came from the flock of Griffith and
Loesch.
There has been several inquiries
for feeder cattle, by farmers who
have silos. 1t is suggested that stock
men might find a market for a few
carloads of real good feeders locally

high in price the price of pork is high
enough to enable one to make a profit.
This shipment brought $500 per cwt.

market
The market milk situation at Mont
rose is becoming quite serious. Near

cows on account of high priced feeds
and labor difficultuies. There is an
excellent opening for a well regulated
dairy to supply the retail trade. II
hardly seems necessary that milk
famine should exist. If proper manage
ment of a dairy were exercised. II is
suggested that some dairyman look
into this matter as it would afford an
excellent market for good milk. Think
it over

Growing Rapidly.

That Delta is progressing rapidly is
manifested to certain degree by the
fact that this city has recently been
appointed by your Uncle Sammy as
a supply depot From here all other
postoffices of the county obtain their
supplies of every description. Hence
it will be seen that the postmaster's
job is no boys play in this place and

LITTLE GIRL IN FLAMES
Mrs. Maria Genneni Saves Ilfe of Katherine. Aged 3, .t Great Risk

Playing about pile of burning waste paper near her home this morn- ing, Katherine Remixxi. three-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs Raphael Remizzi of rear 865 Arch street, got too near the flames, her clothing ig- hitting and threatening to burn her alive. Screams summoned assistance from neighbors, members of the fed eral troops on duty at the armory nearby and from neighboring stores. Heroic work of Mrs. Maria Cement. a neighbor, undoubtedly saved the lit- tie victims life. At the risk of having her own clothes ignited and suffering serious burns to hands and arms, she rushed to the side of the rapidly ap- preaching human torch. tore off the burning clothing rolled the little body on the ground. Mrs. Remizza became hysterical at the sight and sound of her daughters screams of agony.

Mendel Volkenheim gave first aid treatment pending the arrival of the police ambulance in charge of Chauf- feur Matthias Rival and Policeman William P. Hayes.

STRATEGIC RETREAT''
 5sSk9 $. EXPLANATION FAILS.
Germans Beginning to Doubt
 Truth of War Bulletins

Copenhagen May 7.-All is appar- ently not easy sailing for the German military authorities in their efforts to convince tho people at homo that everything is going we'll on tho west ern front.
 ! Tho German military critics occa- sionally refer in their articles to let- ters of criticism from readers on ,this or that feature of the war reports, an- dicating not only an unwillingness to take the oflioial bulletins and tho de- spatches of the war correspondents at their face value, but also that the number of doubting Thomases is large.
 A few weeks ego, as is evident from articles by Captain salzmann In the Vossische Zeitung and by other writ CTS laboriously replying to hood of critical letters, there was displayed an inability to see a great victory in Won Hndenburg's strategic retirement And now a writer in the Deutsche Tageszeitung says that many a good patriot is struck by the discrepancy between the German and the foreign reports and is showing a hesitation to accept the German figures of the num- ber of enemy airplanes destroyed.
  the Somme offensive. Is the refusal of the British and French to discontinue attacking, despite the often-reiterated official declarations that the general offensive has broken down in defeat. These were accompanied last year by calculations to show that Germany's opponents had exhausted their last re- serves. but the statements were sub- jected to such repeated revision that this year a more sparing use Is made of the argument.
 A feature of the war in recent days has been the steady extension of the appeal to public sentiment on the part of the military. The attitude at the outset was that the public were en- titled to no information, and that the less news published, even in oflcial bulletins the better. This, however, has yielded to recognition that without popular sentiment behind 1t the con- duct of successful war Is impossible. The military authorities themselves established for this years campaign a big organization to supply the press with populArly written discussions and of military events to supS plement the official bulletins and the of the war correspondents. These articles are now being issued so copiously that the press is able to print them only in part although they are timely and we'll written.
 It seems probable that the army's official bulletins, despite the numbers that regard them skeptically still hold the confidence of tho general public. They certainly did up to the time of he Associated Press correspondence departure from Berlin. in contrast with those of the admiralty, whose publicity work especially after the Butcher fight and the battle of Jut- and, was received with considerable in Germany.

Washington. May 7.-To give ad- ministration leaders opportunity to explain their reasons for their insist ence on the embargo and newspapers censorship sections of the administra- uon espionage bill. the senate closed its doors today when it took up that measure. Senators understood the government has information to show that under present conditions facts of military value are getting to the enemy and that censorship section would stop it. Retention of the em- bargo section was supported by facts showing that despite all precautions supplies are getting into Germany through neutral countries.
 Senator Martin, the democratic leader. told the senators President Wilson had called him to the White House and said he would be embar- rassed in dealing with the queston of supplies getting into Germany if the senate passed the embargo section as amended with restrictions last week.
 Senator Martin pleaded with the senate to stand by the president. There might be difficulty, he said. in, obtain ing facts to support an embargo and the senate should be willing to leave the question to the judgment of the presidenF
