II think Frank Paige Is very fine fel-
low; he has a good position and
know he loves Barbara and could make
her very happy If she would only let
him. She has made up her mind not to
like him and nothing will change her"
As Mrs, LawtOn had intimated,
Frank Paige had been calling on Bar
bara Lawton for over year and had
already asked her to marry him but
she refused. She told Frank that she
did not care for him, but she told her
mother that he was too slow for her.
He did not care for movies, dances or
dinner parties, and Barbara told her.
self that she could never be happy with
a man who would not give her plenty
Of those things.
So that night Barbara went over to
visit her chum, Dora Glare. To Dora
she conflded all her troubles with re-
gard to Frank. After while Dora
exclaimed.
"Oh, | have just the dandiest plan
for you to get rid Of Frank Paige, Bar
bara.' Barbara listened eagerly to her
plan.
"You must lead him on and let him
think that II he proposes again you
Will marry him. Then when he does
propose you must say yes. Take his
ring and just imagine the excitement
OF being engaged You can have a
grand time With parties and announce
ments and then after while decide
that you made mistake and break the
engagement. Wouldn't that be funi
And you are always looking for ex-
element"
Barbara was a little doubtful as to
the success of this plan, but us she
really did not care AT all for Frank,
she had no thought for the harm she
would do him, and so consented to the
plan.
For several -wrtisf- Barbara stayed at
home on Sunday night and entertained

ask Barbara to reconsider her answer
and wnen he asked her again, she very
shyly said Yes

him the plan, but she would just say
that she had made mistake, but the
longer 1t was put off the harder it be

Matters went on for a considerable
length Of time, until one Sunday Frank
did not come to call. Barbara was
surprised to find herself at the from
window looking for Frank. She tried
to tell herself that she was merely
cross because she had stayed home
to entertain him aud he had not come
but that explanation did not seem tt
satisfy.

Frank saying that he had been yer,

TROOPS DID KEEP
THE FLU" AWAY

The efficiency OF the measures ad-
opted by the navy authorities to check
the ravages of influenza aboard crowd
ed transports is proved by the resord
OF big liner which recently arrived
at a British port. She carried 5000
troops and before leaving the United
States had to land 100 influenza cas-
es. Sanitary masks were then served
out and all aboard had to wear them
day and night with the result that on
~ one death and fewer than 50 cases
occurred on the trip over.

Ed M. Heermans of New York Will Arrive This Month and Direct

It is with pleasure that we are able to announce that the board of direc- tors of the Newport Chamber of Com merce, after carefully considering the applications of number of real good men for this position, have finally se- lected MT. Ed M. Heermans of King ston, N. Y., for the position of mana ger. MT Heermans while from New York now, has only been there less than a year, having been born and reared in the South and securing the greater part of his experience in the West, particularly California. He is a gentleman of the energetic get ahead type and the business men of Newport should secure wonderful re- suits through his services, and espec- ially SO if they will properly cooper ate with him and the officers of the new organization.
 We should never lose sight of the fact that no business can succeed when one man and one alone is left to do every bit of the work and the balance of the partners sit around and watch and make comments on him manner of doing it. It is up to each and every citizen of Newport to get right in behind MT. Heermans and become a real live booster ready to say What can l do" and then go do what we are asked. This is Newport's golden opportunity to develop her natural resources and with proper cooperation the Cham Der of Commerce as the working head of the city should accomplish many,

GERMAN EFFORTS
 COME ID NAUGHT
French Make Gains At Several Points And Germans Are Driven From
 Places Taken.
Associated Press Dispatch.


 New York, June Undetermined efforts of the Germans to break through the allied defense on the western wing of the battlefront south of Ailette is meeting with failure. Strong attacks at isolated points en- abled the enemy to make only slight progress, while the French regained ground at some points. Around Vim gre, just north of the Aisne, the Ger mans were driven from all ground gained during recent days.
 Germans headquarters on Wednes- day evening reported that the situa- tion was unchanged, after claims were made of slight advance along the Aisne river Tuesday. There are no signs as yet of the enemy preparing for another blow.
 In the Flanders and Picardy salients minor raids continue. Artillery fire is about normal
 The Americans, around Veuilly, northwest of Chateau-Thierry, re- pulsed strong German efforts to ad- vance Tuesday and Wednesday. American patrols are active west of Mont Didier and East of Luneville. An American party of thirty pene- trated the third German line east of Luneville and outfought two hundred Germans, whose loss was heavy, while American casualties were slight.

DRAINAGE CANAL
 FUR 0|L TR0UGH
Is Suggested By Many Of the Plant CTS Who Reside In That Section
 of Jackson County.

In an interview with Marion Dick
 ems, an Oil Trough bottom planter and progressive citizen, he outlined to us drainage system to help re- lieve the flood problem for Newport and the rich farming country across
 the river, that has the endorsement
 of most of the property owners in Oil
 Trough bottom and many of the citi- zens of Newport who have given it some thought and have studied the situation.
 The proposition contemplates the digging of a canal near the head of Oil Trough bottom to connect White River with Departe Creek, and the strengthening and deepening of the channel of this creek to the point where it empties into White river be- low Grand Glaize.
 The total length of this proposed drainage canal would be approximate ly 16 to IS miles, It would not only drain several thousand acres of rich farming land west of the river and prevent it's flooding, but it would carry off the flood waters of upper White; the flood waters from upper canal would be in lower White be- low Augusta before they would have reached Newport by following around the big bend, it is claimed.
 It is suggested by the advocates of the project that we have govern ,ment engineer to make a survey to ascertain whether or not it is practi- cal ard that all citizens of Newport and Oil Trough who are interested in | flood prevention, immediately write our representative in congress ask ing that this survey be made.

This is evidenced by the fact that some banks have retarded rather than encouraged War Savings sales by referring pros pective purchasers to the local post office. la MsS " In accordance with the president $ proclamation, an intensive thrift campaign is under way.

.2O3 REGISTER y
 F0R THE ARMY
Young Men Who Have Attained Their Majority Appear At the Court
 House For Registration.

That the martial spirit and the de- sire to flick the kaiser" as quickly as possible exists in Jackson county, as in all other parts of the United States, was demonstrated yesterday by the registration of two hundred and three of our boys who have reached the age of 21 years since the fifth day of June, 1917.
 There was only one place in the county to register, and that was 1t the court house in Newport. The reg istrants began coming in early Wed- nesday morning and the clerks of the local board were kept busy all day. Two of our boys from the lower part of the county who made the trip in . car, had a breakdown and did not reach town until 11:3O last night, but they looked up the clerk and regis tered at 11:3O 'ss'< s''' <
 Many of these registrants will be called to the colors this summer and most of them are anxious to get into service as soon as possible.
 There will more than likely be sev- eral more to register who for various reasons were unable to get here yes- terday. While the law is very strict in regard to registration and pros vides punishment of those who try U
 
 evade registering, it is not intended to work any hardships on those who were honestly unable to come and register on the 5th, or those who have lawful excuse.
 We will give complete list of the registrants as soon as same can be compiled by the local board.
