GROCERS' ASSOCIATION WILL BE
CONTINUED

For some time interest in the Mays
vile Retail Grocers' Association has
been very low and there was some
discussion about dropping the organi-
zation. A very interesting and i'm
portant meeting of the organization
was held at the Chamber of Com
merce last evening when the merits
of the association were discussed.
Those members who have been active
in the work have received so much
help from the association that they
refused to let it drop but resolved to
give it more attention in the future
and make of it the live organization it
should be.

CRUCIAL PERIOD OF
THE WAR At HAND
WASHINGTON EXPERTS BELIEVE
HUNS INTEND TO MAKE STAND
IN NEW POSITIONS.
Germans Expected to Desperately
Strike Back, Now That They Have
Been Driven Back to Where
They Started From in March.

Washington.-With the German
army standing today substantially in
the positions it occupied before last
March 81, when its greatest offensive
was launched, 1t appears certain to Of
ficials here that the next few days will
see the plans of the opposing COM
manders revealed.
The statement in the official Ger
man communique that "our new lines"
had everywhere been occupied, is CIV
en- only one construction here. APP
parently it was intended to mean that
the retirement had come to an end and
that the Germans expected to stop the
allied advance along the old front. In
that event, it was said the light forces
of the French. British and American
armies will soon reach this defensive
position and subsequent operations
quickly show how Marshal Foch pro-
poses to assail the problem that
baffled the French. and British gem
eral staffs-the breaking of this adj
vanced line of defense set up by the
enemy on Belgian and French soil.
AiiicS teelin9 lneir way.
It was evident from the latest report
that the allied forces were still feeling
their way forward carefully through
the rear guard screens, of machine
gunners which still cover many por-
tons of the enemy's present fighting
front. Behind the screen the Ger
mans were believed to have reoccupicd
the old Hindenburg d,fenses. which
probably have been repaired and sup
plemented so that they are again a
formidable barrier.
There is a feeling among some Of
ficials that the enemy Is likely to Sig
nallze its intention to stand fast by
striking back hard at the advancing
French and British forces, or even by
an attack at some other point designed
TO relieve pressure rather than to
achieve any decisive result In the way
of capturing towns. 1t is argued that
IL the German high command has made
available sufficient reserve force by
the great withdrawal to permit such
operations, limited drive, possibly on
the front held by General Pershing's
army beyond yerdun, might we'll be
thought advisable.
Much Expected from Foch.
On the allied side Ii remains to be
seen whether Foch plans a flank
ing operation on wide front to turn
the enemy, put out his new lines, and
keeping him moving back. or will con-
tlnue to hit at weak spots all along
the front. Opinion here Is that the
larger enterprise is the most probable,
since virtually the entire American
army Is available as fresh. hard-hit-
ting force with which to deliver a
coup aimed at the breaking of the Ger
man front.
There Is no doubt thar many Officers
here regard the days Immediately
ahead as probably the crucial period
OF the whole battle of 1918.

Heavy Grease for Summer.

Many manufacturers recommend a
heavier grease for summer than for
winter in order to obtain the greatest,
efficiency. Hot weather softens up
grease and trouble often manifests
itself by grease seeping out of trans
mission or differential cases, as well
as from grease cups. When the
grease softens in this manner 1t in
variably makes little ring of grease
around each cup which collects dust
and gives the car an unkempt APP
pearance; there is also the POSSIBLE
ity of some of the dust working into
the bearings. Be sure to keep the
grease cups turned down and in that
way the dust is forced out. They
should be wiped off carefully. 1t
should be remembered that every bear
ing needs additional care in the hot
weather to keep the dust out and the
lubricant in, but the motorist who at
tends to these little "extras" will be
doubly repaid in expense saved and In
comfort and freedom from those an
moving stops on the road which so
often result In an unnecessary visit to
the nearest garage. The motor-wise
driver realizes frcm past experiences
that hot weather calls for added fore
thought and precaution.

Prevent Hot Air.

AS rule provision is made on the
hot air stoves for allowing some cold
air to enter, or to take cold air entire
ly. Where the carburetor is water
jacketed, it is usually supplied with
valve that may be closed to prevent
the flow Of hot water. Individual eX
pertinent will determine whether 1t is
advisable to cut out the heat entirely
on the carburetor since all are not
benefited by the change. If the fan
has been disconnected this of course
will be corrected. The engine natural
ly runs hotter in the summer time, the
water vaporizes faster and often boils
away, so it is always good Judgment
to inspect the radiator frequently, max
ing sure that the water is not running
low. Water in the storage battery
will evaporate twice as quickly in sum-
mer.

GLYNDON NAN Is
KILLED BY FIRE
EARLY CHRISTMAS

George Washington Gingery, rs,
was burned to death in q fire that
destroyed the Glyndon Telephone ex-
change early on Christmas morning.
Mr.. Gingery lived with the family
of his son, Charley Gingery, man
ager OF the exchange, who occupied
rooms in the second story of the
building.
After the fire was discovered about
2 o'clock Wednesday morning, all
members of the family were aroused
and the last seen of Mr.. Gingery was
near the foot Of the stairway leading
to the second floor 1t was thought
at the time that he had left the
building through the rear entrance
and he was not missed until after
the building had burned to the
ground. His badly burned body was
found in the ashes and from its To-
cation it is thought that instead of
leaving the building he started to re-
turn to his room after some OF dis
belongings.
On Monday, Mr.. Gingrey's 18th
birthday a celebration was held and
his friends and relatives. presented
him q purse containing consider
able sum Of money. 1t is possible
that he had started back to get this
purse when he was overcome by the
smoke as he assembled the stairway.
Coroner G.. G. Vincent of Moorhead,
after investigating the case, decided
that an inquest was unnecessary.
Mr.. Gtngery is survived by his
sons, Charley 'Gingery, @. r. Gingery,
a GIyndon township farmer. and two
other sons, Dwight and Elmer. Ar
arrangements for the funeral have not
been completed but the body will be
shipped by A. J.. Wright & Sons to
the old home in Iowa for burial.
