SCARCITY OF HENS;
THE ROOSTER PAYS

One result of the recent move to
conserve eggs is the scarcity of chick
ems on the market.
In places where Saturday usually
brings dozen or two of these de-
sirable meat substitutes. there were
none to be had Saturday.
The reason, said the grocer, is
that the government has asked the
people not to sell their hens. There
fore the hens did not arrive. The
men chickens will have to pay the
penalty but there are not enough of
them to go around after the swat
the rooster" campaign of last year.
The lot of the male chickens is be-
coming less enviable each day

IOWA HAS MUCH WOOD
FOR FUEL PURPOSES

Iowa has 2,611,110 acres of nat
ural timber in its 100000 acres
of farm lands, so figures compiled
by the forestry department of the
State Agricultural college at Ames
show.
There is. therefore, considerable
amount with which to supplement
the fuel supply of the state. and a
more general use of wood for fuel
during war times, particularly the
down wood. is being urged by the
federal fuel commission and its
workers.
Prof. Mcdonald of the forestry
department at Ames and two assist
ants will make a tour of the state
and urge more liberal use of wood
for fuel. Methods of burning wood
in soft coal stoves have been devised.

new INDUSTRY FOR
AUDUBON COUNTY
Plenty of Capital to Carry Oh
Necessary Industry

A company capitalized at 10000
has been organized in Audubon coun-
ty and will be known as the Audu-
bon Rendering Works, with Roy DE.
reno of Sac City as the operator in
charge.
When completed the plant will be
one of the finest in the state. 1t will
be built of brick and equipped with
modern tanks, boilers, tankage press,
glue machine and all other accessor-
les known in handling of by-products
of such plant.
The new building, which is located
on the Maharg farm one mile east Of
town. is now in the course of con-
struction, the machinery is in transit
and it is expected that the plant will
be in operation within the next 80
days.
1t is a well known fact that it re-
quires fats TO produce nitro-glycer-
in. 1t is not generally known, but
there is a decided shortage of fats
in this country, from which eXplos-
ives are made. 1t seems almost
crime that We here in America should
burn or bury dead animals from
which these high explosives are made
and the company will be doing full
duty to the government by getting
the plant started at the earliest pos
sible moment 1t is an industry that
will be of material benefit to the
community and we trust that it will
prosper from the start.

GERMANS HALTED
ON BOTH FRONTS
Allies Inflict Heavy Losses Upon the
Enemy and French and Italians
Hold the Lines

Washington, ID. c., June 10
Austria's grave food situation, cou-
pied with the apparent failure of the
new offensive against Italy, is excit-
ing pessemistic comment in the vi
emma press. An official dispatch to-
day from Zurich quotes the Arbiter
Zeitung of Vienna as saying:
1.-THE situation will be still more
serious in Vienna when the sanguin-
airy defeat of the imperial forces be-
come known"
Paris, June 19.-The Germans
last night, after violent prepare
tory bombardment, began an attack
on the Rheims front between Vrigny
and LaPompelle, the war office an
nounced today. The French are re-
sisting the German blows with en-
tire success.
On the western front of the at
tack the enemy was not able to even
reach the French line. In the CEN
ter before the city the Germans were
completely repulsed and suffered
heavy losses. East of Rheims the
French were equally successful.
The statement follows:
Last night at O'Clock the Ger
mans delivered a violent prepare
tory artillery fire along the whole
! front of Rheims from the region of
Vrigny west of the city as far east
as La Pompelle. At nine O'Clock the
enemy infantry began an attack on
the French positions between these
two points.
THE French troops resisted the
German attack with complete sue
cess, the counter barrage fire of the
/ French artillery proving strong.
Between Vrigny and Ormes Ger
man assault troops were stopped by
the French fire and forced to return
many times to their lines of depart
ure and were finally unable to reach
the French positions.
Around Rheims violent combats
developed during the course of which
the enemy suffered heavy losses and
was verywhere repulsed.
East of Rheims the fighting like
wise ended to the advantage of the
French. The Germans having been
successful in penetrating the woods
northeast of Sillery, were driven out
! by a French counter attack.
prisoners taken in the region of
Rheims declared that the town was
attacked by three divisions which
We're ordered to take the place at all
costs during the night"
The front of the new German at
tack is the semi-ciicle drawn by the
enemy about the city of Rheims in
the recent offensive on Vie Aisne
| front. The Rheims region comprised
the left flank of the German attack.
Ground was given by the French on
both sides of the cathedral city but
the town itself and the nearby pro-
tecting forts were held against the
German onslaught and have since
remained in French hands.
Rheims, however, was hemmed in
on three sides by the enemy and it
has been considered a question of
time when the Germans would make
a concerted movement to GUST its de-
tenders.
The front of the present attack
from Vrigny, west of the city to La
Pompelle, around the semi-circle to
the east, is approximately fourteen
miles.

GERMAN U-BOAT IS
TO DECEIVE PEOPLE
Sent to Remote Places to Give the
Impression That They Roam
The Sea At Will

The opinion expressed by Vice Adj
miral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, first sea
lord 4, the British admiralty, to the
Associated Press last week that the
submarine activity of the Germans
off the Atlantic coast of the United
States should not be tatken very SER
iously, as the Germans would prob
ably not attempt to block the Amer
lean shores, resulted in the follow
ing statement being issued at the
American naval headquarters:
1.-THE activity of the German sub
marines on the American coast is a
manifestation of the failure OF the
enemy's submarine campaign. The
enemy has a limited number of sub
marines and his only chance of en-
ploying this available number sue
cessfully is to concentrate their OPP
erations on the focal points of allied
trade. All shipping which supplies
the allied armies must converge in
the areas in the vicinity of England
and France.
Every submarine which operates
far ofield, as off the extensive coast
of America, simply means less loss
to the allies, because it is one sub
marine less where shipping is heavy
and therefore harder to protect. II

mary bouts Friday evening. The
former Cornhusker gridiron star is
now an enlisted man in the medical
corps at Fort Des Moines.
Otapalik is willing to wrestle and
an effort is being made by Oscar
Thorson to find him a suitable OPP
ponent. He is great wrestler and
last year won the amateur champion
ship at South Bend with ease.

SOLDIER BOYS ARE
REMEMBERED BY RED CROSS

The Audubon county Chapter of
the American Red Cross has pur-
chased one of the finest Edison ma
chimes made by the company and
ordered it sent to the Red Cross
Convalescent Home at Camp Dodge.
The committee appointed by the
Chapter. composed of E. S. Van
Gorder, Dr. A. L. Brooks and S. c..
Kerberg, purchased the machine
from F. W. Smith the fore part of
the week and it has been ordered
for shipment direct from the fac
tory.
The machine will bear a gold plate
on which will be engraved Audubon
County Red Cross Chapter" and it
will in a dignified way express to
the thousands of. soldier boys how
deeply interested our people are in
their welfare and how much they de-
sire that they may have wholesome
amusement The chapter is to be
commended for its thoughtfulness
and its acquiescence in meeting a
popular public demand.
The machine is equipped with all
necessary attachments so all makes
of records can be used. 1t is the de-
sire to also donate number of rec
ords and our people are urged to
leave them at F. w. Smiths drug
store and he will be glad to forward
them to Comp Dodge. 1t is hoped
that many of our people will respond
! to this call for records. for the ma
chine will be useless without them
/ Let us see how many records car
be shipped within the next week.

MRS. ID. ID. SAMPSON
DIED TUESDAY MORNING

Mrs. d. d. Sampson died at Clar-
india about nine o o'clock Tuesday
morning. She had been in frail
health for some time but it was not
thought that her condition was crit
zeal. Monday afternoon she seemed
worse, but those attening her did not
think it advisable to notify relatives
here However. she continued to
grow weaker and passed peacefully
away early the next morning.
Anna Neff. daughter of George
and Mary Neff, was born in Allegha-
ny county. Pennsylvania in 1854,
and died at the hospital in Clarinda
June IS, 1918. aged 81 years.
While. in infancy she came with
her parents to Illinois where they
lived for period of 16 years when
they removed to Audubon county,
Iowa, in the spring of 1891. Here she
made her home with her people un-
til December Is, 1881 when she was
united in marriage to ID. ID. Samp-
SON To this union were born four
children. three sons and one daugh-
ter. viz: Allen, John and Wilbur,
and Mrs. Allie Finley, all Of whom
reside near the present home in Vi
ola township. She Joined the Meth
cdist Episcopal church when child
and remained a member 10 the end.
Her health failed in 1898 and since
then she has been almost constantly

the allies could in any way influ-
ence the enemy they would encour-
age him to send his submarines to
these areas distant from the critical
areas.
"Such activities will, of course, re-
suit in the loss of some ships-loss-
es will undoubtedly go on until the
end of the war. What we are con-
cerned about is whether the losses
which the enemy inflicts is critical
more than we can stand. AS long
as they are kept below the critical
stage they could go on indefinitely
and not affect the war.
1.-THE situation today is that there
is sufficient tonnage available to
meet the allied demands and it is
constantly growing larger At the
present rate of construction it will
continue to grow larger even IL the
submarine losses increased. The en-
emy's high command knows these
basic facts only too well, as evidenc-
ed by their desperate attempts to
force a decision on land before the
full weight of American Intervention
can be brought to bear.
From the enemy press it is evil
dent that these futile submarine
raids in remote areas, such as raids
on the American coast. the lombard
ment of Monravia, and the activities
in the Azores, cannot have any eff
feet on the outcome of the war and
are carried on to deceive their own
public as to the submarine campaign.
The German public is led to believe
by cleverly constructed press &C
counts, that their submarines act at
pleasure in all parts of the world

MANY ATTEND THE
BIG CELEBRATION
Hundreds From This City Attend
Big Gala Day at Brayton to En-
joy Splendid Program

The people of Brayton celebrated
last Saturday their annual Gala day.
Early in the afternoon people arriv-
ed in town where an abundance of
entertainment had been provided for
them. Music was furnished by the
Brayton band. and this organization
covered itself with glory.
The speaking program was car
ried out in the new garage recently
built by n. P. Hoegh, on a large
platform that had been built for the
occasion. o. F. Ide. one of the prom
inent farmers of the community, pre-
sided at the meeting.
A large chorus sang a number of
patriotic songs while Mrs. A. f. Tay-
lor presided at the piano. Miss Alice
Cuthbert gave short talk along the
lines of fruit canning. Mr.. Ide then
introduced the speaker of the after
noon, Rev. Rowland Hansen of Des
Moines, the distinguished gentleman
who was the speaker at the gradu-
ating exercises in this city early in
June. He gave one OF the best pat
riotic addresses ever hard in this
county He was loud in his praise

celebrating and for the community
spirit that prevailed.
Following the program the list OF
sports began which included a ball
game between Marine and Brayton,
foot races and guessing contests. The
program continued into the night
with band concert which was fol-
lowed by dance.
Mrs. ]. C. Nelson won the rug
that was given by the Brayton Lum-
Der Co., in the guessing contest. A
piece Of linoleum containing squares
was the object. of the guessing. Mrs,
Nelson guessed 1876, while the piece
actually contained 2400.
The entire celebration was well
planned and delightfully."- carried out.
During the day few minor side at
fractions caught the attention of the
people but there was no serious diff
ficulty. 1t was reported that con-
siderable bootlegging had been going
on, but the county attorney has been
making a thorough investigation and
as yet nothing has developed.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

1t is announced that the Fourth
Liberty Loan will. be on hand in Oc-
tober. The Government, instead of
undertaking to levy taxes sufficient
to pay the expenses of the war, is
raising a large part of the money
by the sale of bonds to be redeemed
by future generations. The people
are responding to the calls of the
government with large sums of
money This must be continued until
the end of the war 1t is our war and
we have to pay for it, And, as brave
men and women we will do 1t. In
the connection it must be remember

Great Thrift Stamp Day. The Thrift
Stamp not only teaches the lesson
of patriotism but also of thrift and
saving. The postal savings bank
system was created a number OF
years ago TO encourage saving, and,
in a great many ways, it has accom-
plished its purpose. But the great
est educational force for economy
and thrift is the purchase aud sale of
! United States Government Thrift
Stamps. There can be no loss. II
you do not pay out you get your
money back.

merely to be courteous enough to an

ments.
Wladek Zbyszko was coming back
from Omaha last week just after Joe
Stecher had beaten him and was
asked directly what he thought of
the famous Nebraska boy.
"He is a very good man, better
than l ever imagined" the big Pole
replied, indicating that this was as
much as he cared to say. A couple
of questions more and he had said
great deal additional to his first
statement.
81 do not find that Stecher, thru
this two and half hour bout of ours
knows much more about wrestling
than he did year or so ago, but he
certainly is stronger than he used
to be-" the famous Polish star said.

equal to almost any heavyweight l
