1918 HEADS MOTOR RECEIPTS

SIX MONTHS’ TAXES YIELDS $1,162,000 NET FOR COUNTY DISTRIBUTION. Receipts for automobile licenses by the state for the first six months of 1918 were greater than the receipts for any previous year. Fees and interest minus rebates for the six months ending July 1 amounted to $1,232,360.22. The expenses of running the department were $70,235.31, which left a balance of $1,162,124.91, which will be distributed to the nine-ty-two counties of the state.. The largest previous total collected was in 1917, when the department received $1,109,113.26 for automobile licenses. The amount received in the first six months of this year is about three times that received -in 1914 and more than twice the amount collected in 1915. Interest on the funds amounted to <58,038.57. The bulk of the expense in operating the department was used for postage and license plates. The expense amounts to 5.68 per cent of the revenues. 1 Checks to the ninety-two counties will be marled from the auditor’s office in the next two or three days. The distribution basis has just been worked out by Pliny Wolfard, deputy secretary of state. Of the funds onethird will be divided equally among the ninety-two counties, one-third according to the number of gravel road miles in each county and one-third according to the license receipts' from each county. Jasper county will receive in return $9,848.83.

YANKS START FOR BERLIN

JASPER COUNTY SELECTMEN ARE OFF FOR THE WAR CAMP. Eighteen of as good men as ever left Jasper county, entrained here at 10:55 this forenoon for Camp Taylor. Most of these boys were off of farms, and all looked fit men to become soldiers. There was marked contrast beween Peter Mak, who must stand over six feet in height, and little Charles Kepner, who seemed to lack a foot and a half of that mark. There were a large number of the friends of the men at the depot and many found it difficult to keep back the tears that would flow in spite of the attempt to keep them back. It would be an excellent thing if the people who see the boys off could refrain from crying, as this makes it that much harder for the boys. Albert E. Glasgow decided to seek deferred classification and alternate Charles Keener went in his place. The eighteen to leave today were: Ora Earl Alvis, Leader. Jesse V. Finney, Assistant Leader. Ellis Mars Ott. George Fritz. Hugh E. Yeoman. Peter Mak. John Welsh. < John Stein. Curtis R. Steele. Frank Fritz. Wililam T. Stahl. Harry E. Alexander. Calix Paquette. Ira Albert Hurley. George W. Gratner. Casper Bestra. Peter DeFries.

FRIDAY WAR SUMMARY.

With his army of French and American troops raipdly taking possession of what is left,of the German salient between the Aisne and the Vesle, Marshal Foch has struck a new blow to the northwest, which threat* ens new disaster to the enemyGerman resistance in the angle between the Somme and the Ailette broke late yesterday and the French swept forward and when the latest cables were filed had taken more than thirty towns. The list includes such strongholds as Coucy-Le-Ville, Coucy-le-Chateau, Folembray, the lower Coucy forest and the western slopes of Fort de Conde. The French already have advanced over the old Hindenburg line to a point within less than a mile of Fresnes. This new drive threatens" not only to make the Chemin des Dames more certainly untenable to the Germans, but to flank the St. Gobain forest and open the way to Laon. Along the Aisne the French and Americans have cleared up the southern bank fro mnear Conde to ViellArcy, just south of Pont d’Arcy, and are rapidly mopping up the rest of the big salient. A Universal Service cablegram says that- town after town is falling before the advancing Americans. v v In the north the British are pressing forward slowly but surely, both in Flanders, where the Americans are fighting beside them, and in Artois, where German resistanse along the Canal du Nord is lessening.
