LOSS OF SALOON REVENUE PARTLY OFFSET BY FINES When Indiana joined the arid ranks of prohibition states a severe slump in from taxes was experienced by Gary. Since that time, however, this deficiency has been made us to some extent by the unusual number of fines which have •been collected from violators of the istate-wide, prohibition law there. The loss through saloon licenses aggregated $85,000 per year, but at the present rate of drunkenness and severe fines imposed in the city court, more than half this amount will be recovered during the presefft year.

WAR SUMMARY.
While She state of comparative inactivity continues on the Vesle front the Germans have launched what is described as a local operation on the Somme in Picardy between the two sectors in which they started a retiremen earlier in the week. The enemy also launched a local attack at Morris in Flanders. .In the Picardy fighting the new British lino, occupied last week, astride the Bray-Corbie road near Morlancourt, the German objective apparently is to strengthen the line held against a possible allied offensive. In view of their recent withdrawals both to the north and the south, it is believed the Germans seriously contemplate an attack on Amiens at thi stime. Along the Vesle light local operations continue in progress, while the allies evidently are preparing to follow'up their recent successes. The fighting during the past twenty-four hours has been limited practically to artillery dueling, although some allied patrols have been thrust forward across the Vesle. It is generally accepted that Marshal Foch can drive the Germans back over the Aisne at any time he may see fit to open oh attack in force. An idea of ' the allied victory in wiping out the Soissons-Rheims salient was given by Premier Clemenceau before the council of ministers when he moved the appointment of Gen. Foch as marshal of France. The premier stated that during the allied counter offensive more than 200 towns had been liberated, 35,000 p isoners had been captured and 700 cannon had been taken.
GRAIN ELEVATORS FULL.
Both of the elevators here are full of grain and the delivery here is being held up on account of the shortage of cars. It look now like the car shortage may become very acute and may delay very seriously the delivery of grain.

But after a man has been married long enough he can read his newspaper and listen to his wife at the same time. The rubed are not all in the country. A man who is demonstrating a new collar in a window of a rtore in a big city can attract a crowd that will block traffic.
DOING OF THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

A woman knows that it is wrong for her husband to gamble. But she hasn’t much trouble in choking her conscience when he happens to come home winner. Every rose has its thorn. The hot weather that brings see-more skirts and peek-a-boo waists also brings dirty elbows and white shoes. It is none of our business, but most of the girls seem to forget that they are wearing mighty short skirts when they cross their knees in public. Some men spend the summer hollering because they can’t get oysters, and then spend the winter hollering because they can’t get watermelon.
THE TEST OF MERIT.
Rensselaer People Are Given Convincing Proof. No better test of any article can be made than the test of time and this is particularly true of a kidney medicine. Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood this test and stood it well. What better proof of the merits of this remedy could you demand, than the statement of a Rensselaer resident who used is usccessfully and tells of lasting results. . Read the following: Jacob R. Wilcox, a jretired farmer, says: “I suffered from backaches and severe pains across my loins. I couldn’t rest day or night and was tired and worn. out. The kidney secretions were highly colored and contained sediment. Nothing seemed to relieve me until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills from B. F. Fendig’s Drug Store. They relieved the aches and pains, I could rest better nights and my kidneys were regulated.” (Statement .given May 31, 1907.> On February 29, 1916, Mr. Wilcox said: “I continue recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills as a reliable medicine. They have never failed to do good work.” • Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Wilcox had.

CHAUTAUQUA OPENED TUESDAY
CHILDREN’S PAGEANT WAS BIG SUCCESS LAST NIGHT—GOOD CROWDS FOR FIRST DAY.
Our Chautauqua opened yesterday afternoon with a delightful concert •by the Rita-Rich company, of Chicago. These popular entertainers appeared in Irish costume and gave an entire program of Irish songs, stories and folk dances. Rita-Rich and Laura Worno proved an excellent choice for the first day of the Chautauqua. Last night the children and young people of. Rensselaer gave a very interesting and pretty pageant lasting about 45 minutes. This little play was a strong appeal for thrift during the war. It pictured America as a spendthrift nation but awakening to the need of economy and saving during the great struggle abroad. We were all surprised with the fine work of the little folks as they hav» had less than a week to prepare for the pageant. Their play was /beautiful. The folk dances were all well done and each one taking a special ipart in the play handled their part well. , Hon. W. I. Nolan, of Minnesota, was the speaker lart night. He is a prominent member of the state legislature and has been popular in chauitauqua for a good many years. His lecture “We the People” was a plea for every one to do his duty here at home. He warned us to be on the looukout for the underhanded- work /of the Hun and to have nd part in circulating the lies that do so much harm. Mr. Nolan holds that it is just as necessary to keep the home lines un-
Margaret Hall, of Creek 'Sanitarium, speaks this afternoon on *‘Food Values.” She is one of the best authorities ip the nation on diet and her lecture is one of the most important events of the chautauqua.
After the concert this evening Sergeant Ernest Chadwick will tejl us about his experience at the front. iSergeant Chadwick brings some of the equipment of the fronit line soldier, such as trench instruments, gas masks, helmets, bom'bs, etc. Mr. Bowman who was promised for tonight will come on Sunday night instead.
Wade H. Jarrette, who is spending a thirty day furlough here with his parents, went to Chicago today. Wade, will on his return to Borton t>e assigned to a destroyer.
Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Cambell, who have been living in Gary S 1". *“ school was closed at Newland, have returned to this city and Will make their home. Mr. Campbell will teach at Fair Oaks this coming year. Mrs. Campbell and the children will go to New Albany in a day or so for a visit with relatives. Sam E. Cook was in from McCoysburg today. He had received a letter from Edward Peregnne, who is with the Rainbow Division in France. He has recovered “Omanis -wounds and is now back in the third line trenches. The letter was dated July 17, and he said that they were expecting an attack. He had heard that 15,000 Huns had been captured the day before he wrote. _ ,
/broken as it is to hold the front lines •over there. Our boys in France will have a hard time of it if we fail to do our very best in their support here at home.
The music for tonight will be given by the American Glee club. This is a male quartette doing a fine variety of work that is always pleasing to the chautauqua audience.
