Women's War Work

The wheels of progress at the
led Cross building were halted for
a short time Saturday morning be-
cause Of a lot Of scrapbooks and
various other lovely little things
we're brought in, the work or the
school children of the lower grades,
and they were all so very attractive
that everyone that passed the table
in the receiving room had to stop
and look at them.
The books were made Of good
stiff paper and were filed with
brightly colored pictures. bits of
verse and jokes. All of the papers
were neatly and perfectly arranged
Tiny little needle books and paper
drinking cups and little calendars
all made with the national colors,
we're in the collection also. There
were writing boards and thread
winders, too. The work that was
turned in Saturday morning is only
a very small part of the quantities
that have been turned in all winter
long and it is certainly a splendid
credit TO the little folk of the Junior
auxiliary.
The schedule for the city demon
strator is as follows: Monday af-
ternoon. Elder school; Tuesday af-
ternoon, Muessel school; Wednes-
day, Haley school; Thursday after
noon. Impromptu club; Friday af-
ternoOn. River Park school. This
week Miss Ogle's work will deal par
ticularly with potatoes as substitute.
Miss Ogle urges housewives to write
to the L. S. department of agri-
culture for circular No. los. This
circular IS on potatoes and contains
many disable recipes and sugges-
tons concerning them.
Miss Beali. from Purdue lniver-
sity. will work throughout St. Jo-
sCph county next week. On Thurs
day, April IS, she will be at the

THIS DRUGGIST
 WAS HONEST

Some time ago I went into the drug store of Gerke Drug Co.,, Evansville, Ind, and the following conversation took place between Mir. Gerke and n.y. self: Theodore. how does it come that you sell so much more Number 40 For The Blood than these other druggists around here?" Mir. Gerke answered: "A year or so ago my wife came into the store and said she was going to take a blood medicine. She looked over the kinds had on the shelf and I reckon you put up the best spiel as she took a bottle of
 Number 40.' After taking 1t awhile she gave it to our boy and one day I was complaining of that tired feeling and she said: Here. will dose you on Number 4O,' and she did and it did me so much good I have been recom- mending it to my customers since and buy in gross lots. ."-J. c.

into Bulgaria through the mountains,
 Not so spectacular, but of vital importance, have been the operations Of the French and British from the south of St. Quentin to Cambrai. Both the French, General Debeney and Field Marshal Haig have won highly essential ground in the maneuvers which have as their objectives the ob- liberation of the Hindenburg line, the capture of St. Quentin and the turn ing of the German line at Laon. South of St. Quentin the French have ad- vanced their line to the west bank of the Disc canal over a front of three miles and now completely outflank St Quentin on the south and La Fere on the north.
 Meanwhile, Field Marshal Haig, north of St. Quentin around the village of Ephy has taken strong positions from the enemy.
 In eastern Siberia the Japanese have captured Blagoviestchensk, capi- tai of the province of Amur and also the town of Alexievsk, two thousand Austro-German troops surrendering.

FRENCH OFFICIAL

PARIS, Sept 2S.-Frencn forces fighting along the line south of St. Quentin have reached the Disc river between Vendeuil and Travecy, accord ing to the official statement issued at the war office tonight.
 The Germans had evacuated Ven deuil under menace of being cornered there with their backs to the river by the French advancing toward the river in the region of Ly Fontaine. The French about the same time reacbed the quarries just north of Travecy, which completed the conquest of the west bank of the Disc in that region.
 Together with the formidable de- lenses erected by the Germans around St. Quentin, General Debeney's forces have reached the low marshy coun- try of the valley of the Disc, which presents enormous difficulties to any troops that might attempt a crossing north of La Fere.
 South of St. Quentin our troops have reached the Disc between Ven deuil and Travecy. There is nothing to report from the rest of the front.
 Eastern theater, September 21 - l ue SUCCESS dCHltNeu Dy Iue dllleS III Macedonia is taking the character of a great victory. The French and Ser bian armies are making rapid pro gress in the center toward the middle Vardar valley and are advancing on the whole front of 150 kilometers be- tween Monastir and Lake Doiran. The enemy is in retreat and is being pur- sued vigorously.
 Enemy rear guards are being re- lentlessly pursued. Upon the roads in the region of Monastir, Kichevo and Prilep enemy columns are retreat ing in disorder and are being lombard ed without respite by allied aviators Villages and depots are in flames Prisoners, cannon and enormous quan- titles of material which it is impos- sible to estimate has fallen into our hands. In many places demoralized Bulgarian units have thrown down their arms. Our progress continues over the whole front of attack"

GOTHAM JEWS 10 CELEBRATE BIG
 ALLIED VICTORY
Will Hold Meeting in Carnegie Hall to Celebrate Liberation of Greater Part of Jewish Palestine

NEW YORK. sept. 23.-The libera- ton of Palestine by the British forces will be celebrated here by a demon stration at Carnegie hall next Sunday night, in which Secretary of the Navy Daniels is expected to speak, it was announced today by the Zionist coun- CiI of Greater New York.
 Significance is added to the cele- bration by the fact that the Jewish legion, probably including the Ameri- can contingent, is actively participat- ing in the Palestine drive, which so far has liberated all of Samaria and parts of Lower Galilee. The capture of Efar-Saba has brought relief to B. 900 starving Jewish refugees, who lied before the advancing Turks to that place, it is stated.
 British gains of fifteen miles fur ther north will result in the liberation of all the Jewish colonies in Palestine.

While he was out Wilson, who had made plans for the escape, had fastened two broom handles to- gether and made a hook of wire reach ed out and pulled the drawer cut of the desk and got hold of the gun by pull ing it to him. As Holland came in the door Wilson called him to come up to the bars that he wanted to show him something, as he stepped up to the bars, Wilson covered him with the gun and made him keep still at the same time handing him the end of blanket rope that he had made which had a lcop in it. He made Holland put the loop over his head and then held onto it while Wilson made HOl- land unlock the doors leading to the cells He then stepped out and made Holland walk into the crazy cell in the corner and locked him in.

 In the region between Monastir and the Vardar the enemy troops are in full retreat before the Italians, French and Serbians, while west of Dorian, the British are steadily hammering their way forward, driving the enemy northward toward the Bulgarian iron tier.

Kuckenbecker related the facts above stated and said that after the officers quit the chase the party went on about ten miles into Mexico and then stopped. Four of the men laid down and went to sleep while the fifth kept guard over himself and Chambers. Chambers at one time, about day light, thought that the guard was asleep and reached into the tool box and secured a hammer and was just about to get out of the car and cave the guards head in with it, when the guard rose up. A short while af- terward Wilson told Kuckenbecker and Chambers to go back and at the same time thanked them for the trouble that they had been put to, Kuckenbecker drove back across coun- try until his gas gave out and then he and Chambers walked into a ranch house on this side of the line. and after getting something to eat secured machine and drove into Hereford. Mrs. Chambers was in this city when the news came of her husbands arriv al in Hereford and went at once to meet him and take him to tombstone Kuckenbecker went back across with the sheriff, taking gasoline to bring the car out.

They asked them what they were doing there and they replied: We are on our way from Ramsey Canyon to Bisbee and are having tire trouble" The officers made an examination and could see none so they decided to wait a few moments as the train was in sight The train stopped and off of the train came w. McWilliams of Lowell with six suitcases filled with whisky. He was placed under arrest and Officer Jack Ryan accompanied the trio back to town and they will now face a charge of transporting. McWilliam was only recently released from the superior court on two years suspend ed sentence.
