(By Associated Press.) }

Austrian official statements supple
menting announcements from Rome,
indicate that the Italian offensive IN
the Julian and on the Cars9 sectors
is growing steadily in Importance and
extent. General CadOrnat apparent
ly is making a supreme ehoEt for 4
decision, and the brilliant successes
he already has won have brought high
hopes. '|.
The Italian commander seems to be
following the usual French tactics Of
striking mighty alternative blows at
his enemy's fanks. The roar Of his
guns can already bs heard at Tftest.
but the wilderness of volcanic rocks
and caves which lie between him and
his goal make a rapid advance under
the most favorable circumstances u
impossibility. az
Ten Miles Away .-.
The most advance Italian posts are
scarcely ten miles from the Austrian
naval base, but this is not to be COM
pared with an equal distance In an
open country ipr IN i@ =.
The Italians have struck at q time
when political condition In Hungary
have assumed acute shape. The re-
signation of Count Tisza, Iron Man"
of the Dual of Monarchy, and Staunch
pillar of n-Germanism and Junker-
dom, comes OH the eve of the assem-
bly, Of the Austrian Parliament, step
bitterly fought by the beaurocrats
since the outbreak of the war and bit
terly cOntended for by the democratic
leaders. The two events give de-
cided color to the numerous reports
that young Emperor Charles has demo-
cratic leanings and consequently 10
opposed to the autOcracy of Berlin,
Significant Indication
A significant indication of the EN-
perors position comes from the re-
port that he has summoned Count Al
bert Apponyi and Julius Andrassy to
an audience. Both men have been
conspicuous for years as leader Of the
Liberals in the Empire, and have been
consistent opponents Of Count Tia.
Count Apponyi has delivered numerous
lectures in the United States and Count
Andrassy is credited with having Z
warm appreciation of England. He
has advocated universal suffrage tn
Austria Hungary and is also the faith
er of scheme for q worlds forum.
Prepare For Drive
No change of Importance is reported
from any Of the other war theatres
The British are preparing for smother
drive in the Arras region. but bad
weather has delayed the blow.
In Russia, Minister Of War kerens~
Ky is reported to have met with COM
siderable success. Presumably the
decentralization in Russia's hghtinG
forces has forced halt in the British
campaign in Mesopotamia % nothing
has been heard from that region for
some time.

the fact that a western outpost which

from the central to the western de.

the jurisdiction of this department.,
and for the further reason that a

nounced today by E. O.. Hathaway OF

"Good roads are necessary to as

pered in it's efforts to push ahead
highway work through the, lack OF
labor, but there certainly is no in
tention Of curtailing expenditures in
this direction. The need of good
roads is more apparent in war time
than, in times of peace. This is par.
ticularly true here in your own state

REDUCTION OVER APRIL

London, May i25. The successes
against submarines have resulted in
a distinct Improvement in our food

today in the house of commons.
The premier said more destructive
blows. were struck at the submarines
during the last three weeks than in
any corresponding period Of the war.
The shipping losses for May, the
premier said, probably would show a
reduction from the April figures. In
speaking Of the successes against the
submarine, he said:
I'VE owe a great debt of gratitude
to the American people for the aid
they have rendered and for the craft
they have placed at our disposal. 1t
is now easier to arrange for the pro-
lection Of our mercantile marine than
it ever was before" 49,,
Mr.. Lloyd George asserted there
was no danger to the country from
starvation, but that the utmost econ
omy in foodstuffs is still essential.

mers Of the northwest have heard their
cOuntry's call and answered it ;. -.
They will grow II billion lOaves Of
bread this year.
After thorough investigation of ac-
reage sown, after several trips through
the big wheat producing sections, and
from reports of reliable crop corres-
pondents l predict the northwest will
grow this year: %tt
Three hundred million bushels of
wheat means in bread terms-approxi-
mately IL billion pounds of -four, ac-
cording to present milling methods
and nearly Is million pounds if we
adopt England's wartime milling
method and turn 80 per cent OF wheat
into flour, instead of 81 per cent.
But our II billion pounds Of

an and child IN continental United
States.
Industrial Agent J. Robinson of the
Great Northern railroad, who has been
all over the northwest since seeding
time, places the wheat production at
315 million bushels.
My conservative estimate means the
northwest will this year produce 180
million more bushels of spring wheat
that last year.
The winter wheat states, according
to latest government estimate, will
produce 366 million bushels. That
is lis million bushels less than those
states grew in 1916.
So the northwest will make up
that winter wheat deficit with IS
million bushels to spare.
North Dakota will be the banner
wheat state of America this year,
weather permitting. Her crop will
touch the 1875 million blisliel mark,
as against 40 million bushels last
year. =.
South Dakota and Minnesota will
thresh GO million each. In 1916 both
combined marketed less than 65 mil
lion bushels. Montana will come up
to so million bushel figure, double last
years crop.
Soil conditions are now better than
in 1915 when the greatest of all spring
wheat crops-352 million bushels
was threshed.
All winter long the biggest snow the
northwest has had in years lay upon
the ground. That's moisture all

noted for dryness.
Seeding got late start because OF

FEW FOLKS HAVE.
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when 1t fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, Is caused by lack Of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture Of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands Of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is SO at
tractive, use only the old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for 50-cent bottle Of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which
darkens the hair SO naturally, SO even
ly, that nobody can possibly tell 1t
has been applied. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. BY morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but
what delights the ladies' with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, 1t also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t
an appearance Of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is q delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and youthful appear
ance to the hair. 1t Is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease.

SINGING NETTLE FOR CLOTH
Successful Use OF Fiber as Substitute
for Cotton In Germany Reported
by Uncle Sans Consul.

Making cloth out Of the singing net
tie, as substitute for cotton, is one
of the latest achievements Of the Ger
mans, according to Uncle Sans con-
sui at Stuttgart.
Doctor Richter of Vienna, who was
responsible for the efforts to utilize
this fiber, Is quoted as stating In the
Course of a lecture on the progress OF
his research that all the conditions for
profitable production have been found,
and that Germany and Austria, by
means of methodical cultivation of
the nettle, could make themselves en-
tirely independent of the cotton pro-
ducers.
During 1915 and in the spring Of
1916 experiments were made In the
cultivation Of the nettle In numerous
districts along the Danube In Austria
and Hungary, and all with splendid
results. AS result Of these expert
ments the question was taken up
whether there was In Austria and
Hungary sufficient area of suitable
soil which does not come into ques-
ton for the cultivation of other crops.
Prof. Marchet has through thorough
investigation established the fact that
In the Niederwald In Austria there
are 100000 acres, splendldly adapt
ed to the cultivation of the nettle, and
which up to the present have not been
utilized for any purpose.
According to Doctor Rlchter's esti.
mates this is twice the area needed
to produce sufficient nettle fiber to re.
place the cotton Imports Of both Ger
many and Hungary. Samples
Of cloth which were shown are consld-
cred by him as proof that fabrics can
be produced from nettle fiber without
any admixture Of cotton, and that they
can be used for any purpose for which
pure cotton fabrics have heretofore
been used.
