The Herald has secured the ex-
elusive rights in this territory for
the publication of Sergeant Arthur
Guy Empey's famous book cover the
Top" Publication in installments OF
this intensely interesting narrative
will start in the near future. 1t is
acknowledged to be the most SEN
sationaI series yet written about the
present war. Sergeant Empey
served for two years at the front
until he was put out of commission
by German bullets. What he says Is
first-hand. He is not telling you
something that was told him, but his
narrative has to do with what he
took part in personally. The story
will be published in good long In
stallments, and we suggest that the
readers of The Herald will miss some
thing good if they fail to read every
installment of the story. 1t would
cost you dollar and half to buy
the book. A dollar and half will
pay for The Herald whole year.

death claimed one of the members OF
the Ehrhardt Woman's Home and
Foreign Missionary Society, Mrs. D.

willing and ever ready workers, there
fore be it resolved:
1. That though it comes as a
heavy loss to us, we humbly submit
to the will of our dear Heavenly
Father.
2. That we bear testimony to her
congenial spirit, her willingness to do
good, her Christian character and
cheerful disposition that always shone
out to encourage others.
3. That our sincere sympathy goes
out to the bereaved husband, the
motherless child and all relatives and
friends.
4. That a page in our minute
book be dedicated to her memory

The national food administration
has evolved a plan whereby farmer
NAV procure flour without the neces-
sity of purchasing corn meal or other
-four substitutes. Instead OF pur-
chasing meal, which he can easily
secure by carrying his own corn to
the mill, he will only have to secure
a certificate from his miller stating
that he has had so much corn ground
into meal. He may take this certl-
ficate to his grocer. and upon pre-
sentation is entitled to purchase an
equal weight of -four, not, however
in excess of half-barrel. This IS a
wise amendment to the food regula-
tions, as it would be quite silly 10
make a farmer, who has barn-o1
maybe several barns-flled with the
best corn in the world, buy that OF
which he has a plentiful supply.

Things have not gone so well after
all with the Germans in Russia. 1t
is lust about as we'll for the rest OF the
world that Russia does not happen
to have any real statesmen at the
present time in power; for if Trot-
zky, Lenine, ct al, had any d1plo-
matte sense they would have known
that Germany would not consent TO
any such arrangement as they pre-
sumed and started to carry out.
They said they would not sign peace
formally, but would just quit light
ing. But Germany says she snail
either absolutely make peace OF keep
on fighting. Well, here's hoping
that they keep right on JaWlng
about it. Russia is done for any
way, but if she keeps on hanging
fire it will give the Germans some
thing else than removing her armies
out of Russia to think about.

Abduction is Charged.

John Craven, a white man. was
arrested in Bamberg last week on
a. charge of abduction. The charge
was preferred by the authorities OF
Millen, Ga, who asked for the
arrest, which was made by Chief OF
Police w. G. kirkland. Craven was
lodged in the county jail, awaiting
the arrival of the Millen authorities
to carry him back to Georgia for
trial.
1t is stated that Craven is charged
with having deserted his wife and
children and the abduction of a
young girl. The authorities here
were told that Craven was thought to
be in Bamberg. The whereabouts
of the girl who is alleged to have
been abducted by Craven is not
known. The officers here have no
information as to the young woman
being in this city.

Mr.. Editor:
Will you kindly allow the writer a
little space in which to call the taxpay-

ganees and Irregularities that the school
board is or has been exercising of late.
At this particular time our people are
over burdened with numerous demands
tnat must be met without waste. The
writer will mention few of them. Only
a few years ago the board adopted the
agricultural idea and bought hoes, rakes
and shovels that were only used short
time. then dropped. The Mckinley
building was built at cost of between
$50 900 and $4,000. The building will
now stand idle. AS suggested just re-
Gently the dental clinic was adopted at
a cost of several hundred dollars (Which
now also stands idle). Recently guns
with one hundred rounds of ammuni
tion were bought for the High school
cadets (when wooden guns are good
enough for the Willamette University
boys and elsewhere) and at cost of
several hundred dollars,- ($13.50 each.
Aud that above five hundred dollars, for
which bids were not advertised for,
direct violation Of the law. The latest
addition to our school is the adopting of
the metal Trades proposition pro
posed by the Smith-Hughes act and sug

and the first bill for equipment Is es-

authority with power to act has been
placed in the hands of the purchasing
committee without advertising for bids,
which is in violation of the law. (The
law plainly states five hundred dollars

them chance to bid. All of the above

While pointing out that the drive
now heads toward Paris, the general
pointed out that capture of the channel
ports would have more immediate
and important effect on the whole war
situation than would the fall of Paris
Incidentally, he suggested that the
Germans had thus far failed to reach
the maximum boundary they attained
in 1914.
He thought he could not say at this
moment that the battle is to turn to
the channel ports.
Asked as to the Russian situation.
he replied that it was at present a
political matter.
The military situation on the western

The gas question, committee mem

problem faced by the allied armies
The German gains since March 2l
have all been made chiefly through

systematized their gas service so that
they now use various gases for differ

over which they wish to advance with
a gas which disappears quickly so it
will not affect their own soldiers.
They throw over another sort OF gas
on other sectors which they wish to
neutralise or put out of action. This
gas hangs over the territory for week
at time. Captured Germans carried
orders to stay out of certain sectors
because of this gas which is very dead

GRAIN PRICES STRONG.

Chicago, June 15,-Reports of hot
winds in the southwest and expected
difficulty in moving other grains when
wheat shipments begin, were leading
factors in bulge in futures on the
Chicago board of trade today. A belief
that corn receipts may be smaller than
had first been expected was another
cause of the upward movement. Higher
hog prices with the advance in grain
futures helbed provisions.
