BRILLIANT WORK
AMERICAN
FORCES
MACHINE GUNNERS FIRST IN BAT
TIE HAND TO HAND FIGHT
ING

WITH THE AMERICA NARMY IN
FRANCE, June 5.---The American
troops, thrown into the present great
battle front northwest of Chateau
Thi'erry, in a brilliant attack drove
the Germans from Nuilly Wood in
which the enemy was attempting to
establish himself.
After occupying the village of Null
" la Poterit in severe fighting, despite
heavy machine gun fire the Americans
rushed forward and destroyed the en-
,my positions on the edee of the wood
and then engaged the Germans at
close quarters. They cleared them en-
t;rely from the positions, driving them
back upon the ruined village.
In sharp combat the Americans and
French, side by side, almost wiped
out the small German forces which
had reached the left bank of the
Marine near Jaulgonne. Most of the
enemy survivors were rounded up in
small groups and made prisoners,
The first Americans to enter the
battle zone were troops of a machine
gun battalion. They rode trucks all
Friday night and arrived at the new
position Saturday morning. One Amer
lean officer said: 1.-THE Germans are
learning that the Americans are as
resourceful as any. They don't like
the Americans, because they can dig
in with ore hand, fight with the other
and smile at the same time"

Much OF il was from the start in very
poor condition. owing to late frosts.
During the late winter there were
wide spread complaints that corn was

Our people have taken cheerfully
the burdens imposed on them by the
war. They understand that we must
all make sacrifices and the high price
OF food is paid without much com.
plant. But these prices are burden
on our war efficiency.
The farm is n nessential part Of the
battle front. The exemption boards
should be very cautious about taking
men for army service who are needed
in food raising. And we simply must
have sufficient transportation facili.

can be utilized before it spoils.

THE COST
OF FOOD

The latest United States govern
ment statistics show that the cost of
food as a whole increased 81 per cent
during the year ending last February.
a large part of that advance occurred
during the first three months OF the
period. The entrance of the United
States into the war made a new de-
mand for food, and tended to encour.
age spectators to hold out for high
prices.
This advancing tendency is not yet
stopped. During the last month of the
period, the prices went up another l
per cent. Potatoes are about the only
staple lower than a year ago. thanks
to the great back yard crop raised by
patriotic gardeners. Bread reached
its zenith in August when the aver
age price OF a 16 ounce loaf was up to
.09l. By February it was down to
.OS3.
II is disappointing that in spite of
the big corn crop on which we ex-
pectcd such satisfactory results, the
prices Of corn meal kept raising. Re
tail prices at Chicago went up during
the period named from Oh per pound

FACTORY
GARDENS

A few years ago comparatively Few
factory operatives planted gardens.
A good many foreign born mechanics
had them. being used TO cultiyating in
their native country. But our native
Americans had reached the easy con-
ciusion that it was too much work.
In foreign countries factory proprie-
tors plan for big garden as part
OF their enterprise. II doesn't cost
them a great deal. The men are bet
ter contented. less likely TO drift from
one place TO another. The gardens
add to their thrift, prosperity, we'll
being and usefulness as workers.
1t is common in England, where fac
tories are located in the middle of
towns. for the proprietors TO secure
large lots outside the towns. Ere
Quenuy the garden workers will be
transported out to the garden lot al
ter supper.
In one manufacturing town in Con
necticut where French-Canadians are
mostly employed. it is reported that
practically every factory employee
ran a garden last year. About 500
employees in that little village raised
$4,000 worth OF vegetables.
1t will be a far sighted policy for
corporations and individual manufac-
turers to cooperate with this move
ment Many of them are renting avail
able land and having it ploughed,
narrowed, and fertilized at their own
expense. If that is done. the great
majority OF the mechanics would
gladly do the rest. 1t is a big food
raising proposition. II every factory
in this country would have its garden
vegetable prices would be very reas.
enable. 1t would lead the farmers to
specialize more on the staples like
corn and wheat that can be shipped
abroad.
