With the American Forces in Ger many, Oct. 1.-(By the Associated Press.)-Single-handed, an American intelligence officer recently put down a "revolutionary" movement in the area on the Rhine occupied by United States troops. The first Americans knew of the "revolt" was when news reached army headquarters that in Luetz, a village of 200 population, a red bag had been hoisted and wvas waving in the breeze at the tip of a 70-foot poe hn the American offier ar rived in Luetz the "revolution," con ceivedl by a society calling isl "Frohs inn" (Hilarity) and composedl of young men most of whom were (is chanrgedl German soldiers, was well under way and none of the inhabitan ts could enter or leave the village wihout proper passport providled by the society members. Luetz, like many German villages in the hills, has no troops in the town, the army depending upon an occasional patrol to keep in touch with events. The American sumoned the ge meindevorstaher, or the chief offcial of the town, who informed the offcer that this was the third attempt of the "Frohsinnists" to rule the village and that the action was dlirected against the Catholic priest for whom the young men had a pronounced dlislike. The American offcer summoned the executive council of the society, pro videdl them with pick and shovel and had them dig up the flag pole amid the applause of the conservative ele ment of the village, lie instructed the burgomaster to withhold until further notice any authorization for meetings of the "Hilarity," gave the executive council a (dressing down and instructed the one German policeman to patrol Luetz at all hours on Sun days when most political meeting are held. Each member of the "executive coun cil" promised to be good hereafter andl none of the society membors were arrestedI. They agreed that the Ameri can haid convincedl them that "revo lution" didl not pay. The revolution had lasted six hours. CHICHSTERS PILLS 'rnlalAgun aaa. SIiGLD Dsn z BY DRUOiGISTS EVERYWHERE AMERICA'S GREATEST NEED America must increase its dairy herds. There are only 24,000,000 milch cows in the United States today, as compared with about 35,000,000 in 1914. Dairy cows by the millioi i have been slaughtered for food, by Denmark, Sweden and Norway particularly. All Europe's dairy herds have been sadly reduced. This country must provide and sell dairy products to all Europe. We need more than 45,000,000 milch cows to do this adequately. The farmer who increases his dairy herd now is not gi only doing his duty to the world, but is certain to profit in a big way. This should interest this community. Is it going to benefit by owning more and better dairy cattle. We have the land to feed them on, we have the brains to care for them and take the profit. This bank has the money to finance their purchase if our assistance is needed. Come in and let's talk this dairy problem over. ----m --- -- W. C. Davis, President. A. C. Bradham, Vice-Pres R. C.
