PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The great battle started July Is
on the wester front continues with
undated fury. Day by Day the allied
troops advance upon territory long
held by the enemy. The most remark
able feature of the long battle is that
the Hun wins upon no single sector.
Great numbers of prisoners and vast
quantities of supplies fall into the
hands of the victorious army every
day. On certain sectors enemy resis-
lance stiffens for a brief time and
again gives way before the force OF
superior arms. The Hindenburg line
has been broken and the strongest
positions of the Germans have been
taken. The Allies are yet long way
from Berlin, but distance is not so
much a factor as the weakening OF
the enemy's arms. All hope of victo-
~ has vanished from German minds
and now it is only play for terms of
peace. The superiority of allied arms
seems now firmly established, the fl
nal resule is removed from doubt, but
the end is not yet, and our people
must prepare for even greater sacri-
fees then they have already made.

DESERTER CAPTURED.

Pearlie Logsdon, son of Mr.. John
Logsdon, of Rosine. who deserted
from the army several months ago,
was arrested by Marshall Landlord,
of Rockport, Wednesday and taken
to Camp Taylor yesterday.
Young Logsdon, it is reported, had
announced that he would defy arrest,
and the Marshall approached him
with caution. Logsdon was working
with a railroad floating gang, and the
Marshall found him working on the
track near Rockport. On the way
up the Illinois Central yesterday
morning, it is reported, Logsdon
broke his hand cuffs, jumped from
the moving train and attempted to
escape. The train was stopped and
the boy captured, after a fight with
the officer. Logsdon comes of an ex-
cellent family, but is reported to be
self-willed and impatient of re-
straint.

II there are any criminals in Ohio

Jail was undergoing repairs. If they
will be patient only a little longer
they may enjoy the privilege of being
incarcerated in one of the most mod

The upper room has been completed
and the concrete base on the lower
floor is ready for installing the cells.
The steel work is daily expected, and
1t will require only little time to put
the Jail in order when the cells arrive.
The Fiscal court has ordered the
best of material and employed the
best workmanship, and repair ex-
pense to the county Bastile will be

WILL REGULATE ALL
BUILDING IN STATE

The War Industries Board at Wash
ington has asked the State Council OF
Defense to pass on all building con-
struction contemplated in Kentucky
during the mar. Under the proposed
plan, any person or firm desiring to
build will first make application for
a permit to the county council. The
county council will make an investi-
CATION and obtain all the facts, which
will be submitted to the state council.
If the state council approves the
building as planned, it will make its
recommendation to the War In
dustries Board, and this body will
have the final say. On the other hand
ii the state council disapproves the
application, the applicant will be no

ROAD TAX ELECTION.

The Fiscal court has ordered that
an election be held on the regular
election day in November, on the
question of levying county road tax,
of twenty cents on the one hundred
dollars worth of property. ADVERTISE
ment of the election will appear in
this paper later. Tell your neighbor
the road tax election is coming, and
give him time to think it over. What
ever action the people may decide to
take, the question is well worth a
careful consideration, Eventually
Ohio county will take a forward
movement in road building, and time
devoted to study of the question
will not be time lost.

YANK BIRDMEN
In DARING FEATS
Aviators Swoop Down On
Foe And Deal Out
Death.

American Headquarters in France,
Sept. 7.-Magnificient work of the
American aviators under most diff
cult weather conditions must not be
forgotten in telling the story of the
st. Mihiel victory. To them was en-
trusted every kind of mission which
falls to flying mans lot, but the
task in which they distinguished
themselves most perhaps, was harass-
ing the enemy's withdrawal from the
deepest part of the salient.
A careful study had been made of
the roads by which the German trans
port must move, and these observa-
tions turned out to be strikingly ac-
curate, showing that the Germans had
thought out quite as carefully as the
Americans the exact spot which would
remain open longest. This was the
gap between Vigneulles and Thiau-
court, with st. Benoit as the center.
1t thus happened that the American
airmen found the transport trains ex-
actly where they expected to find
them, and their attempts to enforce
delay were most daring.
Used Low Ceiling"
Owing to the weather conditions
the "ceiling"-to use the airmen's
technical term-was little more than
thousand feet high and the dense
rain occasionally made everything in
visible few yards away, but not one
of the select roads was left unattack-
ed. The aviators swooped down in
to the woodland roads, flying only
forty feet from the ground to make
sure of their targets. Lorry after
lorry was wrecked and wagon teams
torn to pieces by skillfully-dropped
bombs or machine gun fire.
Enemy aerial activity has shown
a decided slowing up in the past
twenty-four hours, partly because of
the aggressiveness of American fiiers
and partly because all the airdromes
behind the German lines have been
greatly damaged in the persistent
bombardment they have undergone.
Allied cooperation in bombing op-
erations has been a notable contri-
button to the success of the offensive.
French patrols yesterday engaged in
eleven combats, bringing down one
plane and four observation balloons.
The American pursuit group had six
combats, sending down three planes.
Reconnaissance machines took pho
tographs and directed artillery fire.
Bombing planes dropped more than
eleven tons of bombs on Longuyon,
Dommery and Barroncourt, and two
tons on Contains and Audun. OBJ
servers reported the damage at Con-
fans was especially heavy. All enemy
centers in this section have been SER
iously damaged in the past few days.

THE BIG STEER.

The largest steer in the world was
on private exhibition at the Kentucky
State Fair last week. II was a Hol-
stein and weighed 3,515, and was
six feet and one inch high. 1t was the
property of a stock farm near Cleve-
land, Ohio. 1t was five years old and
has beef value of S595, but for ex-
hibition purposes its owner has been
offered $4,000 for il. This steer is the
largest brute of its species ever
known in the world. II weighed 149
pounds when dropped. Its mother
weighed 400 pounds, Along with
the big steer was a calf three months
old that weighed only is pounds.

HOME COMING DAY.

A big homecoming day was OBJ
served at the Fordsville Baptist
church Sunday. Many former Fords-
vile citizens were guests of honor,
and great multitude of local people
was present. Roy Keown, who is an
epicure, reports the dinner, served on
the ground, the best ever, and Roy is
some judge of such matters. A pro-
tracted meeting began at the church
Sunday night, and is being conduct
ed by Rev. Wilmington, of Arkansas.

RED CROSS NOTES.

Practically every soldier and every
soldiers family is nov within the
reach of a helpful and sympathetic
Red Cross Home Service worker.
The welfare of soldiers families is
the subject of twenty cablegranms
and 100 letters to the national Red
Cross headquarters every day.
The Home Service branch of the
Red Cross activity now has $4,000
men and women serving Home Ser
vice committees.
The call for Red Cross nurses is
very great, and here lies the oppor-
tunity for women to display their
patriotism.
The Red Cross is doing mercy work
on a scale never dreamed of in the
world before, and stingy is the hand
that will not lend it helping lift.
If you have a boy in France help
the Red Cross, for it is helping him.

NO MONEY FOR TEACHERS.

So far the Stanley administration
has made no provision for paying the
teachers salary. lnterest-bearing
warrants were issued out of which 1t
was hoped the money could be
squeezed. but 1t was later discovered
that no date of payment was provided
for in the warrants and the plan
went awry. We are not advised just
what final arrangements will be made
to meet the difficulty Next year,
when the election for state officers
will be on, we guarantee the teachers
money will be ready for each monthly
payment and that the per capita will
be the largest in the states history.
Predictions are sometimes of doubt

HYDRA-HEADED CABBAGE.

Rev. w. H. Foreman brought to
this Office Tuesday the most remark
able freak in the cabbage kingdom,
that has been brought to our notice.
Instead of one head the stalk sup
ports 10 separate and perfectly de-
veloped heads, the whole weighing
about four pounds. The small heads
are as firm, solid and completely
formed as the normal cabbage head.
They are not a second growth, but
the first effort of the stalk to pro-
duce it's kind. The remarkable cab
bage was grown in the garden of
Mr.. Clarence Foreman, of Barretts
Ferry.

most urgent message sent by the
draft boards to the registrants is
