Germany Blames French
For Not Quitting Rheim.

Amsterdam, June 6.-The French
resistance at Rheims Iappears to be
highly unpleasant to the Germans,
according to a semiofficial telegram
from Berlin. The message, which
doubtlessly is intended for the ears
of the credulous in Germany, tries
to divert attention from the German
failure there by plaintively upbraid-
ing. the French for not abandoning
the city.
Rheims. it is asserted, has no tao
tical or strategical value whatever
The Germans desire to spare it, but
are forced to shell it because the
French will not evacuate it. The mes
sage asserts the defense of the city
! has been left entirely to negroes
from Senegal and Madagascar"
These troops are reported as being
in a state of despair because they
had been told the Germans would
torture them to death" An attempt
is made to mollify them by the state
ment that negroes are treated by
Germany like other prisoners"

MORE PREMIUMS
FOR STATE FAIRS
Attention Is Being Given to
Agricultural Products Over
Horse Racing Now

An increase in the amount of
money offered for agricultural pre-
miums at the county fairs and SINH
lar exhibitions TO be held throughout
Pennsylvania this year is regarded
by men at the State Department of
Agriculture as one of the signs of
the times. For several years move
ments have been under way to have
more attention given to production
of foodstuffs and this year many of
the fairs show notable increases in
offers.
The department has registered
siXty-one shows for this summer and
fall. The great Allentown Fair is
missing from the list and so are
some of the smaller ones. Last year
eighty-one were listed, but the war
prevented some of them from being
held. The trend this year is to make
the fairs more local and to stimulate
rivalry in food production. The de-
partment bulletin on fairs, which
gives the fairs registered says:
The usual purses are offered TOR
the track races. but there has been a
decided increase in agricultural pre-
miums," which is taken to mean that
races will be held as usual. although
some officials here are of the opinion
cults will be able to get railroad ac-
commodations as heretofore.

 Candidly, must admit that the firing of crackers and otherwise burning powder on that day, is extravaganza; is waste of money most foolishly. It is foolish as the man who spends his money in getting drunk. He not only spends his money uselessy but he runs great risk of getting into trouble through the influence of liouor for which he spent his money. The man or the boy who fires crackers not only wastes the money the powder cost but risk injuring him. self and possibly others besides the destruction of property. From that it would seem that we should find some other way to celebrate the day without wasting our money at time when the country needs all we have.
