PrOwers county was the first in
the Tenth Federal Reserve District
in which very ditrict in the
county won an honor flag and it
is perhaps the only county in this
Federal district, including several
states, in which q bond has been
sold for every five persons of its
population. There may be other
counties which have equalled this
latter record but if SO they have not
made the fact known. This is
record of which every citizen OF
Prowers county may well be proud
and it is a record which is sure to
put the county in the fore rank
among the patriotic counties Oh
the United States.
The following statement received
this morning from the county head

WA1 MBWS SUMMARY
Since the last issue of the Chief
tain the positions of the opposing
armies on the western battle front
have not changed materially. There
have been numerous skirmishes and
frequent artillery duels but no Of
fAnsiye OF any magnitude. The Allies
have gained slightly in the region
southeast of Amiens and at one or
two other sections Of the fighting
line but they have attempted no
offensive on . large scale and seem
more intent on strengthening their
lines and STRENGTHENING their po-
sitions than on regaining the terri
tory lost. There are indications
that the Huns contemplate gigan-
tic offensive over : large portion of
the front and the Allies are await
ing confidently this promised at
tack. The strength they have
shown in meeting former attacks
and the severe punishment they
have administered to the Huns in
the previous campaigns is assuring
that they will be,able to meet any
threatened attack successfully.
The Austr0- GerI4an armies are ap-
parently preparing for a renewed
offensive against italy. The numer-
GUS rumors OF discontent in the
dual kingdom and the threatened
revolution which has been brought
about by the hardships of the war
would make II appear that the
Italian campaign Is planned part
", at least. to cement the Austro-
Hungarian fsctiSns. The armies
are massing in the italian front
and determine offensive is ex-
pected to be launched at any time.
The American troops have met
the Germans on numerous occa-
siOns during the past week and in
each instance have shown their al
ility to take care OF themselves.
General
President Wilson has ordered a
searching investigation into the al
legged airoplane scandal, as result
1bf the repeated charges on the floor
of Congress.
German official denials of the re-
ported peace efforts have been issu-
ed. German papers referring to the
dispatches as mere invention.
Socialist and labor classes in Aus
tria are reported on the verge of
revolution against the government.
Fire in the warehouse and pack
ing district of st. Louis on Tues
day resulted in loss variously es-
timated at from 100000 to $1,000. 900.
The conference committees of the
Hotlse and Senate in Congress have
agreed to compromise of the diff
ferences in the draft bill and the
report will be submitted to Con-
gress for ratification at once.
Monday was the hottest May in
the history of the weather bureau
in New York City. In mid-after-
noon the official thermometer re-
gistered "a, breaking by four de
grees the record established on May
6, 1896.
An apparent attempt at whole
sale delivery of the German prison
ers at Fort Mcpherson, Georgia was
foiled last Friday when the guards
discovered 50foot tunnel leading
from under one of the prisoners
barracks toward the double wire
fence which encloses the prison

Listen. My children. and you shall

OF the stirring time Of the Seniors,
dear,
On the seventh of May, in 1918
Not q blessed one had single date
Who sailed forth, q quarter of
eight.
They marched along in lines serene
And such display was never seen
For once the faculty forgot their
position
They really all have a good dispo-
siti0n
After seeing a very good show
There was still somewhere else to
To he Rexall Store we now re-
paired
And for once the walters almost
lispsired.
Some Of the orders ran like this
A Grizzly Bear and Lovers Bliss.
With much excitement and more
delight
Ruth and Prof. had fight
With q laugh and yell and merry
farewell
They all dispersed, but where we
can't tell!

 Desolation and horror It extends as far as one can see. For three years alas have lived in the midst of it. From one end to the other of the front watching it continually, your eyes grow sad and finally become almost insensble to it. But from time to time feels a sudden rising of indignation and just hate.

NEW RECORDS FOR TALKING MACHINE:

An American and an English ''popu- lar-patriotic' are coupled in one of the newest Columbia records. Arthur Fields sings both. One is When Yankee Doodle Learns to Parlez Vous Francais," most amusing as well as melodious ditty of the day. It deals with the Yankee lad who wants to pass the time of the day with the French lassies lover there" and has to learn the lingo in a hurry. In the other selection, Fields big baritone gives much animation to Take me Back to Dear Old Blighty." This is a British soldiers song of longing for the homeland, "BIighty" being the Tommy's odd term of endearment for his 1reside and loved ones. It is a jolly, devil-may-care song, typical of Tommy Atkins and his tempera- ment

This noted band recently paid an official visit to England, and while in London played several selections for Colum- bia. Two of these, which appear in the February group, are the military marches, ''Le Tout Paris and 'Le Reve Passe." Not only in brilliancy dash and verve, bu tin true musician ship, this trained and periodically in- spired unit of musicians excels.

 The Free machine is excellent and dependable. It sews smoothly and quietly and stands up we'll We are fortunate to have it in place of regular Reliance and New England machnes held up at the factory by the freight conditions.

Those who like to listen, on a, quiet Sunday evening, to the old familiar hymns our parents and grandparents sang, will enjoy a new record made by Henry Burr for Columbia.

One dollar sends a machine to your home.

On paying the first sum of one dollar, a member of the Rowland sewing-ma- chine club is entitled to choose machine and have it sent to her home.
 Form then, that machine will do splendid work and bring saving of both time and money-while it is be- ing paid for in small amounts at convenient in tervals.
 For the first time since a sewing-machine club was formed at the store, we must give warning that only a limited number of women can be admitted to membership. That is be- cause there is only a limit ed supply of machines; and practically no chance to secure any more for weeks or months.
