TOMATO BLIGHT.
1t seems that many farmers have
been having a great deal of trouble
with a tomato disease. With the
meager information at hand and
the fact that the writer has not seen
the fungous growth in question it is
impossible to say definitely what
the trouble is, but indications are
that it is a form OF blight, or wilt.
REMEDIAL MEASURES.
}. 1t is impossible to eradicate this
fungus after it once gets a good
foot-hold, hence the necessity of
striking it in or before the incuba-
ton period. The trouble usually
starts III the hot bed, hence great
precaution should be taken in see
ing 70 it that lie soil in which the
seedlings are 3roWn is free from the
disease germs. This may be ac-
compllshed BY Getting the soil for
the boxes from a place where a
brush heap has been burned; or the
soil may be sterilized with boiling
water, after which the soil is cover
ed with sacks Tor an hour 10 retain
. the heat. This is the critical time
to combat the disease. Affected
plants should be burned. A tiny
; spot on single Seeding may be
the ruination Of the tomato crop
Discard this plant at once.
Seedlings should be transplanted
in fields that have not grown toma.

years, using well drained, fertile

a leaf cut it off and burn.

ALLY ARMIES BORING
ION T%HREEFRONTS.
ROUTING BROKEN FOE

Paris, July 21--Chateau-Thierry pivot point Of all the German
positions along the Marine, has been entirely occupied by the allies.
Undoubtedly the German evacuation of Chateau!Thierry is the
beginning of a considerable retreat. Today the French and Ameri-
cans continued their hot pursuit Of the enemy.
Chateau Thierry was one claw Of the pincers by which the Ger
mans planned to pinch off Rheims. Then il. was intended to use the
city as a jumping off place for the dash at Paris.
Its fall is of the utmost Importance. It's possession gives the
allies a tremendous advantage for further penetration of the enemy's
positions.
London, July 21.-Renewed allied attacks between the Marine
and Rheims and in the Aisne valley on the eastern side Of the salient,
in which newly brought up British divisions are assisting, today show
Foch is now the allied idol. He has fought and won the second
battle Of the Marine. y
The latest gains on the western side Of the pocket between sos-
sons and Chateau-Thierry increase the German high commands diff
ficulty in supplying the thousands of men between the Aisne and
the Marine.
London, July 21-Britsh troops entering the battle on the
eastern side of the Aisne-Marne salient, the process of squeezing out
the Germans was in full swing all night, according to the official
statement.
Paris reported 10000 prisoners and 400 captured guns already
counted.
Following the capture of Marfaux, strong allied pressure was
exerted along the highway toward Fismes, according to front dis
patches. Desperate resistance was encountered everywhere, but con-
sistent progress was reported.
Paris, July 21:-Reports from the battle front today show the
French and Americans making progress at all points. Scattering
strong counter attacks, the allies are closing in from three sides upon
Oulchy LIE Chateau, on one of the Germans main communications
lines. N% 4

In telephone conversations, except in
emergency cases. Conversation In the
German language by three or more
persons Is also forbidden in public or

Between 80 and 60 requests from
German church congregations had
been received, asking permission to
use the language in religious services.
Permits werefrefused, as II is believed
n greater number of these congrega-
tons are able to use English. How
ever, the matter was placed in the
hands OF the executive committee, Hon.
Geo. w. Wright, Huron chairman, with
the understanding that in a few ex-
IRENE cases permits might be granted,

With the Americans on the Marine,
July 21.-American and French patrols
today crossed the Marine and raided
German positions on the northern
bank. The Germans were unable to
destroy all the pontoons OIL which they
retreated across the river.
American artillery in conjunction
with the French batteries exacted a
costly toll from the Germans in their
flight from the entire southern bank.
The German retirement began early in
the morning. American and French
outposts, learning Of the movement,
laid down a heavy barrage on all the
German held territory, south of the
Marine, east and west Of Dormans. An
other barrage dropped a continuous
curtain of shells On the northern bank.
German units were thrown into dis
organization. They attempted to flee
from the terrific fire, but encountered
still more while crossing the stream on
pontoon bridges and in small boats.
AS they reached the north bank the
routed enemy encountered still another
barrage. Some Germans, unable to
cross, are still hiding in woods and in
fields on the southern side. American
and French scouting parties are en-
gagged in a German military hunting
expedition, rounding UP the fugitives
and sending them in continuous streams

HEAVY RAINS I'M THE
BLACK HILLS DISTRICT

Lead, S. D., July 20.-Recent heavy
rains, which in some sections assumed
the form of c~loudbursts, have caused
unusual flood conditions throughout the
BLACK Hills district. There was no part
or the Black Hills that was not affect
ed by the heavy downpour, and in
many places the rainfall was the heav-
lest for several years. The Hot
Springs district appears to have been
the scene of the heaviest rainfall, but
the damage to property was not heavy,
measured in money. =
The supports under a bridge on the
Buffalo Gap road We're washed out
and the bridge put out of commission.
Because of the heavy rains the high
ways from the northern to the south
ern ends of the Black Hills are temper
arily In a deplorable condition, this
being particularly true on sections of
the highways which did not have rock
surfaces. Automobile trave and travel
by team over the highways was badly
interfered with.

RESORT KEEPER MADE
TO DlSGORGE HIS GOLD

Doland. S. D., July 20.-The Red
Cross was enriched to the amount Of
many dollars when the Sphinx county
authorities forced a d%isgorging act on
the part of the proprietor of a resort
at Lake Byron. During a patriotic
celebration at the lake the proprietor
had men stationed at the bridge near
his buildings and demanded 20 cents
form each person crossing the bridge.
notwithstanding, h a h bridge is a
part OF a public highway. Hundreds
of persons were required to pay this
illegal fee. Complaint was made to the
authorities, with the result that the
proprietor Of the resor had to dis
gorge the money collected, the authori-
requiring him to turn the money
over to the Red Cross.
