AMERICANS RESUME THE couN-
TER.ATTAcK.

The counter-nttack was resumed
after "a brief pause. This time the
American assault was conducted with
an almost unbelievable ferocity. The
Germans were caught up in the cy-
clonic rush and great numbers OF
them were hurled bodily into the
river.
Co operation OF the American ar
tillerymen and machine gunners was
perfect. The gunners. firing from
far In the rear, dropped shells on the
enemy's pontoons with the greatest
accuracy. When the Germ ans
reached the river bank they were
comeplled TO plunge in and many
OF them were drowned. Others were
caught In the rain Of shells and ma
chine gun bullets and the stream
was soon thickly dotted with shat
tered bodies.
In some places, the Germans clung
doggedly to the south bank. Ameri-
can officers sent back word late last
| night, however, that they expected 10
drive these back across before morn

complished, but this has not been

The battle wus one OF the most
remarkable OF the war. For ten hours

calibres continued, Everything within

FLOUR SALE ENDS
WITH BROKEN RULE
Failure to Sell Forty-Eisht Pounds Of
Substitute Brings Grief to Grocer.

The Farmers Cooperative Company
Of Coolidge, Kans.. was forbidden to
sell flour for fifteen days, by Paul
2ich. county administrator of Hamil-
ION County, because one of his clerks
aad failed to observe the fifty fifty
regulations.
Although the manager was not
shown to be to blame, it was thought
accessory to fix a penalty. because the
manager must be responsible for the
action of his clerks. The penalty was
confirmed by Walter p Innes, U. s.
Food Administrator for Kansas.
The clerk sold a ten pound sack
II corn meal with a forty-eight pound
sack of flour, whereas he should have
Iold forty-eight pounds of substitute.
The Holly Elevator Company of
Holly learned of the act and refused
20 sell any more flour to the Coolidge
concern because the elevator company
8 held responsible by the Food Ad-
ninistration for the acts of it's custom
ers. The county administrator was
:alled in. He approved the action OF
he Holly Elevator Company and then
offered penalty to the Coolidge store.
rhe manager accepted the penalty and
thus avoided having the case taken
before the enforcement division of the
Food Administration at Kansas City.
rhe Coolidge Cooperative Company is
anxious to observe the regulations and
,elt that failure to comply with the
Jules was more due to error than to
Nillful disObedience.

'hOARDER IS FINED
s SACKS Of FLOUR
Money Goes to Red cross-AI Kansas
Must Turn Back Excess Supplies
by May is.

The first conviction in Kansas on a
charge of boarding flour was that o:
Frank Keror, of Dunkirk, Crawford
wife and six children. The extreme
penalty for boarding flour is $1,000
fine and two years in prison.
Because Keror is a foreigner and
could not speak English he pleaded
that he did not know the rules In
consideration for his family a small
fine was affixed. He was required to
give up all the boarded flour except
enough to last his family thirty days.
Three hundred pounds of the flour was
sold April 10 and the money given
to the Red Cross.
Keror promised to walk straight IN
the future and to influence others of
his countrymen to be loyal to their
| adopted land. He is an Austrian.
Walter p. Innes, U. S. Food Admin
istrator for Kansas, has given until
May Is for all flour in excess of a
| thirty day supply to be returned for
redistribution. There is enough flour
already milled in Kansas to last until
after harvest if all excess stores are
| turned back 1t has been the custom
| in this county and in other parts of
| Kansas for farmers to lay in a years
| supply of flour in the fall. This is a
| thrifty habit and is commendable Only
| the dire need of France. Italy. Eng
land and our soldiers abroad make it

pounds of flour per month per per-

FARMERS RESPOND
TO CALL FOR WHEAT
All of 1917 Crop Must be Marketed BE
fore May to Prevent Danger
of Requisition.

Since the government asked the
farmers to sell all their wheat before
May 1 so as to relieve the great short
age for breadstuffs in France, England
and Italy, the Kansas agriculturalists
have responded with their characters
tic loyalty. Ia a few sections pro-Ger-
man farmers are holding their wheat.
in spite of the appeal However, that
will avail them nothing, because all
wheat that is not sold before May 1.
can be seized and plans are being
made by the U. 8. Food Administra-
ton for Kansas. to requisition any
wheat held by disloyal men.
In case farmers have a reason for
not making a sale they can appeal to
their county administrator and an ex-
tension of time will be granted by
Walter P. Innes, U. s. Food Admins
traitor for Kansas, If the county ad-
ministrator asks for such an extern
sion. The Administrator of this coun-
ty is the man to act here and pass on
cases. 1t is useless to write to Mr..
lines until the local man has been
seen.

UNExAMPLED INHUMANITY
ON PART OF OUR ENEMY

In Poland. according to the great
pianist Paderewski. who says he will
play the piano no more until Poland
is free. the German authorities sent
out word to the farmers on one occas-
sion that 800 little Polish children
we're starving in the city, and that
they could not be saved unless the
farmers would come and take them
home and feed them. Moved by this
appeal. the farmers responded. since
on a farm it is always possible to get
an extra egg or a little milk, etc. In
stead of being given the little children
the German officials fined the farmers
for boarding and took whatever they
could find. 1t is against that unex-
ampled ingenuity of fiendishness that
our country is fighting We are called
upon to meet an enemy that has lost
his soul and stops at no ruthlessness
that will serve his military purpose.

BUY TESTED SEED
BEFORE IT'S GONE
U. s. Department Of Agriculture Opens
office in Wichita for Sale
of Sorghums.

ANY man in this county who wants
government tested sorghum seeds,
should order at once from H. ". Vinall.
s15 East Second Street, Wichita, Kan.
who is the disbursing agent for Kan
sas, for the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.
The seed can be had by ordering
direct from Mr.. Vinall but it will be
cheaper to order through the county
council of defense Price lists have
been given to county food administra-
tors and to chairmen of the county
councils of defense in Kansas.
The seed sold by the government
has all been tested at Manhattan, and
the chances are it will give better sue
cess than untested seed.
Unless orders are placed soon there
Is danger that the farmers will not be
able to get what they need The gov
eminent sells only sorghums from the
Wichita office This includes five
kinds of kafirs. five of the canes and
Sudan grass.

WAR Emergency
CALL FOR WHEAT
Farmers Who do Not Sell Before May
I. Will Have to Pay for che
Cost Of Requisition.

The United States Food Administers
ton has issued an order for farmers
who will hold the 1917 crop to mar
ket it promptly. Following is the war
cali as issued by Walter P. Innes to
Kansas farmers:
1T is now necessary for sthe govern
ment to demand the immediate deliv-
cry of all wheat to the market
1T is estimated that Kansas farm
ers are holding about two and half
million bushels of wheat from the 1917
crop and some few scattered lots from
the 1916 harvest
ttAll wheat must be marketed before
May 1, Holders of wheat are hereby
requested to advise this office at once
if for any reason they will be unable
to market their wheat before the time
limit. Each case will be investigated
and If reasons are deemed sufficient
extra time will be given.
Failure to deliver or have permit
from this office before May 1. will be
considered sufficient reason by the
government to requisition any and all
wheat held by the farmer.
voluntary marketing of the wheat
is urged as patriotic duty. Produc-
ers will thus tighten the burdens of
government officials and very mater
tally help to win the war.
Where requisition is necessary
charges for transportation from the
farm to the elevator will be deducted
from the price of the wheat at the ele-
vator, and wide publicity will be given
to the seizure.
1--WE have a few instances where
farmers are boarding their wheat out
of desire to obstruct the government.
1t is not fair for them to prejudice
loyal members of our community
Our Kansas farmers. we know, will
respond promptly with their charac.
teristic loyalty.

WHEAT CROP
SHOWS GREAT REDUCTION

Estimated production of wheat in
Australia for the season 1918 is H.
02O, 900 bushels as compared with last
seasons actual yield of 1852. 565, 900.
This is a decrease of SO $500 bush
els, or 25 per cent, and is the result
of reduced acreage combined with I'M
favorable conditions.
The maximum price has been fixed
at 95 cents per bushel. Available ship.
ping has been too small to cope with
the supplies ready for shipment and
the new season has been entered upop
with stacks of old wheat on . hand
amounting to 100000 900 bushels.

GAMERS TO HAVE
PLENTY OF SUGAR
Everyone Asked to curtaii consump-
tion So Housewives Will Get Suf-
flcient For Preserving.

Every effort is being made by
Walter P. Innes, us. Food Admindstra-
tor for Kansas, to provide enough sug-
ar for the housewives during the can
aing season.
The world supply is still short and
will continue short as long as the war
lasts. Because the German supply is
no longer furnished to England, Italy
md France, those countries must come
to America and take a portion OF
Cuban sugar. However, the necessity
FOR canning food is SO great that plan
has been devised so that housewives
can get sugar in excess of the present
limitations by use of certificates.
Just now, town and city customers
can. buy only fifty cents worth of sugar
1T time. Country customers can buy
81 worth But when the canning sea
son is on a housewife will be permitted
to go to the grocer and sign certifi-
cate that she needs certain number
Of pounds for canning and preserving
purposes. The certificate blank is as

A NEW WAR SONG

Blow the good old bugles boys, we're
coming right along;
Make a great, big racket, for we're
many million strong,
Our watchword now is Victory, and
that won't take US long,
While we go marching through Ger
many.
Tell the world that we have got an
army tout of sight"
Men who want to meet the Boches,
and show them how to fight;
We can do it cause we know we're
fighting for the right.
While we go marching through Ger
many.
We don't have to stoop to kill the wo-
men or the kids,
Like the kultured kaiser and his kul-
tured army did;
All we ask is, Show US where the devil
now is hid,
And we'll go marching through
Germany.
Haul the fiendish kaiser out, we want
to make him dance;
Get a hickory paddle and then pound
him on his pants;
Fall in line and take your turn, for
all will get a chance.
While we go marching through Ger
many.
CHORUS
Eurrah. Hurrahi We're going to Ber-
lin;
Hurrah! HurrahI They've got to let
US in;
And What we'll do in that old town
will surely be a sin.

CHORUS
THE SOLDIER BOYS DEPARTURE


From that famous Kansas State,
Boarded the train at Funston Camp
Upon a certain, date.
The Captain gave the orders
Early in the day,
"Boys discard your suit cases,
They'll be only in the way"
AS they started on their journey
Far down the tracks they sped,
Then for their favorite dinner
Pork and beans were fed.
Onward east they travelled
Down to Kansas City grand
And they left the Union station
To the martial strains of the band.
Far into the state of Missouri
One bright lad gave a cheer!
Boys! st. Louis town is near.
Just as the day was breaking
All the girls rushed out their houses,
The soldier boys to see
And one kind hearted one did say:
"a Kansas boy for me-"
On through the city fast they went
Pulled by engine number eleven,
And as she scared the burg on high
They imagined they were nearing
heaven.
The tracks were somewhat slippery,
Still you could plainly see
AS the train rolled on the bridge
They were crossing the Mississippi
Those cheerful lads as they sped on
Through the state of Illinois
Were met by people from every town
With greetings for the Funston
boys"
The state of Indiana fair
They travelled in the night
Their Captain gave these orders
Keep the windows closed up tight :"
They awoke quite early in the morn
ing
And were surprised to hear,
That they were far along their way,
In the state of Ohio, dear.
As they entered Pennsylvania
With the forests of Maple trees
Up went the many windows
To receive the peoples cheers"
Then the whistles all resounded
From the mines and mills at once.
Kansas soldiers now are passing, -
They are on their way to France"
They're going to get the Kaiser"
To US they mean no HARM"
Then cheered! and cheeredI and cheer
ed again,
How could they feel forlorn.
An Irish soldier made this remark
To the foot hills of the mountains
In the early morning light
Is picture to be remembered
| When they passed far out of sight
Then the Porter shouted husky
Boys you must keep awake
For you know you are travelling
In the great New Jersey state
Soon a whistle loudly sounded
They were nearing to a station
And the Sergeant gave the infor.
nation
Boys, this is the end of your des.
tination.
They, then, were marched to Camr
Merit Hill,
The Government Reservation
The barricks there were built for then
From turret to foundation.
Here they'll rest little while
As happy as they can be.
For IN few short days they'll sal
for France,
; To help set the Nations free
