do SCI unos verdaderos "slakers' en-
las trincheras de Francia, pues Sc

JOS. M. BERGER MAKES
 GOOD AT MOBERLY

Mobelly, Mo-, April 8.-Mr. J. M. Berger, IT,, manager of the Felden- heimer Dry Goods Store, has signed a contract with MT. Frank B. Forney and MT. G. F. Braddick for a period of five years for their buildings which are under construction now on West Reed street which before the fire were occupied by H. B. Gilfillan and George Young and George Rob- inson.
 MT. Berger stated to the reporter that the building they now occupied was much too small for their ever increasing and growing business, and in the new building they would occu- py both upper and lower floors and the basement.
 MT Berger also. stated that Messrs. Forney and Braddick would build them to suit the Feldenheimer busi- ness, and when completed, would be the most complete and best store in the state. Even St. Louis and Kansas City could not boast of a more up-to- date store than theirs would be when everything was completed.
 We are certainly glad to know that MT. Berger will remain in the city, for he is a wide-awake young busl- ness man, and always ready and will ing to do anything for the up-build- ing and betterment of the city.

ANNOUNCES FOR REELECTION.

We take pleasure in announcing in this issue of the Independent the candidacy of Hon. Dene H. Coleman, of Batesville, for reelection to the office of circuit judge for this dis trict.
 That Judge Coleman is exception ally well qualified to fill this impor- tant office is best attested by the re- cord of his present administration. Very few of his rulings where ap- peals have been taken have been re- versed by the supreme court, which fact shoms that he is we'll versed in law and that his decisions are ren- dered fairly, impartially and without fear or favor.
 Judge Coleman is bright young lawyer, clear speaker and is al- ways ready when called upon to as- sist in any public undertaking. He was born and reared at Batesville and is we'll and favorably known all over the state and especially so in the Third judicial district. He is a true patriot in all that the name inn plies and has given much of his time in helping to make success of the Three Liberty Loan campaigns, the w. s. s. service, Red Cross, Y. M. c. A. and kindred war work.
 The many friends of Judge Cole man are glad that he has consented to accept this office for another term.

FARMERS ANIL GARDEN
 ERS-ACT PROMPTLY

A friend of the kaiser is in Jackson county. This gentleman is the Colo rado potato beetle, or ordinary pota- to bug.
 Already the bugs are doing their dirty work and should be poisoned as soon as they appear on the plants. 4 delay may result in a shortage of po- tatoes, most valuable substitute for the sorely needed wheat.
 Paris Green is the best remedy. Mix one ounce of lime with one ounce of Paris Green, and stir into six gal Ions of water. With this solution thoroughly go over the potato plants, the bugs will be poisoned and the plants not damaged.
 Remember this solution does not soak into the potato leaves, but lsI just on the outside. After a hard rain the potatoes are again at the mercy of the insects and should be sprayed or sprinkled again.

WILL CONTINUE
 ID SELL BONDS County Goes Way Over The Top With Every Community Reporting
 Splendid Subscriptions.

At a meeting of the Executive committee of the Third Liberty Loan campaign for Jackson county Wed- nesday night, it was decided to have. the committees throughout the coun- ty to continue the sales of bonds un- til Thursday, April IS, at which time the salesmen will make their reports. The county, with quota of $264s6O0, has gone considerably over the top with . subscription of $316,500, these being the figures re- ported Wednesday right. Several communities have not rendered their reports, and if all the amounts were available, it would be shown that Jackson county has gone beyond tho last total reported.
 In the Eighth district, during tho sale of the second issue of bonds sev- eral months ago, only 5 3-8 per cent of the people subscribed to the loan. It is hoped that at least 15 per cent of the people will subscribe to the present issue. The honor flags and supreme flags will be awarded only after 7h per cent of the people in q county or community have subscribed. their full quota.
 Up to Wednesday night Newport and Union township had subscribed $155,65O with quota of $150,00
 Parts of all the townships, with the exception of Barren, have rendered their reports.
 Following are the remainder of the townships as reported Wednesday night:
 Bateman subscribed $5,O00, quota $3,0OO.
 Bird township is rapidly approach ing it's quota.
 Bryan, $6,1OO; quota $3 900.
 Breckenridge, $32,0O0; quota 3O,OOO. Of this amount Auvergne $14,9OO, Weldon SIG, 0,O0o, Tupelo $8,000.
 Cache, $6,25O; quota $5,000.
 Cow Lake s5,OOO; quota $, 900.
 Glass $23,5OO; quota $25, 900.
 Richwoods $2,OOO, quota $3,000. Only portion of Richwoods has re- ported. The wrrhip probably has exceeded it's quota.
 Jefferson $5,000, quota $5,000 Jacksonport is yet to report.
 Village $5,O00; quota $5,000.
 Blanks for filling out their reports have been sent to all the township committees.

HUNS DEFEATED
 IN T0UL SECTOR
Americans Drive Germans Back In Disorder, After Enemy Had De-
 livered Heaviest Attack.
Associated Press Dispatch.


 New Yorg, April 11.-American troops in the Foul sector of France drove back in disorder Wednesday the heaviest German attack yet made on American positions. The Ger mans did not get through the wire entanglements, and the enemy suf- fered numerous casualties. Violent artillery bombardment for seventy two hours preceded the attack.
 On the northern battlefront bat tallion of Americans, the vanguard of the large force moving to the front, has joined the British armies.
 Desperate fighting continues on a twenty-five mile front between Civ enchy and Wytschaste, with the Ger mans suffering severe losses for small gains.
 The enemy has not gained any point of strategical importance.
 The British still dominate the bat tlefield from the heights of Messines Ridge on the north to Givenchy on the south.
 Below Armentieres, where the att tack was launched Tuesday, the Germans have made very little addi- tional progress, although they crossed the left bank of the Lys riv- CT between Estaires and Bac St. Maur.
 Infantry fighting on the Picardy battlefield has quieted down momen- tarily, while violent artillery duels continue
 Submarines accounted for only six British, one Italian and one French merchantmen this week, the lowest weeks total in more than year.
