HOME DEMONSTRATION
PROVIDED BY MERCHANT
MIX. JONES OF MAYPEARL WILL
BEAR EXPENSE OF HOME
DEMONSTRATION WORK.
Believes Money win Me Spent for n
Good Cause and Volunteers to
Give Maypeari's Part Of DEM
onstrator's Salary.

When the business men of May
pearl turned down the proposition
put before them this week to have a
part In the maintenance of Home
Demonstration work in their COM
rlunity and the county. Mr.. Jones
OF the firm Of Jones & Davis. decided
to bear the burden OF the expense
alone rather than have his COM
nlunity go without Home Demonstra-
ton work. He agreed with Secre-
tary Schuster OF the local Chamber
OF Commerce to pay the price and
give Maypeari girls the same advan-
,tage enjoyed by other communities
in the county.
This Is a most noble act. Many
people nowadays do not realize the
Importance OF carrying on this work.
but in time sentiment will change
and the people will know what an
excellent work Mr.. Jones has done
for his community. The United
States and state governments are
spending many thousands of dollars
in an effort to teach the farmers
how best to farm. but not until very
recently have these governments
spent q cent toward teaching the
girls OF the community how to keep
a home. The work begins first
with the canning clubs and then step
by step the girl is taught how to
take care OF home after the little
and inexpensive conveniences have
been provided. This work also
opens up an avenue through which
the women Of the farm add to the
revenue OF the farm by growing and
canning vegetables.
Mr.. Jones was very greatly inter-
ested in che work when it was
brought to his attention and he un-
dertook to get the business men of
Msypearl to cooperate in the work,
but when he failed in this there was
only one other thing to do and that
was to put up the money himself to
carry this work on in the community
during the coming year. This he
did and az result Of his generosity
the girls of Maypearl community
may have free instructions in can
ming club work.
II Is Mrs. Davis plan to organize
class there and push the work to
the very limit in order to make q
good showing.

PARIS, April 29.-The crown prince
resumed the drive on Verdun last
night with heavy attacks against the
French positions on both banks of the
Meuse. The Germans launched an at
tack at five o'clock last night against
Hill 3O4, the keystone Of the French
defenses northwest Of Verdun. The
war office announced today that this
assault was stopped by grenade
counter attack.
On the right bank Of the Meuse, the
Germans delivered an even more vlol.
ent attack east OF Thiaumount farm,
but were driven back, suffering heavy
losses.
The fighting on the east bank Of
the Meuse, north and northeast Of
Verdun, spread from the river itself
to the French positions around Oouau-
mount and Vaux village. On this wide
sector, savage fighting ragged through
out yesterday.
Following tho most violent arti4-
lery preparation and an intense cur
tain fire, the Germans charged the
where they have suffered frequent de-
feats. Liquid fire was sprayed upon
tho French advanced trenches as tho
Teutons advanced, but they were met
by steady streams Of shrapneI and
thrown back with heavy losses
Another German force, emerging
from the northern fringe Of Cailiette
wood, attacked heavily on the Douau-
mount-Vaux line, but was thrown
back without gain.
The Germans confined their Infant
ry activities on the west bank of the
Meuse to the attack on Hill 3o4- The
French artillery was most active
while this engagement was In pro-
gress, French shells blowing up a
German muntion depot. The Ger
mans shelIed AVocourt, Esnes and
French positions on Hill 3o4 through
out the day.

American Attitude on Armed Merchantmen

WASHINGTON, April 29.-There
was a marked relaxation OF tension
on the U boat situation today. 1t was
attributed largely to the knowledge
emanating from German diplomatic
sources both in Washington and Ber-
lin that the German foreign office has
completed its reply to President VIII
sons note on the submarine issue
and that the kaiser is discussing the
whole subject Of friendly relations be-
tween the two nations with Ambassa-
dor Gerard.
The German reply, which is expect

expression from German officials Of a
strong desire that there be no breach
In existing friendly intercourse be-
tween the United States and Germany.
is expected to be in President Will
sons hands by the middle OF next
week, If not sooner. The German en-
bassy's earlier forecast had put the
date of the replys receipt as late as
the end Of the week.
In the belief that German officials
have met the embarrassing problem
facing them, there is new much con-
lecture as to how far the kaiser has
gone to meet President Wilson's con-
tentions and demands. Mere express
sions Of regard and desire for friend

with the American position, will not
save the situation it was made clear
today.

New FURRY In Berlin.
[By Carl w. Alderman, United Press
Correspondent
BERLIN, April 29.-Publication of
President Wilson's memorandum,
stating in precise terms the American
attitude with regard to armed mer.
chantmen, caused a new furry here
today.
No official comment was obtaina BILE.
The average Berliner, whose first
wave of anger over the American
note had subsidized, thought he saw
substantiation of the old charge that
the United States is doing everything
to help England.
The statement in the memorandum
that an armed merchantmen is
peaceful trading ship until conclusive
evidence to the contrary is offered.
was pointed to by several German
critics today.
"If I walk down the street with a
gun in my pocket, how does Presi-
dent Wilson know whether my inten-
tion is offensive or defensive" de-
manded one Berliner.
1t is too early to say whether pub
lication of the memorandum will
cause any hitch in the German-Amer-
ican negotiations which are now In a
satisfactory state. This information
probably will not be obtainable until
after the return Of Ambassador Ger
ard from the army headquarters con-
ference which was to begin today.
