Huns Crowd British on Five Sides
London, April 29.-The battle for
Ypres entered into the critical. stage
Sunday afternoon when the German
army under General Sixt Won Arnim
was flung into a concentric drive
against the big pivot of Haig's left
from five directions. Hill No. GO, the
last barrier blocking the German nd
vance on the town from the southeast
has fallen, Berlin announced.
AT the same time the village of
Locre, six and one-half miles south
west of Ypres, was taken by Arnim's
left, according to the same German
war office statement.
The British commander-in-chief
foreshadowed attacks from other d.
rections by telling Of heavy German
artillery bombardment of the whole
Ypres position.
The allied retirement was indicated
by an earlier German war office state
ment to the effect that Won Arnim's
troops had reached the line of LANCE
marck, Berlirenhoek, Hooge and Zil-
lebeke. Langemarck lies four and
6ne-half miles northeast of Ypres, and
the other places two miles each from
town. Langelnarck had fallen to the
Germans after the British retirement
from Passchendaele ridge. The Ber-
lin statement also asserted that the
British had withdrawn over the Steen-
beck tributary of the Douve, directly
south of Ypres. The situation stood
favorably for the British at last .ac-
counts from Field Marshal Haig. The
British, he announced, had lost but
then recaptured the village of Voor.

MEMBERSHIPS
FOR RED CROSS
Campaign to Be Made In
tensive by Workers in
Stevens County

The national Red Cross campaign
for membership is scheduled for the
week of Dec. 1928. The fee for an
annual membership in this great
humanitarian and 100a American
organization is only 81, and every
man, woman and child in the United
States is eligible to membership. A
payment of 81 will purchase a mem
bership for the entire year of 1919.
Memberships may be purchased
and given as Christmas gifts, either
for persons here or overseas. Those
who already hold memberships are
being asked to forget the small sums
they may already have paid, and be-
come members again along with the
millions Of Americans who will take
out their 1919 memberships next
week. There will be no special eff
fort made to solicit memberships
from the younger children, but par
cnts in most cases will take pride
in seeing their children become mem
bers Of the Red Cross.

Heavy Winter Hoo Feedino.

Does 1t pay to feed hogs heavily all
winter IL they are intended for the
market instead OF for breeding? Some
interesting figures on this point will
be presented at the Illinois Swine
Breeders meeting by Prof. w. J. Car
michael. He gave the results of tests
extending over the last six years with
over 200 fall pigs fattened through
the winter and spring without pasture
AS an average for fifteen separate
lots there we're 433 pounds OF feed re-
quired for each 100 pounds gain, Of
which 35 pounds were tankage and
398 pounds corn with a little mid
dlings. The extremes varied from 4O7
to 400 pounds OF feed for 100 pounds
gain. Counting corn at 81 per bushel
tankage $50 per ton and middlings $40
the cheapest gains cost $7.95, and the
most expensive cost 1913 per hun
dred. The average was 1853. With
corn 81 25. tankage 800 and mid
dlings $50. the gains would cost 1873
per hundred. which still leaves a mar.
gin below the present price of hogs
Even II the inferior condition of
corn did not encourage feeding in
stead of shipping the grain. this price
combination apparently offers induce.
ment to make hogs heavy this sea-
son. even though weight is at dis.
count In the market with plenty ~
corn that needs feeding, II is an easy
matter to make a 260-pound hog on

sold at 225 pounds. That extra 35
pounds or fifteen per cent should he

the buyers any particular advantage

vived some since it has been possible

LIGHT Hogs Most Popular.

Packers are beginning to show a
noticeable favoritism for lightweight
swine averaging from IT'S pounds to
200 pounds. Since the packing sea
son started in full swing last fall the
lightweight hogs have been a little
behind in the race for honors at the
top of the price list. During the cold
weather fresh meat demand called for
a high percentage of heavy loins. but
now that spring is drawing nearer.
packers are accommodating larger
percentage of lightweight cuts This
is given as one reason for the breed
er demand for light hogs. but another
is that the percentage of this class of
swine is not as great as during the
past so days. Good light hogs are
now selling at Is and zoe above the

Traders in the grain market are
under the impression that big sup
ply is ready to move to market. A
great deal of grain has been held
back on account of bad weather. Now
that the railroads are able to get
cars extraordinary efforts are appar-
emily being made to rush the stuff to
market. The greatest concern with
farmers at present is to get rid of the
big surplus of soft corn which they are
unable to feed This product is in
such a condition that warm weather
will destroy much of it unless it is
rushed to some central point where
there are facilities for drying. De
mand for oats seems to be unusually
