has prompted some far reaching In

This condition may sbe accounted
for by the remarkable transformation

roads and automobile transportation
practically annihilate distance and
bring the outlying rural districts al
most within. the cities suburbs. Every
year seven million catalogues go into
seven million homes and are read by
an average of five persons each.
Thus thirty-fve millions of people
are being educated to send over the
heads of the home town merchants
five hundred million dollars to build
the big cities and kill the home
towns.
Many towns are content to see
their buildings go to decay; to deny
themselves the conveniences of water
and sewer systems, paved and well
lighted streets. They are satisfied
with inadequate school facilities.
Without city park. With little or
no support for the home town band.
With poor churches and half paid
ministers. With little or no cooper
alton between the town and country.
With jealousies and strife between
the business men. With apparent
| lack of civic pride and public spirit
Without loyalty or love for the home
| town. No one cares to move into
! such a town. The boys and girls
: move away as soon as they are old
1
are left to wonder why that town
are fit can survive.
/ But even these towns are not with
out their problems. Is Keokuk get
| ting all the trade which should come
here? Are the highways leading to
Keokuk such as to bring people this
way?
/ What about the provisions made
! for the proper sort of amusement
and entertainment for the young
people? Are there suitable social
centers? What plan is being made
now to provide for better citizenship
! later on?
These and others are some of the
things that Mr. Sias discusses in his
Home Town lecture. Every town has
It's own problems and outside men
with wide experience and community
m ethods can offer some things which
the home folks have overlooked. AT
rleast he can say things and receive
a hearing where oft times the home
man cannot.
The first night of the chautauqua
Monday, Aug. 81, will be given over
to the community interest address.
Mr.. Sias is man of great dynamic
force and finished dramatic elo
quence. His coming represents big
opportunity for this community.

Most Powerful Attack.

LONDON, Aug. G1.-The third anu
most powerful of all counter attacks
by Germans to regain ground cap
tured by the British southeast OF
Epehy, was thrown back by British
fire early today, Field Marshal Ha1s
reported.
The assault was made after violent
artillery preparation and behind
vast sheet of flame thrown by Ger.
man projectors. The fighting was OF
the most violent character.
1--WE hold all positions" was F1eld
Marshal Haig's comment in detailing
repulse of the enemy attempt
The British commander In chief
reported an improvement" in Brit
ish positions north of the Ypres-
Menin road. and told of a successful
British raid over wide front in the
neighborhood of the st. Quentine
canal. A number of prisoners were
taken.
Picked Troops Fall.
PARIS. Aug. 21.-German picked
troops were flung violently but
vainly against four points of the
French fighting line last night. At
three places on the Chemin Des
Danes, special strosstruppen battled
desperately to loose the French grip
and around Verdun General Petaln s
fighters repulsed assaults OF the
most violent nature.
All French ground was held, the
/ official statement declared today.
AT Cerny plateau the Germans at
! tackled at three points twice, the
official report asserted. They were
repulsed and flowed back to their
trenches with heavy losses.
German attempts at Hurtebise
likewise failed.
ION the front north of Verdun the
| Germans carried out an energetic
riposte blow. There were counter at,
| tacks Of the most violent nature,
notably at Avocourt and Caurieres
woods, which were all broken up in
the fire of the French troops. We
kept all our gains which we are now
organizing. The Germans lost heav,
lily.
Yesterday over five thousand I'm.
wounded prisoners and lie officers
were captured.
German aviators bombarded the
French rear, especially camp of
German prisoners, who suffered Sc
verely from their bombs.

Similar dispatches today laid EN-
