HUNS cRUcIFY AMERICANS.
AS a Result Sammes Are Shooting
Germans Down Like Rats.

New York.-The crucifixion of two
American soldiers by the Germans is
one of the main reasons why the Amer
lean soldiers in France are fighting so
hard, Herbert L. Pratt, vice president
of the Standard Oil company, declared
upon his return to the United States
after organizing the Y. NJ. c. A. can
teens in France.
THAT'S the kind of an enemy our
boys are fighting and they are fight

clared. Like the Canadians, a num-

ALLIES STILL STAND
FIRM ON THE MARINE
HUNS HOPE TO CRUSH IN THE
SCISSORS SALIENT AND OPEN
UP WAY TO PARIS.
Every Attempt to Cross Marine Has
Been Frustrated by Allied Forces,
Germans Suffering Heavy Losses
in Each Attack Made.

LOndon.-The Germans in their new
offensive are hammering the allied line
apparently with the hope of crushing
in the scissors salient and opening up
the way to Paris by way of the Marine
and the Disc. They are reported to be
using well on toward three-quarters
of a million men in this effort.
Although the enemy occupies the
northern bank of the Marine for a
stretch of a dozen miles east from the
vicinity of Chateau Thierry, he seems
to have made no serious attempt to
force a crossing, the only efforts in
this direction that have been reported
being made in small force. These
were vigorously repulsed by the
French.
Ready to Resist.
The main trend of the enemy effort
is westward, and with this purpose
seemingly fully developed General
Foch is disposing his forces to resist
it. Already the French seem to be of
considerable strength in the path of
the crown princes drive west of the
Scissor road to Chateau Thierry.
The Germans at last reports had
succeeded in penetrating from two and
n half to nearly four miles at points
west of this road. They were stopped
for the time being at least at Chau
Dun, three miles from the road, which
the French first lost and then retook in
desperate fighting, and likewise before
Chouy and Neuilly st. Front, to the
south.
Huns Forced Back. .
But the strength of General Foch's
reserves has been felt by the German
crown prince in the 'battle for
Paris"
Just below scissors the crown
Princes troops were forced back on
and south line through that town. In
the engagements on this front several
hundred prisoners were taken by the
French and in the scissors fighting
the Germans suffered terri
fic punishment.

somewhat obscure, but the French APP
parently have a protecting line flung
northwest from the Marine at Char
teves, three and half miles northeast
of Chateau Thierry, and linking up
with their north and south line above
the latter town, which the Germans
are strongly threatening.
Rheims Still Safe.
Rheims, on the left of the German
advance, is still in allied hands, and
in general there is little apparent eff
fort on the part of the Germans to
enlarge their salient in this direction
except at its narrow edge.
On Sunday the French troops in

Mother DaySeruice

The Mothers Day services at the NJ
E. church brought together an audi
ence that taxed the capacity of the
church. It was also the occasion for
receiving forty-one into membership
en- adults. The following are excerpts
en- adults. The following are excerpts
from the sermon in the morning.
The subject was: "The Passing of
Mothers Portrait" The text "He
that chaseth away his mother, is a
son that causeth shame, and bring
eth reprOach" Prov. 1925.
Introduction.
Roswell Field has a striking little
story which he calls, The Passing of
Mothers Portrait At first, in GER
tain home, the old fashioned picture
Of mother is hung in a most conspic-
uous position, but gradually it passes,
because Of certain changing condi-
lions in the home, to a more subor-
dinate place, until at last it passes
to the attic.
"Now Mr.. Field saw certain cause
or certain causes, at work producing
this migration from the parlor to the
attic. 1t is these causes we wish to
observe this Mothers Day. For l
take it that these causes that rob us
of the pOrtraitures of our gOdly par
ents are manifestly evil. Before we
notice these causes let us notice
The PathOS of the Fact.
1T is a sad thing to be RELOCATED to
the attic. To be Invested of example
and influence. To not only be dis
missed to the attic or some secret
chamber but to he deSniSpd and moo
lected. To be called mother, then
"old lady and at last to be unmen-
toned is like passing from the gal
lazy OF the heavens to oblivion of the
deep seas; from the throne and queen
ly trappings to the beggarly and be-
grudged society Of the streets
I'VE are ever entering our protest
against forgetting and being forgot
ten. Every picture we hang on our
walls, every piece of statuary in our
halls and on our mantels; every biog-
raphy upon our book shelves: every
monument in our cemeteries is a pro-
test against the oblivion of forget
fulness.
How 1t Happened.
Nothing so pathetic happens in a
minute. 1t is the result of a long
process. Sin is accumulative. Our
first steps downward are likely to be-
gin in the paths we most naturally
and most frequently tread. The port
nature of your mother, her example
and influence, began it's journey into
exile so slowly that it's movement was
almost imperceptable. 1t was at first
the mere lack of the common court

SUGAR SUPPLY ASSURED
FOR SEASONS CANNING.

At a conference of the County Food
Administrators held at Madison on
May s and 9, the following rules have
been adopted for the purpose of hand
ling the sugar situation in the state
in order that the consumers may OBJ
tain the necessary supply of sugar
for home canning. Consumers in
purchasing the % lb. lots Of sugar
will be required to sign a certificate
pledging themselves that the same
will be used for canning purposes on
ly.
Certificates are not required for the
ordinary 5 and 10 lb. purchases for
the table and ordinary kitchen use.
This rule does not limit the season.
supply of sugar to % lbs. for each
family but it is the maximum amount
that can be purchased at any one time
for canning purposes. w
Consumers purchasing their sugar
from mail order houses will also be
required to sign the certificate which
will be returned by the mail order
house to the state sugar distributing
committee and in turn to the County
Food Administrator to check up the
amount and determine any irregu-
larities in the case of same.
Retailers are required to see that
every % ID. purchase of sugar for
canning purposes is accompanied by
the signed certificate to be turned ov-
er to the County Fed. Food Admir-. as
he may demand. Printed certificates
will be furnished by the state food
administrator on request of the re-
taller. Merchants not complying with
this request will be cut off from their
supply of sugar. The consumer know
ingly ignoring these rules or making
false statements as to the use of this
sugar will be dealt with accordingly.
Conservation in every way possible
must be practiced at this time SO that
our sugar supply for canning purpos-
es may hold out through the canning
season. Do not allow yourself to have
an accumulation of sugar on hand and
deprive someone else of having the
amount for canning pur-
pOsee.

Winter killing on rye is placed at

duction of 100000 bushels.
Winter killing also affected clover
and the hay crop is placed IL per cent
below last year. Other forage crops
planted this spring will do much to
help the situation. The estimated pro
duction is placed at present at 4,OOO,-
900 tons.
Pastures were backward during APP
