here and they are soon done with har-
vest as suppose you are By this time.

Another matter that was brought to

Warren five coops Of chickens which he
sold to the Warren Creamery Company
and received check for $133. 60 in pay

a side line with Mr.. Howard, as it is
with most farmers, but it would seem

WHAT is VACHER-BALM?

Some years ago a vegetable wax
was discovered that has the power to
quiet nerves, and thus stop inflamma'
with extracts that destroy disease
germs and prevent infection. We
make this compound into salve, with
the result that we have a local rem.
edy that promptly relieves practically
all kinds of pains. such as Rheuma-
tism, Neuralgia, TOothache, Earache,
Sprains. Burns. BOils, etc.
This salve Is obviously also the best
thing for Catarrh and Group; in fact
Its quick action in the latter danger
Gus complaint is simply marvellous
and being harmless. 1t can be used in.
ternally for Collie. etc.
OF course the success Of Vacher-
Balm caused many limitations to ap-
pear, so be sure you get the genuine
which has the signature of +. w.
VACHER on every package. 1t is put
up in 25c and SOC Jars. and DC tubes.
IF you have never tried Vacher-Balm

ST. M|H|EL TAKEN
BY YANK TROOPS
ATTACK WAS so SUDDEN GER
MANS WERE TAKEN OFF FEET
-RESISTANCE NOT STRONG.
$4,000 PRISONERS CAPTURED
Gen. Pershins's Forces in Their At
tacks On Southern Side of st. Mi
hiel Salient Have Advanced For
Distance of Eight Miles.

Paris.-The St. Mihiel salient has
been reduced.
The Americans renewed their at
tack on the St. Mihiel front at dawn.
Twelve thousand prisoners have
been taken and more are coming in.
The railway from Verdun to Com
mercy. TOul and Nancy now is open
to the entente allies.
All the villages in the st. Mihiel ss-
lient were captured by the Americans
and the front in this sector was re-
duced from some 40 miles to a little
under 20 miles.
The latest news from the st. Mihiel
sector shows that the battle line now
runs directly from Pagny on the Mo-
selle river to Nationwide and then
along the foot of the heights Of the
Mouse. Pagny, a town on the Moselle
river, Is on the western border of Ger
many.
The claim made by the Germans in
the official communication that they
foresaw the evacuation of the st. Mi
hiel salient and prepared for it for as
many years as the war has lasted
hardly is borne out in view Of the
number Of prisoners and guns taken.
At the same time the fact that very
few stores were left behind appears
to indicate that the Germans had pre-
pared to quit the ground.
Most of the villages captured by the
Americans were left in good condition
by the Germans.
officers of the American general
staff expected a desperate resistance.
The presence of Field Marshal Hin
denburg at the Metz fortress tour
days ago conveyed the impression
that the Germans expected an Ameri-
can attack and were resolved to de-
fend the positions bitterly.
Gen. Pershing's forces in their at
tacks on the southern side of the st.
Mihiel salient have advanced a dis
lance Of eight miles. The assault was
made on a front Of IA miles. The
Americans made rapid progress in
their continuation of their drive.
German prisoners say the Ameri-
can attack was expected but that it
was delivered so rapidly that they had
no time to put up a stubborn resist
ance when they were ordered to. Pan
mes, which was theoretically defend
ed by the Germans, was easily cap
tured by the Americans. The Amer
leans are reported to have captured
Vigneulles, z IL miles north of Xiv
ray. through which the former line
ran. Gen. Pershing's troops also are
said to have captured Beney, Reudi-
court, and the Bots de Thiacourt.
The capture of these places has
narrowed the neck Of the St Mihiel
salient to less than six miles and if
the two German divisions reported TO
be in the salient still are there, it is
decidedly improbable that they will
be able to get away.

SCOUTS LIBERTY LOAN WORK.

Each day the Importance Of the work
that was done by the Boy Scouts of
America in the third Liberty loan CAM
paign is augmented by the receipt Of
final scoutmasters' reports.
The total number Of subscriptions
now reported is 5SO.540, amounting to
the sum Of $67, 131. 860s
This is a most gratifying showing
because while the amount in money
is not so large as 1t was in the second
campaign, the number of subscriptions
secured is largely in excess Of those
secured for the second campaign.
This spells real service Of the highest
degree because in the third campaign
as cleaners after the reapers," all
blanket corporation subscriptions were
eliminated and the boys confined them
selves to soliciting individuals, and the
number Of $50 and 500 bonds sold is
q wonderful achievement.
