State Committee Meets.

NJ. J. McMillin attended the meeting
of the republican state central COM
mittee and state candidates on last
Thursday in Denver, and says there
was a big turn out and very harmoni-
Gus and enthusiastic meeting. Over
two hundred republican workers from
all sections Of the state were present
and all were enthusiastic in the belief
that this is a republican year. r. l..
Holland, who so efficiently managed
the Shoup primary campaign, was IN
animously chosen as state chairman,
and the choice Of the secretary left
to him. John f. Vivian, the former
chairman, refused to serve longer, al
though large majority of the active
party workers desired him to continue
in the office, but owing to his official
duties he declined TO remain on the
job and he placed Mr.. Hollands name
before the committee as the best man
for the place. The latter while not
prominent heretofore in state affairs
is a stalwart republican worker and
that he is efficient the late primary
election demonstrated.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR
Week Has Been Marked by Remark
able Allied Gains
Everywhere.

The tremendous losses in killed and
prisoners which have been sustained
by the Turkish and Bulgarian armies
the past week bids fair to put those
nations completely in the discard in a
few weeks time. Serbia has been al
most half redeemed and the British
army is now on Bulgarian soil and
threatening some of their most vital
strategical points. The Bulgarian
army is practically cut off from its
base of supplies and only immediate
and overwhelming help can save it.
The Turkish army in the Holy Land
is annihilated and the whole of Asia
Minor will soon be taken by the Brit
ish and French and their Mohammedan
allies.
On the western front the American
and French armies have made big
drive north and east of Verdun cap
turing many towns and hundreds OF
square miles Of territory that the Huns
have held for four years; also thous-
ands of prisoners and many guns. To
the north the British and French con-
tinue their advance slowly but surely
in the face of heavy Hun counter-at-
tacks and are fastening their grip
gradually about st. Quentin and Cam
bria. Everything but the weather is
propitious for closing up the accounts
with the unspeakable Huns this year.

On Exhibit.

The side shows at the Sells-Floto
circus attracted larger crowds than
ever this year as people who knew how
Tam and Bon utilized everything they
owned wanted to see how the demo-
cratic party would look in a side show
alongside of the two-headed man,
Siamese twins, fat lady, man eating
snakes, etc. 1t was there alright and
was announced as n new animal-a
cross between donkey and a zebra
tame enough to eat out of Tam and
Bon's hands. 1t had few of the traits
of the old time Missouri mule that re-
presented the party in the old days,
but it sure had some stripes. We did
not have time to count them but there
were said to be one for each time
"Honestjohn" Shafroth changed his
party and Ed Heating voted against
the government. But why be a side
show to the Post when they could put
up a better themselves. Hubbard has

Ring Robinson could back the lizard
woman off the boards as freaks. While
no python that ever lived could swal-
low men like McAdoo swallows jobs.

the money to see Tom lyman stand on

The Editors Pants.

Lives of editors remind US
Honest men don't get a chance.
The more we work there grows behind
Bigger patches on our pants.
On our pants once new and glossy
Now are stripes of different hue,
All because subscribers linger
And won't pay up what is due.
Let us then be up and doing,
Send your mite, however small,
Or when the SHOWS of winter striks us
We will have no pants at all.-Ex.

Riots on the Increase
in All Parts of Bohemia;
Kohlin De6es Austrians

London, June l.. - british ad-
miralty per Wireless Press) Riots
and internal disorders of all kinds
are increased in Bohemia. A Vienna
newspaper says that what is hap
pening to-day in Bohemia resembles
the Lombardi and Venetian uprisings
in 1S4S, except that to-day the en-
pire is hampered by her engagements
in war from which she does not
see way of escape.
At Chozen, crowds, exasperated by
police brutality, set fire to barracks
and to the city hall. where the
mounted police were lodged. Eight
of the policemen were burned to
death.
At Kolin. the people pulled down
the Austrian and raised the Bohe-
mian flag. Public buildings have
been burned at Tabor and other
towns in Bohemia. and in OlmutZ,
Moravia. At Prague, the offices of
the German newspapers were sacked.
The Prague correspondent of the
Stuttgart ''Neueste Nachrichten'
telegraphed to his newspaper that
the events of last Sunday at Prague
exceeded in gravity all the previous
demonstrations.
The Croatian press reports that
martial law has been proclaimed in
Bohemia, that rioting has occurred
! in various towns, and that the Italo-
Slav entente is daily becoming
stronger.

COnG1nued from First rage.
similar plants, however, are thriving
exceedingly well.
Dauphin county's yield of straw
berries this year will be unsurpassed
by those of any recent years. Mar
kets to-day were well supplied with
the berries, both large and luscious.
Old attendants at the markets affirm
that never in recent years have they
seen the market so well filled with
the berries at this time of year.
Lovers of apples will be obliged
to economize on the Dauphin county
p; oduct this year. Only foreign
products will keep them we'll sup
piled. The late SHOWS and other cold
weather this year hurt the opening
buds and killed many of them. Espe-
cially has the early product been
affected. Only fifty per cent. crop
can be expected in the county.
Unripened cherries cluster the
trees in large numbers, but many
of them are affected with the brown
rot as a result of the extremely wet
weather of this year. AS a conse-
quence, while now the trees are
much fuller than they ordinarily are,
much of the fruit will be lost. A
normal crop, however, may be ex-
pected.
High-grown peaches in Dauphin
county give promising indications,
but the low-grown product is a de-
cided failure. The late SHOWS killed
practically all the buds and young
fruit of the latter trees. However,
fair crop is n store for the county,
although it will be somewhat below
normal. The crop of pears is eX-
pected to reach normal
