DAILY WAR SUMMARY.

The tide of defeat still surges heavily against the German armies in France and Flanders. On four important sectors French and British arms again have been successful and the entire German front from Ypres in Belgium to Soissons on the Aisne, now is more seriously menaced than before. French troops of General Mangin operating from the region two miles northwest of Soissons to the Oise river, and those of General Humbert fighting between the Oise • and the Matz have materially pushed forward their fronts, bringing them to positions which threaten to compel the immediate evacuation of the entire Somme-Oise salient from Braye to Noyon. Farther to the south between Albert and Arras, Field Marshal Haig has followed up his successes of previous days by a new offensive over a front of about ten miles and driven forward his troops for splendid gains over the entire line, capturing a number of villages, taking prisoners and guns and inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy. Still further north in the famous Lys sector, a general eastward advance on a front of more than four miles has been made by the British, who have brought their positions appreciably nearer the old 1916 battle line running east of Armentieres. Numerous additional villages have been liberated by the French northwest of Soissons and positions have been captured oh both sides of the Oise river, which seemingly make untenable for occupation by the enemy the important town of Noyon, which now is outflanked on the southeast and dominated by the French guns from the south and west. * On the south the French are standing in Sempigny, a mile and a half distant, while on the west they have captured the important pivotal town of Lassdgny, the key position to Noyon and the plains to the north. With the latest advances by the French east of the Oise there has come under the range of General Mangin’s guns the broad guage railway line leading from Noyon eastward to LaFere, thfe sole remaining line except for two narrow guage roads, over which the enemy may transport his men and supplies beyond the range of the French artil-

lery. At last accounts Haig was still pressing forward on the heels of the Germans between Albert and Arras, with tanks innumerable clearing the way for the infantry and machine gpns and the field artillery which was keeping close to the advance. The Arras-Albert 'railway already has been crossed by the British east of Boislieux-St. Marc and Mercatel, and south of these towns the new line has been pressed eastward in conformity. What is to be the effect of the allied drives along the 120-mile battle line from Ypres to Soissons cannot be foretold at present, but it seems highly probable that this entire front soon must be realigned. TMs particular menace to the Germans aside from that .in the territory between the Somme and the Oise, appears to be on the sector along the Vesle river from Soissons to Rheirns, which from the war maps looks to bei untenable.

STILL LOVES THE OLD HOME TOWN

In , renewing her subscription to the Republican, Mrs. Ida Sperry, formerly Miss Ida Chilcote, writes as follows: “I enjoy reading the paper. We have had quite a good deal of rain during the past two weeks, which have improved the crop conditions. Wheat and oats were good and the co?n having suffered from the July drought will not be as good as usual. Every ope is so busy with war work, there is little thought of other interests. Our Red Cross has a quilt donated by the members and it was sold and re-sold, bring over one hundred dollars, and is still owned by the local chapter. Kindly remember me to Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Parkison and both families, also other friends of my old home town, I love so much. Your friend and former classmate, . IDA SPERRY. Allentown, Tazewell Co., Ill.”

Miss Irene Howard of Remington went to Indianapolis today. C. Kellner returned today from a busines strip to Chicago. S. P. Hilliard returned today from a business trip to Chicago.

THE NEIGHBOR HOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY CO. AGENT LEAMING. Hogs Show Good Returns. $11.25 per head profit on a herd of hogs fed 78 days tells the story of a bunch of hogs fed by Erhardt. Weurthner of Marion township in a trial of pasture, skim milk, tankage and corn for the Better Farming asQ in ATI On May 29th, Mr.' Weurthner weighed up sixteen pigs and put them on feed in a bluegrass pasture of about one acre. The hogs were valued at that time by Mr. R. A. Parkinson at 18 cents per pound, hogs being much cheaper then than now. The corn Mr. Parkinson valued at SI.OO per bushel. The hogs were given the run of the bluegrass lot, fed a limited amount of corn, about 60 pounds of skim milk per day, Mid all the tankage they would eat from a self feeder. The hogs were sold at 18 cents per pound August 13, having made an average daily gain of 1.37 pounds. A summary of Mr. Weurthner’s. record is as follows: Receipts—- . August 13, sold 3,500 lbs. hogs at 18c $630.00 Expenses— May 29, 1411 lbs. hogs at 18c 262.98 Corn, 64 bu. at $1.00.... 64.00 Tankage (low grade) 255 lbs. at $4.50 .......... 11.50 Skim milk, 4,395 lbs, at 20 cents 8.79 Pasture 3.50 Profit 180.13 $630.00 Return per bu. corn $ 2.09 Profit per hog 1L25 Labor return per day, caring for 16 hogs 2.31 Mr. Wuerthner is second to report of a number of farmers who are conducting'trials to determine the value of corn, tankage and skim milk, for hog feeding. Others will report from time to time. Expert Assistance Secured for Shorthorn Sale. W. B. Krueck of Purdue has been secured to assist the members of the Jasper County Shorthorn club in fitting their heifers for the club sale to be . held in Rensselaer October 21. Mr. Krueck was responsible for fit-* ting the steer herds that made Indiana famous at the last International Livestock show and gave the duh members a demonstration last spring. Under his guidance, members may be expected to have their animals in the best of condition when they go into the sale ring. Spotted Poland China Popular! Almost the entire community of southeast Marion township has embarked in the pure bred Spotted Poland China business, a number of the older men having established herds some- time ago and many of the younger.men are'purchasing at the present time. “I like this breed because the animals are strong and vigorous, produce large litters and finish out well,” said one of the young men. Among the breeders are George Crockett, James W. Amsler, John Martin, Leslie Gwin, Chauncey Wood, Elmer Jacks and P. H. Hauter. By adopting the same breed these men feel that they may. help each other in selling, a very important end of the pure bred business. Rosen Rye Makes Satisfactory Yield. H. G. Bollinger of Hanging Grove reports that he had a field of Rosen rye that made 29 bushels per acre, in contrast with his common rye, which made but 18 bushels. Mr. Bollinger secured his seed from a firm in Indianapolis last fall, but found it badly mixed with common - rye, which tended to reduce the yield. He is well satisfied with the new variety and expects to use it exclusively. Growing Demand for Good Cattle. John Parkinson, secretary of the County Shorthorn Breeders’ association, reports a heavy demand for good breeding stock, and urges all Shorthorn breeders of the county who have any surplus for sale to list them with him in order that he may assist in disposing of them., Pickling. Pickling is an important part of home preparedness for the winter months. They have little food value, but add flavor to a meal. They should not be given to children. In pickling vegetables should be soaked in a brine over night to remove the water and prevent weakening of the vinegar. Alum should not be used to make the vegetables crisp as it is harmful to the body. A firm product is obtained if the vegetable is not cooked too long or at too high a temperature. Cucumbers Pickled.

Soak in brine of 1 c salt to 1 quart water. Leave over night. Remove, rinse in cold water and drain carefully. To one quart vinegar add I T brown sugar, a few pieces of stick cinnamon, cloves, and bring to boiling point. Horseradish, whole allspice or white mustard seed may be added also. Pour this hot mixture of the pickles which have been packed into glass jars. Cover with the liquid and seal promptly. Green Tomato Pickle*. Take 4 quarts of green tomatoes, 4 small onions and 4 green peppers. Slice the tomatoes and * onions thin.

PRIVATE ARTHUR KENNEDY WRITES HOME

Somewhere in France, AUg. 1, 1918. Hello Chet:— 1 Will drop you a line or two and let you know we are still alive, and that the Germans have not got us yet. But they are going to have a chance npw pretty soon. The war is sure not anything like we had on the border in Texas. I should say not. We are seeing more sights than we saw in Texas. I wish I could tell you about our trip across, and after we arrived here, but you know I cannot for good reasons. Tom and myself and Harry Beebe and Howard Speaks are all four together in the same regiment. We could not get into the same battery, on account of the fact that they had edough- We also have more of the boys from Rensselaer that you do not know 1 . We sure have seen some country. We put in most of our time traveling and have beep going ever since we came across. We are in a good barracks now, but do not expect to stay long. Do not know where we are going but we will be on our way pretty soon. None have been sick since we left. All have been in good health, We have been having good,weather over here. It has rained but twice since we. came across, and that was not much, just enough to settle the du«t. We dq not know when we will go to the front. Part of our division is up on the front now. Only wish we were there, too. Of course we will be if the war does not stop too soon. We do not look for 'it to last very much longer now, not over six months longer. The people over here are betting on it that way and I cannot see how it could last that long. All we can see here is American soldiers, French soldiers and German prisoners. We have a lot of them in the camp we are in now. The Germans are going back every day. Well, I only wish I could tell you more, but I cannot do it. We are drilling every day and we like our drills fine. They are nothing like the drills we had on the >order. It is more interesting to us to drill the way we do, now. We have two big Y. M. C. A.’s here in our camp and they have movies every other night ahd we have concerts every night and several other entertainments. We are all very well entertained over here, but nothing l ike the good old United States. I would not give Jasper county for the whole of Britain, though this country, cannot be beat for scenery, which is the prettiest I have ever seen in all my life. Will close for this time and will write again soon, so answer as soon as you receive this letter, as we have not recevied a letter since we came over here and we are very anxious to hear from you all. Your uncle, . PVT. ARTHUR KENNEDY. Battery D, J. 24 F. A., ‘American E. F., France.

HAIL INJURES DAKOTA CROPS

Reports have reached Rensselaer that a number of former Jasper county people now residing in the vicinity of Mitchell, S. Dak., have suffered serious crop losses through recent hail storms. In some instances it is said the small grain is not worth harvesting, while the corn can be used only for ensilage. It is the custom in that country to carry crop insurance, and but for this the loss would have been almost total.

VISITED THE BOYS AT CAMP SHERMAN

Mr. and Mrs. Michael Jungels, Mr. Barney Jungels, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Ritter and daughter Helen autoed to Chillicothe, Ohio, to spend Sunday with their son and brother, John, who is in Co. E, 333 Inf., at Camp Sherman. They left home Saturday morning, drove as far as Dayton, Ohio, going by way of Indianapolis, stopped all night at Dayton, and drove on to Chillicothe Sunday morning, reaching there at 9a. m. They found the boys all happy and in the beet of spirits. They were all busy, some on the fields training and some at other work. They saw, John as soon as they drove up to the training field, as he happened to be then near the edge of the field. They were all in full action training with the bayonets. , Mr. Jungels was surprised to see how nfftch our Jasper county boys had learned and how well they were getting along, for they have been gone only two months. The boys are now ready to be transferred to anlearned just wherefl— shrdhxcmfw other place, but it could not be learned just where. They have their new suits, heavy underwear, overcoats and heavy mittens all ready to start to a cooler climate. * ■

.They saw several of our Jasper county boys while they were there Sunday. They were all happy and feeling fine. The boys were all glad to see some of the Jasper county people oyer there. They left the camp ground at 7 p. m., drove as far as Dayton and stopped for the night, started out Monday morning and reached home at 10 p: m. that night, a distance of nearly 800 miles the round .trip. The crops looked splendid all the way. They have some very good corn in Ohio, but not much small grain. There are some very large hills near Chillicothe, and they are a grand sight, some looking like moun-< tains. Mr. and Mrs. Jungels are proud to have the honor of having a son who is so willing to do that which he is—fighting for our country: The Jasper county boys all send their best regards to their friends, saying they should all “keep the home fires burning,” for they’ll all come home. We wish our boys much luck and success. xx
