early yot for the effect of the pres
ent attempt to be developed. The
British commander. however, reports
that the attacks themselves, Ave in
number, were complete failures, the
Germans not being able to make any
appreciable impression on the Brit
lsh positions along the Ypres- s-Mentn
road and at the southeastern edge or
Polygon wood. where the thrusts
were delivered.
With. the whole German line In
Flanders hanging in the balance. as
the military maps show, small sur
prise Is expressed that the German
command is making such desperate
efforts to balksthe British plans and
is fighting hard for every inch of
ground protecting the Lille -Osten
railway, scant six miles beyond the
present point of the advancing Brit
ish wedge.
On their front in Northern France
the French are holding themselves in
restraint at present permitting the
crown Prince TO hammer at their
lines in attacks which almost invari-
ably are repulsed with heavy Ger
man losses. Two attacks by the Ger
mans in the Craonne sector on the
Aisne front last night were repulsed.
Efforts by the Germans on two occa-
sions to recapture trenches which
they had lost in the Beaumont re-
gion in the Verdun front also were
unsuccessful.
While Britishers are urging re-
prisals for the German attacks on
London the French are actually con-
Quoting such retributive enterprises.
Sunday night they bombed the Ger
man city of Stuttgart, 100 miles be-
hind the frontier and last night the
reprisals were continued on larger
scale. Stuttgart was again visited by
French airmen and the Prussian city
of Frankfort the-Main with
about 100000 population and more
than 125 miles from the French bor-
der. also was subjected to aerial
attack. The Prussian towns of Tre-
YES and Coblenz were other places
bombed by the French raiders.

CURB MARKETS IN
STATE INCREASE
Howard Heinz Says That the
Idea Is Taking in Many
Cities This Fall

Plans are complete for the opening
of additional curb markets at South
Bethlehem. Chester, Pottsville and

rived 1t is certain that a large num-
ber OF cities ana towns throughout
the entire state will have adopted the
curb market as strong ally in the
solution of the food distribution prob.
lem.
Howard Heinz. director of the Food
supply Department of the Pennsylva-
mia Committee of Public Safety. is de.
lighted with the success of the old
time marketing system as a means to
bring producer and consumer into di-
rect contact and reduce the cost OF
living. He pointed out how the first
curb market established at Allentown
has now expanded to three separate
markets in different parts of the city.
scranton made an experiment with
one. 1t was patronized so well that
four curb markets are now in opera
tion. Johnstown has two and Hazle-
ton. Pittston. Coatesville, Altoona and
Chambersburg each have one.
The curb market is an interesting
institution: Not only. does 1t encour:
prices for his products. but the con-
sumner gets the profit that ordinarily
would go to the midleman and the
goods purchased are fresher. Retail
merchants are directly benefited
through increased trade activity be-
cause of the farmers who come to
town and who have money to spend

When purchasing merchandise for his
store, the wise merchant doesn't make guam
tity the fundamental of the transaction Pri-
marily the quality must be right.
The same sound principle should dominate
his purchase of newspaper advertising space.
The people who read a newspaper and their
reason for reading it are vitally important fac
tors in its worth as an advertising medium.
Therefore, in the consideration of any news
paper, the advertiser should analyze it care
fully from this angle-'Who reads it-and
why?"
10 assist advertisers in thus analyzing the
Harrisburg Telegraph these few facts are
printed.
Who reads the Harrisburg Telegraph and
why?
The muck-raker?-N Muck is filth-the
columns of the Telegraph are Clean.
The sensationalist? No! The Telegraph
is conservative prints only authentic news
news that will give the reader correct rec
ord of events-at home and abroad.
The back-biter? No! The Telegraph de-
votes its efforts to building, not to destroying.
1t wants to mould public opinion in a con-
structive, not destructive, way.
The pessimist? No! The Harrisburg Tele-.
graph believes in Harrisburg and Central
Pennsylvania-in the citizens of its commun-
ity-and that great future lies just ahead
Who does read the Harrisburg Telegraph,
and why?
That big army of people who want the COR
rect news, up-to-the-minute, in clean, bright
constructive way-a newspaper, the reading
of which will inspire confidence, good will and
constancy.
That is why in IS per cent. of the homes
in its field the Harrisburg Telegraph is daily
visitor.
That is why people are willing to pay more
to get it than other papers cost = They
WANT it.
Not ALL the desirable homes receive it each
evening-BUT PRETTY NEARLY ALL.
And eventually all those who want clean,
correct, cheerful, wholesome and satisfying
reading about the evening round table of the
home, will welcome it.
IN the meantime, the advertiser can tell
his message through the columns of the Tele-
graph to pretty nearly all of the desirable
homes in Central PENNSYLVANIA where this
newspaper is WANTED MORE THAN ANY

And it costs less to do it!

ulars. Although the machines were
thousands of feet in the air. the fire

distinctly below. When the echoes
of this fight died away the anti-air-

dicating that the enemy was being

ment.
Raider Loses Way
According to a report from an Es-
sex district a heavy mist which
came up while the raid was in pro-
gress caused one raider to lose his
way while going back to the coast.
The German flew very low and could
be seen clearly and appeared to be
enveloped in ring of bursting shells.
Seemingly trapped, the airmen be-
gan a series of dips and other hair
raising stunts. He succeeded in
breaking through the shell fire and
made for sea, pursued by a streak
of gun fire.

night. There were great crowds
everywhere laughing and joking and
many were singing. Others were
searching in the bright moonlight
for fragments of shrapnel for
souvenirs.
Drop Bombs i'm Hurry
Although details were slow in
coming in, it was apparent that the
barrage of the anti-aircraft guns
again was effective in thwarting the
German efforts. AS on other nights,
the guns made it so hot for the
raiders, that they drapped bombs in
open places, their one concern being
apparently to unload and get away
The growing confidence of Lon
doners in the ability of the anti
aircraft guns to keep the raiders
at bay was shown by the fearless
ness and good behavior of the
crowds. The tactics of the Germans

spirited betting among sportsmen
