Thursday, March 2S.-(By the AS
sociated Press. )-The great Ger
man effort appears to have ex-
saausted itsalf.--At- many places
along the front OF attacks the en-
envy is being driven back and at
others the French and British are
offering firm resistance. Infantry
fighting has begun to give place
to artillery battles, and in the next
few days the guns may be expect
ed to speak loudly. In this respect
the British and French have the
advantage inasmuch as the Ger
mans have been unable to drag
much artillery with them. They
are engaged in establishing them
selves in the positions to which
they have advanced but have not
had time thoroughly to organize
their defenses.
The main portion of today's
fighting was around the northern
sector of the battlefield where both
the French and the British had
successful day.
Attack In Masses.
British Army Headquarters in
France, March 29.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. .)-The Germans were
able to penetrate Marcelcave, IL
miles east Of Amiens, in the region
OF the Somme. only by means of
heavy massed attacks late yester-
day, which gradually forced the
British back.
1t was in this district, south of
the Somme, that the invaders con-
tinued to make their greatest ef-
forts. The British here are bat
tling stubbornly and brilliantly
against the advance.
The conflict in this region has
been most sanguinary and at latest
reports 1t was continuing along a
line represented roughly by Hamel,
Warfusee, Abancourt and Marcel
cave. This point seemed to mark
the extreme advance against the
British.

people of this city to participate in
what will be the greatest of all
Thanksgiving Days-a thanksgiving
for victory, and I would suggest that
at the churches and all gatherings, the
national airs and songs of victory be
sung. / would suggest that we have
community singing on that day.
God has indeed been good and
gracious and we have cause to re-
joice; new day shines about us, and
we take new courage and look for
ward with new hope to new and great
er duties and while we render thanks
for this victory let us not forget to
seek Divine guidance in the perform

For Circuit Judge

Judge Thos. c. Trimble of Lon oke, who is now rounding out his first term as Circuit Judge of this Judicial District, announces in this week $ issue of the Inde- pendent his candidacy for re- election at the primary in May. It is the universal democratic custom to re elect a public off cial to serve a second term, and there is nothing in Judge Trim ble's record which would cause a deviation from this custom. On the other hand, he has at all times since assuming his office at tue beginning of his present term promptly and faithfully dis. charged his duties with a natural judicial temperament and rare le gal ability which he has followed and practiced for period of over thirty years in an extensive prac- tice at Lonoke. Prior to Judge Trimble's entering upon the term which he is now serving. be had acquired a statewide repu- tation in his profession. His abil- ity has won for him the almost unanimous endorsement of the lawyers who have practiced in his court.
 Judge Trimble will be actively engaged in the performance of his duties on the bench practical ly the entire time between now and the primary election on May 28 next, and it will be practically an impossibility for him to per sonally interview the voters of the district before the election For this reason, he will be unable to make a personal canvass ot the district and the fact that Judge Trimble has decided tc devote his time to the perform ance of his duties of the office te which he has been elected, rath- CT than neglect them for the selfish purpose of making a per sonal and house toulouse canva $ of the district, should meet the approval and endorsement of the voters of the district.

Conserving Poultry Products

At this time, when food prod ucts are to play such an impor tant part In the winning of the war, it is the patriotic duty of everyone te become a producer of such products Poultry and egg products may not be used in the trenches very largely, but they will take the place of other products in the diet of those of us who are behind the trenches, thereby allowing bacon and such other products to go to the fight ing men.
 Increased poultry and egg pro- duction can be brought about more quickly than the produc- tion of other animal products. The city man can do his bit as we'll as his farmer cousin. The recent ruling of the food admin istration, prohibiting the sale for slaughter of hens and bullets during the mating season, will do much to increase our stock of both eggs and poultry.

You Can't Eat Your Cake and Have It But You Can Poach Your Egg and

Washington, D. c. Feb. D. Appreciation of this fact, the poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agricul ture say, will add 150, ,000,00 eggs to our food supply this year without reducing our supply of chicken meat. Investigators have found that because poultry brings ? cents pound more in winter than in late spring; many farmers in the South have been throwing away valuable egg pro i fits just to get 8 cents more per hen, They believe that if farm CTS will keep their laying hens and sell their eggs and then mar ket the birds in the late spring, they will not only add to the food supply, but actually increase their profits 50 cents per hen. w.
