Field Marshal Haig has taken inn portant heights south of Carbrai and east of the Scheldt canal, this drawing closer the net about the town. The French met with spirited resistance in entering St. Quentin but succeeded in throwing the enemy beyond the canal which cuts through the eastern sub urbs. North and south of the town the French have advanced farther eastward.
 In Flanders the Germans are re- ported to have set fire to the railway functions of RouIers and Menin and to be moving their big guns from the eBlgian coast to the submarine base at Ostend. The Belgians are now five miles from Thorout while the British are across the Lys seven miles north of Lille and are within seven miles of Courtrai All these are important railway centers and Lille is the strongest German position north of Cambrai.

OUR SAVED FOOD
FED THE ALLIES
Food Administrator Writes Presi-
dent America Conserved 14l,-
100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN.
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased BY
s44, SOC, 900 Pounds.

Conservation measures applied By
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and TO our own forces overseas l41.-
100000 bushels of wheat and S44, 6OO,-
600 pounds of meat during the past
year, valued in all at sl,4O0, 100000.
This was accomplished in the face OF
serious food shortage in this country,
bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, In let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up OF the millions OF bushels of wheat
during 1917-1S and the shipment of
meat during 1917-1S.
The total value OF all food ship
ments 10 Allied destinations amounted
to S1,400, 000, 900. all this food being
bought through or In collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 80, 1918.
The shipments of meats and fats
(Including meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils. etc., TO Allied des-
tinations were as follows;
Fiscal year 1867 :. 2. 1875. SOC. 900 lbk
Fiscal year 1917-1S. . IS. oil, 100, 900 lbs
Idaho County free press. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho Territory) 1886-current, 1918-08-29
$4,000 900 lbs

Ah(h~NSt -
Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
.appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly in hogs; they
we're probably less The increase In
shipments Is due TO conservation and
the extra weight of animals added By
our farmers.
The full effect of these efforts began
to bear their best results In the last
half Of the fiscal year. when the ex-
ports to the Allies were 2,133, 100000
pounds, as against 1,266500,000 pounds
In the same period of the year before.
This compares with an average Of
S01 10000 pounds of total exports for
the same half years in the three-year
pre-war period.
In cereals and cereal products re-
duced to terms of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations have
been:
Fiscal year 1867. 259, 100000 bushels
Fiscal year 1918. $40, 100000 bushels
