Paris.-The French have struck tho
Germans hard blow along a front OF
about seven and half miles, between
Rubescourt and st. Maur, recapturing
Belloy, Genlis Wood and the heights
between Courcelles and Mortemer.
The official announcement by the
War Office of this gain says that the
Germans suffered heavy losses and
left more than thousand prisoners
| and some guns in the hands of the
French.
Several violent C1smy attacks on
Chevincourt were repulsed, but the
Germans gained footing in Mache-
mont and Bethancourt, which places
are being bitterly disputed.
American troops brilliantly carried
Belleau Wood, taking 300 prisoners.
Washington. - American troops
northwest of Chateau Thierry ad-
vanced their position in Belleau
Wood, capturing $50 prisoners and
considerable war material including
number of machine guns and trench
mortars, General Pershing reported.
It is in this section that the ma
rines have been fighting for num-.
Der of days, and it was assumed here:
that they were the troops referred
to.
The statement follows:
Northwest of Chateau Thierry we
were again successful in advancing
our positions in the Belleau Wood
We captured $50 prisoners, OF whom
three were officers and considerable
material.

Oners, including 10 officers, and two
Krupp field guns of three-inch cali
Der, several huge minenwerfers and
number of machine guns. The attack
was delivered after two hours of pre-
liminary bombardment in which the
Allied artillery made the shell-shat-
tered wood an inferno for the Ger
mans resting there.
The furious American assaults
found the Germans stunned and reel
ing, ready to surrender. The Amer
.can machine gunners inflicted the
heaviest casualties upon the enemy.
Owing to the excellent artillery prep
aration and the swiftness of the
operation the American casualties
we're light.
The Germans launched an attack on
but the assault was
thanks to the GOODNESS OF
The American machine gunners and

|. C. RILEY CANDIDATE
 FOR COUNTY RECORDER

L. c. Riley is a candidate for the nomination on the Republican ticket for the office of county recorder. Mir. Riley says he is neither pro- German or a Sinn-Feiner-his name proves one contention and he is will ling to personally prove the other. It used to be trite saying: "Let George do it," but it was not long after Riley came to Flagstaff that the Elks, the War Savings Stamps committees, Loyalty League, Home Guards and other such organizations concluded that Riley only put in twelve hours a day on the telephone job and that he should be kept busy the other twelve on things that interested the general public-so it was Riley, whom the boys thought of so highly" put in the other twelve hours for the good of the cause.-the balance of the day he could do as he pleased.
 In a confidential mood, Riley reluc- tantly stated his case: q don't know anything about politics and never have been much of mixer, except as folks mixed it with me over the line, be- cause l wasn't able to hold up couple telephone polls in storm and fix the wires at the same time I have been to school some and previous experi- ence in keeping records will be of service if I am elected recorder. don't expect any one to do things for me that wouldn't do for them and I hope to always play fair, whatever happens"
 
 MT. Riley has been a most accom- modating manager of the telephone company for number of years and has at all times been ready and will ling to help along any movement in the interests of the county. He is serving now as president of the Flag staff Chamber of Commerce, an honor given him for his past good work. He had no intention of making the race for recorder when he resigned, bur many of his friends insisted that he would make an ideal man for the place and that he will make good to the complete satisfaction of the whole people.

MISS IRENE BART OUT
 FOR COUNTY RECORDER

Miss Irene Bart, the bright and energetic young lady who has been tho chief deputy county recorder for a number of years, has announced her intentions of being candidate for that office on the Democratic ticket, subject to the primaries to be held in September.
 There is little doubt of her winning in the primaries, as there are few, if any, who desire to make the contest.
 Miss Bart is young lady of splen- did ability, courteous and obliging as well as being thoroughly conversant with all the duties of that every inn portant and responsive office. She has been a resident of the county prac- tically all her life and popular with all classes who have business with the recorders office.
 Miss Irene is an active campaigner and will make it her business to see about every voter in the county before the campaign is over this fall and give them her personal reasons for making the race. If she should fail to win it will not be because of lack ing of pleasing personality and abil- ity to handle the work.

WOMEN PRODUCE SUGAR
 AND STARCH AT HOME,

Women in Uinta county, Utah, are going to make sugar at home. The great interest taken in sugar-beet production for syrups by the women of that county has led to the planting of from 75 to 100 pounds ot sugar beet seed. This is the direct result of the work of the county home-dem- onstration agent, who has demon strated the use and making of the sirup to each of the fifteen organiza- tions in the county with whom she works. The women have also made between 2,O00 and 2,500 pounds of po- tato starch, averaging 25 pounds to four bushels of potatoes. This means the saving of 400 bushels of potatoes that otherwise would have been wasted.

RESTAURANTS MUST STILL CONSERVE WHEAT

M. T. Grier, state chairman of the hotel and restaurant division, has is sued a circular releasing signers of the no-wheat-till harvest pledge. Mir. Grier explains that the purpose of the no-wheat campaign has been largely misunderstood and that while the pledge was sent to all establishments it was made clear that restaurants and boarding houses serving working men were not expected to adopt so rigid program. On the other hand it was expected that hotels and cafes and clubs catering to high class trade and those engaged in sedentary occu- pations could and would adopt the mo- wheat program.
 It was found that many boarding camps feeding men engaged in min ing, farming, numbering and other hard manual labor were trying to go without wheat entirely. This, it is pointed out, was not the aim or spirit of the no-wheat program. 1t was pri- marily intended for the well-to-do in order that any surplus of wheat might be given to manual workers.
 In releasing restaurant keepers from the pledge it is not intended that such places shall use more than their six-pound allowance per ninety meals served; also that no more than two ounces be served to anyone at a meal. No bread or rolls containing less than 25 per cent of substitutes may be served and no other bakery products containing less than one-third substi- tues must be served. Victory bread or rolls should be limited to two ounces to a serving.

DEALERS URGED TO ADJUST PRICES

In recent survey of the state rela- tive to the prices being charged for the substitute commodities made from the coarser grains, it was revealed that there is startling discrepancy in the percentage of profits for the various staples. Dealers should fix their prices with view to maintain ing an even profit on all such com modities, placing the price as low as possible to the consumer compatible with a reasonable profit. Reasonable profit is construed to mean not in ex- cess of a pre-war profit.

 PERISHABLES IN SEASON.
