British commander reported the oc-
cupation of important positions, the
capture of more than 1000 prisoners
and the infliction of heavy casual
ties on the Germans.
Heavy artillery preparations for
days has been going or, ard exter-

mendous infantry assault, and when
the British left the trenches they
were preceded by row of barrage
fire reaching into the German lines
to a greater depth than on any pre-
vious occasion. Concrete redoubts,
hundreds of machine guns, barbed
wire entanglements and marshy
ground faced the British in their
storming operations, but the heavy
guns had cut down many of the bar
riers and the British went forward
steadily, gaining all the objectives
laid down in the plan of operations
for the first day and penetrating the
German lines in places for a mile

WHEAT FED HOGS
BECAUSE OF HIGH
PRICE OF CORN
And Country Goes WheatIess;
Further Regulation Sag-
gested as Remedy

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. 20.-
Action BY the Federal Food Admin
lstratcr will be necessary to put a
stop to the alleged practice Of farm
ers in Northwestern Oklahoma in
feeding wheat to hogs, is the op-
inion of J. NJ. Aydelotte. chairman
of the State Council of Defense, to
whose attention the matter was
brought tonight. According to re-
ports from county agents to the
State Board of Agriculture, farmers
of at least two counties-Blaine and
Woods-are using wheat as food for
live stock instead of marketing the
grain for human consumption.
"While there is an apparent fall
lacy in feeding wheat to hogs in
Blaine county and holding 'wheatless
days in Oklahoma City, 100 miles
away" Mr.. Aydelotte said, 81 see
no chance of relieving the situation.
That is matter clearly within Mr..
Hoover's jurisdiction.
Scarcity of corn coupled with a
belief that the farmers feel the gov
ernment has fixed an arbitrary price
on his product at time when the
law of supply and demand was in his
favor, without, at the same time,
fixing prices Of other articles for
his consumption, according to farm
experts, was responsible for the ac-
ton of the farmers.
with corn worth 1926 a bushel
and wheat bringing from $3.50 to
$1.95 at the elevator, the farmers
are using wheat for fattening hogs,
their food values being almost iden-
ticl," the statement of the Baord
Of Agriculture says:
According to reports, the farmer
who, being as loyal as any other citi- ,
zen, and anxious to help win the
var, feels that he is being deprived !
# righteous profit from his pro- !
luct while others are allowed to ex-
lct war profits without govermen-
al interference"
Agricultural authorities agree that
approximately sixty per cent. or
100000 bushels of the 1917
vheat crop remain on Oklahoma
arms.

bombardment, are now being kept
safe from gas attacks under expert
medical care, in cooperation with
the French government. In Bel

pairing to care for between five and
six thousand children.

Eye Troubles
May Be Corrected
By Glasses

Correctly fitted glasses are the So
luton to most eye troubles. Optic
nerves that are working under a
strain of badly fitted glasses or with
out glasses cause headaches and lead
to serious optic trouble.
People who wear glasses must also
allow for the decreasing power of
their eyesight, due to age or intense
service and have glass lens made
suitable.
You need not go to the City or
elsewhere to get expert service in the
fitting of glasses. We guarantee
perfect satisfaction.

Boys, Raise a Sheep.

We are very short on sheep. Oul
100000 sheep at their best can only
grow enough wool to make each one
of us suit Of clothes once in four
years. The foreign wool which under
normal conditions came to US is now
largely diverted to war purposes
Thousands of boys and girls can each
raise one or two sheep and find suf.
ficient pasture on their own lawn, thus
turning Into food and clothes the grass
which has previously been thrown
away, writes II. II. Windsor In Popu-

kept, and be fed on the present waste
from kitchen and table. We must all

thoughtless. needless disregard OF
waste. Waste is little short of crime
at any time, and fully that in these
days when millions are sadly underfed
