ANOTHER FOOD
VIOLATOR CAUGHT

The St. Clair Rolling Mill at Fl. Re.
covery must close up for period of two
weeks, from August 19 to 81, as a result
of its proprietor, J. f. Heffner, viola.
ting the State food laws.
He has been caught brazenly selling
flour in quantities and without requiring
the signing of certificates and the taking
of substitute.
Heffner has been regarded as a pro-
German, and was among a number of
others that were marched up and down
the streets of Ft. Recovery and COM
PEELED to salute the flag some time since
for their alleged derogatory remarks of
the government.
1t is not particularly surprising that he
has been caught violating the food law
and the pity is that he has not been put
out of business instead of being given a
gentle slap on the wrist.

BEE STINGS KILL QUICKLY
Aged Man Suceumbs In Ten Minutes
After Being Wounded In
Wrists,

Philadelphia.-Ten minutes after he
had been stung on both wrists by bees,
Charge L. Hume, sixty-six years old, a
resident Of Santa Ana, Cal, died.
The bees stings acted as a violent
poison, physicians stated, probably
because of Hume's unusual physical
condition. Hume was stung by the
bees when he attempted to destroy a
hive close to his home.
Physicians, when told of the peculiar
case, stated that there was probable
ity that the poison injected by the
bees struck an artery and was imme-
diately conveyed to the heart, causing
death. 1t was also said that the bees
stings may have acted as violent poi
son because Of an unusual physical con-
ditlon.
The physicians said that so sudden
a death from bees stlngs was very
unusual.

INSPIRING AND
EDIFYING SERVICE

II was another step in the progress OF
the Church of God in Celina when, on
last Sunday afternoon, a crowd of be-
tween three and four hundred people
met at the church ground on the corner
of West Livingston street and Brandon
avenue and participated in the ceremo-
nies of the laying of the corner stone for
the new house of worship of the Church
of God. One half hour before the time
of the service the people began to arrive,
and regardless of the extreme heat the
crowd remained throughout the entire
service.
The service begun promptly at 2:30
with song led by Benny Weaver, of
Findlay, with Ralph Turner at the or
gan. 1t will be remembered by the
many people who attended the tent meet
,gs two years ago, that these young
men had charge of the music then. The
song was followed by scripture reading,
the pastor reading l. Peter, End chapter,
followed by prayer by Rev. F. H. Snave-
ly, followed by solo by Mr.. Weaver.
Rev. S. d. Harlan, pastor of the
Church of God at Ohio City, then gave
the address of the occasion, his theme
being, Christ, the Corner Stone" He
spoke with power and eloquence on the
necessity of a cornerstone in every
building, in every organization, in every
home, and Christ is that cornerstone.
Judge c. S. Younger then spoke in
behalf of the citizens of Celina, showing
that the great majority of the citizens
are in sympathy with the buildi9g of
another house of worship, the need of
house of worship on the west side of the
city, commencing the Ohio Eldership
for its purpose of providing place of
worship for its many communicates in
Celina and surrounding community, and
the loyalty of the organizations also the
earnest and faithful LEADERSHIP of the
pastor who began the work two years
ago. Rev. Horn, who was to have given
the address in behalf of the Ministerial
Association, was not present.
At the conclusion of the address the
pastor, assisted by Mr.. Kitchens, who
will have chargs of the brick work, layed
the stone in place, which wa followed
by prayer by Rev. Harlan and the b-ne-
diction by Rev. Snavely. Altogether it
was an inspiring and edifying service.

Since the capture of Montdidier the
French have penetrated eastward to
Tilloloy, distance of about seven
miles. and to Canny-sur-MatZ, more
than eight and a half miles. and
through the hilly region southwark to
the Disc have averaged gains exceed
ing six miles over front of IL miles.
Unofficial estimates bring the mum.
ber of prisoners taken by the allies
up to $4,000, including 1000 officers,
and the number of guns captured to
more than 500.
On the Vesle frontsthe Germans on
the northern side of the stream are
reported to be entrenching and
stringing barbed wires over the ter.
ritory where they are facing the
French and Americans.
Aug 13.-Americans and British
gained a foothold in the important
little town of Bray-sur-Somme, on the
northern bank of the Somme. The
French, in the rolling country imme-
diately north of the Oise river, have
captured Curry, position of great
strategic value. Hundreds of addi
tional Germans have been made pris-
oner, the total now being estimated
at 100000
Aug. 1.-THE French on the ex.
treme southern end Of the line won
additional points of great strategic
value in the hill and forest region be-
tween the Oise and the Matz, whers
Lassigny and Noyon are the ultimate
detectives. North of the Somme the
enemy delivered violent counter at

WEEKLY REVIEW OF WAR

The great allied offensive. launched
last week in Picardy on the heels Of
the Marne-Aisne drive, is still under
way.
Striking along a 20-mile front be-
tween Montdidier and Albert. French,
British and Americans forced back
the Germans all along the line, cap
turing thousands Of prisoners, guns
and vast quantities of war materials
Many town were taken, including
Montdidier, captured by the French
after a three days engagement.
Crushed by the impact of the allied
onslaught on the bate line from AL
bert, northeast of Amiens, TO the
Disc river, north of Compiegne, Ger
man forces are streaming back to-
ward the Somme river and the Nesle-
Noyon canal So far as can be deter
mined, the enemy is in full retreat
all along the front against which the
allies flung themselves on Thursday
morning.
Although the forward push Of the
allies has been slowed down some
what, they have made further impor-
tant progress north of the Somme,
where the Americans and British are
fighting together, to the northern
bank of the Oise river, where the
French troops are engaging the en-
emy. The Americans and British at
last accounts were pressing closely
upon Bray-sur-Somme, aided by tanks
and armored cars, which inflicted
heavy casualties on the enemy as he
endeavored to retard their progress.
Across the river the Germans heav
lily engaged the British at Lhons and
its vicinity, and at one point pierced
the British line and gained the out
skirts Of Lihons. A counter attack
however, entirely restored the British
line and the enemy retired to posi-
tions east and north Of the village.
By far the greater progress has
been made by the French from the
region Immediately southwest and
south Of Roye to the Oise river. Here
they have driven their line we'll
across the Roye-Compeigne road, and
at Cambronne have reached the road
leading from Compiegne to -Noyon.
