PARIS, April 23.-Although no of flcial information Is available on the subject 1t is believed in local news paper circles that the conference of prominent representatives of the allies held here several days go was for the purpose of making ar rangements for giant offensive on the part of allied troops Just where the attack will be made if the conclusions of the newspaper men are correct, is not stated, but 1t is thought that an attempt will be made to drive the Germans back all along the western battlefront. Troops of all of the allied nations available will be used in the attack, the general report being to the eff feet that Italy will bring the flower of her army to France for that pur- pose, although a formal declaration of war has never passed between 1 Germany and Italy.
 It is also reported here that the Germans are preparing for another giant offensive somewhere on the western front It is believed how ever, that the report is regarding the new attack being made at Yer dun by the German forces.
 But at any rate it is the conSen- sus of opinion here among those ia miliar with general circumstances, that no matter which side takes the offensive, the next struggle will be the fiercest of the war.

MONTICELLO MULES

Mr.. b. e. Fox sold thirty.two head
of two year old mules at public auction
last Monday at Monticello at an average
of sl45 head. Mr.. Fox tells US. this
is one of the best sales he has conduct
ed for some time and the bidding was
brisk until the last mule was sold. The
satisfactory sale of mules that was
conducted here last Monday indicates
that a mule and horse sale held in Lam
caster every court day would be good
thing tor the promoters as well as the
sellers. over one hundred mules
changed hands here last Monday and if
advertised properly. buyers would come
from all over the state and Lancaster
would have one Of the best mule mar
kets in the state. What say you,

The most important measure for the
democratic Administration during the
entire Legislature was the passing of
the substitute for the Green Bill. Ac-
cording to the opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Logan this law will enable the
Administration to enforce the Sunday
closing law and had the endorsement
of all the State Officials. Representa-
tive Frank Green has been a persistent
enemy of the democratic Administra-
ton during this term Of the Legislature
and has sought every opportunity to
embarrass his party. The crushing blow
that he received last Saturday was
what could have been expected tc one
elected as a party man and without re-
gard to the future of his organization
recklessly does anything in mis- power
to destroy it. Hon. Clay Kaufman has
stood square with the Administration
and has been one of the leaders of his
party during the entire term. He has
been very warmly congratulated by his
friends at home for the manner IN
which he has conducted himself and
the loyal support he has given the
Administration. He has voted with
the Administration ON all party meas
ures, Just what the democrats of Gar
rard county expected MIN to do. and
he has not disappointed them in the
least.

ought to be supported not because you

HEALTH IS BASIS
OF ALL CONTENT
The Hall Sick Man or woman Is A Strau.
ger To Happiness.

Contentment is the very essence Of
happiness. But. to be contented. or
happy. IL YOU will, one must FIRST have
good health.
Our supreme toast to the one we adj
mire is Health. wealth and happi-
ness. and the keystone is health.
So many persons complain Of being
nervous and run down. This is the age
of speed. we haven't time to care for
ourselves. These run down men and
women are not exactly sick. but just
tired out. languid or maybe good-for-
nothing most Of the time. Their busi-
ness. their home and their life suffer.
They need something to build them
up. something to throw off these symp-
toms of a weakened. debilitated con-
dition produced by either mental or
physical overwork or by the abuse Of a
vital organ-more often the stomach
than any other.
That something has been found. II
Is Tanlac. A tonic of rare properties,
an appetizer and general invigorant
that rids the system of congestion,
tones up the stomach, overcoming in
digestion. headaches. backaches, non
assimilation of food. nervousness. diz-
illness. ailments of kidneys and liver,
and the complaints thst are so common
to the half sick. debilitated men and

An examination of the Bank Deposits
of our County as published show that
our people have no more money in bank
than heretofore. The loans and dis
counts of the Banks are as much as
have been In the past. Yet the public
records show an increased mortgage
Indebtedness in the County to foreign
loan and insurance companies Of more
t1an Sl25. 900. 90. The conclusion of a
casual observer in considering the facts,
is that the people of our County are liv-
ing beyond their means. This doubt
less does not apply to any particular
class but TO a great body Of our citizens.
1t might be attributable to some Incid-
entail causes other than extravaganza.
There can be nothing more unfortunate
for community ike ours than its peo-
pie 10 fall into the habit Of living too
fast. Those leaders Of business who
control the general affairs should look
carefully into this situation and have
halt called If our Indebtedness is ac-
cumulating more rapidly than In the
past. This cannot be done by few Of
the business leaders but can be by COM
bined effort of those who are in control
in all parts Of the County.
