Residents Of Capital Watch Flash Of

Red cavalrymen Progress To-
ward the ylstula.

Warsaw.-The front is being grad.
ually brought nearer Warsaw. Before
dawn, artillery flashes were visible
against the clouds to the north and
northeast and at times the bark OF
cannon could be heard. People on the
roofs Of the highest buildings watched
the gun flashes until the early hours,
Today's communique comedies that
the Poles withdrew further in the
center of the Warsaw front, asserting
it was for the purpose of regrouping
soldiers who have fallen back upon
the defense line less than 19 kilom.
eters.
But even mora serious than the
approach in that direction, according
to observers, is the situation north
west of Warsaw, where some 1000
Red cavalrymen are making rapid
progress toward the Vistula. The
cayalry's right flank, which follows
the wing OF the Prussian frontier,
has been reinforced by Red infantry
soldiers who have requisitioned the
peasants horses and are following
closely upon the heels of the cavalry
division.
The Poles say that there is no
chance of the Bolsheviki crossing the
Vistula either below or above Warsaw,
as the Russians have been doing ha-
bitually for 200 years in taking War
saw from the west, and that all pre-
cautions in these sections have been
taken
1t Is estimated It will require sew
eral days before the Reds from the
northwest reach the river. Mean
time the newspapers continue conf
dent that counter.stroke will bring
the results desired to free Warsaw
from immediate danger. The Reds,
however, are making a little progress
daily at various points, particularly
directly in front OF the city and
through the cavalry thrust on the
northwest.
Warsaw's defense extends from the
fortress of Novo Georievsk through
the fortress Of Zegrje through Radzy'
min. just beyond which the Bolshevik
brought up artillery, through Ceglow
to the fortress OF Ivangorod, so kilom'
eters above Warsaw on the Vistula.
In their westward drive, the Reds
crossing the Bug river in the region
Of Brest-Litovsk, occupied Siedlce and
reached Kaluszynn, Just east OF war
saw. Kuluszvnn is within gunshot dis
lance of the line of defense.

Officials Consider Rationing Plan for
All states-Daily Production 10

Washington.-Gasoline will cost
more than 40 cents a gallon through
out the United States by September
10, officials here believe, unless refin-
ers succeed in persuading joyriders TO
curtail consumption.
Officials are studying a tentative
proposal OF big refiners to cut down
consumption through an informal sys-
tenn OF ratloning to apply to all As
states. The system would be applied
entirely to refiners and be without
government authority, though it is
thought 1t will have the moral backing
OF government officials.
Under the system as now outlined
big refiners would agree to limit to
certain amount their sales to each
state. Dealers inside the state then
would be compelled to adopt some in
formal plan of rationing gas among
their customers.
approximately 100000 owners o:
automobiles, power boats and aero.
planes would be affected by the ra.
tioning system,
The gas situation now is more Sc
Tious that is has been for months,
Consumption is reported as between
100000 and 14,OOO,OO0 gallons daily.
Production, however, is running ap-
proximately 100000 gallons below
consumption. The difference repre-.
sents the amount by which the reserve
supplies are being drawn off. Re
serves now are reported as lower than
at this time last year, despite the fact
that at the beginning of spring the
stores were the biggest in years.
Gas now is selling at near 40 cents
in some paris of the country. Part
OF California recently was totally
without 1t, except for small supply
which was rationed among doctors and
trucks carrying food and milk.
Gasoline producers told government
officials It is practically impossible
to further speed up refining. Produc'
ton now is being conducted at top
speed and new oil Supplies are barely
coming In fast enough.

ABOVE ALL PRICE
There Are Things Which Money
Cannot Purchase.
Man Who Made That Assertion Proved
hls Case, Though Many Have
Long Held q Contrary Opinion,
Says an Exchange.

A group of men were discussing.
over the luncheon table, the purchaS-
ing power Of money. One Of them,
especially. waxed eloquent upon the
subject. ''There is nothing money viii
not buy" he said positively. One man
took exception to this statement.
Money viii not buy health" he as
serted.
"Wrongi" said the first, ''There is
many a poor man or woman who, II
they had money to pay for proper
treatment, would quickly regain their
health. In many instances, money will
buy health"
Happiness, then"
wrong again. In rare instances
money win not buy happiness, but In
the majority Of cases, yes. The pos
session of money means time for rest,
recreation. study, travel-many
things, all Of which give happiness.
I'll tell you leaning across the table
earnestly, "write down, II you can
find them, four things that money Will
not really buy, and for each one will
give you a thousand dollars"
The next day, at luncheon the one
who was challenged handed the other
a slip of paper. After reading it, the
man without bubble handed his
friend four $1,000 bills. This is what
was written on the paper
l. A Baby's Smlle-A baby's smile
can never be purchased by offering IT
money. To the soul that has so lately
come from the place Of the unborn,
the means of exchange of this world
offers no appeal. A mothers kiss, a
fathers caress, flower, a bright-col-
ored toy, may win baby's smile, but
you cannot bargain for that smile with
gold.
2. Youth, When II Has Gone-"The
mill will never grind with the water
that has passed." The flush of youth,
the luster of the eyes Of a boy in his
teens, the carefree happiness OF the
maiden. when the years have brought
maturity, can never come again. Ponce
de Leon in his quest for the spring OF
eternal youth realized that fact He
knew that youth, once gone, could
never be bought again. Money VIII
not purchase its return, even If heaped
in piles Of millions, and the spring for
which the knight so diligently searched
to insure against the ravages of time
was never discovered.
3. The Love Of Good Woman
Love. like baby's smile. cannot be
bought with gold. Many woman has
simulated love for dowry with
husband thrown In, and practiced the
deception successfully for years, but
true love, of the kind which lasts
eternally, cannot be purchased. The
love of pure woman is held by her
as the most sacred gift which she can
bestow. II is not TO be bought with
gold. or silver, or precious stones. II
is given freely to the man she loves.
4. Entrance Into Heaven-There IL
an old saying that "shrouds have no
pockets" Money, which will purchase
nearly everything In this world. can
not be taken to the next and used as
a means OF entrance into heaven. The
keeper of the portals Of the heavenly
city is not susceptible to bride.
There, at least, money has no value

"AGRlCULTURALLY SUPREME.'

In summing up the value Of crop.
produced annually by the Illinois
farmer II. Il. Young, secretary OF the
Illinois farmers institute was moved
to comment that "agriculturMly Hi
nois is supreme
He had figured that the corn croi
this year would fiji a crib mile long
a quarter mile wide and fifty feet
high, and that il would require train
of 350ooo freight ears, or one that
would reach from Chicago 10 San
Francisco 10 haul il, To grow this
100000 600 bushels OF corn, 100000
acres are planted annually The val
ue of the crop is put at $500 100000,
or about three times that OF the com
bined output of the states coal mines.
These figures would appear TO give
some ground for the observation, "Ag.
riculturally Illinois is supreme but
they are only part of the state $

There are 100000 acres OF oats
grown annually yielding 200,00o000
bushels
Three and a half million acres Of
wheat yield yearly 50,o00,0o0 bushels
of grain
There arc 100000 Illinois acres each
year devoted to rye and barley
Hay fields cover 3,o000o0 acres
and produce on an average 4500.000
tons of feed
Potatoes grow on 10000 acres to
the tune Of $20.00000 anuualiy
The herds and hocks of high grade
livestock add to the states wealth ap-
proximately $4,000 600
Working the farms are sl200oo0oo

of mules. Their numbers increase
yearly in spite of the automobile and

Dairy and beef cattle contribute
