LOCAL GROCERS
DISCUSS SUGAR
SITUATION

There was a large attendance at
the meeting of the local grocery
men held at the Council rooms
Thursday evening to talk over the
matter of sugar conservation.

is allowed three pounds Of sugar to
a person and only this amount will
be given to a household. At the time
the sugar is purchased the card will
be punched by the grocer and the
limited amount will be given them.
With thi. plan there is no way for
a family to have any more sugar
than their allotment.
The matter was discussed by sew
eral Of the dealers and questions
we're asked and explained by Mr.
Locke.
1t was voted to adopt the system
end a committee consisting of Bon

on the committee and to consult
with the local food administrator

MAIN ATTACK
BIG SURPRISE
TO GERMANS

On the French Front in France
July 1S.-(By the Associated Press,
The French main attack along the
bread front north of the Marine was
an absolute surprise. Many German
officers were captured while asleee
and numbers of the men were taken
while harvesting rye. The greatest
stupefaction was created among ali
the enemy troops holding the lines y.
TIE suddenness Of the attack. Some
OF the prisoners declare they had
been told that it was impossible TO,
the allies to carry out any operatior
in the way of an offensive for some
time.
Many tanks participated in the at
tack, having been able to take IN
their positions during the terrific
storm which prevailed. The Amer
lean troops, operating with their
French comrades in the assault, did
good work.
AT Courchamp west of Chateau
Thierry the German resistance was
more obstinate than on any other
part Of the Paris line. In this region
tire allies captured eighteen cannon,
numerous machine guns and large
numbers of prisoners who have not
yet been counted.
The allied troops show wonderful
spirits and advanced singing. A
battalion Of infantry crossed the river
