TO STIMULATE WEST.
ERN AGRICULTURE

At an informal meeting held at the
Hotel Colorado last Friday evening +.
II. Grubb of Carbondale explained to
number of our citizens the necessity for
greater efforts toward increased agri-
cultural production, to the end that the
great needs at this time and which are
sure to exist after the war is over may
be met to greater degree than al:
present without increasing the acreage
or the effort along the lines of hell
In nutshell Mr.. Grubb proposes to
stimulate increased food production
without increasing the planted acreage
and also to develop greater meat pro
dnction from "A certain number of ami
mails than now seems possible under Orr
present system and knowledge of breed
ing and feeding.
The plan is to bring the counties Of
western Colorado into closer touch
through this organization, by a system
of education and by holding an annual
fair or exhibit at which practical dem
onstrations will be given of what it is
possible to accomplish along these
lines.
The demands of the government on
account Of present war activities, for
all that the farmers can produce were
never so great as at the present time.
1t is in the hope that our people may
rise to their opportunities and meet
these demands that the Western Colo
rado Agricultural society was organized
last Friday evening with E. H. Grubb
as president, W. 8. Parkison as vice
president, and II. G. Overlook as sec.
retary.
The object will be to cooperate with
the agricultural agents and the farm
efs in general in the stimulation of the
greatest possible production of all agh-
cultural food products. It Is believed
that the packers and the purebred live
stock associations will encourage and
assist the new organization and help
to make It . powerful force for the
greater production Of the agricultural
products upon which the country 50
much depends. Other meetings will be
called at later date BY the chairman
and further details for the operation
Of the new society will then be worked
out.

GENERAL HA|G STRIKES HARD
and WINS BRILLIANT VICTORY

coming every obstacle along the line
everywhere.
An idea of the ground over which the
battle is proceeding may be gained by
recalling the operations since August
End eastward of Grivesnes, st. Afghan
and Mesnil Saint Georges when the
bridges over the Avre near Breaches
and Harigicourt were destroyed. On
August 4th the left bank of the Avre
was cleared and fighting proceeded
around Hargicourt and Sourtemanche.
The same night the allies reached the
whole railroad line and on August 9Th
and 7th further progress was made.

Aug. S.-The line between Albert and
Montdidier along which the allies at
tackled this morning is about twenty
five miles from end to end but the ex-
act limits of the infantry fighting are
not yet reported.
The British are advancing along the
Somme in the direction of Cerisy -Caillv,
on the south bank of the stream and
toward Marcelcave, on the Amiens-
Chaulnes railway. The French are
pressing in the direction of Aubercourt
and Demuin, further south between
Marcelcave and the Amiens- logon high
road. The fighting is raging in the
outskirts of Morizel sand Moreuil.

What effect the battle southeast Of
Amiens is to have on the Vesle-Aisne
front remains to be seen.
London, Aug. S.-Field Marshal
Haig's statement concerning the new
offensive by the British and French
troops shows that the enemy line has
been driven in about seven miles and n
half in the center at Plessier, which
lies southeast of Moreuil 1t shows that
goodly gains also have been made east
ward over the front of fifteen milea
lying between Plessier and Morlancourt.
The statement says that no estimate
can be made concerning the prisoners,
guns and material captured, but that
several thousand prisoners and many
guns have been taken.
The text of the statement follows:
"The operations commenced this
morning on the Amiene front by the
French first army under command of
General Debentry and the British fourth
army under Sir Henry Rawlinson are
proceeding successfully. The assembly
of allied troops was completed under
cover of night unnoticed by the enemy.
"At the hour of assault, French,
Canadian, Australian and English divi-
sions, assisted by large number of
British tanks, stormed the Germans on
front of over twenty miles from the
Avre river at Branches to the neighbor-
hood of Morlancourt. The enemy was
taken by surprise and at all points the
allied troops have made rapid progress.
"At an early hour our first object
ives had been reached on the whole Gf
the front attacked. During the morn
ing the advance of the allied infantry
continued, actively assisted by the
British cavalry, light tanks and motor
machine gun batteries.
1.-THE resistance of German divisions
in the line was overcome at certain
points after sharp fighting, and many
prisoners and number of guns were
captured by our troops.
1.-The French troops, attacking with
great gallantry, crossed the Avre river
and, despite the enemy's opposition,
carried hostile defenses.
"North of the Somme the great pat
of our final objectives were gained be-
fore noon, but in the neighborhood of
Chipilly and south of Lancourt Nor
lancourp parties of the enemy opposed
prolonged resistance.
"In both localities the fighting was
heavy, but ultimately our troops broke
down the opposition Of the German in
fantry and gained their objectives.
"South of the Somme the gallantry
of the allied infantry and the dash and
vigor of their attack had gained dur
ing the afternoon the final objectives
for the day on practically the whole
of the battle front.
"The general line reached by our
troops runs from Plessier. .Rosainvillers
to Beaucourt, to Caix, to Framerville,
to Chipilly and to the west Of Morlan-
court.
"No accurate estimate can BE- given
concerning the number of prisoners or
guns or the amount of material cap
tured, but it 10 known that several
thousand prisoners and many guns have
fallen into our hands.'

thority for the story, was standing a
few yards from Greko.
A moment after the car had rounded
the curve the officer jumped excitedly.
A tenth of second earlier Mr.. Greko
jumped slightly. They had heard, they
thought, the loud report of gunshOt
Just then the bullet left the wheels
of the street car The little chunk of
lead sped north towards Fifth avenue
1t went rapidly. Shortly before II
reached the middle of the block the
bullet changed its direction and few
towards the blue skies.
The bullet, however, fell somewhat
short OF its mark.
I've been shot," cried Mr.. Greko
a second after the bullet had made
that skyward turn.
Officer Larson, who had been run
ming excitedly towards the place from
whence the report came, stopped sud
denly.
Greko handed him bullet. 1t was
f1attened. He had just picked 1t from
his shoulder.

COAL REGULATION
TO Be CONTINUED
Mayor NJ. r. Carlson Says Mild
Weather Will Not Result in
AbOlishing Orders.

Notwithstanding the breath Of
spring in the air." there will be no
letting down of the regulations for
conservation of coal, according to /:
statement made today by Mayor Mar
tin r. Carlson, Moline. He said that
regardless of the cold weather, the
situation is not satisfactory and that
the present fuel shortage would prob
ably become more acute within the
next month.
There was more domestic coal IL
Moline yesterday than at any time this
winter. But there is less coal in tran
sit than for several days.
Figures for Rock Island are illus
trative of the situation. Rock Island
today has 1855 tons of domestic Goa
in the dealers yards. There are 1,75i
tons in transit Yesterday there were
$500 tons in transit.
Dealers coal orders are not being
filled, said Mayor Carlson. There art
perhaps $500 tons less coal day
coming to Moline than dealers order.
Il think it wise to be cautious sale
the mayor. THE fuel commission ap
preciates the splendid cooperation o
the people in abiding by all the ruic:
and regulations issued for Rock Is
land county. We had been in hope:
that the mild weather would have
helped materially to relieve the short
age.
But those hopes were not justified
There has not been enough relief t.
| warrant any changes in any orders is
sued by the commission"
The mayor attributed the shortage
which he said is statewide. to confis
cation by railroads and to the fac
that large quantities of Illinois Goa
are being shipped to other states. :"
am in favor of an embargo prohibi.
ing Illinois coal from being sent out o
the state" he said.

lar favor. The station at Ericsson

lished last November and 1906 quarts
and $500 pints were purchased up to
Jan. 80 from the Standard dairy and
1877 quarts and 1922 pints since that
date from the Campbell dairy, which
bought out the Standard. Out of
bottles handled, only three were lost.
From 80 quarts day the sale of milk
has jumped to so quarts, while at
the Irving and William Carr schools
the average daily sale is about thirty
quarts.
