Prisoners admit ruefuNy, that the
attack was surprise to them, and
caught many of them in their dug

the offensive. Guns, tanks and troops
were moved into the Cambria sector

Another Draft Needed.

This country, in war, is finding
out many vital things which it should
have known many decades ago. Ac-
cording to the army regulations,
there is a great per cent. of our peo-
pie who are of no use to their coun-
try, as to army service. But there
should be another draft, on a lower
basis of qualifications, and every
man, woman and child who can rem
der the least service should be In
ed up. The foreign nations at war
are gradually being bled white, and
the longer it continues, the more we
shall be affected. The last three
years of observation should teach US
to put every individual IN the fray
at once, and not wait until we are
reduced to the lowest level. Now,
there are millions of non producers,
and, what Is much worse, they are
offensive spenders. 1t is not just
that any one class OF people should
bear all the burdens, and especially
those who have the least at stake.
A mother who gives one son to the
war has made a greater contribution
than can be made in money.

Examination for Boys Agricdi tufal
Club.

On the afternoon Of Saturday,
August 4th, at one O'Clock there will
be an examination held fOI the raen-
bers Of the Boys Agricultural Club
Of Muhlenberg county. This exam
lnation will be IN the office of the
Farm Agent at Greenville and
will cover the work studied By the
boys this year. The object of this
is to decide who shall win the free
trip to the State Fair in September.
We urge that every boy club mem
Der be present and make an effort
to win this trip which will be very
interesting and highly educational.
There are at present 50 boys who
are active workers in the club, all of
whom have put forth every effort
for great success, and there lis no
doubt but that the judges will exper-
fence some difficulty in selecting the
one who has made the most careful
study and done the best work
immediately following the exam
nation Mr.. Duncan, Manager of
Queen Theatre will entertain the
club members with several films of
pictures, of the class that is rapidly
making this theatre among III, most
popular picture houses in the. state.
This is rare opportunity for some
boy in the county to atterd the
State Fair at Louisville, where
he cannot only see the splendid dis
play of farm products from other
counties in the state, but where he
will be able to learn many valuable
lessons in food produ ction ard food
conservation.
