BOWERS.

The resort is now in full swing and
+ everybody is looking forward TO the
big days that bring the crowds to the
shore. The cottages are all filled.
The hotels and boarding houses are
taxed to their utmost capacity. The
farmers and producers are busy
bringing in their produce and the
hucksters and fishermen find ready
market for their wares.
Tuesday evening. on the arrival of
the steamboat Frederick, a great in
fiux of passengers arrived, to be on
hand for Big Thursday. and among
them was the horde of fakirs, catch
penny people, novelty sellers and ven
ders of all descriptions, to fit up to
ply their trade on the big day. Many
passengers arrived for the cottages,
hotels and boarding houses, and
large number to visit their friends in
town and the country contiguous
thereto. The city cousin was much
in evidence. Well, come along, we
more the merrier.
The town fathers have increased
their police force and have an officer
on continuous duty, which we hope
he will perform strictly, and especial
ly in checking reckless and unlawful
automobile driving in town.
The steamboat company should ar
range to have an officer on the wharf,
especially on the arrival of the boat
from the city, to protect its patrons
from the mob of people that congre-
gate there, before a serious accident
occurs. Passengers can scarcely get
off the boat to go to their destina-
ton.

Milford chronicle., 1917-08-10

during the noon hour, when the heat
was sizzling up in the nineties, Post
master Kelly went to his barn and in
a shaded spot found his old favorite
cat, "Bennie." lying cold in death, or
at least that was his conclusion after
an examination. He then proceeded
I to make a coffin for it and wrote out
an inscription and attached to the
lid, as follows: "Bennie, our old faith
| ful cat, departed this life on August
/ the second, 1917, from old age super
induced by the heat, aged 10 years,
months and - days-Gone but not
forgotten. When the shades of ev-
ening had spread its mantle Ger the
earth, he and his family proceeded to
perform the obsequies, but to his
great astonishment, Bennie was mon

To continue to exist-that is the

gone far and wide in its study Of hu-

they are. More broadly, It viii con-

be derived from the soil. Man, being
the stronger, dominates and controls
the production and supply Of vegeta-

FRENCH LOSSES ARE

on the French Front in France,
June Between April | 8 and May
- the number OF German prisoners
falling into French hands reached
total OF 81 .s29. of whom 2S.045 were
unwounded. This period covers three
phases OF the general attack, now
temporarily abated. which the French
undoubtedly will continue when the
proper moment arrives
As a result OF their successful at
tacks the French now possess the
initiative and occupy more important
positions then when they began the
forward movement in April Artil-
lery duels continue increasingly at all
points on the front. occasionally in
termingled with local infantry com
bats in which short stretches OF
trench sometimes change hands.
Thus far the French always have
regained any positions taken from
them. and at some places have bitten
farther into the German lines.
The Germans are showing great
nervousness as to what is about TO
happen. and the slightest movement
in the French line calls forth a hurri-
cane OF artillery and machine-gun
fire. The absolute confidence of the
French in their superiority is seen In
the manner in which they move on
when ordered to attack. The tactics
now employed permit them to attack
with minimum losses
This was demonstrated, for in
stances in recent raid in the range
of hills aBi the woods south OF
Cheyreux. A small body of French
infantry advanced in order to
straighten the line, severe artillery
preparations having proceeded the as
sault. The Infantry gained the OBJ
jective and took thirty prisoners in
addition to killing number OF Ger.
mans. Later il was discovered
French shells had battered the Ger
man shelters so thoroughly that six
full German companies, crouchlng
in the shelters while awaiting an op-
portunity for counter attack. had
been killed to the last man. The place
was a shambles. The total French
loss in this affair amounted to ouly
twenty-seyen men killed or wound
ed.
This proposition applies only to
one corner OF the battlefield, for In
other places the French encountered
difficulties which held them back for
a period and entalled much more Sc
