FOOD PRICES ARE
SLIGHTLY ADVANCED
BY FOOD DEALERS
Meeting of GrOcers' Price Fixing
Committee Held Yesterday With
Food Administration - Lard,
Meal and Bacon Slightly
Increased.

Another very important meeting of
the Grocers' price fixing committee of
Mason county met yesterday after
noon at the Chamber of Commerce
with members of the Mason County
Food Administration for a revision of
the present prices on certain food
stuffs.
The official announcement of the
changes in prices will likely be
made by the County Food Admin
istrator tomorrow and they will go
into effect at once following the an
nouncement.
1t is learned however that lard
corn and bacon will come in for slight
increases in prices while sugar and
-four, the most important commodl-
ties just at this time will remain at
about the same figure they are being
sold for at present.
1t was learned at yesterdays meet
ing that the food stuff situation in Ma
son county was very satisfactory at
the present but that the sugar short
age was being felt here and but for
the splendid cooperation of all deal
ers in the present shortage, Mason
county's sugar allotment would have
been exhausted some time ago.

U. S. GUNNERS
WIPE OUT entire
HUN BATTALION
Small Change In the Situation on the
Vesle Is Indicated BY the Meager
Reports Received.

With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front, August 6-Amer-
ican machine gunners, protecting a
location on the Vesle. west of Fismes,
wiped out an entire battalion of Ger
man infantrymen and machine gun
ners today. The Germans, at the time
were getting into position to attack a
group of American bridge builders
who were approaching the location.
The Germans have been unremit-
ting in their efforts to dislodge the
Americans, deluging the town with
shells of gas.
Numerous efforts have been made
to retake the position, but in every
instance, the accuracy of the Ameri-
can fire. both of the supporting ar
tillery and the small arms of the in
fantry, within it, drove the enemy
back
To the east and west of Fismes, the
Americans have continued their re-
connaissance work, patrols crossing
the river at different places. The de-
t~tachments, however, never exceeding
more than twenty men.
Near (town deleted) a few men
have remained and another force is on
the hill over the river near Fismes
Reports received from the French
sectors indicate virtually the same sit
uation from Soissons to Rheims.
Clearer weather has seen more aer-
ial activity for a few hours, but the
clouds reappeared and the rain again
began to fall and the air men were
forced to suspend operations.
The Germans Immediately seized
the opportunity of the few hours Of
good weather to send over planes for
Photographic purposes and incident
ally to shoot up the Allied transports.
These planes were quickly forced
back by anti-aircraft guns. Franco
American planes also did some obser-
walton work north of the Vesle. The
engineers have mobiliZed equipment
| FOR their part of the advance and re-
ports from far back of the line indl-
cate that all elements of the Allied
forces will be Immediately available.

eral Crowder, appearing today before
the Senate Military committee, eX-
planned that he had deemed it advis-
to substitute the words occupations

the section affecting industrial eXemp-

more liberal Interpretation of the law
and prevent the induction into the

morning. Senator Chamberlain said
it was the purpose of the committee
to investigate "the apparent change

freight from all steamers on the river.

master and will look after the interest
of his ferryboat Laurance. Captain
Phister will move his house boat
which he has been using as an office
to the ferry float and will handle the
grade and his ferry business from this
| office.
Up to the present time Captain
Greene has appointed no one in parti-
cular to look after his interests here
although he has men on the job man
ming the boat but in the near future
he will have a special person appoint
ed as master of his boat here and a

GENERAL INFORMATION ON
 DEHORNING DAIRY ANIMALS

Columbia, Mo-, Jan. 8.-Replying to inquiries regarding dehorning cattle the University of Missouri Agricul- ture department has issued the fol- lowing general information:
 There are two methods of dehorn- ing dairy animals. One of these which is widely practiced is to allow the horns to grow until the animal is fairly mature and then cut them off with special dehorning clippers. This method removes the horn but it is a painful and bloody operation. The other method is to prevent the horns from developing.
 "The calves should be treated when they are from 5 to 10 days old or when the horns are just beginning to show as small buttons and before they break through the skin. The hair should be clipped away from this part of the head with a pair of shears. As soon as the skin is thus made visible it should be broken with a sharp in- strument, directly over the center of the appearing horn. A deep cut should not be made. As soon as the skin is broken stick of caustic pot ash should be rubbed on the horn un- til the skin is removed over an area slightly less thar the size of a dime. One end should be wrapped with paper or cloth to protect the fingers. Rubbing should continue over the sur face until it begins to turn white. Too much rubbing may give bad results As soon as this is complete, it is we'll to grease around the treated area with vaseline.
 Ut is usually better to use the caus- tic in dry form rather than to use it wet because when too much moisture is present it may run down into the calf's eyes and cause injury.
 "The caustic should be kept in an air-tight bottle because in the pres ence of air it becomes wet and sticky and is difficult to handle. With a little experience, one can perform this operation in about five minutes and horns will never develop. In case it is not properly done, short spurs will develop. These may be clipped off after year or two with very little trouble or injury to the animal"
