Paris, Aug. y Havas).-French troops have
crossed the Ailette river between Guny and Champs
to the north Of Coucy-Le-C Chateau, according to
the Heure, which adds that advices from the front
state that the French have reached the Disc canal
between Varennes and the Morlincourt, to the east
of Noyon.
Upon the Ailette front, the sudden attack of the
French caused the retreat of a division of German
reserves which had been preparing for a counter
blow. In its retreat, it precipitated d panic in the
ranks OF a second division of reserves which had
been intended to support the first division assault.
according to advices to newspapers here.
London, Aug. % "a p. m.)-The French army
under command of General Mangin in it's attack on
the Disc front today has reached the line of the Ali
cite river, according to reports reaching London
this afternoon.
The possession by the French of the whole line of
the Ailette according to London military experts,
means that Marshal Foch's design to drive big
wedges between General Won Boehm's army and
the forces of the German crown prince has been
successfully accomplished.
French troops, according to information received
in London today from the battle front along the
Disc river, are continuing to press back the Ger
mans. Several important German positions already
have been gained by the French.
The Germans are offering stubborn resistance
and heavy fighting is taking place and it is reported
to be favoring the French. General Manein's army
has taken numerous prisoners.

Failure to adopt successful foreign airplanes and motors, waste of
millions of dollars of aircraft appropriations, dominance of the air,

AND EVENING

Clarence Auckings, general agent of
the Great Eastern Hippodrome Shows,
was in town last week with his assist
ant arranging for the appearance
here of the shows, and has secured the
regular show grounds on which to
place this mammoth spread of water
proof canvas.
Great Eastern Shows have been
known as purveyors of clean moral
amusement for nearly a quarter of
a century and have this year outdone
their own former efforts in securing
the worlds best acrohats, aquilihrists;
jugglers, wire walkers, aerial artists
contortionists, clowns and trained ami
NAL wonders.
Great Eastern Shows will exhibit
here June 5; leave your troubles be-
hind and come and enjoy yourself.
One of the undisputed features with
the Great Eastern Hippodrome Shows
is Marinella, the Goth century marvel
Shadows only rival; presenting a
series of physical and muscular gym
nastic exhibitions on the flying ring
never before attempted by any per-
formers. The great Marinella was
first brought to this country and feat
ured by the Carl Hagenbeck Circus
in 1915; since then appearing at most
of the larger theaters in this coun-
try; see him and witness the per-
fection Of muscular development.
Great Eastern Hippodrome Shows
will exhibit at Oroville June 5. The
company this season is bigger, better
than ever and now travel in two big
Pullman cars. Watch for the free
exhibition on Main street show day.

A TOUGH OLD TIMER

Joe Ley, pioneer Of the north part
Of the county. who has been employed
at the Ivanhoe mine for long tima
was in town Saturday and Sunday
having DR.. Master fix him up a new
set OF teeth. Few men hold their age
better than Joe Ley, and considering
what he has gone through it is mar
Mr.. Ley probably had the narro vest
escape from death at one time Of any
man who now lives to tell the story,
a dozen or more years ago Mr.. Ley
was employed as blacksmith at the
Six Eegles mine, near Nighthawk His
shop was small! frame building prob
ably 10x12. One day a miner left
some 80 sticks Of giant powder near
the fire on the forge to thaw out.
J?c had occasion to step out cf the
Shor for ma ar;al and he thought he
beard wood swapping as though som,-
thing was or fire in the shop. AS he
stepped into ;be door the giant powde
exploded. When the miners rushed
10 the spot there was nothing left of
the building but a few toothp:aks,
with quite an excavation in the gronuJ
where the building formerly stood.
Joe was discovered some distance
from where the building formerly
vas, and everybody supposed he was
dead Upon investigation he was
found still alive, but very unpleas-
ant object to behold. He was like a
pin cushion stuck full of splinters
scraps of tin and other debris. The
late DR.. willard was summore from
Loomis and he spent abIul day
picking fragments out Of Mr. Ley

tough cid boy entirely recovered, an !

citing experience was a shrinking OF

DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE WELL
RUNS DRY!

Rain has occurred lately through
out the Northwest and the irrigated
districts will be greatly benefited by
this generous precipitation If the irri-
CATION of the land continues without
interruption as was contemplated be-
fore these copious showers.
The area depending upon the water
from the small streams where reser-
voir capacity is limited should take
lit as a warning that the rain has help
ed to melt the remaining snow from
the watersheds, thereby making it i'm
perative that the water users avail
themselves Of all the water in the
stream to the greatest extent of
ground storage possible. bitches
should be carried to their fullest cap
acity throughout this time of maxi
mum stream flow as weather condi-
tions indicate an extremely low mini
mum flow, during a longer period
than is usual, in the small streams
throughout the irrigated district.
Thorough cultivation and close at
tention must be given to all factors in
connection with irrigation farming
during the present season or an un-
usual shortage in crop will be the
result. MARVIN CHASE,

These Refugee garments are made
according to specifications and pat
terms issued by the American Red

ing with the refugees for the past
three years. These garments are
most practical and will be placed
where most needed by the very able
workers Of these organizations.
The specifications call for the
strongest and most durable materials
and the following is a list that will be
most acceptable:
Children's clothing of any kind in

Pieces of outing flannel, Daisy
cloth. flannelette, flannel, muslin, un-

SOMEWHAT ARID

Figures are going to be presented
right here relative to the unusual and
Extraordinary aridity that has pre-
vailed here since the new year came
into existence, figures that will sur
prise as we'll as disgust the popula-
tion. According to the record kept
by Ernest Riste .95 of an inch OF
moisture fell in January, which in
cludes snow, and the greatest amount
falling at any one period was.3 OF an
inch. For February go Of an inch
fell, with .35 as the greatest precipi-
tation at any one time. During March
"a total of 80 of an inch drenched the
earth, with Is as the high measure
1T one downppur.. For April Id Of an
inch of water fell, and what descend
ed at any one time was too infini-
tesimal to mention. Up to May 27 .16
of an inch of rain fell, and the greatest
an. cunt of fluid touching ground 1t
one time was .08 OF an inch. The total
rsin fall for the five months was 2.i2
inches, which is new record for dry
ness during the same period OF the
year for this part of the county. No
wonder that the hills look as parched
as in August, or that people are ap-

CUT OUT THAT WHEAT

P. M. Snider received last week the
following letter from r. T. Cordry
of Okanogan. chairman of church and
Sunday school division of United
States food administration for Okan-
ogan county:
Dear Sir:-Mr. Hoover asks the
churches and Sunday schools to
launch the next food conservation
drive beginning May 30th. Will you
please see that our church and Sun
day school have a committee appoint.
ed next Sunday and their names be
sent me about Monday,
In response to that appeal Sunday
evening Mr.. Snider appointed conf
mi,tee consisting of Mrs. +. S. Bealc,
Mrs. G. w. Smith, Mrs. U. y Smothers
and Mrs. Ray c, Matterson. These
ladies performed the duty for which
they were selected this week. and it
is understood met with cheerful
|acquiscence on the part of the peo-
pie of the town. AS the drive occur
red before this paper went to press
the appeal of Mr.. Hoover at this time
would be of no assistance to the
ladies In securing signatures. 1t was
an absolutely necessary demand upon
the part of the food conservation COM
mission or it would not have been
made. Winning the war depends as
largely upon food as upon gunpowder,
and we at home should not hesitate
to make every sacrifice, especially as
such sacrifice really works no hard
ship, when our boys are ready and
willing, and sad to say are, making
the supreme sacrifice at the front.
No man or woman having any love
of country at heart will fail in the
great hour of trial to do his or her
part.
