FRIDAY.

Inasmuch as some are still supersti-
tious about Friday, / have thought it
not amiss to give that subject some at
tention. Some of the results of my re-
search in this connection are here Civ

ers of the Midland Methodist, or a few
of them, shall be interested in the facts
Most all heather peoples have OBJ
served days, moons, seasons. Battles
have been lost and armies DESTROYED
on account of some superstitious peo-
pies not being willing to fight on GER
tain days. Many relics of heathenism
have come down to us in the form of
superstitions, of which the weakness
with respect to Friday is one. Some
person or persons made an observa-
ton that something dreadful had hap
pened on Friday, and to that person
Friday became an unlucky day. The
results would have been the same had

NOTICE

There is law in our city requiring
all patrons of the water plant to pay
their water bills at the Recorders Of
fee between the 1st and 10th of each
month. This law will be rigidly en-
forced in the future, and those failing
70 comply win have their water sup
ply cut off. The cost is 81 for cutting
off and 81 for turning on again.
All owners of double tenement hous-
es will be required to pay the water
rent or put in a separate line for each
tenant. This rule will be enforced
for the reason that when there is only
one line and one tenant pays while an
other fails to do so, the one paying has
to suffer for the ither's failure to pay.

STOP THE GERMANS?"
CERTAINLY

Among the cheering anecdotes that
Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant relates in
the New Republic, anent the present
Franco-American offensive, none raises
more sanguine hopes of allied victory
than this:
Something ever a month ago a
French general encountered an Ameri-
can colonel of infantry below Chateau
Thierry.
"How long have your men been on
the march," asked the general.
"Thirty-six hours"
"Then of course they are too tired to
go in"
mot at all-they'll go right in"
"Can you stop the Germans7"
Certainly we can stop them"
1t was thus that an American infan-
try regiment and five batteries Of ar
tillery were thrown straight across the
road from Metz to Paris. The Ger
mans not only did not advance one step
further along that road; they were I'M
mediately driven back by the Ameri-
cans and their reinforcements az

the German ranks is accommodating
daily.
Gemany's military power has passed
cording to the opinion of military ex-
its zenith, and is on the toboggan, ac-
perts.
The turning of the tide came with
the allied counter offensive on the
Marine.
But it is a mistake to think that the
Boche is defeated, war experts say.
The enemy still has several strong
punches left but he is tottering under
the allied blows.
Germany's strength is declining
weekly as the man-power and resource
of the allies grow and Americans ar
irving on the western front in increas-
ing numbers.
The Germans are losing confidence.
Extracts taken from the diary of a
captured German officer form a chorus
of complaints. He declared that he
was getting men in the late drafts
with hardly any training and that 'thc
people at home were taking things
horribly easy"
While the German was writing sew
enteen allied airplanes were dropping
bombs on German ammunition dumps,
while no German machine put in an
to give battle.
One of the chief complaints wasl
about the German air service and It'll
was declared that German aviatorsl
themselves are now admitting that the
allies are superior in the sky.

II has the ring of genuineness; it is
not far-fetched or overdrawn. The
military masters Of Germany have act
ed upon this creed, and the German
army, their disciples, have lived up to
lit.
Eye have heard how in olden times
it was said, Blessed are the meek for
they shall inherit the earth; but /
say unto you, Blessed are the valiant
for they shall make the earth their
throne And We have heard men say
Blessed are the poor in spirit but
| say unto you, Blessed are the great

BIRD CAUSES AIR
PLANE TO COME DOWN
Aviator Narrowly Escapes
and French Captain is Killed.

Paris, Aug. 9.-Greenville Keough
Of New Rochelle, N. Y, an aviator mar
rowly escaped death, and a French
captain observer was killed when a
bird broke the propeller and caused
his machine to fall 1000 feet on the
French front, it was learned today.
The peculiar accident occurred while
keough was banking his plane. As
the propeller broke, the machine fell
sideways. Unable to right it or to
choose a landing place, Keogh croshed
into a rocky field. The French observ-
er captain was hurled from the ma
chine and was killed when his head
struck boulder.
Keogh escaped injury except for a
scratch on his arm where he was struck
by a fragment from the engine. He
was taken to the Blake hospital in Par
is, where he was treated.
The accident happened on Keogh's
second fight since he returned to the
front from America, where he became
engaged to Miss Fallen of New Ro-
chelle.

TO establish whatever superstition one
might wish to favor. But for the re-
lief of those who are in the habit Of
eataloguing calamities for Friday we
here give a few of the great events
Of history that actually took place on
Friday.
On Friday, August 8, 1892, Column
bus started on his voyage of discov-
cry that gave America to the world.
Friday, October II, 1892, Columbus
first sighted land. Friday, January 4,
1893, Columbus started on his return
voyage. Friday, March II, 1893, Co.
lumbus safely landed at Palos. Fri
day, November %, 1893, Columbus
reached Hispanola on his second expe-
dition. Friday, June IS, 1494, Column
bus discovered the continent of Amer
lea.
Friday, July II, ITS, was fought
the battle of Bunker Hill. Friday,
July II, 1776, John Adams made the
motion for American independence
Friday, October II, 1777, the battle
Of Saratoga was fought, in which the
English were defeated. Friday, Sep
tember %, 1870, the treason of Ar
mold was exposed. Friday, July 10,
1866, the Great Eastern sailed for Val
Antia. Friday, July q, 1866, the Great
Eastern landed safely at Hearts
Ease, Newfoundland, with the cable.
conclude by calling attention to the
fact that as many more important
sVents in history could be given here,
md that if the American people are
% be at all superstitious about Friday,
ben we should vote it to be a most
lucky day.-W. S. Hendricks, in Mid

4LIED SUCCESS LARGELY
DUE TO UNITY COMMAND
Ihis is Opinion of Baker in Discussing
lGreat Drives Now in Progress.

\ Washington, Aug. 9-Progress made
ba the Franco-British troops in the
dive against the Germans between
Albert and Montdidier has been strik-
Iink Secretary Baker said today, COM
mlnting from press dispatches from
thk front.
'The drive is progressing with great
rabidity," Mr.. Baker said, "and the
FEDERATION has been greater than that
made by any recent offensive in the
same space of time, although upon a
narrower front"
The department is still without de-
finite information as to whether any
American units are cooperating in the
new offensive. A considerable force
OF Americans is in training in the Brit
ish sector in France, Mr.. Baker pointed
out, and the presence of these units
has served to aid the British, in get
ting together men for their present OPP
eIations. So far as is now known here,
however, no American divisions are
on the line Of the new attack. Mr.. Ba7
ksr was positive in his belief that the
successes of the past few weeks are
largely due to unity of command on
the western front. He says that the
unity of action and the elasticity with
which the military organizations under
General Foch has shown both in the
Aisne-Marne fighting and on the Picar-
dy front undoubtedly grew from unity
Of command.
1t is apparent from German news
paper comment and opinion of those in
position to know the trend of thught
in Germany, Mr.. Baker said, the Ger
man people are beginning to realize
that force capable Of securing victory
by arms is being built up against them
on the western front.

WHAT WHEAT TO SOW.

Do your part in the general state
plan for an increase of twenty per
cent wheat acreage. Even if wheat
is not satisfactory crop in your COM
nsunity, grow at least enough for your
family and your tenants. It is your
duty. If you live in a wheat growing
community where it is a satisfactory
crop, sow as many acres as you care
for, and grow as much to the acre as
possible
Give wheat a favored place in the
rotation by sowing it on early sod
lands, bean and pea stubble lands.

A State Deficit
Bennington Bannerl

The Bennington Banner says Vermont
will face deficit, due to the demands
of the war. Was the big million too
little for the necessities of the service?-
Rutland Herald.
If Mr.. Clement, as Governor, does
not back up on his pre-primary cam
paign insistence that every Vermonter
in service should receive state pay for
every day he serves, the hole III the
state treasury will be bigger than the
Black Cat mill. When the case is gone
into thoroughly, it is probably true
that there are thousands of young Yer
monters from well-to-do homes in service
who do not need state pay, but that does
not alter the responsibility of payment
where it is needed. The federal govern
ment is generous but slow and it will
be found later that some of the most de-
serving cases are outside the federal aid
law. For instance Bennington boy in
service was brought up and educated by
a foster mother. Now she needs the
federal aid, but the law does no recog-
nize foster mother. 1t is impossible
probably, to enact a general law that
will cover all cases.

An Incorporate Movement

Says the Newport Express:-The most
incorporate movement from class that
pretends to be temperate is the foistine
of DR.. Mayo to GUST Percival W Clement
out of bis nomination There is one
class of Anti-Saloon adherents who
would not be satisfied if they held the
highest seat in the throne of grace. They
would be sure that something would go
wrong and detrimental to their cause
unless the whole control of the kingdom
was placed in their hands If there was
single intimation or belief that Percival
w. Clement could, or would. or had the
least desire to overrun Vermont with
saloons, rest assured there would be
others beside Anti-Saloon adherents to
bar him from being Governor of the
state. In the first place, if we interpret
conditions Alright he would be unable TO
do this, and in the second place we doubt
il he has any inclination to do it if he
could
