their machine guns.
Further to the west the Americans
gained the aseendency over the Ger
mans and drove through and beyond
the town Of Epiedes.
TO the northward the most intense
resistance was offered along the ex-
tended German right flank but the
reports are that the Allies have made
gains and that the Germans have
been unable to halt the movement to-
ward their line Of supply
American cavalry was used at one
point IN the operation north Of the

Some have wanted to know il it is
necessary to have license to handle

Many have wanted to know about
buying seed wheat. To all who are
interested in purchasing seed wheat
will say that there is no ruling on
seed wheat. By this we mean that
you can buy seed wheat by signing
statement that it is bought for
seeding purposes, and that you will
not resell it, or use for any other
purpose.
Meat regulations are to be strictly
enforced All hotels, restaurants,
boarding houses, and other public

The meat regulations were published
in the papers last week. Ii any one

Hoarding and profteering is pun
ishable by fine and imprisonment.
Four inspectors from Washington are
now in our State looking after those
who may have desire to violate the
food regulations.
We all know it is not right for a

regulations and have few who dis
obey them. All those who disobey
willfully should be reported, and.
those who do not know. should be in
