Mr.. Patterson in very glowing and

Little Miss Grub, of
Chicago, Made Hit In
1.-The County Fair"

One of the most interesting and ap-
preciated features of "The County
Fair, the play rendered by local tai
ent Friday and Saturday nights, was
the performance of little Miss Jane
Catherine Grub, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs Thos. E. Grub, of Chicago, who
are spending the winter season here.
This little lady is not yet three years
old and we consider her worthy of
special mention because of her tender
years She has the stage presence
and confidence of born actress, and
when, with the rest of the chorus, she
was encored, she came out alone and
gracefully bowed acknowledgment to
the audience, which went into rap,
lures over her. She is an exception.
ally beautiful child, besides which she
has developed talent far beyond her
years, and it goes without saying that
her fond parents are justly and huge
ly proud of her.

Another committee has been ap-

and pretty scenery.
While the train changed engines
here and made other preparations fol-

provided with oranges, boxes of the
fruit being passed beneath the win

farmers CLUB
HELD fine MEETING
At HOME OF
A. /. CLARK

A large, enthusiastic and enjoyable
meeting of the. Farmers Club was held
Saturday at the home of Mr.. A. H.
Clork, near the Hollingworth school
house. The attendance was the larg.
est in some months-nearly 100 per-
son being present, and the splendid
dinner, excellent program and spirit
of harmony which prevailed, made of
this one Of the very best meetings the
Club has enjoyed in a long time.
A bountiful dinner-one which
made the tables fairly groan-was
served beneath the trees at the noon
hour, and after all had finished, there
remained nough or anoteher assem-
blage.
The meeting was called to order af-
ter dinner by the President Mr.. j. C.
Swindell and after the reading of the
Minutes of the two meetings held in
January, by Mrs. U. w. Iversen, the
Secretary, Mrs. Dora Barnes was in.
PRODUCED and she made an appeal to
those present to prepare an exhibit of
canned goods for the State Fair to be
held at Jacksonville. She also intro.
duced her sisters, Miss Nevins, who
will hereafter be associated with her
in her canning work in Polk County.
County Agent A. J. Lewis made an
interesting talk on corn as food for
hogs, the subject for the day being
Hog Farms. Mr. Lewis first ex.
planned how easily corn is grown in
this state, declaring that Polk Coun.
ty Corn Club boy had recently grown
102 bushels to the acre. He recon.
mended the use of Japanese cane
velvet beans and dasheens as hog
food, and said that the hogs should
have their grainless days just the
same as the people.
Judge w. S. Preston made an inter
esting talk, in which he said the farm
er who raised no crops for his stock
was not doing his duty, and told OF
his success in raising yellow flint
corn for hogs.
President Swindell, in giving his
experience in raising hogs, said thai
he had the best success when hi
planted japanese cane and let thu
cattle and hogs right into the fiel(
and allowed them to help themselves
Mr.. 0. c. Lanphear, who is dow
from Illinois, but who has large prop
erty interests in Florida, said that h
had found no more cholera in Florid
among hogs than in other States, AM
he agreed with other speakers that
preventative rather than curativ
was necessary.
The next meeting of the Club viii
be with Mr.. John McClelland in Lake
land Highlands. The latter contribu
ted much to the interest of the meet
ing by telling of farming In Pol
County in the early days, which h
did in a most entertaining manner.

American Bravery
At Chateau Thierry
Wins French Praise

LONDON, June 6.-The behavior of
the American troops at Chateau
Thierry has demonstrated more than
anything that has yet happened on the
American front the splendid initiative
and enterprise with which the Ameri-
can army is endowed and nothing has
aroused the keener enthusia sm of COM
manders, says the "Daily Mail" CORES
pondent with the American army in
France. He quotes an unnamed French
General as saying that the American
spirit and enterprise at critical mo-
ment served to maintain the morale of
the French troops around Chateau
Thierry.
The correspondent predicts that
much will be heard of the deeds of ths
Americans in the next few days and
adds:
"American troops fresh from the
United States continue to arrive with
regularity and in numbers more than
sufficienr' to justify renewed confidence
in the ultimate triumph of the Entente
The Americans at this moment are dis
tributed over very wide front in
deed
"In some sectors entire American di-
visions form one unit holding cer-
tain extent of line while elsewhere
they are brigaded with French and
British regiments. In the Luneville
very difficult salients overlooked by the
enemy. In the Toul sector their lines
are completely dominated by the Ger
man artillery on Mont Sec. The Ger
mans recently have been drenching
these positions with gas, but the Amer
leans stood firm and won the ready ap-
probation of all observers
New-York tribune., 1918-06-07
German Drive Held,
French Expect NelD
Attack Near Noyon

LONDON, June (via Ottawa) The
battle situation is generally unchanged
to-day. The Germans are held up for
the time being on the whole front
from Noyon to Rheims, and they have
lost heavily in the last few days, par
ticularly on Monday and Tuesday,
when their gains were smallest.
French experts now anticipate that
the Germans will attempt to break
through somewhere else possibly be-
tween Noyon and Montdidier, with the
object of converging their advance
toward Paris, although it is not impos-
sble that the enemy will attack in q
totally different sector. This would be
in accordance with the habitual Ger
man strategy Of pressing an attack in
one sector until the momentum is ex-
hausted and then turning sharply off
to strike elsewhere. The proximity
Of Paris in this case, however, may
indicate a departure from these tao
tics.
The attitude of Paris in facing the
present ordeal is inspiring the most
glowing eulogies in the British press,
which pays fervent tribute to Premier
Clemenceau's recent speech as eX-
pressing the invincible spirit of
France and atfording impressive evil
dence of the mutual confidence of the
Allies and reliance in the growing
might Of America.
The newspapers declare that NJ.
Clemenceau also spoke for the British
nation when he declared that France
would never yield.
