BODY OF HOFFMAN BOY
ROSE AND SANK AGAT


All doubt as to the fate of
Glen Hoffman was removed
just before z o'clock last even
ing when a guard stationed a
short distance below Auger
Falls saw the body arise, float
for a moment and then sink out
of sight. He at once notified
others and a systematic search
was begun and continued all
last night and this morning
around the spot where the
body disappeared, but without
result up to the time that the
TIMES went to press. Rumors
around town that two bullet
marks we're seen on the body
were denied at noon today from
the office of the sheriff in Je-
rome, as it was stated that the
guard was not near enough TO
determine the body had marks
on it or not. 1t was suggested
from Jerome that any who de-
sired to volunteer to help in
the search on this side of the
river, might render useful ser
vice.

LONDON, May 15-Germany today
launched a concerted counter attack
on both the French and British fronts,
which is probably part of a general
counter offensive movement. Most of
the attacks were repulsed but both the
British and French were compelled to
relinquish insignificant bits of ground.
General Haig reported a tremendous
German bombardment on the posi-
tions gained on the Hindenberg lines,
particularly at Bullescourt. The fight
ing has been heavy and General Haig
admitted that the British had been
compelled to retreat a short distance
in the northern part of Bullecourt
The French headquarters officially re-
ported a violent German bombardment
of the positions recently captured
The assault was repulsed except in
one spot where the Germans made and
retained a gain

The exhibits of corn, sweetpota.

Piles etc. as fine as you ever look
ed at. The other departments
had a splendid variety and collec-
ton of nice things. In fact every
thing exhibited was superb. and
every one present had a most de-
lightful day. We desire to say
that our hustling, energetic and
never-tiring county agent. ]. B.
Baker, deserves the greatest
praise for bringing about and get
ting this fair up. 1t certainly
took nerve and energy. and was
worth hundreds of dollars to the
county at large. Three cheers
for Baker. The psize winners
will be published next week.

TRIBUNE MAKES HIM SOCIAL
IST. Every knock from the Tribune
was a boost for Aid. Kennedy. No
other newspaper in the whole world
would lower itself like the Tribune
did by attacking an honest mans
character and council record.
However, these vile criticisms did
not carry much weight with the in
telIigent voters of the 9th ward.
They returned Kennedy to the city
council by a larger majority than any
other candidate. Aid. Kennedy is
one of the leaders in the council and
many years ahead Of the times. The
people of the 9th ward could not af-
ford to lose such a valuable man.
I really do believe that the Tribune
is making Socialists out of the peO-
pie very rapidly. It has made one of
me. Now I am satisfied. I have
barred that poison sheet from my Ia
bic forever. Who is going to join

young men between 10 and Is will
bear the burden. I am the owner Of
a cigar store. I hear the converse
lions of many of the young men on
the subject.
Some are in favor Of war, others
are disguised with conditions; all are
patriotic. But the treatment some
of these young men have received at
the hands of corporations, coupled
with the high cost Of living, is starv-
ing their patriotism and will not ben

The case that impressed me most
was that of a splendid young type Of
American manhood. He is honest,
reliable, industrious. He went to
work for Sears, ROebUck & Co. in
August, 1916. He worked all through
the rush. Two weeks ago, just be-
fore the quarterly bonus came due,
they called him into the Office and
told him his references were no good.
1t took them eight months to find it
out. The bonus stimulated their in
