The Austrians , suffered severely from the Italian and allied artillery fire and lost 2.000 prisoners. The Italian losses are reported as slight owing to the accuracy of the supporting artillery.

j mer positions. .

Czecho-Slovak troops took part In the capture of Monte di Valbella almost simultaneously with the announcement that France and Great Britain had given their support to the Czecho-Slovak fight for independence.

Millions of Acres Will Grow Only Fodder This Tear

By P. G. HOLDEN fr.3

THE need of a silo on every farm, especially every Corn Belt farm, was , never more apparent than now. -On account of the poor seed thousands of fields of corn will have to be replanted, and as a result it is estimated that a large acreage of corn may not ripen, even if frosts do not come until late. If the season Is a normal one the prospects for a big corn yield are not very good, and many fields will not make anything better than fodder.

Under these conditions, the value of the silo is evident. If we succeed In growing but a good crop of corn fodder we should not waste it when we can put it into a silo and preserve it with all its succulence. The silo means live stock and dairy farming in place of a onecrop system; diversification, productive soil, more profits. The Important thing just now is to build a silo. It does not make any difference what kind of a silo you build. The best silo is the one that can be constructed ct the lowest cost and pay the largest profit. The best silo for Tiny farm depends upon the location and conditions. A pit silo or a bank silo may be found to be best for you. They are adapted to many sec-

'ions. In northern states, where ihe winters

It cannot blow down or freeze up and it is cheaply constructed.

We must save every particle of our corn crop this year. This means w must have a silo. We may think we enn't afford a silo, but the fact is, we can") afford to be without one. A silo will double our feed supply, and more good feed means more cattle, more milk, more beef, more food, more money.

"All persons who are of foreign extraction are asked to march with the foreign section," Mr. Handley said. "It is desired that this section e made one of the biggest and most elaborate and a large representation of all nationalities is urged. Give this section the preference over any other section in the parade." For some reason the name of the Italians was omitted from the line of march formation published in The Palladium Monday. This was merely an oversight as the Italians will have an elaborate demonstration In honor of America and their own nation Fourth of July. All persons of that nationality or extraction will meet at Starr park Thursday morning. Rev. W. J. Cronin and Rev. A. B. Duffy will dedicate the Italian service flag, the American flag and the Italian flag that: have been secured by the people of this nationality. Rev. J. J. Rae to Speak. Rev. J. J. Rae, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, will deliver a four minute address at Glen Miller park Fourth of July afternoon, in addition to the program previously announced.
