JUL|AETTA HAS
FINE BROOM CORN
MANY ITEMS OF GENERAL IN
TEREST IN LIVE TOWN OF
SOUTHERN LATAH

JULIAETTA.-Abou four acres o.
broom corn is being grown this season
in and near Juliaetta. The four acres
will probably yield about one ton OF
good broom straw which is worth
more than $500 per ton. Broom corr
does well in this section, ard the
wonder is that more as not raised
with brooms selling at present pceas.
G.. N. Buckallew of Juliaetta will
manufacture brooms this year, he be-
ing an old broom-maker.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hammond returned
from Agatha This morning, having
been to the funeral Of Mrs. Ham
mond's daugnter-in-law, Mrs. Jesse
Neil, who had died of peritonitis. Mrs.
Neil was Gil but three or four days and
leaves husband and two small child
rem.
The Juliaetta cannery has been
making short run, canning beans.
Within a short time tomatoes will be
ready. The csnnery here has 10 acres
of tomatoes in the Lapwai valley that
will be shipped to their cannery here.
These, together with the home prod
uct, should give the cannery a long
run this season.
Chris. Kieffer of Juliaetta has al
ready sold between $50 and $50 worth
of tomatoes from his patch of less
than a half acre. Mr.. Kieffer can
not begin to supply the demand for
ripe tomatoes for which he receives
five cents per pound. He expects his
tomato patch to net him at least $500 |
this season.
The bean crop in the Juliaetta sec
ton bids fair to make one Of the big |
gest yields on record this season, and
with a prospective price of not less
than 10 cents per pound-and with
an acreage Of between 5000 and 1000
acres, and with an estimated yield of
from 500 to 1000 pounds per acre
the bean crop of the Potlatch-Ameri-
can ridge sections will play a very
part in the income of the
farmers this year.

GREAT DRIVE
ANTICIPATED
Allies May Upset GGrman Plan
Of Retirement.
TIME RIPE FOR STORM ATTACK

Enemy Headed For Nothing Short OF
the Meuse Line, In the opinion Of
Army Officials at the National
capltal-First Stages Of the Great
Retreat Held by Observers to Be
Almost Complete.
Washington, Oct. ga great
drive, calculated to upset the whole
German plan Of retirement, may soon
be undertaken by the allies, in the
opinion of army officials here.
The German retirement in Belgium
is slowing down. 1t is not yet clear
whether this is due to the fact that
the retreating forces are nearing, on
the whole northern front, the line
which frequently has been selected
by military critics as the first pausing
place ON the way to the Mouse or the
border, or to the necessities OF ex-
tending allied communication lines
as the troops advance. It is probable,
officers said, that there is necessity
for a breathing spell on both sides.
There is little doubt here that the
German army is headed for nothing
short of the Meuse line and that any
pause will be but temporary to per-
NIT readjustment of the columns and
supply lines in order that the same
orderly sequence of movements shall
characterize subsequent retirements.
Several halts Of this character may
be expected, it was said, as the with
drawal project is carried out. The
fact that the allied armies are ham
pSred by extending communication
Ines gives opportunity for such halts
before Marshal Foch's men can come
up in sufficient force to compel a re-
sumption of the rearWard movement.
The first stage OF the great retreat
is almost complete. The German right
flank has been swung back like gate
all the way from SolsSmeS, south OF
ValencienneG, to the Dutch border.
South of the pivot, however, there
has been little change on the front
from the Disc to the Meuse. 1t has
been noted that heavy concentration
of forces was made by the Germans
on the La Cateau-Meuse-Serre front
and also against the American pres
sure northwest Of Verdun. Without
question the retention Of these lines
unbroken was vital to the German
plan of action. Now that the with
drawal in the north has progressed
SO fully, however, it would cause no
surprise here If a retirement between
the Disc and the Ssrre were under
taken without delay to rectify the
whole line.
