STRANGERS BRUTALLY
BEAT AN AGED man
OF HkCEk!T0WN

HAGERSTOWN. Ind, Aug. 81
Obed Williams. so years old. OF this
city, was attacked and severely beat
en- Friday afternoon by four I'M
identified men, three of whom were
white and one colored.
Williams was driving his cattle
along the Dalton Pike near his home,
two miles north of Hagerstown. when
two machines drove into the midst of
the cattle and were forced to stop.
The cattle stampeded and Williams
said something to the men about driv-
ing into the cattle herd. The men
alghted from their machines and
took turns beating him. They entered
their machines and drove away.
Williams was dazed and was unable
to get the car numbers. Authorities
were notified soon after but no trace
of the men could be found Although
severely bruised, Williams is not con-
sidered seriously injured. 1t is be-
lieved that his assailants were under
the influence of liquor.

TANKS UPROOT WHOLE
FRENCH VILLAGE TO
STOP GERMAN GUNS

LONDON, Aug 30.-British tanks
uprooted a whole French village to
stop the fire of German machine guns
from the houses, in the recent allied
offensive.
The French troops had been serious
ly hampered by the German machine
guns in or on the tops of the houses.
Tanks were in the vicinity and a mes
sage was sent to them for assistance.
These complied. but the German ma
chine guns were too well protected to
be knocked out by the ire from the
tank guns. Accordingly the tank COM
manders conferred at the far end of
the village and decided in a hurried
impromptu war council to destroy the
village by sheer weight of metal.
The tanks accordingly rammed
house after house, bringing down the
machine guns, extricating themselves
from the ruins of one house, then pro-
ceeding to the next In this way the
village was captured without a single
British casualty, and at once occupied
by the French.
In another attack a tank was set on
fire, the officer in command was killed
and the first driver severely wounded,
all within German lines. The second
driver extinguished the fire, assumed
command, and later in the day, drove
back single handed, preceded by about
fifty Germans, whom he captured un-
aided
Another tank, temporarily knocked
out, constituted itself into a strong
point inside the German lines, and
held out for five hours until the in
fantry arrived.

A Good Chocolate Frosting One
heaping teaspoon cocoa, three table
spoons boiling water and a pinch of
salt. Stir the cocoa and water over
the fire until dissolved and thicken
with frosting sugar until the right
consistency to spread. This never
cracks. Flavor with vanilla. Frost
ing sugar moistened with water and
beaten to a cream makes a nice frost

Black Chocolate Layer Cake-Put
six teaspoonfuls cocoa flour will do

beaten yolks of two eggs, two cups SUI

one cup water, three cups -four, two
teaspoons baking powder. Flavor
with vanilla. Put together with boiled
icing. This makes two large layers
or three small ones.

Activities of Women

Report for the month of August by
Mrs. D. w. Scott, chairman, commit
tee on food production among women
for Wayne county
An attempt has been made to obtain
report of the number of acres in
gardens in the various townships OF
Wayne county, but returns from all
townships have not yet been received.
Jackson township reports 263 acres
in gardens, potatoes being the pre-
dominant crop. More sweet corn was
grown than usual and an abundance
of tomatoes. Everyone is canning,
and drying vegetables. Very little sor-
ghum is grown in this township.
Boston township reports 65 acres in
gardens, the predominant crop being
potatoes. There is only one acre of
sorghum.
About one-half of Wayne township
reports 335 acres in gardens. not in
Guiding Richmond nor the Eastern In
diana Hospital for the Insane.
Webster township had 100 acres in
gardens, As of which were sorghum.
Franklin township reports 81 IL
nant crop, with IL acres in sorghum.
"" uSulP iSpolto - 90
acres in gardens and 10 IL acres in
sorghum
New Garden township reports IS
acres in gardens, potatoes being the
predominant crop.
Green township reports 100 acres in
gardens, $50 acres in navy beans and
100 acres in sorghum, sweet corn be-
ing almost a failure on account of the
dry weather.
The total acreage reported from
eight townships is 1929 rs acres in
gardens and III acres in sorghum.
Seven townships have not yet been
heard from.
More vegetables will be stored, can
ned, and dried than ever before, The
acreage of sorghum has been greatly
increased by the women's work. Cen

THE MAGIC CHANGE

People often say, "Oh. If I were
only rich, how I would pour out the
money, Help the poor, educate the
talented: give everybody a coed time
lid, WOW! what a good time I'd
have myself" Especially if they are
young they talk that way. Then. az
ter they have made their fortune. you
are amazed and disappointed that no
stream generously flows from their
Golfers Money has changed them.
Having come gradually and with ever
increasing expenditures, wealth brings
no reaction of spending. The more
they have the more they want. The
more they earn the more they hoard.
The joy of leisurely living is gone.
The thrill of spending has died with
the dreams of youth. But with easy
money" 1t is different Sudden wealth
sometimes works magic change in a
man. 1t electrifies; intoxicates.
While John Ferrol's winnings In
'the market" were of smallness to
make an experienced Speculation laugh
they were big TO him, They lifted him
from the level of worried, expense
ridden husband to that of lightheart-
ed. ambitious man.

John Ferrol was dreaming his dreams.
He had his vanities like other men,
but his thoughts were not wholly

Dear Mrs Thompson l am
stenoprapher and l am working for
a young man who is married His
wife is going to visit her mother In
a week and he says he will be very
lonely. He has asked me to go auto

Don't you think it would be all right

It would not be right to go. II he

time when lis wife goes along.
Dear Mrs. Thompson-lf you are
going with a steady fellow although
not engaged, would it be proper to go
riding with an old acquaintance that
you had known for years?
Would you marry fellow that had
grown daughters at home? Do you
not think 1t would cause trouble in
his family affairs?
If there is sickness two doors from
you is it proper for you to sing and
play?
If my mother-in-law does not like
me because l am lively and always

you care? Would you want your hus-
band and baby to go there il you can
not go?
JOLLY AND DOUBTFUL
You are under no obligations to any
man to whom you are not engaged
nor is he under any to you. 1t would
be proper for you to go riding with an
old acquaintance providing he is the
right kind of a man. However, to be
fair in the matter you must put your
self in the place of the young man
with whom you are going and ask
yourself whether or not you would
care under the circumstances.

grown daughters at home. 1t is rare
indeed for step-mothers and grown
step-daughters to agree.
If the illness is serious it is not
proper for you to sing and play. You
should be more considerate.
If your mother-in-law objects only
to your gaiety know of nothing that
you can do. You know there is such
a thing as being bright and gay to
the point of unreasonableness. Be
sure you are not extreme. If she does
not object to your conduct l cannot
see of anything that you can do to
gain her affection. ! should always
be as charming to her as | could be.
Try to persuade your mother-in-law
to come to your house to see the baby.
