GREAT OFFENSIVE PLAN
TO TIRE FRANCE AND ITALY

Rome May 24.-The Austrian of
fensive on the Trentino front and the
furious efforts of the Germans to gain
a decision at Verdun are explained in
semioffcial statement published
here.
The central empires" says the
statement, wish to prevent, even at
the cost of enormous sacrifices, the
allies from attacking them simultane-
ously on all fronts.
Germany and Austria aim at wear
ing out France and Italy, counting on
a continuation Of the temporary halt
in the Russian operations. They hope
that when Russia is ready at last to
resume the fight the other two nations
will be so worn out as to need a rest"
The statement concludes with an
assertion that the Austro-German
plans must fail as all the allies will
be able to pass from the present de-
fensive stage to decisive, simultaneous
action.
This great joint offensive, it is de-
cared, will bring about the down
fall of the Teutonic powers.

MUST
KEEP CHILDREN
Of STREETS
DANGER OF THEIR BEING HURT
BY PASSING AUTOS SUFFICIENT
REASON FOR THIS STEP = AN
ACCIDENT LAST NIGHT.

Last night a young child, four years
OF age, by the name of Archer, was
slightly injured by passing automo-
bile on South Mill street, and but
for the presence of mind of the driv-
er, Mrs. f. j. Ramsey, it might have
been more serious. AS it was, the
child was slightly bruised about the
forehead, but otherwise escaped in
jury. Mrs. Ramsey took the boy to
the sanitarium for treatment and this
morning he was playing about the
house, apparently none the worse for
his experience.
The increasing number of automo-
biles in this city should impel par
ents to keep their children off the
streets. Drivers, with few exceptions
in this city are as careful as can
be found anywhere, but when par
ents permit their children to run be-
fore approaching automobiles, they
are incurring a risk that may termi.
nate disastrously.
No driver wishes to injure a child
or grown person, but it is more often
the fault of the pedestrian than it is
of the driver when one is injured. If
people paid more attention to the
crossings of the street intersections,
ond rafroipod frCp, oiou ,,,n 11yi,, o.
there would be fewer injuries than
there are at present. Mrs. Ramsey
stated this morning that she was 60
ing at a very low rate of speed, other
wise the accident would have been
more serious and her statement is
corroborated by several eye witnesses
who state that the boy ran into the
car.

SLOW ABOUT RENDERING
TAXABLE PROPERTY

Secretary West of the chamber Of
commerce stated this morning that the
business men and property owners
along Main street were evidently sat
isfied that the taxes on their proper
ty was not excessive, and were will
ing to stand the added penalty for not
coming to the tax assessors office and
rendering their property for taxation,
as that penalty will go into effect af-
ter tomorrow, and the books of the
county assessor show that very few
main street property owners have
taken the pains to come and render
their property according to law.
The farmers throughout the entire
country were prompt in this matter
but the business men of this city have
been exceedingly slow TO comply with
this order and the result will be af-
ter tomorrow, penalty will be added
for their failure to do so.
The last legislature changed the law
governing the county tax assessor,
and many fail to realize that they are
compelled to render their property at
the office instead of to the assessor
who formerly made house 10 house
canvass.

MiLCH GOATS TO SOLVE
GERMANY'S MILK SHORTAGE

Berlin, May 24.-In anticipation of a
probable shortage of milk next win
ter, the minister of agriculture already
is taking steps looking to the rearing
during the coming summer of as many
milch goats as possible. The agricul-
tural chambers and organizations all
over Prussia are being urged to get
into touch with goat breeding associa-
tions everywhere with the object of
influencing individuals in the right
direction.
Premiums for raising goats will in
all probability be offered, goat mar
kets in the cities at which goats are
sold to butchers will not be held as
usual, and arrangements will be made
whereby special pastures will be avail
able for the animals. The public will
be urged to demand goats milk as lit
tie as possible, so that the summers
crop" of kids may be as large as
possible.

KIRK MORGAN
CAPTURED IN
CALIFORNIA
RAH JEWELRY STORE is APPRE-
HENDEO BY OFFICERS. REOUl-
SITlON PAPERS FORWARDED.

disappearing under an assumed
name, Kirk Morgan, accused of break
ing into the jewelry store of j. w.
DOrrah here recently, was captured in
California and is being held by the
authorities pending requisition p ro-
ceedings. 1t is alleged in the requi-
sition prepared by the county attor-
ncy that he was going by the name
of David Beatty when arrested. The
allegation further states that portion
OF the jewelry was redeemed by the
Officers of the city and county short
ly after the robbery was committed,
and that later some more of it was
returned by mail, with no name at
tached to the package.
Sheriff Garrett went to work on the
case Immediately, and having a hunch
that Morgan would make application
TO join either the rmy or navy, got in
to communication with the officers Of
both branches Of the service. Morgan
it is alleged enlisted at Houston, Tex,
under the name of David Beatty, and
was afterwards transferred to the ma
val training station at San Francisco.
As soon as the authorities were ap-
prised that he was the man wanted,
they Immediately wired Sheriff Gar
rett that they had him and advised
that reQuisition proceedings be insti-
r. ID at once. The county attorney
has forwarded the papers to Governor
Williams and stated that he was rea
sonably certain that Morgan would be
returned here to stand trial In his
requisition petition the county attor-
ney sets forth the allegations of sew
eral other affairs that young Morgan
has been accused of, and requested
that the governor take prompt steps
for his return.

COCA COLA CASE REVERSED
Supreme Court Sends Litigation Back
to Jury for Trial


Washington, May 24-The supreme
court today reversed the Tennessee
federal courts, which refused to con-
fiscate, on petition of the government,
forty barrels of coca cola as violating
the pure food law and sent the case
back for presentation to a jury to
determine whether caffeine contained
in coca cola is injurious to health.
Justice Hughes, for the unanimous
court, held the Tennessee courts had
erred in deciding that no poisonous ar
ticles could be added to a proprietary
food, composed of ingredients brought
together within the meaning of the
pure food law, which declares to be
adulterated, any product with added
poisonous or injurious Ingredients
Justice Hughes held the provisions
of the statute were somewhat incon-
gruous, but that it was evident "ad-
ded" meant ',artifcially introduced
The jury, the court held, should al
so pass on whether there is any coca
or any cola in the product.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair. be careful
what you use. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much afkali, which
is very injurious as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain mul-
sif3ed cocoanut OIL. for this is pure and
entirely greaseleSs. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to- pieces. You can get this
at any drug store, and few ounces will
last the whole family for months
Simply moisten the hair with water and
rub it in about a teaspoor,ful is all that
ia required. 1t makes an abundance of
rich. creamy lather. cleanses thoroughly,
and rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and is soft, fresf,
looking. bright. fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides. it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust. dirt and dandruff

AS March winds. flying dust and dirt
are apt to injure any complexion. this in
formation will be of special value right
now. If you have any cutaneous blemish
don't use paint. powder or anything else
to cover it up. Too often this only en-
phasizes the defect. Besides, it's much
easier to remove the Disagreement with
ordinary mercolized wax. Applied night

soft, youthful and beautiful skin beneath
is brought wholly to view. Ask the drug
gist for one ounce of mercolized wax
and use this like you use cold cream. Re-

Many who have tried this simple. harm
less treatment report astonishing results.
If bothered with wrinkles or burrows, a

LENT IN GARDINER -a
UNIVERSALIST CHURCH

The Cniversalist church of this city
Is to observe the Lenten season in a
very unique manner. There are to be no
special services but there will be spe-
cial conservation. The pastor explained
to the congregation Sunday morn
ing that the real value Of Lent is not
in the things that are sacrificed or CIV
en- up. but in the special consecrat ton
Of life and service for religious pur-
poses. One thing that is to chara cter-
ize the Lenten season as a season of
special conservation in the Universal
list church is the fact that it will be a
Go-to-C Church season. Everyone in
Gardiner whose church preference is
tniversalist will make a special effort
to attend church every Sunday during
Lent.
