A PROPHECY.

The other day a New York actress
was billed to open in a new production
at Atlantic City. When she arrived
there she discovered to her dismay
that she had left her principal costume
in her apartment in New York. She
telegraphed for 1t. Her housekeeper
inclosed 1t In a six-inch envelope and
sent 1t special delivery.
Very soon, IL fashions keep on 60
ing the pace. it will be possible on oc-
casions OF this sort to send the cos
tune by telegraph and. perhaps. by
wireless.

OUR OWN FOOD HINTS.

There are various methods of pre-
pairing y breakfast food substitutes
which will taste just like the originals
and will have about the same food
proportions.
One is to save all lead pencil sharp
enings. They make an excellent sub
stitute when baked in the oven. IL
cream and sugar are added.
Then there is excelsior. Every one
has a little around the house which
came packed around the new electric
light globes. When this is toasted
and cream and paralyzed sugar added
it is delicious and nourishins.
The best substitute, however, is
made by running the old straw hat
through the meat grinder. Nearly
every one has few straw hats around
the house. One gents straw hat will
furnish enough breakfast food for a
family Of IL and O lady's hat will feed
ttree or four families for a week.

AMERICAN TROOPS
HIT TERRIFIC BLOWS.
GERMANS HURLED OUT OF VILLAGE.

The Associated Press summary
of its latest dispatches On the
German offensive follows:
The great double German
drive, in the Somme and Armen-
there's sector. which began We'd
nesday morning, has developed
into a terrific struggle. The, tide
of battle has surged to and fro
during the last two days. with
the decision still in the balance.
The British, having been forced
back out of Villers-Bretonneux,
launched a counter-attaek and
swept the Germans back almost
to the lines which were held be-
fore the present fighting began.
The French have been driven
back out of Hangard- En- -Santerre.
but are holding their positions
close by, while on the line south
west of Ypres, the British have
been compelled to withdraw
slightly before furious attacks
along the Metern-Bailleul-Wyt-
scaete line.
Wounded Americans are ar
irving at a hospital behind the
French lines in the SOmme see
tor, showing that General Per-
shing's men are bearing their
share of two burdens Of the great
battle.
Notwithstanding the frantic
preparations made by the Ger
mans for a continuance Of their
drive toward Amiens, and the ex-
treme violence Of the fighting,
their gains thus far in that region
have been very small. Along the
line from Albert, south to Castel,
except at ACCOMPLISHMENTS
the German assaults have been
hurled back by the Allied forces,

VOLUME
: BUY LIBERTY BONDS.
Slackers would do Well II they
Would Peruse This.

We are informed that the Lib
erty Loan Committee is being
urged by the government to cover
the territory fully and not cease
its efforts to sell Liberty Bonds
until every one has been ap'
preached and urged to subscnbe.
The authorities do not hesitate to
say to the committee that they are
"drafted for the work and are
not to stop until after the drive
is over.
We insert here some extracts
from these letters to show how
insistent and peremptory the
authorities are in this respect:
ITO do this I will suggest that
you call a meeting of your Com
mittee at once and divide the ter
ritory to be covered by each team
80 that each man, woman and
child shall be given an opportun-
ity to buy bonds-NOT HOW
LITTLE-BUT HOW MUCH"
If anybody refuses to buy
bonds who is able to do so, require
that they sign a blue card giving
lreasons for not subscribing.
From another letter we take the
Following:
I'm his conference with us on
Saturday, Treasurer McAdoo
stressed the necessity Of keeping
up the campaign to the last min
"te. He is particularly anxious
that every person in the commun-
ity. b induced to subscribe and
fhat the patriotic response Of a
portion of the people in raising an
amount sufficient to exceed the
minimum allotment of a commun-
ity should not benefit "slackers. >
Persons able to subscribe, but

which are strongly posted on the
higher ground to which they re
tired during the last days Of the
German drive in Picardy.
1T is un-officially reported that
four to six German division, or
from $4,000 to 10000 men. have
been hurled at the British and
French lines near Ypres. The
retirement of the British in this
sector, must have been small, for
there are no great gains reported
by Berlin so far. 1t was rumored
Thursday that Mont KENNEL, .
dominating height north of Wul-
verghem, had been taken by the
.eemy, but this has not been con-
firmed.
That only slight gains have
been made anywhere along the
two fronts which have been sub
jected to attack is proof that the
Allies are prepared to defend their
positions. In the last three weeks
the Germans have hurried up
heavy cannon to the old Somme
battle ground and have marched
many fresh divisions to the points
where they have been held for
the moment of attack. Their
failure to do more than gain al
nc. insignificant bits of ground
is one Of the most encouraging
features Of the fighting that now
is going on and which may De
looked upon as the third phase
Of the great German offensive.

who have not done so, should not
be allowed to escape doing their
duty, because their fellow citizens
have responded generously and
promptly.
"Remember that you are
drafted for this patriotic work
and that you must keep at it un-
til you get your honorable dis
charge on May 4th. There must
be some one in your district who
has not yet subscribed-HE IS
THE MAN YOU WANT.
These are some of the express
sions in instructions from those
in authority to show that slack
ing in the bond issue will not be
countenanced. Acting under these
instructions, the committee will
continue it's work and those able
to buy who have not yet sub
scribed adequately will be called
On by committees.
As the last quotation shows
that these instructions are sent
by the urgent insistent of Treas
urer McAdoo, himself. it would in
.dicate that the government is in
urgent need of all the money
which can be raised.
Under these circumstances it
is to be hoped that our people
will meet the committees in
sistence in the spirit of loyal
Americans and will each and all
subscribe to the full extent Of
their limit. We must all remem-
Der that we enjoy vast privileges
under and because Of our govern
ment, and now for the first time
it seriously calls upon us, we owe
it Our most earnest support.

A WAR MESSAGE TO THE RE-
TAIL MERCHANTS OF -
LOUISIANA.

You. as a retail merchant. are
called upon to take definite
part IN a nation wide program
Tor making the best use of mea
and materials in the conduct of
the war. The request comes from
the Commercial Economy Board
OF the Council of National De-
tense. The Board asks you to
plan for the elimination of m
necessary work. Its recommen-
datlons will make it possible for
You to operate with smaller for
ces and successfully meet your
own labor problems. When any
OF. your employees leave to join
the frghtlng forces do not replace
them if you can help it. To re-
place them would mean taking
workers from farms, munitions
factories, railroads, shipyards, or
the like, or from the already
short supply Of workers available
for these vital industries. IN
stead, the Board asks you to try
to get on with the. force YOU
have left. In many. eases the
reduction Of delivery service will
make men available for other po-
sltions in your store from which
men have been taken for military
or other essential work.
AS a means of doing this with
the least possible inconvenience
to YOU and vour trade. the Com
mercial Economy Board of the
Council of National Defense and
this Council urges the following:
|. That You reduce your deliv-
cries to one day over each
route. A7sss7'
2. That the privilege Of re-
merchandise be limited
o three days.
3. That cooperative delivery
systems be established.
One delivery a day over each
'oute does not necessarily mean
hat each automobile or wagon
hall leave the store only once
lay. Each automobile or wagon
nay make several trips a day.
'ut each trip should be over a
lifferent route.
These are definite concrete rec
lamentations that are being sue.
essfully applied to all classes
f business. The Commercial
Board also recommends
hat merchants adopt plans Of
heir own to eliminate or curtail
pecial deliveries and the hand
ng of needless c. 0. d. orders.
Cooperative delivery systems
Dmmonly save one-half and fire.
uently save more in delivery ex-
enses when compared with the
perations Of individual systems.
We will be glad to supply litera-
Ire on this subject to merchants
no are interested in it.
II these recommendations have
OF already been carried out in
our store and your town, you
nd all other retail merchants are
rged to carry them out without
clay. 1t is of the greatest i'm
ortance that you do his and do
at once. The object is direct
: and solely to conserve man
over and material for the ma
on's defense. By cooperating,

Substantial September.

When YOU first noticed the fact that
YOUR mother was sort of homely, that
her face was a little wrinkled and not
as plump and pretty as big sisters
and those Of her set of girls, you SAID
to yourself: People were not as
pretty in mothers day as they are now.
The human race is growing hand
somer.'
Years later you took a look from
another angle. and you perceived that
your mothers face was far away more
interesting than some OF the smooth
doll faces in sisters set. You learned
later that the difference in favor OF
mother is what people call character.
and that the character comes only
with years OF living. Mother was al

A HUN CHARACTERISTIC.

Germany is threatening to execute
American prisoners taken armed with
shotguns. She has been informed that
immediate reprisals will be made if the
threat is acted on.
The shotgun seems to get under the
German hide metaphorically as LITERAL
~. Loaded with buckshot at 100 yards
it is decidedly dangerous at closer
range, deadly. In the hands Of the boys
who have learned to snap quail in
coyerts and shattsr CLAY pigeons at
the traps pump gun becomes most
effective discoura ement to advancing
Germans and an active stimulant to
those retTeating. 49,.

characters and spirit this threat against
prisoners, a characteristic that will show

One of the worst punishments nova

with name and address. The people
will attend to the punishment.
Looks as tho the watch on the Rhine
will be kept pretty busy and also as
tho it will see something soon if it
watches out.
The war department ruled against
the proposal of the state of New York
to send commissioners abroad to take
the vote of the New York soldiers. It
says the soldiers are too busy. They
do seem to be actively enga ged just at
present.
The air mail project between Chicago
and New York has been abandoned be-
cause of a shortage of planes. Why it
was conceived at this timean under
the circumstances is not clear. \ plane

THE WAR IS NOT OVER

1t would be great mistake on the
part of the American people to assume
that the war is over because we have
had large successes. The wish of
the war will be done by Christmas
However. IL is no time to settle back
in the harness. We are nearing the
top of the bill 1t is true bul tna stiff
pull comes always at the top. We
must keep on pulling and pulling hard.
Now is the time to get into the collar,
not into the breeching.
Don't settle back with the pleasing
thought that our responsibilities are to
tighten Immediately, that bond issues
are to cease, drives for Red Cross and
other war duties are to end. We shall
be called upon again and again before
peace comes. And we must meet each
call in the spirit Of determination. We
must do our days work each day. 1t
is no time to rest as yet some day
peace will come and rest with it-but
that day has not dawned and will not
for many days and months.
The inclination is always to rest
upon a SUCCESS. But Fochs strategy
does not rest. Grants plan Of warfa re
did not rest. Success means greater
effort. Greater effort means that the
ultimate shall be attained sooner.
Our allies are not predicting peace at
hand. They know better than we. Oul
national optimism oftentimes leads us
astray. They see the way to peace
open along the path the allied armies
are opening up toward the heart Of
Germany but standing on the ground
they know that we are still more thar
800 miles from Berlin and that Paris
is less than 100 miles behind U.s.
So let us have but one slogan until
Germany asks peace on our terms, the
battle cry Of the French and the Brit
ish thru the long years they have bat
tied, the cry Of Flight, Fight. Let's
stay behind the troops. Their optim.
ism reaches to Berlin. Let's follow
them.

Well. the next morning, bright ana
early, even before Mr.. Happy Sun had
taken Off his cloudy nightcap, the
Old Red Rooster was knocking on the
Kitchen door of Uncle Lucky's little
white house on the corner of Lettuce
avenue and Carrot street, Rabbitville,
u. $, A., and maybe oil Of Germany,
for Kaiser Bill may say to Uncle sam
TN give you all of Germany and an
Iron Cross IL you'll only let me so free
after the war;" Well. as I was saying,
the Old Red Rooster was knocking on
the kitchen door, and I guess he had
to knock for some time, for Uncle
Lucky was very sound sleeper and
only woke up when his alarm clock
told him to.
Wait minute" said the old gen
tleman rabbit, poking his head out oil
the window. "Oh, it's you Is it, he
said. $50 out to the barn and get the
rake and start right in and clean up
the lawn. Ill be down in a minute or
three"
So the Old Red Rooster went out 10
the barn and got the rake and started
right in to work. and by and by he had
a pile of leaves almost as high as the
spur on his right leg. SO he sat down
to rest. and just then who should come
along but Daddy Fox. He was limpins
on three. legs and looked very sad
"Oh, no. said the Old Red Rooster,
but he never would have said that II
Daddy Fox had ben walking on four
legs, let me tell you. Oh my, no.
whats that" asked DADDY FOX
