her marketing to a business basis. It
IS a waste of time and money to go
to market every day. A good mana
ger can buy all the food necessary for
a week In two or at most three visits
to the market each week. Set a spe-
cial time to plan the marketing. First
consult the pantry and refrigerator
to see what foods and staples are
needed. and note them down. Next
decide what fresh fruits and vegeta-
bles. meat, or fish are wanted for the
next two or three days and note them
down. Make q daily study of the
local market list. Write down the
foods needed, and also the staple
household supplies such as soap,

in the Allied hands.

III tnc allleu HuluS.
The center about Ressons-S -Sur-M -Matz,
where the Germans made their most
obstinate efforts and formed pocket
extending southeastward, is the only
part of the line against which the
Germans have been able to report n
real gain. Their intention is to try to
reach the banks of the Disc and
threaten the Allied salient which ex-
tends to the vicinity of Noyon.
The Germans knew when they OPEN
ed the attack that their task would
be difficult. Therefore, they sent in
to the fray only chosen divisions,
which had been specially trained for
the assault.
1t is estimated that they engaged
approximately twenty divisions on the
front line for the first shock.
The latest official communication
from the German war Office says ad-
ditional ground has been gained by
the Germans southwest of Noyon
against newly brought up French re-
Inducements and that the Germans
have taken about 5000 prisoners and
some guns. Near Bussares, northwest
of Chateau Thierry the Americans and
French again have delivered strong
attacks against the Germans and
taken more ground They also cap
tured number of prisoners and ma
chine guns.
On the remainder of the front in
France and Belgium the attacks have
been of minor nature, although
south of the Somme the British near
Bouzencourt have carried out an op-
Grafton which Strengthened out
threatening salient that saggcd in
their line.
As the Austrians continue to bring
large forces of men behin[ their lines
in the Italian theater, the artillery
activity and raiding operations are
daily increasing. Throughout the
mountain region from Tonale to the
Brenta river and along the lower
reaches of the Piave river the guns of
both sides are engaged in violent
duels. Numerous surprise attacks
have been attempted by the Austrians
on various sectors, but all of them
were successfully repulsed. Aerial
operations on large scale also are
in progress and fights in the air are
of daily occurrence. Large quantities
of explosives have been dropped on
enemy positions by the Italians and
a number of enemy aircraft have been
shot down.
In the Macedonia theater there al
so has been an increase in the artil-
lery activity, the enemy bombarding
the Allied lines on both sides of the
Vardar river. On the part of the front
held by the Serbians the artillery fire
has been unusually severe.
Official announcement has been

officers, men, nurses, women of the
medical corps and civilians were kill
ed up to June / by German air raid

persons were wounded in these at

JOHN ". LUMAN
At One Time One of This City's Most
Popular MotOrmcn Dies at
Newport.

Who does not remember happy,
jolly "Jum" Luman?
A number of years ago, in fact,
when Maysvile's pride carried it to
street cars,-the mule moved-John
w. Luman was one of the front-end
men.
When they changed hands and were
converted to the invisible mule power
John Luman was there at the con-
troller.
And for many years, in and out OF
season, his familiar figure was almost
q fixture.
But he saw bigger things, and went
to Newport, where he took charge OF
controller on the electric lines there
and served faithfully all these years
up to few weeks ago, when he was
compelled to give up and take his
bed, where he gradually grew worse
until Sunday when his spirit took its
fight to that bourne from whence nc
traveller returns.
John w. Luman was born and rear
ed in this city, and was AZ years OF
age.
He married Miss Kate Wheeler, to
which union a daughter was born
who, with her mother, survive.
The funeral will occur this after
noon at his late home, 43O West Ele-
venth street, Newport.
Several relatives and numerous
friends are survivors in this city.

With the French Army in France,
June 1O-At the conclusion of the first
"a hours of the new battle between
Montdidier and the Disc, the impress
sion gained is that the powerful Ger
man smash has not brought the enemy
the result he expected The Allied
line is bent in the center quite insig-
nificantly and the resistance the
French are offering on the actual po-
sition of the combat, appears to be ef-
ficacious.
Extreme violence was the dominant
note of the battle on the first day and
desperate assaults with huge masses
of troops, seem likely to continue for
at least some days.
With the concentration of troops,
such as the Germans had been en-
abled to bring into the line at the
point chosen for the attack, it was
physically impossible for the defend
ers to resist in their advanced posi-
tons.
When the masses of German infan-
try came over, the Entente Allied
troops, spread lightly in the forward
works, fell back coolly. fighting yard
by yard to the actual line of resist
ance. They held back the enemy just
sufficiently to make him show his
strength and to permit the main body
of the defenders to make the proper
disposition to meet him.
Only at one point was the real
French line forced to recede and that
was in the neighborhood of Ressons-
Sur-Matz
After the German infantry has
started, four hours of the most in
tense fighting had brought them only
partly across the Allied advance zone.
They were battered thoroughly by the
Allies artillery whose target was so
plain that the enemy's losses must
have been frightful, with very little
to compensate him for his sacrifices.
With the French Army in France,
June 10-(Noon)-Fighting in this
war probably never has been more
severe than that going on today, in
the great battle of French and Ger
man armies between Montdidier and
Noyon. The Germans attacking on a
ground where the Allies we're ready
to receive the. shock have found them
selves thrown into a slaughter house

Draft Board Desires Names
and Dates of Enlistment
for State Roster.

For the purpose of keeping a statis-
tical record of all enlistments, both
voluntary and draft in the army, navy
and marine corps from Idaho county,
Adjutant General Chas. s. Moody, of
the state Of Idaho, has notified the
local draft board to furnish from the
records or other sources of information
complete tabulation of such enlist
ments, with the dates as nearly as
possible of the enlistment, and to fur
nish the adjutant general Office during
each fifteen day period thereafter until
the 18th of December, a similar list.
The local board has complete records
of all draft men only, and will be un-
able to furnish the information desired
unless relatives of the boys who have
voluntarily enlisted come forward with
the information.
Enlistments from the several coun-
ties will be made part of the adult
ant generals biennial report. and ii is
earnestly hoped that no son of Idaho
county who has gone to the colors will
will be overlooked.
The report of the adjutant general
this year is intended to be statistical
history of Idahos activity in the war,
so that ii may go down to posterity as
a written evidence of what our boys
did in the worlds crisis
Experience has proven that we have

authorities everywhere recognize the
very close relation between its spread
ana over crowded homes. While it is
not always possible, especially In times
Ike the present, to avoid such over
crowding, people should consider the
health danger and make every effort
to reduce the home overcrowding to a
minimum. The value of fresh air
through open windows can not be over
emphasized.
Where crowding is unavoidable, as In
street cars, care should be taken to
keep the face so turned as not to inhale
directly the air breathed out by
another person.
1t is especially important to beware
OF the person who coughs or sneezes
without covering his mouth and nose.
1t also follows that one should keep
out of crowds and stuffy places as much
as possible, keep homes, offices and
workshops well aired, spend some time
out of doors each day, walk to work if
at all practicable-in short make every
possible effort to breathe as much pure
air as possible.
Cover up each cough and sneeze.
