Conservation of Food Items.

Local Federal Food Administrator
Hoen has received the following infor-
nation from the U. S. Food Admins
tration:
The U. S. Food Administration looks
with disfavor upon the use of eggs in
the shampooing of hair. Barber shops
and beauty parlOrS are expected to act
on this suggestion.
A mixture of wheat and rye cannot
be used for any other purpose than hu-
man consumption. In mixture of
wheat with oats or with barley, the
wheat is to be separated if possible,
but if the wheat cannot be separated
and the mixture contains only a small
quantity of low grade wheat, the MKT
ure may be used for feed. If there be
a considerable quantity of high-grade
wheat in the mixture, it must be
ground into -four and sold under regu-
lations governing mixed fiours.
Sugar for canning purposes may be
obtained by consumers from grocers
upon presentation of sugar certificate
approved by the local food admin;stra-
tor. Such permits are limited to ten
pounds or less and the sugar so OBJ
tanned must be for immediate use
Farmers and others employing extra
servants end laborers for threshing and
other purposes, may obtain additional
quantities of sugar on the basis of two
pounds for 80 meals served.

sists of Mrs. Nj. L. Mooney, Mrs. R.
T. Curran and Mrs. w. Ell. Flarity, for

ONE of the moot significant and far
reaching results of the war upon the
nation has been that of enormous bond
buying. 1t was estimated that prior
to 1914 there were not more than 300,-
900 bondholders in this country At
this time there are probably 20, 900, 900
and before peace is declared there will
be millions more Hundreds of thou
sands of persons had never learned the
value of bond buying as an aid to fru-
gality, and are acquiring the habit. AS
they finish making payments on their
government securities they will seek
others. Madison Democrat.

a few localities enough rain has fallen
to keep the plants clean and fresh,

clouds of dust sailing over the fields.
Taken as a whole the tobacco is in good
shape, but much rain must come soon
if it is to be the bumper crop it prom

had such splendid start.
The growers are doing their part this
season by giving the fields plenty of at

to the limit, now that they have the

the scarcity of insect pests and free
dom from hail.

AMERICAN AIRMEN
INACCURATE NIGHT
PATROLS ON MEUSE

With the American Army North
west OF Nerdun. Oct. 20.-(By The
Associated PreSs)-American await
ors by inaugurating night patrols
along the Meuse have attracted
much attention among the airmen
of other nations. Under the pres
ent plan. the air forces are always
subject to call from the front, where
observers or listeners report by wire,
when the motor OF a German air
plane is heard approaching the AM
ercan lines.
As soon as one of these forces is
heard, the American searchlights
begin sweeping the sky. The Amer
lean night patrols arrive at the same
time. In event the German machine
is located by the ray OF a search
light, the American machines at
tack until the enemy is downed or
escapes.
On the night when the system was
inaugurated, five aviators started
seeking any German machine that
might be about. When an American
searchlight picks up an American
machine, a pre-arranged signal is
given, eliminating danger that the
American might be shot down by
his own men. When the airmen are
aloft, the airdromes are brilliantly
lighted so that they may return
without trouble.

Was american Troops Who

Wounded Man Tell His Folk

Atchison, Kan, Oct. 2l.-Crippled
in both feet by shell conclusion and
suffering from the effects OF being
gassed, his lungs, throat and eyes
having been affected, Sergt. Clyde
Duncan is back from the battlefront
OF France, visiting the home folks.
He had four months OF fighting and
it was on his final vault "oyer the
top that he narrowly escaped death.
Duncan says the inhalation Of the
German mustard cash puts one in
to 4 state of coma very quickly and
that its aroma is like the smell of
alfalfa.

The Germans. dsputing every
,nch OF ground in this region in or
der to protect the retreat OF their
armies pressed by the British are
favored by nature. The ground is
well adapted to the artificial Hoods
to which they are resorting and to
ambushes that are encountered all
along the front.
Wherever the enemy retires here
he is forced back against his wall OF
defense, these positions being essen
tial to tn easy withdrawal OF troops
and material farther north.
Fighting Continues Terrific.
On the front OF the armies OF Cen
eral Gouraud and General Pershing,
the fighting also goes on hercely'
the enemy ceding ground only in the
last extremity while completing the
withdrawal of his lines westward.
Gouraud's men gained important
successes yesterday east of the Aisne
and are advancing east OF Nouzi-
eres.
The German retreat, so far as the
high command is able to control it.,
is movement inverse to that OF the
invasion of 1914, when German col
umns pivoting on the fortress OF
Metz and wheeling TO the left, came
around Belgium in movement like
that OF an opening fan. The ian IS
closing this time instead OF opening,
and it is hinging on a crowded piv-
OF. while the columns representing
the ribs OF the ian, instead OF pursu-
ing the adversary, are being pur-
sued. pushed. hustled and harassed.
Consequently, the regularity with
which the fan was opened at the
beginning OF the war, and which,
according to the crown prince, was
fresh and joyous is absent IN the
inverse movement.
Marshal Foch withholds from
Ludendorff the leisure to operate
his elastic retreat at will, The enc
my is able to select only positions
where resistance is vital to the sue
cess OF the retiring movement. These
positions are for the moment on the
right wing in front OF General Gour-
aud and General Pershing, and in
the region of the Oise in front OF
General Debeney.

Enemy May Stand Firm
Behind "Hundh7g" Line

With The American Army in
France, Oct. l9-(2;SO p. m.)-(By
The Associated Press)-The most
competent authorities admit the
German retreat has thus far been ac-
complished in mastery fashion. The
question is whether the Germans
will be able to hold the vital points
along the Asne and Disc until they
get out of precarious positions else
where from becoming more and
more acute. Yet predictions OF the
immediate crumbling OF the German
line anywhere are considered pre-
mature.
The German now occupy land
north of the Aisne and the Serre.
Their second line OF retirement,
called the "Hunding' position which
rests its right upon the valley OF
the Disc and its left upon the hilly
forest region of Grand Pre- gap, now
is being vigorously attacked by Gou-
raud and Pershing.
Work on this line was begun in
the spring of 1917 and was contin-
ued until November, Then it was
suspended until September OF this
year. when it was resumed with
feverish haste with the aid OF pris-
oners OF war. Its length is about

IF that's the case the sooner you
are past the bad places the better. I'm
all right. You drift along"
Billy Louise speculated briefly upon
the note OF calm authority In his voice.
He did not know evidently that she
was more accustomed to giving com.
mands than to Obeying them. Her lips
gave little quirk Of amusement at his
mistake.
"You ca on. don't want a guide
He tilted his head peremptorily toward
the blurred trail ahead.
Billy Louise laughed little. She did
not feel in the least embarrassed now
DO you never get what you don't
wantT" she asked mildly. ..I'd a lot
rather lead you past those places thar
have you go over the edge" she said
because nobody could get you up OF
even go down and bury you decently
Y. wouldn't be a bit nice. It's much
simpler to keep you on top"
He said something, but Billy Louise
could not hear what 1t was. She sus.

He did not look away Immediately,
as he should have done, and Billy Lou
Use felt little heat wave Of embar-
rassment, emphasized by resentment.
Are you going far?" he queried in
the same tone he had employed before
"Six miles," she answered shortly,
though she tried to be decently civil.
i've about eighteen" he, said.
Looks like we'l both get caught out
in a blizzard"
Certainly he had a pleasant enough
voice, and, after all, it was not his
fault that he happened to be at the
crossing when she rode out of the
gorge. Billy Louise, in common JUS
tice, laid aside her resentment and
looked at him with a hint Of smile
az the corners Of her lips.
That's what we have to expect when
we travel In this country in the win
ter" she replied. Eighteen miles will
take you long after dark"
"Well, was sort of figuring on put
ting up at some ranch If it got too bad.
There's a ranch somewhere ahead on
the Wolverine, isn't there?"
Yes" Billy Louise bit her lip, but
hospitality is an unwritten law Of the
West, law not to be lightly broken.
That's where live. Well be glad to
have you stop there Of course"
The stranger must have felt and ad-
mircd the unconscious dignity Of her
tone and words, for he thanked her
simply and refrained from looking too
intently at her face.
Fine siftings Of snow, like meal flung
down from a gigantic sieve, swept into
their faces as they rode on. The man
turned his face toward her after long
silence. She was riding with bowed
head and face half turned from him
and the wind alike.
You'd better ride on ahead and get
in out If this" he said curtly. "Your
horse is fresh. It's going to be worse
and more OF It before long. This
cayuse Of mine has had thirty miles
or so OF rough going"
II think ia better wait for you" she
said primly. There are bad places
where the trail goes close to the blum,
and the .eva rock will be slippery with
this snow, and it's getting dark 80 fast

pected him Of swearing. She rode ON
in silence.
"Blue's a dandy horse on lad trails
and in the dark" she observed corr.
panionably at last. "He si'nply can
lose his footing or his way"
"Yes? That's NICE"
Billy Louise felt like putting out her
tongue at him for the cool remoteness
of his tone. 1t would serve him right
to ride on and let him break his neck
over the bluff IL he wanted to. She
shut her teeth together and turned he
face away from him.
So, In silence and with no very gooc
feeling between them, they went pre-
cariously down the steep hill (the hill
up which Marthy and the oxen and
Jase had toiled so laboriously twenty
seven years before) and across the tiny
dat to where the cabin window wink.
