FIGHTING CONTINUES ON
THE WEST FRONT

While the great drive in the West
by the Germans has been stopped still
fighting continues daily at certain
points. mostly with the allies on the
offensive. The Americans are row
doing the heaviest fighting since get
ting to the front They have been
successful in all encounters thus far.
The German report says in one of their
heaviest attacks, that 1873 Americans
were made prisoners, including five
officers and 25 machine guns. Also
that the American losses were ex-
ceedingly high. This has not been
confirmed in this country.

LECTURE

Miss Emma Conley of Madison,
state home food demonstration, and
formerly an instructor in the Mara
thon County School of Agriculture
and Domestic Economy, lectured in
the council chamber of the city hall
last Thursday evening.
She was here principally to lecture
to local people on the necessity of
eating more potatoes and saving more
wheat. The food administration de-
clares that as a war measure it is
necessary now for everybody to eat
potatoes. The potato will liberate
wheat flour which, because it can be
easily shipped, is the best food to
send to our men at the front. In
substituting the potato for white
bread, we have better type of muscle
building material, mineral salts, which
are necessary in regulating the con-
dition of the blood, and starch which
is of equal value to the starch in
wheat -four. In comparing the value
of the potato with wheat bread, one
3-ounce potato is equal to two slices
of white bread, or ten medium sized
potatoes will equal one pound-loaf
of bread, or one bushel of potatoes
will equal in all ways 80 one-pound
loaves of wheat flour bread. The
main food value of the potato is in it's
starch and mineral matter. 1t i'm
proves the food value of the grains
both from the muscle-building side
and the mineral matter side.
Miss Conley also talked on
the war situation, stating that
so many people in this country
remark about the slowness of our
getting into the struggle. She
went on stating that if all those,
who complained about this matter,
would consider for a short time
that it took Germany fourteen years
to get into readiness, they would read
lily see that we are not so slow after
all, getting a million men in little
over year.
The lecturer also told how the allies
depend upon the United States for the
grain supply. Many here think they
are doing a great deal and sacrificing,
when they purchase liberty bonds and
war stamps, which they get back again
with good interest. The only Sacri-
fee we have been asked to make so
far, is to SAVE WHEAT and we are
not complying with this request in the
way we should.
Miss Conley also took occasion to
say a few words about the disloyal-
lists.
She also told of the wheat cards,
which a number of cities in this state
had ordered from Washington, so that
everybody would be obliged to Hoover
ize in wheat A resolution was also
passed at the Thursday night meet
ing for the issuance of wheat cards,
and the same is being taken up by
the Woman's committee of the Mara
thon County Council of Defense.

Drive on Tax Dodgers
Will Scrutinize Accounts Of
Manufacturers and Oil

WASHINGTON, June 1.-As the first
phase of big drive to check up ex-
cess profits and income tax returns of
big business interests, twenty-five
trained accountants were dispatched
to-day by Internal Revenue Commits
sloner Roper to examine accounts of
coal operators in West Virginia, Ohio
and Pennsylvania, to ascertain whether
any changes should be made.
The operations of these examiners
will be extended within the next three
or four months to other coal fields
and virtually all leading operators will
be subjected to examination concern
ing the accuracy of their reports. This
action is not to be taken as implica-
tion of fraud, it was explained, but as
precautlon against errors which might
deprive the government of revenue.
Similar examinations soon will he
made Of books of wool manufacturers
cotton manufacturers, mining indus
tries, munition makers and oil pro-
ducers. These industries are selected
for special examination because thew
showed extraordinarily large profits
