Roundup interests
Point to Big Event

Interest in Roundup affairs Is as
suming a rousing pitch at present,
and indications point to one OF the
best celebrations yet presented In this
city. The management decided after
due deliberation that all pleasures
should not be dispensed with on ac-
count of war conditions, and for this
year the citizens of Ashland and
the valley will still continue the time
honored custom of celebrating the
national birthday in the good old
way.
Towards this end, the association,
of which A. c. Nininger is president,
at recent meeting elected j. e.
Thornton secretary and Lee Hall
treasurer. Other committees were:
Advertising, o. T. Bergner and l.. F.
Ferguson; soliciting, Charles Rob-
ertson, l.. +. Ferguson and Henry
Provost. The general celebration
will be managed by w. Hal McNair,
representing the Commercial club; F.
f. Whittle, the Business Mems asso-
citation, and j. E. Thornton, the
Roundup association. All the pre-
ilmlnary details of the association are
being worked out satisfactorily by
these officials.

bility to an unusual degree marked

Acorn Circle Will
Sell War Stamps

The subject of helping to save the
nations credit will be a special feat.
ure of the regular meeting of Acorn
Circle No. 54, Neighbors of Wood
craft, this week.
Our government is threatened with
demand for a higher rate of inter-
est on the next bond issue. A de-
mand is being made that the size of
the smallest bond issued be increased
from $50 to $500. That will put the
chance for the little fellow to loan
direct to the government that much
farther away. Fifty dollars is al
ready much too large to be met by
the weekly or monthly savings of the
average little fellow.
1t is different with the thrift and
savings war loan. In 1t the savings
of everybody can be used, whether
they are $50 or $500 or five cents.
Larger and larger and ever increas-
ing loans from the millions and mil
lions of the little fellows, until from
that source the government can get
the use of all the money 1t needs to
borrow, is the answer to the attack
on the credit of the government.
The Neighbors of Woodcraft have
enrolled and armed themselves to
take up this fight on behalf of the
credit of the government.
Mrs. Josephine D. Crocker, clerk
of Acorn Circle has war savings
stamps for sale, and anyone wishing
to invest is requested to call on her

Except for artillery firing and pa
trolling there is little new in Picardy
Every day the Americans become
stronger. Apparently they are better
entrenched than the Germans, who
are being continually harassed, day
and night. Despite the enemy's heavy
expenditure in gas, he obtained no
advantage in this sector.
The weather for several days has
prevented infantry activity.
One of the American patrols last
night encountered an enemy working
party. They shot the sentinel and
rushed the enemy but later retir-
ing owing to the enemy's superiority
in numbers.
A letter, freshly written, found on
the body of German killed by the
Americans in Picardy. discloses tha
effectiveness of the American fire.
The letter follows:
Here we lie! Lie in village
which has been completely demolish-
ed by artillery fire. The village Is
near Mondidier. We dare not show
ourselves. We live in the cellar. We
have to go and get our food at night.
The last night | went out with de-
tail which brought back food, we
got direct hit. A shell hit our par
ty, which killed some men and
wounded several, hope we will soon
be taken from the western army"
