of this organizat ton.
I "Certainly our two weeks Of open
| house have brought great JOY to the
! mothers, to the children and not the
least to the workers. Much of this
JOY we gladly pass along 10 the don
ors who in their busy days found time
| to rem ember our home people. To all
whom we could we have sent our
gratitude in messages by phone Or loy
many a thank-yol letter.
During the month of December
| there were 353 requests for some SER
vice for the Charity Organization to
fulfill, seventeen from public officials
twenty-five from private societies,
from various churches, twelve from
schools, five from out Of town, $50
from interested individuals in this
city and the rest from applicants
themselves who came for advice or
friendly council, relief, work or
clothes. We have come in contact
with lO1 cases this past month, six
teen of whom were new. Four of these
fprimary causes for application were,
fllness, shiftlessness, immortality,
drunkenness and vagrancy. Perman-
kent employment was given one and
1several days work apiece for six 9TH
|ers. Temporary weekly relief was
furished to eight families and emer-
|gency aid to nine. Twenty eight re-
|ceived secondhand clothing one in
|stltut1onal care, one dental care, and
one optical aid; four required services
of a physician
During December the acting agent
and assistant made 1874 calls and were
helped by friendly visitors calling at
nine other homes. There were four
teen business calls not dealing direct
ly with families and much helpful
results were obtained by means of
305 telephone interviews. $50 calls
were registered at the office, 100 by
those wishing to consult us regarding
the work the Charity Organization is
doing for it's families, and 139 by
those applying for council in family
affairs. These figures do not include
our holiday visitors, the children who
crowded the rooms SO that accurate
counting was impossible. Notwith-
Ftanding the fact that several dozen
came and went uncounted they num-
bered before New Years day 500.
Many others were expected the fol-
lowing week but, except for a, few
the prolonged duration of the extreme
cold
con q loan of $2,75, $3.50 has been
repaid and aside from the Christmas
giving the expense of which was met
by gifts Of money, seventeen families
were aided; the treasurer's fund paid
bills to the amount of S533S and the
special relief fund amounted to $91.60.
Seven school children were provided
with shoes costing S13.17.
BEST of all is the knowledge of
the aid organized outside and the bills
paid directly by generous donors. AL
though a great deal has been given
which can never be accounted for, we
have definite knowledge of S226.35.
This makes a total of $384.5O having
passed through Charity Organization
channels during December 1917.

Early hatched chickens are best

arels are ready for the market when
prices are highest and early hatched
outlets lay when eggs are selling for

Early Chickens More Vigorous.
Early hatched chickens give he
best results. They are usually the
strongest and most vigorous be-
cause they are produced from eggs
laid while the hens are IN their best
breeding condition. After long Pc
riod Of laying, hens lose something
Of their vitality and their capacity to
transmit vigor to their offspring, and
so late hatched chicks are, as rule,
decidedly inferior to early hatched in
Wgor and constitution.
Make Better and Cheaper Growth.
Because they are more thrifty and
vigorous, early hatched chickens make
quicker, better and cheaper growth
than late chickens. Weak and under
sized chickens often consume as much
feed as much larger and better de-
velOped birds, and still make no per
ceptible growth.

MRS. WILLIAMS CLOSES
SUCCESSFUL WEEK


The War Kitchen" at the john
son Hardware company's closed its
first week Saturday noon, after Mrs.
]. D. Williams reviewed the entire
weeks program to gathering of in
terested ladies. The entire week was
proftably spent in teaching, canning,
drying, and brining of vegetables as
well as giving instruction in many of
the household problems which puz-
zle many of our housekeepers- Mrs.
Williams is patient teacher, with
the faculty of making common things
interesting and knotty Problems
plain. Scores of women from the
city and country attended these lee
lures and demonstrations, and will
carry the messages they received in
to their different homes and settle
ments.
Miss Bernice Echols will continue
the WAR Kitchen" under the au-
spices of the Johnson Hardware COM
pany and will probably made 1ap-
pointments at several of the rural
schools, at the homes of some of our
farmers, for the instruction of the
communities in the county.
The canning club girls are urged to
come to the Kitchen daily and bring
their vegetables for canning, having
them canned free of charge and learn
from Miss Echols how to best con-
serve the surplus from their War
Gardens.

Two violent German counter at
tacks, launched by the Germans
northwest of Bouresches, were beaten
off, the Germans losing heavily.
The gains by the French and AM
orleans of the past two days were
made on the most vital part of the
battle front, where the German line
is extended nearest to Paris.
The American advance, which is
now reckoned at two and one-half
miles, was made in the face of most
determined resistance by the German
hordes.
The situation now looks more ia
vorable than at any time since the
latest German drive on the. Aisne-

PERSHING LED HIS MEN
AT CAPTURE OF CANTIGNY

(By International News Service.)
Washington, June 8.-General Per
shing personally commanded the re-
cent American advance which result
ed IN the capture of the village of
Cantigny, with heavy German losses.
This information was made public by
the Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee at their weekly conference with
the War Council today.
The situation on the Western front
is now regarded as materially improv-
ed. Not only have the Germans been
halted everywhere, but the Allies
have made substantial gains. 1t is
now believed that the Allies are
strong enough to hold the German
advance.
One serious menace, however. in
the recent German drive brought the
German artillery dangerously close
to French ordnance plants north of
Paris.
