MADE A SPLENDID PICTURE

The patrons of the Crescent
Theatre were given treat Friday
evening when film of 1000 it was
run showing the method of irriga :
ton, the bitches and the country
under irrigation in that part of
Canada where irrigated lands are
being sold under guarantee of the
government to furnish sufficient
water. This land Is being sold by
the Canadian Pacific Railway Co.,
and their local representative is the
genial, jovial. Hans Hansen. who
is working industriously to interest
the people of this county in Canada
land From the picture shown,
one could easily see the advantages
of irrigation. The crops are splend-
id, and everywhere there appeared
to be unbounded prosperity II
was quite a revelation to our peo-
pie to notice the up-to-date cities
and towns of the country. 1t was
a film well worth seeing and will no
doubt better familiarize people
with that part of Canada.

SMALL GRAIN Is GOOD

The dry weather of the past ten
days has been very favorable for har-
vesting. The bulk of the small grain
is now in the shock. Some farmers
are stacking their grain and a few
have already made arrangements
with ID. w. Fullerton to thresh today
or tomorrow. They are expecting a
splendid yield Some winter wheat
is said will yield fifty bushels and up
wards per acre with spring wheat
going twenty-five or more. Oats are
not as good a crop as last year ow-
ing to the dry spell early last spring.
The pastures are short and extra feed
may be necessary for cattle. The
rain Monday night has helped the
pastures and the potatoes. Many
creeks are dry that have not failed
for a good many years.

TOWNSHIP GIVES AMBULANCE

The people of Douglas township
have demonstrated anew their loyal.
ty and patriotism. A fund has been
raised to purchase an automobile am
bulance to be sent to the front, and
the amount raised has been sent to
the proper authorities in the east
Most of the money was secured by
popular subscription. only a small
sum being raised at an ice cream So
cial given at the home of A. j. Shupe
a short time ago. When it comes
to being liberal, the people of Doug
las township head the list, Doug
las township is the. first one to do
nate an ambulance, though many OF
the counties of the state have Civ
en- them, in fact Audubon county has
given five ambulances, which is the
best record by far of any county in
the state. This is a record any COM
munity may we'll feel proud of and il
is worthy of emulation. The people
of Iowa can look with pride on the
record Douglas township has made
in all of the war activities.

outskirts of these towns they have
| been held up.
Just to the northeast the Ger
mans tlaverged the Bouquigny
wood. but on the southern side they
have been stopped.
+, The Germans are more than
twenty-four hours behind schedule
and there is little to indicate that
they still have striking power as
great as they possessed when their
attacks began. The allies therefore
seem to have reason to believe that
the supreme test of their defense has
been met successfully.
ON THE FLANDERS FRONT
German artillery is reported active
in the Albert sector. md in some
other regions along the British
front, but there have been no pro-
tentious developments there.
In an operation conducted last
night in the region east of Amiens
the British improved their line, af-
ter sharp fighting, in the Villers-
BretonneuX sector. the war office
announced today.
The German guns are busy dur

west of Albert and showed some ac-
tivity at various other points on
the northern part of the British
front.

battle line. Unofficial advice state
here they have retaken Fossoy and
Crezancy, south of the Marine. 1t
is evident that between Dorman and
Rheims. the Germans are driving
toward the Marine at Chatillion and
along the line to the northeast
Only at one point, in the Rodemont
wood, mile and half from Chat
illion did they advance last night.
There they have been checked by
French fire. Thence to Rheims
there is no change in the situation.
The deepest pera ration along this
line. approximately is there and
three-fourths miles northeast of
Chatillion, in the Rodemat wood.
This marks the greatest advance of
the Germans at any point along
the line.
East of Rheims the situation is
reassuring, the enemy making no
progress.
The French battle positions are
declared intact and the Germans
have not been able to advance south

the woods and parallel on the north

GERMANS LAUNCH
THIRD OFFENSIVE
FIGHT But ARE TAKING
GROUND AND PRISONERS

Germany launched her third Of
fensive early Monday morning aiong
a 63 mile front after q wait Of thirty
three days. They are delivering
their blows in three different sectors
and in each one OF them are many
American soldiers. The boys of the
16Sth Iowa. many of whom are
from Audubon and surrounding ter
ritory are fighting the newest Hun
offensive.
Latest reports state that the Ger
mans have crossed the Marine at
several places and have made gains
along a fourteen mile front In a
counted attack the Americans took
500 prisoners. After being COM
PEELED to retreat they made count
err attack in which the prisoners
were captured
Paris July five regret being
unable on this occasion to follow the
counsels of our masters. the French
but the American flag has been fore
ed to retire. This is uncomfortable
and none of our soldiers would
understand their not being asked
to do whatever is necessary to re-
iating to us and unacceptable to our
country's honor. We are going to
counter attack
This Is a message sent by an
American general in command of
American troops south of the Marine
on Monday afternoon after the Ger
means had succeeded in forcing the
Americans back toward Conde-En
oh H..
formed the American general that
the early German success could not
have any great effect on the fate
of the battle; that it was understood
perfectly that after hard fighting
the Americans had retired and that
1t was not expected that they i'm
mediately launched counter at
tack. He added that a counter at
tack could be postponed without
risk and that it might be better to
give the American troops an hours
rest.
Immediately afterward the Ameri-
can general sent the above message,
which is quoted by the correspond
ent of the Matin, the Americans
launched their counter attack and
the lost ground was soon recovered
with an additional half mile TAX
en- from the Germans for good
measure.
Furiously launching new attacks
against the allied positions on the
Marine front from Chateau Thierry
to RHEIMS, the Germans are con-
tinuing their efforts to break
through the French and American
defense. They made slight pro-
gress at one point during the night
and their progress has been rather
slow in comparison with the sweep
of the Teutonic legions in their
previous offenses.
1t appears that the enemy after
crossing the Marine between Dor
mans at Chatillion has reached the
villages of St. AgnOn, La Chapelle
and Monthedon, which approx
mately are a mile and three quar-

RAISE PIGS

By DAN 7. GRAY, CHIEF, DIVISION OF
ANIMAL INDUSTRY
Our armies and our Allies need
meat and lard-need more than the
world is now producing. If this
extra meat and lard are to be pro-
duced, America must do it. After
careful survey of the situation,
the Food Administration asked the
American people to produce Is per
cent more hogs this year than last.
but North Carolina was asked to
increase the number of her hogs
only 10 per cent.
Is she going to do it? At the
present time it doesn't look as
though she would, as the last crop
report shows US to have just ex-
actly as many sows as we had a
year ago. Ald it takes sows to pro-
duce hogs.

RED CROSS PARADE.

A very important feature of the
Red Cross Rally, on next Monday,
will be parade. The parade will
form at the foot of the Court House
steps promptly at 1900 noon and
march to the Graded School build
ing, where the speaking will be held.
Every community in the county is
urged to join in the march. Let the
captain of every unit report to nTof.
j. N. Wilson or myself and a def
mite place in the line of march will
be assigned. This arrangement can
be made as the line forms.
We are especially anxious for
every mother who has son in the
army to join the mothers division.
Then we ask for the fathers, young
ladies who can dress as Red Cross
nurses, school children over twelve
years of age, young men of draft
age, Red Cross workers, and finally
any and all who will join us.
If it is convenient we would like
for each unit to carry banner
with the name of their community
on it; however, this is not required
Again let me urge that everyone
take part in the parade. This j:
important. Respectfully.
