Telephone Courtesy

The people who get the greatest
amount of good out of their telephone
are those who talk over it as though face
to face
Courtesy smooths out difficulties and
promotes the prompteSt possible connec-
tons.
The operators of the BELL System
are trained to be patient and polite under
all circumstances, but they will do better
work if they meet with patience and
poteneSs on the part of the telephone
users.
The fact that you cannot see the
operator or the other party should not
cause you to overlook this. The best
results come through the practice of
mutual courtesy.

Keep Immature Fowls.

Farmers are urged by the food ad'
ministration to keep their immature
fowls on the farm. Storage space Ia
exceedingly hard to get and for that
reason much loss would result in mar
keting fowls that could be kept on the
farms. The government is using a
very large proportion OF the cold stor
age Of the country, making it exceed
ingly difficult to obtain by packers
and shippers of poultry. Only old
hens, ogs, etc, should be marketed
at this time by the farmers.
The farmers are also urged to keep
some Of the old turkey hens on the
farms for next years laying It has
been found from experience that eggs
from the old hens are more fertile,
produce stronger and better birds than
those from the young hens. For that
1t would be a serious mistake,
that might result in losses next yea,
[ sell all of the old turkeys also M
young hens should be sold uIless they
weigh over eight pounds, and your
toms should not be sold with lea
weight than twelve pounds.

The sweet potato thrives best in the
southern part of the country, as it is
a tropical plant. 1t cannot be sue
cessfully grown in the extreme north
ern sections Of the country. The
plants are started in hotbeds by bed
ding potatoes in sand and allowing
them to sprout. The plants are brok-
en- off the parent potato as soon as
they have formed few leaves and a
root system of their own, and as soon
as the ground in the open Is well
warmed up. This will be one month
after the date of the last killing frost.
Sweet potatoes are a heat-loving
plant, and cannot Withstand cool
weather. In setting them In the open,
the usual method is to throw the soil
up in ridges about feet apart. The
plants are set in row on top Of these
ridges some IL or IA inches apart.
pweet potatoes thrive best In a
sadly soil that Is vel fertilised
throughout 1t is good plan to opaa
burrows where the row is to be, hIi
these burrows with manure and turn
the soil back on top Of the manure.
This should be thoroughly mixed with
shovel pillow or cultlvator, as too
much manure In one spot under the
hole viii produce a large growth Of
vines at the expense of the potatoes.
Sweet potatoes may be dug at any
time after they become large enough
to use, but improve in quality as they
approach maturity. They should be
dug as soon as the vines are killed

WILL BOOST WHEAT PRICE
President Gives Food Administration
Authority to Act.

Washington, June 4.-Blanket au-
thority to increase the price of wheat
at primary and other markets, with the
approval Of Hoover above the 1920 q
bushel minimum price guaranteed by
presidential proclamation last Febru-
ary 21, is given the food administra-
ton grain corporation in New York
by an executive order Of the president
To carry out the purposes of the
order the corporation is authorized tc
increase its capital stock from $50, 600,
600 to $15O,OOO,OOO, in shares of a pal
value Of $1OO each.
All the stock will be owned by the
government and will be purchased by
the food administration from time tC
time, as the necessity arises to main
tain the present 1920 price and any
increases authorized.
The increased freight rates, which
will become effective Tuesday, is be-
lieved to have Influenced the presi
dents decision to permit the grain
corporation to pay higher prices fol
wheat. Growers must bear this in
crease, and without an advance in the
price of wheat their profits would be
reduced materially.

with the British Army in France,
June 24.-During the night the Brit
Ism conducted raid near BucquOy
with tanks, which never before had
Deen used for raiding purposes. The
Dig engines went over the top shortly
before midnight, followed by infantry.
The rifle men met with strong oppo-
s1tion and were held UP by heavy
machine gun fire, but the tanks prO-
ceeded on their business and for two
hours trundled about the enemy ter
rltory, leaving the mark of their
guns wherever they went. What cas-
ualties were inflicted on the enemy
are not certain, but the tanks did
good execution and prisoners were
brought back.
An enemy attempt to capture some
British positions on the high ground
east OF Strazeele met with complete
reverse.
The attack was preceded by a
heavy bombardment that began about
six O'Clock and was maintained with
great intensity for a considerable
time.
AT the conclusion of the artillery
preparation, the German infantry
along narrow sector surged for
Wara for the assault, but as they
pushed up the incline they encoun-
tered such tornado Of machine gun
and rifle fire that after struggling
ahead a little they were forced to
retire.
On the Belgian sector, King Al
bert's troops carried out raid north
west Of st. Julian that resulted in q
hot fight at a strong concrete block
house. The Belgians stormed this
position and cleared 1t out, capturing
eight Germans, who appeared to be
all the men left alive in the fort.

trfans back to the river near where
the Monte Belluna railway skirts It,
above Saltello. then turning south
across a bend Of the river, which
they reached again below Zenson,
penning the Austrians in a little loop
Of the stream about five miles wide.
This huge fiasco is all the kustrians
have to show for their weeks work
and their hundred thousand dead.
For several days1th the Austrian forces
which had won their way across the
Piave have been in perilous situation
because of the sudden rising of the
river, which tore away most Of the
permanent bridges across the Piave
and destroyed nearly all of the pom
toon bridges which they had flung
across the stream.
AIrmen Destroy Bridges.
Allied airmen, including Americans,
added to this destruction by bombing
the pOntOOns and, on the lower reaches
Of the river, the Italian naval forces
took a hand, the light gunbOats and
other small craft constantly lombard
ing the bridges within their reach.
This played such havoc with the
lines Of communication that CORE
spOndents at the front said that for
some time the only means of taking
supplies to the Austrians on the west
bank of the river was by hydroplanes.
Pressed Closer to River.
At the same time the Italian land
forces were graduaHs, beating back
the Austrians until they held only mar
row strips of land on the west banks
Of the river.
They penned in the invader and
poured on the hard pressed ranks the
concentrated fire of their field artil-
lery and machine guns.
The Austrians, owing to the destruc-
ton Of their bridges, were unable to
bring over their artillery, and were
forced to defend themselves with their
lighter arms only.

London, June 24.-German forces
attacked the entente allied positions
at Bligny, about eight miles southwest
of Reims, and succeeded temporarily
in gaining footing in the allied
trenches, the French war Office an
nounced.
A vigorous counter-attack by Foch's

Its entirety.
British troops successfully raided
the German lines near MorlancOurt

OF prisoners, the British war Office
says. A strong German attack on the
British positions west Of Merris was
repulsed.
Another Offensive Seen.
Military critics both here and in
France predict still another offensive
in the west which will prove to be once
more the greatest battle Of the war"
The Germans are said to have re-
serve Of between 100000 and 100000
men still intact which they can hurl
against the allies.
