 record yield. The oats acreage l1as increased nearly one-third over the state as whole, and promises the heaviest yields in the largest produc- ing sections. The crop is rather light through some of the central counties where rainfall was deficient in May, and the latter part of April. but for the state as whole the es- timate is for yield of 26 IA bushels per acre, which is 10 per cent higher than the seven-year average.
 The condition of meadows on June indicated total production about equal to that of last year, or 25 per cent better than the average yield for the five years preceding 1917. There have been substantial increases in the clover and alfalfa acreages in North and Northeast Arkansas; in the limited areas in the Southeastern and Southwestern parts of the state where alfalfa is grown, the second cutting has been completed.
 Apples and pears each promise about 20 per cent less than last year. Peaches are very scarce, except in the southern third of the state. Black berries and raspberries Were damag- ed by winter killing, and prospects for these fruits are for about half of the usual crop. Watermelons and canta- loupes, due to the beneficial warn weather in May. promise good yields

Press Bureau Sends Out Dispatch Telling of Defeat of American
 Troops

Amsterdam, June 1.-The semi-of- ficial Wolff Bureau of Berlin com ments in message dated Monday upon American operations along the front between the Marne and the Ourcq, claiming the defeat of the Am ericans in sanguinary fighting. A conspicuous part is attributed to an American naval brigade, and it is claimed that successive waves of Am ericans attempting to cary Belleau wood were virtually wiped out by the German machine gun and artillery fire, which was withheld until the American troops were close at hand. The dispatch reads:
 "For the first time an American division advanced on June 2 to the attack on sthe front northwest of Chateau Thierry. The hottest point was Belleau wood where a German regiment inflicted severe losses. It repulsed the Amricans, who got as far as the edge of the wood, in a fight at close quarters with hand grenades and bayonets.
 Nevertheless, parts of an American division, notably naval brigade, ad- vanced again to the attack at dawn on June 8, in successive waves. We allowed the enemy to approach close ly. Near the edge of the wood they were caught in front and on both Hanks by whitening machine gun and artillery fire. Only a few the Americans escaped hy surrender or by nasty flight towards the rear. Heaps of American dead lie on the front of Belleau woods.

WEDDING COMEDY FOR
 ALL BUT PARTICIPANTS
Young Harvard Man at Camp Fun ston Has Difficult Time to Wed, Be-
 cause of Elusive License.

Camp Funston, Kan., June 11.-It may read like comedy. but it was any thing but one for Private Lewis of Company H, 354th infantry. Private Lewis declares emphatically that get ting married is a serious business. At least. it was such in his experience. But he admits that Cupid must have been in mood for tragic jokes when he aimed his shaft at him. This time he called in Fate and Disappointments as curtain raisers. But now every thing is lovely-the soldier and his bride are to "be happy ever after"
 All the trouble arose over an elu- sive marriage license. One bearing the names of Private Burt D. Lewis and Miss Susie Shaffer of Kansas City. Mo-. was duly procured at Junct- ion City by the soldier. The wedding was to be held at the Y. M. c. A. pavilion. But at the crucial time the license could not be found, and the wedding was postponed for day while a friend of the soldier was dele gated to secure copy of the license He in turn sent the license to camp by friend. with instructions to leave it at CIle l. M. C. A. DulIulIlS WHeIe Lewis would call for it. The license was enclosed in a stamped envelope bearing the address of the probate judge in order that, after having served it's official purpose, it would follow the legal routine of being re- turned to the court.
 When the secretary in charge went off duty he neglected to advise his successor of the purpose of the en- velope, and the secretary, seeing the envelope, "obligingly" dropped it in the mail box. Private Lewis called for the license just before the hour set for the wedding. and found only a new disappointment. This time the soldier went on the trail himself. He went to the probate judges office, se- cured the license and returned to camp with it. Somewhat apprehen- sive, but confident that "third times a charm" the ceremony was called for "a third time, and went through with out further delay.
 The bride and groom had been sweethearts for many years. He is a graduate of Harvard University; Mrs. Lewis is graduate of the University of Kansas

Wheat prices show the effect of government supervision. In spite of the scarcity, the price to the consum- CT is less than a year ago. Under unrestricted conditions of trade, only the rich could have procured it.
 The attention of housekeeping and of the consuming public is especially directed to the reasonable prices of potatoes and eggs. The increased consumption of these foods will not only tend to save wheat and meat, but will also effect saving of money for many.

reIltale Eyes and Toes.

The eyes tell the story of guilt when all the other muscles are controlled. This you will learn in the eleventh chapter of Darwia's book. Sometimes, when the face is controlled, as in tho case of natives of India. other muscles are uncomfortable. Sir Henry Maine declares that in India the judge can tell when native is lying by watch Ing his toes. He keeps his face per fectly straight and his eyes express sionless, but his toes begin to wjgcse as soon as he begins to lie.

action by direct hits. Every shot which
hits the mark kills several men of the
crew and often sets fire to the tank.
The artillery sections which are held
in reserve back of the front do not
know what is going on and In general
arrive too late to be Of use.
1.-THE cannon, in principle, should be
placed far In advance; thus the enemy
is not able to surprise US.
"The commander of the front line
troops should be responsible for the
placing Of antitank cannon. Pieces
mounted on auto trucks are very use

Infantry Should Be Repulsed.
"Infantry-The line Of battle must
not be opened, except to allow intact
tanks to pass; the troops may seek
cover, but should not fall back. It is
necessary that the tanks should be
put out Of action back Of the line. The
main thing Is TO repulse the enemy In

weapon against the tanks Is the armor.

crews Of the tanks, because n pierces
the armor and produces at the same
time a great fame, which frequently
sets fire to the fuel reservoir.
"The best method Of attacking a
tank is to attack 1t from the rear, be-
cause 1t is not easy for Its crew to fire
from behind, and because the rear is
the part the least protected. Street
fighting against the tanks is very ia
vorable to the infantry; the troops
shelter themselves in the houses, let
the tanks pass, then open fire with ma

Hand grenades, emf Eyed one at a

employ a concentrated charge (several

but this is not easy to do.
