M'|N10SH COUNTY
HITS LINE HARD
Eleventh Hour Campaign Puts
Shire Across with $500 for
War Y Campaign

Mcintosh county, although it did
not get under way until Monday, in
an eleventh-hour campaign which clos
ed Wednesday raised $500 for the Y.
NJ. C. A. war fund. The county's quota
was raised $500. Difficulties in or.
ganizing the county for this work were
overcome when Secretary George n.
Keniston of the Commercial club
and F. f. Leuhe offered their services.
These two campaigners covered the
county thoroughly, by automobile,
speaking in every town in English
and German, and meeting with an ex.
cellent response.
This morning Secretary Remission
received adive from Wishek to the
effect that it has raised $500 to date,
or double it's quota. The good work
is going on, and by the end of the
week Mcintosh hopes to be well over
it's quota. Ward is another county
whose campaign did not begin until
Monday, a week late, and many be-
lated re ports are being received at
the state headquarters, indicating that
the total for the state, now Sl3o,ooo'
will 20 to $15O,0OO, or s25,0O0 over
North Dakota's apportiOnment.

The preliminary report of the secre.
tary of the commission, DR.. J. s. Nefl
OF Philadelphia, strongly indicates
that the high cost of milk is the main
factor In the mounting death rate OF
American babies. ...
Already the commission, which in.
cludes eight public health officers, scv.
e1 bacteriOlOgists, three chemists, aud
two United States agricultural experts
has found, in many cities, :hat be-

That. all reports to the contrary.
there is no general decrease Of the
milk supply in the United States.
In fact, the commission has found
that in many localities the handling
of the unusual SURPLUS of milk Is
embarrassing. This is particularly
true in Illinois, New York, Pennsyl'
vauia and Washington.
This surplus, or much of 1t, is due
to decreased consumption, there being
from to 40 per cent decrease in
many large cities, varying in accord
with local conditions.
The greatest decrease in the use
of milk has been noted in tenement
house and industrial sections-a de
crease which was found to be mos'
marked Immediately after the in
crease in price went into effect.
For example, one dealer in Chicago
whose records were investigated by
the commission, sold 1000 quarts Of
milk a day in September. On Octo
ber the price of milk was raised and
on October 8, his books showed he
had sold but $500 quarts that day
a decrease of 40 per cent.
While number Of large dealers
elsewhere were reporting similar re
suits, merchants noted an increased
demand for substitute foods for ba
bies. These substitutes, in many in
stances. to say nothing of the disas
trous effect of sudden change ir
feeding. are held responsible by manv
experts in infant hygiene for the di
gestive disturbances listel as the
cause of the increased deaths of ba
bies this fall.

Wednesday, Nov. 2l.--Tne present

western theatre, has taken on the sa-
yor of fighting in other wars when

Field Marshal Haig has clung to his

chance to use them and his judg-

suddenly sprung his surprise attack
in an unexpected quarter.
Strongest lines.
The Hindenburg lines on the Cam
brai front were the strongest the Ger
mans had laid out in the west. The
snemy considered them impregnable.
Not only were they strongly fortified
but they were protected by barbed
wire, which, It was thought, that
only a protracted bombardment by
great concentrated guns would cut
sufficiently to allow the infantry to
get through.
British tanks had never before been
called upon for such extensive work,
but they did in few hours what the
artillery would have required days to
accomplish The Hindenburg line
was pierced absolutely on a wide
front and to greater depth than
ever before.
