GTRMtNS MULTIPLYING
NUMBER OF AMERICANS.
Prisoners Say They Believe iO,0eo,00O
United States Troops Are in
France.

With the American Army on the
AisneMarne Front, Sunday, July y
by the Associated Press.)-A Ger
man prisoner captured by the Ameri-
cans today. formerly was baker in
New York City ard Lebanon. Pa. He
was asked what the German soldiers
thought about Americans.
Since Thursday, the prisoner said,
the Germans had concluded that the
announcement that million Ameri
cans were in France, was false. and
!! runors among the Germans on this
front are that there are 1O,O00OO0
Americans in France.
South of scissors American troops
today advance ki,ometers (about l
and IA miles,.
The allied artillery has found the
range of the soissons- Chateau Thier-
~ railroad, while American troops
are astride the Soissons-Villers Cot
erets railroad. AS a result. there is
only one railroad line in the hands
of the Germans south of line drawn
from scissors to Rheims.
Northeast Of Belleau. northwest Of
Chateau Thierry. the Americans early
Sunday. made an advance of 5 kilome-
ters. Some of the most terrific fight
ing since the offensive began occur
red between Givry and Vaux, the Ger
mans using artillery and machine
guns.
The artillery troops occupied Hill
9O4. commanding Chateau Thierry, at
daylight Sunday, and shortly after
ward were pressing through the city
itself. Progress east and north by the
French and Americans continued
throughout Sunday. The Germans
north of the Marne We're subjected
to terrible pounding from the allied
artillery today. They responded
heartily. although unsuecessfully
The allied artillerymen were: feeling
out Of the German rear lines with
telling effect. making the enemy's
rear guard section costly.
Prisoners captured near Chateau
Thierry confirmed the soundness OF
General Foch's plan. when they de-
clared a German retreat became i'm
perative on account of decreased sup
plies. Stores of both ammunition and
foodstuffs were becoming low. they
said.
Orders had been issued. the prison
ers added, to retreat to a point 10
miles north, but the indications to-
night were that the Germans would
not for long be permitted to remain
that close to the Marne, for the allied
thanking movement is progressing
steady Both the railroads and the
wagon roads over which the enorm-
ons stores for the Germans must pass
are so menaced as to make them un-
usah1e.
Streams of prisoners were being
taken to the rear all day Sunday.

and afterwards came Mr. Charley.
They were on the job all the time,
attended to their own business and
the business grew steadily and Sc
curely from the beginning.
The brothers soon became an I'M
portant factor in the commercial life
OF the community and every enter
prise that was for the development Of
the town had their support and i
was not many years before they en-
larged and the business increased
and they were among the commercial
leaders in the town
1t is not the purpose of this article
to trace the history Of the firm, bl-
simply to point to another evidence
of the progressive spirit which moves
these men, who have an idea that il
they are to sell the goods they mus
have them, and they must also know
how to handle them and to serve the
trade.
There is only one of the brothers
who is now a member Of the firm
of Summer Brothers Company. The
others drew out, Mr.. H. Summer
taking over the clothing store and
Mr. Geo W. Summer giving his time
to the presidency of the Mollohon
Manufacturing company, one of th'
largest and most successful of the
cotton mills of this section. The
clothing store Of J. H. Summer and
company is one of the largest around
these Parts and is doing a nice busi-
ness. The junior member of tho
company, Mr.. T. Roy. Summer, one o.
the finest young men of the town has
been called to the colors.
Mr.. C. Z. Summer is the only one
of the brothers who is a member of
the Summer Brothers Company at
this time. and it is of this firm that
we are now writing.
They handle groceries, hardware
and supplies generally and if the
article in their line is to be had you
can generally find it here AS stated
they operate on the principle that If
YOU want to sell goods you must keep
them in stock.
And with that idea in mind they
are now putting in big refrigerator
in the cellar of their grocery store
so as to properly care for the large
quantities of meat which they handle,
and keep it fresh and pure for the
trade They will be able to store
from forty to fifty thousand pounds
and it will be kept just as fresh and
nice as when it is first received
This progressive step.is taken for the
benefit of the trade as we'll as for the
good of the company. It will enable
them to keep their large stock Of
meat always fresh.

TO COMBAT PLAGUE OF RATS
VIII Exclude the Pests From
Shelter and Food.

A single rat, remarks David E. Lantz,
in a recent publication of the United
States department of agriculture, does
far less harm in year than any one
lion, tiger or wolf; but the big animals
OF prey are few, while rats are deplor-
ably abundant. There are possibly two
or three times as many rats as there
are people in the civilized world; and
the destruction wrought by this vast
horde of voracious rodents is far great
err than that wrought by wolves, tigers
and all other noxious animals to-
gether.
To combat this dangerous pest sue
cessfully, says Lantz, is largely build
Ing problem. Buildings should be so
constructed as to exclude the animals
from shelter and food. When this Is
done, individual and community efforts
to destroy rats will give satisfactory
and lasting results. The program NAV
be regarded by many as too expensive.
Will it be too costly? What do rats
cost now? If half the money now
spent in feeding and fighting rats could
be expended in wisely planned and
well-executed cooperative efforts for
rat repression, 1t would be possible
within a few years nearly to rid the
country of its worst animal pest, TO re-
at least 80 per cent, and to free the
land completely from the fear of bu-
bonic plague.
