HIGHER COST OF BAD ROADS
Substantial Reasons Why Farmers
Should Get Together and Save
Cost OF Poor Highways.

The road that connects your farm
with the nearest town has more to do
with the cost of living, doubtless, than
you realize. Have you ever thought
that every product you sell and every
article you buy must be hauled over
the road; that your teams and vehicles
or your automobile must bear the
swear and tear" caused by rough
road to sell farm products or to bring
the necessities from the town?
The fact that your neighbor must
also pay the high cost Of bad roads is
all the better reason why you, he and
the rest of the neighborhood should
get together and improve the road to
save some of this expense. What you
and your neighbors lose in hauling
farm products over bad roads would
soon build good road and give you
quick and satisfactory service.
How long can you afford such lossl
And when shall the road be improved?

President Goes on Record for
Woman Suffrage.
Expresses Hope That Senate VIII
Take Favorable Action at
Present Session.

Washington, June 15.-Hope that
the senate would pass the woman suf-

sion of congress was expressed by
President Wilson.
His attitude was made known in a
reply to a memorial from the French
Union for Woman Suffrage presented
to him by delegation from the Amer
lean Woman Suffrage association,
which asked him to proclaim the prin-
ciple of woman suffrage as one of the
fundamental rights of the future.
"It is my earnest hope" the Presi-
dent said, "that the Senate of the
United States will give an unmistaka-
BILE answer to this question by passing
the suffrage amendment to the federal
constitution before the end of the sea
son."
Senate leaders have promised vote
at this session, although efforts to
bring the resolution up have failed
thus far.
The Presidents support was de
clared to have aided materially I'm the

Fierce Resistance of Allies Brings
German Offensive to a
StandSti|I.
RETAKE SOME GROUND
French and Other Troops Turn and
Force Retirement From Some of
the Territory Only Recently
Occupied.

London, June 15.-German attacks
on each sile of the French salient be-
tween Montdidier and scissors seem
to have been definitely checked.
London, June 15.-Between Mont
didier and Noyon and from south of
of the forest of Villers Cotterets the
offnsive movements of the Germans
apparently are on the wane.
In the former region the fierce re-
sistance of the French and Allied fore
es, for the time being at least, has
checked the enemy at all points and
on some sectors the Allies have even
turned vigorously upon the foe and
forced him to cede ground he had
gained
Only one attempt, apparently, was
made by the enemy to better his po-
sitions near Montdidier. Here he
launched a violent counter attack from
Courcelles to the north of Mery-a
front of about a mile and a haf-but
was badly cut up by the fire of the
Allied guns and forced to retreat, leav-
ing numerous dead and wounded on
the field.
Foe Hard Held South OF Alsne.
Likewise on the south Of Aisne the
invaders are meeting with unexpected
opposition and Notwithstanding the
large numbers of men they have
thrown into the battle their gains
have been relatively small. East OF
Scissors they penetrated to the vii
lage of La veraine, but were unable
to advance on any OF the other sectors,
although at one time north of Courcey,
French trenches were entered under
the force of the impact. A counter
attack resulted in these trenches be-
ing recaptured almost Immediately.
The sole rsult of the eneniy's at

to the present Is that he has by the
violence of his attacks east of tn

And a terrible price has been paid by
the Germans for this rectification OF
the line. Whether they are prepared

ing back the other salient from the
Aisne to Villers Cotterets and bring
ing the Picardy and Aisne battlefelds
into a more continuous front, remains
to be seen.
In addition to the large number oi
prisoners taken by the Allied forces
10 cannon, four being heavy weapons
and a large number of machine guns
have fallen into their hands. The Ger
man war office admits the loss of som
German guns, but asserts their force:
have taken at least $50 Allied guns
and more 1900 prisoners.
