was INTRODUCED. She wore an army
hat, khaki skirt and coat shoes that
were made on the regular army last,
and puttees. Her appearance. manner
and speech all radiated patriotism and
her coming was an inspiration to the
workers of the Liberty Loan and the
public as we'll.
The first part of her address was
given TO patriotism and the individual s
duty to his county, state and country
at the present time. She spoke of
South Cardinals record in the past,
and especially of Pickens county, in re-
gard to the Liberty Loan, but the
greater part of her talk was given to
the organization of our county for the
coming drive.
Preparations are being made by the
various chairmen to carry out her in

From A. M. Simmons

The religious condition of the
churches of today is not what it should
be as SEE it. And why? First, most
of our churches need more strict dis
cipline for in many of them it is al
most unknown. If there is an institu-
ton that should be kept clean it is the
church Of Jesus Christ.
My reason for writing this article is
this: Several members of different
churches have asked about using my
name for pastor another year. and /
advised all who asked me this question
to drive slow along this line as / am
seeking no pastorate. If any church
wishes to use my name in that way /
would be glad to make this request:
First, want you to be united as much
as possible. Second, want you to
pray over this matter earnestly and
thoughtfully, for this is sacred ques-
tion calling a man to lead the people.
For Gods Word tells us that if the
blind lead the blind both will fall into
the ditch together, and for this reason
ask the people who want to use my
name to go long way toward it on
their knees with your eyes on Jesus,
and then l feel that you will make no
| mistake
Now I will give you my views:
First. believe all our churches should
have preaching twice month and our
pastors should do all their power to see
that our churches have year-rounc
prayer meeting and year-round Sun
day school, If our churches woulC
have preaching twice months say first
and third Sundays anu preaching the
first Saturday evening at S O'Clock
then the church should go into confer
ence and should call for the reading OF
the minutes Of the last meeting, ant
when adopted call for the peace ant
fellowship Of the church and SET
whe ther all was in shape for the trans
action of business in Gods house to
gether; this to take place once ever,
month and just preaching the thir'
Sunday and if it is possible the paste
ought to he there for Sunday schoo
and prayer meeting. | will give you m,
plans. Meet at 10 o'clock in song an
prayer service for 30 minutes and the
take up the Sunday school lesson an
let preaching commence at 1880 an
close when the Spirit said close. M
reason for connecting prayer meetin
and Sunday school together is that ou
prayer meetings dom t last but mont
or SO after August meeting is over
: and any church without good praye
meeting and good Sunday school is in
general way spiritually dead And if
is ever my privilege to serve churc

UTILIZE ALL LOAFING ACRES
Many Patches on Farm That Do Not
Produce Enough to Pay for Taxes,
Let Alone Fencing.

Nearly every year there are num-
Der OF acres on the farm that are
loafers that do not contribute enough
to the products of the farm TO pay for
taxes, let alone fencing. The first
thing to do with these is to drain
them.
Others are stony or gravelly por'
tions which do not and will not pro-
duce sufficient crops to pay for cult
walton; and the proper thing to DO
with these is to SOW them TO tame
grasses. cover them over with Darn-
yard manure, and let them stay In
grass. Sometimes a field has been
farmed so long that II has ceased to
be profitable, and the only thing to
do with this is 10 put II down in
tame grass and apply manure heavily.
There are frequently acres on the
farm that are out OF the way, that
could better be planted to timber Of
some kind suitable to the neighbor-
hood. Sometimes there are corners
in field cut off by stream, or so in
conveniently located that they cannot
be farmed to advantage. The time has
now come when we can put these in
timber

SHARE OUR SUGAR
WITH The ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations PermitpUse OF SweetenIna
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of tive
pounds a month per person is equita-
BILE when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order In England, France and Italy, ma
tons with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation-in the matter Of
sugar consumption-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
In the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as luxury, sugar
is now a war time essential. The fair
and just division of this essential is
in the hands Of the various Allied
food controllers
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
voluntary sugar ration of two
pounds per person month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one Of the scarce
articles on every meDu-whether In
the households of both rich and poor.
or In the hotels.
England today has sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is q pound and a
half and In Italy 1t is one pound a
month. And the prices In allied coun-
tries are from two TO three times as
high as In America.
If you 60 to hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with 1t. II you want sugar you must
bring 1t with you.
In England 1t Is allowable 10 use
one seventh of an ounce of sugar In
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
If they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
625,000 acres devoted to sugar produc-
ton. By 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres.
Today the French man or woman with a
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy 1t, one must first
find 1t.
Italy Has Estate Sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar In Italy. Its manu-
facture. distribution and sale are close
ly controlled, and In part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine is permitted TO be sold
and used as substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures mix
ture of saccharIne and sugar called
Estate Sugar" which Is largely used
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany. before the war, produced
a great surplus of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out of the export
business, but have plenty of cheap
sugar for home use.
Wholesale prices prevalent In the
Allied nations, according to Informal
ton received by the United States
/ Food Administration are as follows
England, 10 cents a pound; France
IL cents; Italy, 26 cents.
While these high prices are being
paid abroad the American wholesale
price is being held at IA cents.

News of Aduance Stirs Capital;
Great Euents Are Looked For

WASHINGTON, July 25. With
American. French and British forces
pressing the enemy hard on all sides
of the Aisne- Marne battlefront. the air
of Washington was electric tonight
with a feeling of expectancy, as of
great events impending. Runors Of
decisive victory ran through otficial
circles like wildfre. Untraceable re-
rorts were current hat the army of
the German Crown Prince had been
trapped and even that the Grown Prince
Emself had been captured.
Official reports gave no foundaticn
on which the feeling of suppressed ex-
citement could be based.
"The latest dispatches" said Secre-
tary Baker, "show continued advances
in several places ny American. Britt h
and French troops. They are not ex
itnsive. but are important and show
that the battle is continuing with great
vigor"
Earlier in the day press dispatch
told of rumors in London that the
British west of Rheims had scored q
decided success and advanced toward
Fismes. the German rail base midway
between scissors and Rheims. Later
reports confirmed this to the extent of
a strike forward by British and French
forces on three mile front just west
of Rheims, throwing the enemy back a
New-York tribune., 1918-07-26

mile and a half. Probably it was this
which started wild reports of sweep
ing victory
Still later came news of decided gains
by FrancoAmerican troops around
Tere den Tardenois and north of Dor
mans, on the Marne. 1t was evident
that the southern and southwestern
angle of the German positions were
yielding to the pressure against them.
News came also of important advances
along the Ourcq front.
Secretary Baker has so far received
no word of the American losses in the
present fighting. There is no doubt
that he construes General Pershing' s
silence on this point as meaning that
the cost has not been greater than the
numbers engaged or the effort made
would justify.
Mr.. Bakers attention was called to
the German dispatch referring to the
American troops as further cannon
fodder" put into action by the French.
''The best information we have" he
said, "seems to indicate that they (the
Germans) are themselves supplying
most of that material at the present
time
owe have no reports on our own
casualties as yet. but our people have
n much better opportunity to know oul
losses than the Germans have, because
VIC are taking the ground they have
been giving up, and in that situation
we have a superior opportunity for OBJ
servation."
New-York tribune., 1918-07-26

no disposition to underestimate the
danger of the staggering German
armies striking another terrible blow
on either flank.
1T is obvious to all except enthus-
astlc optimists that the hard fighting
German armies are not too badly
crippled to attempt retaliation once
they arfe In positions chosen by the
Grown Prince or the Crown Princes
staff
What lines the Germans will select
but it is believed the logical place
viii be that long plateau southeast of
Solssons running toward the Ardre
River and to the junction Of the present
lire from Rheims. If the Ardre is not
chosen the Crown Prince has the choice
of the Valley of the Neslc, or even the
old line along the Aisne.
1t is believed more probable that the
Grown Prince will choose the Vesle re-
glon, where the forests and hills west
of Rheims, toward Soissons, would
make him relatively safe for the mo-
ment. That he intends abandoning the
territory at the bottom of the pocket
that rested on the Marne is evident. 1t
is equally evident that he has been
forced to such course by the reduc-
tion of his Lumber of lines of supply.
1t is estimated that the Germans had
mobiized here between half a million
and 100000 men. To maintain a sup
ply for these men, even with all trans
port resources, was no simple task, and
the working out of General Foch's plans
has made the positions untenable
Military students discredit somewhat
the probability of an early counter by
the Germans on a big scale. especially
on the scissors flank. They point out
that the Germans seldom plan hurried
ly, desiring time to deliberate as to
their movements. These students say
it is more probable the Germans will
be content with hattening out and re-
adjusting and restrengthenng their
line in new position.
There is reason to believe that the
personnel of the Crown Princes or
ganzation has not been materially
altered, although it is presumed there
must have been heavy requirements in
it, made necessary by the terrible
losses sustained.
In the north Generals Won Eben and
Walter are responsible for the opera
tlons on the front of the Soissons flank
The remainder of the sector is being
cared for by General Won Boehm, his
sub commanders including Won Winck-
ler,. Won Schoeler, Won Kothen, Won
Vichurd and Won Schlehow General

with bombs in the last few days, as
we'll as many other smaller road
functions. They have patrolled the
entire salient since the battle began,
fighting everything in the way of
enemy airplanes that put in an ap-
pearance, bombing conveys of troops
and material and using their ma
chine guns even on small enemy
groups.
Two days ago the Franco Ameri-
can groups, which were found at
rest to-day, received an order to turn
their machine guns on troops on a
certain road. A scout aeroplane had
reported Boche infantry holding a
line at the roadside. Fifteen min
utes after the order was received
several Franco-American pilots in
fast little Spads drew near the vicin-
ity.
They spotted the troops from
high altitude and dove toward them.
The leading machine approached to
within 200 yards of the road and
shot into the air again. circling and
simultaneously signalling Don't" to
the companion planes which had
been following it. The troops who
had been Boches half an hour be-
fore along this road were now
Americans who had driven the en-
emy back and were crossing the road
in open order when the aviators ar
rived.
One of the pilots engaged in the
same enterprise, who was patrolling
alone early Saturday morning, dis
covered columns of the enemy re-
treating across the Marne over two
bridges near Dormans. He circled
back and forth over the man-laden
structures for ten minutes, some
times as low as 200 feet, firing into
the columns actually on and ap-
preaching the bridges. With his
ammunition exhausted, he winged
home for more, and the German
casualties inflicted by this pilot
alone numbered, presumably, hun
dreds. because he had target that
he could not miss.

mans have received orders to resist
the Allied advance at all costs.
So heavy was the artillery re on
the main battlefront last ngft that
Paris again could hear the boom of the
cannon.
The roar came from the region of
Dormans, on the Marine, and sixty-fve
miles from Paris, where the enemy
was making desperate attempt to en-
large the area in the salient he is
occupying and from which "a steady
pressure of the Allies is driving him,
Military observers here are convinced
that General Ludendortf shortly will
launch a counter offensive. His OBJ
jects will be, first, to clear the front
between scissors and Rheims; second,
TO lessen the demoralizing effect of a
projected retreat to the Nesle, and
third to have Germany regain the
initiative
Consequently it is to his interest
to prolong the present battle as long
as possible, even at the expense of his
treasured reserves, SC as to keep the
French occupied and give him time to
prepare another blow.
