sICERS REMAIN HERE
TO TRAIN NEXT IN,

The officers, who have been in charge
OF the work at the Fair Grounds. and
who will remain in this city to take
charge of the next increment which is
expected TO arrive within the next few
days, had become heartily attached to
their pupils and were unanimous in
their verdict that the detachment rep
resented one of the finest bodies of men
they had ever handled. In speaking OF
the high caliber of the men and the
splendid work they had done, one OF
the officers stated that they were diff
fcrent from the recruits encountered
They represented the true blue Amer
lean, with no sprinkling of other races
interminEled. and there was not a man
in the detachment that was not at least
n grammar school graduate. In fact
many were graduates OF high schools
and colleges of nationwide repute.
They were unstinted in their praise of
the reception they had received at the
hands OF the public and at the homes
OF individuals.
While the majority OF the men will
see Immediate service overseas, it was
stated last night that some of the men
had been assigned TO various encamp-
ments throughout the country to take
charge OF similar work at these places.
The men will be divided among differ
cnt units when the services OF skilled
men in these trades are needed to
bring these units to 100 per cent eff

HEALDTON PRODUCERS
HAVE CHANCE TO GET
HIGHER CRUDE PRICE

Healdton petroleum producers
are urged to give especial heed to
the resolutino passed at the con-
ference of producers and refiners in
Tulsa this week, giving them ten
days in which to show cause why a
higher price should be paid for
Healdton crude. The refiners will
also be given a chance to present
their side ~ the question at the
same time.
Healdton producers have never
received fair price for crude oil,
and now chance is being given
them to put their case properly be-
fore the authorities and get favor
able action. 1t has now been many
months since there was change i'll
the posted price, and during this
time the expense OF production has
been steadily increasing.
In view of the time lin. set IN
the Tulsa resolution it is imperative
that Healdton producers get to-
gether without delay and formulate
their brief for presentation to the
committee.

ing the German left flank with en-
velopment, while the Franco-Amer-
lean troops advancing from the
Marine are a menace to the Ger
man center.
The British success at Vrigny
threatens Fismes, another impor-
tant center, hence the desperation
of the Germans, who are attempts
inS to prevent the allied advance in
this direction. The German defense
of Scissors, the pivot of their po-
sition, is also beginning to become
formidable.
1t is estimated that there are
100000 Germans fighting within the
triangle. the sides of which are be-
ing squeezed by the allied forces.
Obstinate resistance and the rugged
nature of the country constitute
obstacles in the way of closing the
pincers at the narrow opening at
Rheims and Scissors, but the re-
lentless pressure of the allies is
gradually emptiyng the triangle of
the enemy masses.

SOLDIER BOYS AT
CAMP WANT LIST OF
THE CANDIDATES

c. NJ. Grant. district clerk, is in
receipt of a letter from Lieutenant
Sam Newman, i'll camp at San An
tonic, in which he writes that they
are in a state of expectancy, not
knowing what day they will leave
for France. He wrote thata some
ballots for the coming primary cleo
tion had reached the camp there for
the Carter county boys, that they
all knew Grant and Buck Garrett
and wanted to vote for them, but
they wanted the names of some of
the candidates for other offices.
From this it appears that the ballots
are sent TO soldiers in blank, with
Just the names of the officers print
ed on them and left blank for :he
soldiers to insert the name of the
candidate for whom they want -
vote.
