COUNTY COUNCIL ACTS

The County Council of Defense has
issued an order which is published in
this weeks issue, setting a maximum
price for the threshing of grain and
providing a penalty for the violation.
This order is in line with the order
issued by the State Council, and is
issued by virtue Of the laws of the
state granting power to the county
council to regulate such matters. l.
is just as much a violation of the
law to pay a sun in excess of the
maximum fixed, as it is to collect it.
The prices adopted are generally uni.
form all owe the state, any difference
made being in counties where the
cost of operation is in excess of these
counties situated as Bookings.
Another thing has been called to the
attention Of the chairman of the coun-
ty council, and that is the allegation
that there are farmers who are offer
ing and paying more than the fixed
price of forty-fve cents per hour for
farm labor. Mr.. Dalthorp desires to
call the attention of every employer
of farm labor to the fact that this
maximum price must not be violated.
as if it is done it deprives the farmer
who is willing to pay the maximum
of the services of men when he needs
them. 1t is also just as much a vic.
lation to receive more than the max
imum pay, as it is to pay the same.
warned that these laws are made with
due authority and that their enforce
ment will be pushed if violations are
reported to the county council.

WAR SITUATION

The situation on the battle front is
altogether favorable to the Allied
forces. American troops have been
carrying on a great offensive, though
pushed back twice by special German
troops sent in against them. These
repulses have not been vital and did
attempt to close the pocket in which
the Germans had gotten has been
abandoned, as to do so would mean
the sacrifice of thousands of lives Of
French and American soldiers. This
is a means of combat that Foch avoids
at all reasonable cost. This consider
alton for his men and the saving Of
man power has been the prime rea-
son for the confidence Of the men of
all armies in his plans. The German
is being slowly and surely forced back,
and the Germans are contesting
in the German ranks is awful, as the
commanders throw them into the COM
bat without regard for life. The bril-
liant work of the American soldier
is praised by British, French and Ital-
ian officers, and the heads at home are
full of good words for what the boys
have done. The nation is reminded,
however, that this is not the big often
sive and that while we glory in the
boys as they have now fought, We
must not lose sight of the fact that
there are months Of hard fighting still
before us. Today's dispatches say that
both the Allies and the enemy have
slowed up their efforts. That no in
fantry advances have been reported
for a day and that the artillery is tn :
only work that is being kept up. Ger
mans are preparing for a greater re-
treat and the outlook at present Is
that the enemy will be pressed back
to a line even with or beyond the one
he occupied in the spring. We have
no reason tn be alarmed at the slow
ing up of the advance, AS Foch. is not
killing men for no good reason. All
military observers seem pleased With
the situation from an Allied stand
point, and the troops are never IN
tent to rest or wait after getting
started.
