when an American mule train /
came in at one station, the men said
they wanted nothing, which seemed
very unusual. From one Of the Off
GERS we learned that there had been
no pay day lately. When the men
were told il was on the Red Cross
every pitcher and basket was emptied
over and over again. So on applica-

IMPORTANT NEW WORK

Cast and Geodetic Survey to Study
Alaskan Waters.
Washington, July 1G--lmportant
new WORK by the Coast and Geodetic
Survey has been made possible by en-
aiding legislation contained in the
Sundry Civil Rnl just passed. Secre-
lary Rediield announced today that
the authority granted will be utilized
without delay. especially for the col
lection OF data on tides and currents
and surveys in Alaskan waters,
which viii be OF great value to com
mercc.
Authorization was given in the bill
for the payment OF not to exceed one
dollar per day as extra compensation
to employees Of the different stations
of the Lighthouse Service while oh.
serving tides or currents l.ightships
are peculiarly well situated in posi-
lions where ii is desirable to collect
tide ana current data. but such obser.
vaiions are not part OF the duty OF the
Bureau Of Lighthouses and in the
past could not justly be imposed on
the lightkeepers OF that bureau with
out some additional compensation
and the appropriations for the Coast
and Geodetic Survey could not be ex.
pended 10 recompense them for such
additional duties without this authori-
cation. From the results OF data col
lec,ed by lightships it is expected that
predictions can be made which will
be of direct benefit to navigators and
20 far toward saving many vessels
from loss through inadequate know
ledge of the direction and strength OF
tho ocean curr Nts.
This bin also authorizes the bureau
to purchase supplies of procure serv,
ices in the open market in the man.
ner common among business men
where the amount Of the purchase
does not exceed $50. Instances are
numerous in the past where the neces
sity OF securing competitive bids for
small items have materially delayed
the progress of field work ana such
required procedure has actually cost
the government more than the value
Of the article purchased.

honey is now handled in large way
as staple food product through the
influence OF commercial Bookkeeping,
which has had a rapid development in
recent years.
Honey is produced in three forms:
Comb honey, in | pound sections as
commonly retailed; extracted or liquid
honey, which has been removed from
the comb; bulk or chunk" honey, in
which the comb is more or less mixed
with the liquid honey. From 1914 to
1917 the production OF liquid honey
has increased in proportion to the
commercial output of comb and chunk
honey. The bees are able to produce
a larger quantity OF honey if they are
no. ""olled - build comb for it, and
when the comb is emptied and re-
placed in the hive the bees are able,
in periods of heavy nectar secretion,
to proceed Immediately TO the storage
OF more honey.

Agriculture has issued Bulletin No.

SECOND PHASE OF GREAT BAT

a THREE DAYS FIGHT.
SITUATION IN RUSSIA
Germany Still Sends Troops Into Fin.
Iand-Americans With British
and French on the West
ern Front.

The second phase of the great bat,
tie along the Somme in France which
the Germans began on Thursday last
has died down. 1t lasted less than
three days and the fighting has re
solved itself into more or less isolated
engagements in which the French and
British allies have more than held
their own.
The attention of the Germans for
the present is mainly directed at the
lower end of the battle zone, which
apparently they are attempting to en-
large for the purpose of getting elbow
room in which to move their masses
of troops.
Meanwhile. General Foch, the COM
mander in chief of the allies, is biding
his time meeting the German assaults
with powerful resistance and here and
there conforming his lines to the ne
cessities of the battle. 1t is confident
ly stated at Paris that Foch will not
be drawn into any false move-where
each move is of such vital Importance
but will strike with his reserves at
the moment CHOSEN by him.
There may be some insignificance
in the report that the German en-
peror after conference on the west
ern front on Saturday with his chiefs,
Won Hindenburg and Vor Ludendorff,

the previous gains were continued in
the sector between Chauny and Ba-
