WITH THE ITALIANS, June
20 (Nigh).-Fighting RACES in
cessantly along the whole Piave
lines, from Montello to the Adri-
attic, the Italians appearing to have
the advantage.
Italian cavalry used in open
fighting has continually made
spectacular charges, slaughtering
great numbers of enemy troops
and taking 20 prisoners, three
cannon and three machine guns in
one charge.
Five enemy divisions 100000 uen)
are now on the west side Of the river.
Most of these are north of San Dona
de Pieye where temporary bridges have
been swept away by the flooded river.
The Austrians have succeeded in throw
ing three new bridges across the river
where the current is less swift Enemy
divisions farther north are still in
great danger of capture or annihilation
through inability to obtain reinforce
ments or replenish their ammunition or
supplies.
Resumption of the Austrian drive
southwark from the mountains is ex-
pected hourly. This move which was
expected TO compel retirement of the
whole Piave line is believed to have
been advised by Hindenburg. 1t has
been anticipated by the Italian command
and it was here the Austrians sustain
ed the severe losses Sunday. Many di-
visions were compelled to retire.
The Austrians have been forced to
relieve every division used in the noun
tains in the first day of the drive.

saw his team standing in the road this

look at it, and found the mangled body
of Mr.. Hall. In some manner he had
fallen and been run over or kicked by
the team until his body was crushed
all out of shape. Mr.. Hall had long
been a prosperous and popular resi-
dent of the Pleasant Valley section

RECORD WAR MEETING
The Largest Crowd for Indoor Pa

Devil Knight at the
Auditorium.

The largest crowd that has yet
greeted any of the patriotic speakers
in Lamar turned out to the auditorium
last night to hear Chaplain knight of
the famous French blue Devils"
speak in the interest of the 4th Lib
erty Loan. Rev. Knight instead of be-
ing French is just plain Missourian,
and looks and talks more like a SOL
der than a speaker. He was not ora
torical. but had a very interesting
story to tell and told it in plain
simple language and told it well. His
stories of both the French and Ameri
can soldiers were deeply appreciated
by the audience, and all his address
went directly home to the crowd. He
dwelt particularly on the question of
the people over here being too OPTIC
mistic as a result of the recent allied
drive. He said the war is far from
over now, and the success of the 4th
Liberty Loan is just as necessary as
any battle.

BIG BEET CROP IN 1919
Prowers County Will Show Consid-
cradle Increase in Beet
Acreage.

The A. B. S. Co. is making prepara-
tons to largely increase their beet
acreage in Prowers county next year
on their three farms; and the farmers
of the county will many of them take
advantage Of the price of $40 per ton
and plant larger acreage than ever be-
fore. The only draw back to a big
increase in acreage is the question of
help which has reached very unsat-
isfactory stage. If the government
can assist in improving this part of
the proposition there will be an ample
supply of sugar next season.
The A. B. S. Co. now has three of
the most model farms to be found any
where. In all they comprise over ten
thousand acres of high class irrigated
land, aud in farming this acreage sew
eralr hundred men are employed. Each
farm is a small town in itself, the
headquarters being laid off in regular
blocks, the streets will graded and
shaded, fine hotels and school houses.
churches and other necessary public
institutions either have been or are

They are arranging to increase their
own acreage of beets by about so per
cent, and are preparing the ground in
most scientific and thorough manner.

DIDN'T GET TO GO
October Z Draft Held Up on Account
of the Spanish Influenza.

The ten young men of Prowers
county named last week in the draft
to go on October to Camp Kearny
will not get to go on schedule, as the
order has been suspended pending the
medical officers gaining control of the
epidemic of Spanish ''flu." which has
attacked so many of the camps. The
call will be held up at least temper
arily, and in the meantime every eff
fort of the medical men will be turn
ed on the scourge. 1t has attacked
about n dozen of the environments and
already the Spanish FLU has been re-
sponsible for the death of more Amer
lean soldiers than all the Spanish arm
les were able to kill in the Spanish
war. Several of the young men who
had expected to go were greatly dis
appointed and feared the bulletins be-
ing displayed meant it would end be-
fore they got there. There will be
lots of time for all of them yet.
