Omitted Press Staff Correspondent. n
WITH FRENCH ARMIES IN THE
FIELD, June 10-Foiled In their
March efforts to penetrate the Oiso
valley from the north, likewise in their
more recent attempt to reach thS
right bank of the river from the east
the Germans have launched a third
great attack between Montdidier and
Noyon for the purpose of reaching th03
Disc from the west.
The German staff apparently Is con<5
vinced that the Disc valley offers thoi
most likely opportunity for advancing
toward Paris.
The present attack was also for thOf
purpose Of linking up the Montdidier
salient created by the Germans in 7
their March offensive, which the Cha-f
teau Thierry salient created during tho
last two weeks advance. 4
Unless the Germans can straighteH
up their lines between these two pock@
cts, further advance along either ono
will be exceedingly difficult. Sunday'4
attack launched by General Won HuS
ber followed the same tactics which,
characterized the Boches preceding
offensive efforts.
They made an initial gain through
surprise attack-by concentrating
troops far in the rear and rushing
men up during the night. Then folA
lowed a brief. but intense bombardS
ment from midnight until 4S0 in tho
morning, when gas was used exten-
sively. The German infantrymen leapi
ed to the assault in successive waves.
Despite the Huns efforts at SCI
crecy and their use of gas French
artillery was able to maintain a counf
ter preparation throughout the enemy
bombardment, while French infantry<
men-fallen back under the first inev<
liable shock-put up their first ded}
hnfv
just outside the range Of the GermaAf
mounted trench mortars The despeH4'
alton with which the Germans launchl
ed their new assault, indicates thei3
realization of the absolute necessity a
ending the war before Americas fun
strength is intervened.
This realization unquestionably ha4
been fastened by the discovery dur
ing the recent offensive that American
| troops are able to cope successfully
with the best that Germany can pro&
| duce.

was made up in enthusiasm.
We are told that the speakers
were at their best and delivered
their well-received messages like
real eXtention workers. Friday
was the busy day. Revs. A. l..
O'Briant and j. B. Randolph and
Mr.. j. E. Vice assisted in the
meeting at Buena Vista; Rev. A.
L. O'Briant and Messrs. C. H.
McInnis and Jim Stanford held
a good meeting at Egypt al
night; and Prof. r. H. Pate
and N. D. Query spoke at Nc
Gill School House.
Saturday found the court room
filled with people to hear Profs.
Pate and Tanner. And they heard
them. Prof. Tanner outlined a
scheme for farming whereby
every farmer may do his part in
winning the war and gaining his
own financial independence.
Prof. Pate reminded his hearers
of conditions and pointed out
some urgent duties. In intro
ducing the speakers, Mayor West
reminded the people of some Of
their Stacking and pointed out
some patriotic duties.
In the afternoon the college
speakers made about the same
addresses as in the forenoon
with such notifications as suited
the occasion. In addition Mr..
W. F. Buchanan, Pres. W. A.
Battle, of the 0. l. S., and Mr..
Query made addresses on time
ly topics. The colored people
took good interest and promised
their loyal support to the Govern
ment.
Such a series of meetings can
but be beneficial in bringing the
people to a realization of the
dangers.a ahead and make them
think twice before they abandon
safe farming" and go back to
all cotton" for money. Let us
hope so at any rate.

The members responded to

or point of information relative
to the camp life of the American
soldiers of today. Most of these
incidents were doubly interest
ing, in asmuch as they pertained
in several instances to the work
of our own soldier boys who
have gone from Okolona.

have more than the allowance,
viz; thirty days supply of flour
and sugar come in and surrender
it to the merchant and get your
money back. 1t will be humili-
ating to you to have this man
come to your home and take the
the stuff from you and thereby
show to the world that you are
not doing your bit towards help
ing to win the war. You must
bear in mind that when you have
flour and sugar stored up that
you put that much out of the
market and you are making it
harder for our boys to win this
fight. There is no doubt but
what there is plenty Of -four and
sugar if it is properly used.
If YOU don't want Uncle Sam to
come and get it and don't want
to turn it into the merchant,
give it to the Red Cross and
thereby partially remove the
wrong you have done.
Come on in with it and let's
all get on an equal basis of sup
plies and all do our best to help
win this fight.
If yon know Of anybody who
is boarding flour or sugar don't
hesitate to notify the Govern
ment agent. You are doing a
patriotic duty.
Reduce your consumption 80
per cent and remember when you
buy flour that you must buy an
equal quantity of meal or cere-
ais and it must be meal and not
corn. Help enforce the law in
stead of criticising and hinder

An Excellent Series Of Meetings

Under the auspices of the Oko.
Iona Business Mems Club series
of meetings to encourage the
growing of more food was held
last week, eliminating in a dou-
BILE mass meeting here on Satur-
day, the forenoon session being
for whites and the afternoon ses-
sion for colored. These meet
ings were under the direct man
agement of Farm Demonstration
Query with such assistance as
he could secure, and he secured
enough help to make the cam
paign decided success.
At the outset Mr.. Query
thought to bring speakers here
from the A. & M. College or
from the Chamber of Commerce
at Memphis. He applied to both
the institutions without success
except for Friday night and Sat-
urday when the College sent him
two men, Prof. Pate and Prof.
Tanner. But the campaign was
to last week and no speakers.
So the "Selective Draft" was in
voked. Mr.. Guerry and the
local job printer constituted
themselves into a board and pro-
ceeded to select local men to fill
the appointments as planned.
Nearly all responded and when
one failed volunteers were secur-
ed in plenty and the meetings
were quite as good as they would
have been had the College sent
her best and, we believe, the
work was more effective.
Meetings were held at Chalk
Bluff, Wren, Marion, New Hope,
Buena Vista, Egypt and McGill
School House. At Chalk Bluff
Rev. j. B. Randolph made the
principle and Mr.. Jim Stanford
made his maiden effort. A full
house greeted the speakers and
interest was manifested. Tues
day night Rev: ]. B, Randolph, |
Messrs. A. L. Jagoe and c. H. |

talk to a full house of interested
farmers and others. At Marion

 "Antimony occurs on Highet creek and the properties there have barely been touched, so that little ca be said of them, They can be re- garded, however, as a potential source of this metal.
 "Scheelite is being mined on Dub lin sulch, and is also known on
 Iighet and Johnson creeks. The latter, however, are not so favorably situated with regards to water SUD- ply, as on Dublin gulch.
 All told the Upper Stewart river district gives signs of promise as lode mining camp. It must be re- memDered that the oYerburden is deep and that consequently pros pecting is difficult, thus rendering certain that only few out of many occurrences have been located. This fact will retard the development of the area, but some of the deposits known show great promise, and 1t seems certain that, with the encour agement these give, the prospector will slowly but surely open up the mineral resources Of the region.- Star. & Fl
