WEATHERMAN IS BEHAVING SPLENDIDLY

Thursday night was quite cool, but today is bright and warm. This is ideal weather for cutting oats and for preparing the oats and wheat for threshing. Corn continues to grow and most fields are in tassel. Everybody keep busy and with splendid cooperation with the Yank soldiers, the weatherman and the- rest of us, Kaiser Bill and his gang of heathens, are sure to come to a quick and most ignominous end.

YOUNG PEOPLE ENJOY DANCE AT THE ARMORY

Twenty-eight couples of young people enjoyed a nice dance at the Armory Thursday night. This was one of the largest and most delightful dances that has been given here for some time. A number of out-of-town young people were present. The music was furnished by Rensselaer’s ten-piece orchestra and the talent made a great hit with the young dancers. Miles Whorrall, of Brook, has purchased the ten acre tract of land just north the Riverside Park. The land formerly belonged to Charles W. Spencer, but it is reported that he had traded it to a party for some Michigan land. The deal was handled by A. S. Laßue, of this city, and it is understood that $4,500.00 was paid for the land.

LT. ROOSEVELT SAVED, CABLE TO FATHER

Oyster Bay, July 19.—News that Quentin Roosevelt, son of Col. Roosevelt, has been received here from France. It is assumed that Lieut. Roosevelt was saved behind the German lines. Lieut. Roosevelt was forced to land two days ago, his companions of the air reporting that from all appearances he had been killed. It now develops that Lieut Roosevelt was seen to land safely by one of his colleagues in the aviation corps. The following cablegram was received at the Roosevelt home tonight from Dr. Richard Derby, who married a sister of the young aviator: “A companion aviator confident Quentin landed unhurt. lam convalescing here with Eleanor, Archie and Kermit.”

WAR SUMMARY.

The second day of the FrancoAmerican counter offensive between the Aisne and the Marne opens .with the allied armies still advancing, and the German in the Chateau Thierry salient in imminent danger of capture or annihilation. The allies already have Soissons in their grasp, having seized the heights on the west and south of the city, have captured thousands of prisoners (the Americans alone are credited with more than 4,000), hundreds of machine guns and scores of cannon. Twentyfour French towns and villages had been redeemed from the enemy early today, Late yesterday, Gen. Foch ordered an advance in the Champagne sector, to the east of Rheims, which netted his armies two villages in the initial phases. The Franco-Italian troops to the west of the besieged cathedral city are fighting gallantly to hold back the enemy until the operations to the north and east force the apparently inevitable German retreat. The situation as a whole looks exceedingly bright for the allies although it is as yet too early to make predictions. Berlin officially admits that “the French” have made gains between the Aisne and the Marne and also admits that the German reserves have been thrown into action. If the present allied advance continues to develop the time would seem ripe for a British stroke in Flanders, where a notable increase in heavy raiding activity has shown that the battle situation is “boiling up.”

EDWARD HONAN NOW A FIRST SERGEANT

Mrs. and Mrs. E. P. Honan, of this city, are greatly pleased to be advised by their son, Edward, that he has been appointed a First Sergeant in the 2,10 th Field Signal Battalion at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

PERSHING IN PERSON COMMANDED TROOPS

London, July 19.—The Daily Sketch says:• “One of the things which has impressed the allied high command has been the magnificent resistance of the Americans. On the left of the Marne battle line, where Gen. Pershing himself was in command for a time, the Americans surpassed themselves. ? - “It Was really the first big experience in battle for many of them and there was a total absence of the stage fright that might have been expected.” Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hemphill, of Piper City, Hl., are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. James H.
