London, June 18.-On the front in
France the fighting activity has been
limited to local German attacks at iso-

the Matz river the enemy failed. The
same result attended strong effort

HAVE YOU BOUGHT
YOUR FERTILIZERS?

Indications are that no relief from
the present shortage of phosphate
fertilizers is to be expected until next
fall. The greatest shortage exists in
the supply of acid phosphate. This is
due to two causes: The extensive
use of sulphuric acid for munition
manufasture thus limiting the amount
available for the production of acid
phosphate; and the fact that the COM
mercial fertilizer companies use the
acid phosphate to make up their mix
ed fertilizers which bring them larger
profits. For this reason they want
to sell nitrogen at 40 cents or more a
pound and potash at 80 cents pound
in preference to phosphorus, notWith-
standing the urgent need of our soils
for phosphorus. In order to make the
best of an unfavorable situation, the
University of Missouri College Of Ag-
riculture advises farmers to buy their
fertilizers early as possible for it will
be very difficult later in the season to
get the kind of fertilizer most needed

an addition to the supplying of
those to whom we are already pledged,
we now have the splendid opportunity
and obligation of meeting the needs
of those millions of people in the

facing actual starvation. The people
of Belgium, Northern France, Serbia,
Rumania, Montenegro, Poland, Russia,
and Armenia rely upon America for
immediate aid.

How Newspaper Advertising Put the

allel thus far. On the other hand, the
publisher goes much farther in his
support of Government activities, at
his own expense, than does the manu-
facturer, because the publisher is
called upon to contribute column af-
ter column of free reading matter in
support of Government activities. In
giving publicity to the Fourth Loan
we sent to the publishers, and they
published, hundreds of thousands Of
dollars worth of news matter in their
reading columns.
my Hat Is of to the Publishers
of the 9Th District"
Can anyone justly say that on top
of this the publisher should contribute
his advertising space? | believe that
anyone knowing the facts would never
think so. My hat is off to the publish
ers of the Eighth Federal Reserve
District for the splendid support they
rendered the Government in the
Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign, and
| wish to take this means of publicly
thanking them for what they did.
We shall have Fifth Loan, we may
have even Sixth Loan, because our
boys will not all be back for nearly
two years, and the Government must
have large sums of money to maintain
the armies during the period of de-
mobilization. Therefore l expect to
again be brought into close touch with
the publishers on the Fifth Liberty
Loan, and | anticipate receiving at
that time just as hearty support as
we have received in the past.

WANT TO KEEP HIS UNIFORM

Many of the parents and relatives
in st. Joseph of our boys who over
there so CALAMITY defended our flag
have already raised protest over the
announcement made from Washing
ton sources that each soldier will be
given months pay upon his dis
charge and period of three months
in which to return his uniform and
other clothing" 1t is the last clause
to which the parents object, for they
want the service-stained uniform for
home treasure.
From all sources in this section the
folks who fly the Service Flag will be
heart-broken if the boys uniform
does not become permanent family
possession.

Surely Uncle Sam, if he learns of
this desire, will permit his glorious

later marched in the wake of the sur
rendered German hordes, as we'll as
all others who were ready to do like

USE ROUGHNESS TO SUPPLE.
MENT EXPENSIVE FEEDS

The judicious use of roughness for
live stock on the farm throughout the
winter is one means of increasing
profits that is sometimes overlooked.
Dat straw, and even wheat straw to
some extent, corn stover and pasture
can be utilized. Animals being fat
tened for market and animals during
the first year Of their growth should
not be expected to consume large
quantities of cheap roughness, but
horses, mules, cattle and some classes
of sheep that are being carried
through the winter can be fed rations
carrying appreciable quantities of
cheaper roughness, provided they are
properly supplemented with nitrogen
GUS feeds of the right sort such as le-
guminous hays or linseed or cotton
seed meal.
If oat straw can be substituted for
hay, it is saving of at least fifty
per cent, and experimental work has
demonstrated that through the winter,
work horses, mules and cattle can use
oat straw instead Of timothy or mixed
hay to good advantage, provided pro-
per supplements are fed.
Economy should not be carried to
the point where it endangers the lives
Of animals, says f. A. Trowbridge of
the University Of Missouri College of
Agriculture, but careful consideration
of winter rations should be given on
every farm.

ANOTHER VICTIM FROM
INFLUENZA AND PNEUMONIA

Influenza followed by pneumonia
claimed another victim in Pennington
Sunday, when Katie McCleary sue
cumbed to that fatal malady.
Deceased was the daughter of Mr.,
and Mrs. W. p. McCleary, and was
born Jan ~, 1898, dying December 8,
1918, being, therefore. 20 years, 10
months and II days of age. Deceased
was the oldest of a family of six chill
dren and acted as sort of second
mother to the rest of the family. She
was greatly devoted to the other
members Of the family and it was
while nursing one of her younger
brothers that she contracted the di-
sease that brought about her death.
She united with the Baptist church of
this city about three years ago and
since has been a devoted and conse-
Grated member. She was a splendid
young lady and it was sad news to
her many friends to hear Of her
death. Deceased wGs formerly a
trusted employee of the State Hospi-
tai. To mourn her death, she leaves
her father, mother, one sister and
four brothers, besides other relatives
and many friends.
Funeral services were conducted at

Few Escape.

There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are FORUM
ate who have but one and get through
with it quickly and without any Sc
rious consequences. Take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and observe the
directions with each bottle and you are
likely to be one of the fortunate ones.
The worth and merit of this remedy
has been fully proven. There are
many families who have always used
it for years when troubled with a
cough or cold, and with the very best
results. Obtainable everywhere.

business men generally the correct
idea Of the publishers position in the
matter of his advertising space.
White space is the publishers source

duce, just as certainly as raw mate

and there is no more reason why a

manufacturer to contribute his war
munitions free of charge, or at an I'M
profitable price. The cases are par

Luxemburg.

From almost the first days Of the war
nothing has been heard relative to the
fate of little Luxemburg. Tho grand
duchy was invaded by Germany about
the same time that Belgium was struck.
Having no army, Lu1cmburg was un-
able to offer resistance. The Grand
Duchess Marie Adelaide, then twenty
years of age, met the German forces on
the road and entered protest, but was
ordered to turn around and return to
her palace while the streams of gray
clad invaders swept on. Since then
Luxemburg has been practically q Ger
