NEW MILK SUPPLY.

For some time the town has been
without regular milk delivery. That
is no single individual has supplied
the people of the place daily with
fresh milk. Residents have been COM
PEELED to depend upon neighbors own
ing cows for milk. Mrs. Stanton, who
is pioneer in the dairy business, was
compelled to discontinue her route
and could only supply certain large
orders. This situation has been a
great inconvenience to the public, and
il Is pleasure to be able to announce
that the long felt want of daily
milkman to make his regular calls is
to be supplied. Fl. j. Schwenne has
taken it upon himself to enter the
breach and start his route Monday.
Mr.. Schwenne has had much expert
ence in the dairy industry. He has. a
fine valley farm with an immense
barn, short distance south of town,
and is we'll prepared to supply the
demand for milk and cream. He has
a choice herd of cows, principally
Jerseys, and intends to enlarge the
herd Every sanitary precaution will
be taken handling milk and the pub
lie can depend upon receiving pure
quality of lacteal fluid delivered
promptly every day.

ONE OF THE BRAVES

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. ID. r.
Powell is happy one this week for
their soldier boy, Thos. Powell, is
home on short furlough Young
Powell is of the stuff that made the
American boys famous on the French
front, and he took part in the great
offensive at Chateau Thierry, where
the German horde was swept back
from the Marne, on the first stages Of
that retreat that brought victory to
the allies. There he was wounded in
the left thigh with a machine gun
bullet. He laid in a wheat field six
hours before assistance reached him.
After being treated for his wound in
the hospitals of Europe he was sent 10
America with other wounded and
landed in New York, October IL. From
there he was sent to San Francisco
where he has since been in the hospit-
al The lad is now well on the,-,Way
to recovery He enlisted after the
declaration of war and assigned
to Co. e, 161st Infantry, the old End
Washington. After arriving in France
with the 41st Division, last December,
he was transferred to Co X, 10Th
United States Infantry, and hence was
with the gallant band of regulars and
marines who added new luster to
American arms when Foch launched
his great offensive.

in this and adjacent districts it would
have been little short of miracle IL
some names had not been accidentally

tack" The difference Is that they have not advertised their plans to the world.
 President Wilson recently said that the climax of the war would come this year. That is the commonly accepted view, but there is nothing in the stars to indicate that peace actually will come this year-although, indeed, anything may happen. If the United States were fully prepared and in ac- tion the end of the war in 1918 would be within the range of probability but it is doubtful, that the draw which will break the Germans back will find it's way to France this year.
 Yet there is no reason why the al- lies should be unduly cast dQYn. Their maximum strength will be needed to win, but they will win. It will mean sacrifice for every Americae. but those sacrifices should be accompanied by confidence, not by depression.

And the same will be a Mick.

We'll change the song "The Wacht
 am Rhine"
 Into an Irish reel, And make the Dutchmen dance it If so inclined we feel. For the police force of Berlin
 Will be Micks from County Clare, When we put an Irish kaiser
 In the palace over there. Sure. in every German parkway,
 There'll be a sweet colleen, And the fields of waving sauerkraut We will plant with shamrocks
 green. No liverwurst or sausage when the Dutchman drinks his "suds"-- He'll get corn beef and cabbage And good old Irish spuds. The heather guns and gasbombs- We'll throw them all away And make them use shillalahs
 Or bricks of Irish clay. They'll sport no iron crosses,- Sure, 'tis shamrocks they will wear, When we put an Irish kaiser
 In the palace over there.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE
 WEST?

" Iris with our judgments as our watches,' said Alexander Pouer none go just alike yet each believes his own" And the truth of the obser- vation is emphasized frequently in discussions by arm chair experts of the probable developments of the war. The approach of spring marks the op- en season for the long distance strate- gists.
 The simple fact is that nobody not in the confidence of the high com mands of the two groups of nations locked in the death struggle knows anything definite about the plans for the spring campaign, and probably the great leaders themselves .are somewhat at sea, because much if not everything depends upon circum- stances which cannot be foreseen. Consequently one guess is as good as another.
 The common impression among ob- servers whose opinions are given weight because they are the best available is that the Germans will launch the much advertised offensive in the West Where it will be made nobody knows, but it is not likely to be confined to one particular sec tor at first. The Germans have most of their eastern forces in the West and probably can strike now as ad- vantageously as they will be able to do at any time in the future. Whether the blow will be confined mainly to the Belgian front or whether it wil be centered in Italy of per- haps in the Balkans is the veriest guesswork. The chancellor said last week that the neutrality of Switzer- land in any event would be respect ed, and if that is true the fear of an invasion of France through Switzer- lana from Italy in groundless.
 Just now one school of observers is inclining to the view that von Hin- denburg as a result of late develop ments in Russia will not launch his contemplated drive in the West this spring. It bases its opinion on the mo- tion that the kaiser, realizing the western line is impregnable. will con- tinue his defensive tactics in France and center his efforts on seizing Rus sian territory to be used for trading purposes when ultimately the world conference opens about the green ta- ble.
 If that view proves to be correct and 1t is by no means widespread- a new aspect is placed on the whole situation, particularly so far as the central empires are concerned.
 But the entente, in any event, can hardly be expected to dawdle away the summer waiting for the German hlow. In fact, 1t would not be at all surprising if the allies rather than their foes launched the big offensive. They are superior in men and their ~nmhers are being increased daily with fresh recruits from America. Be- G'des. they have an overwhelming su- reriority of guns and ammunition. In mite of the advantage the Germans have had in being able to draw the forces from Russia, they still are in- ferior in men and in materials in the West. In view of this fact it is reas- enable to believe that the allies have plans of their own for e grand at-
