Germans. The Germans
claim further progress toward Ypres
and that British counter attacks have
been repulsed.
The French, on the other hand, de-
clare the allies counter attacks con-
tinue with success and that the Brit
ish hold all their positions, and re-
peat the charge that the Germans
