TO SCHOOL TEACHEItS: I certainly would appreciate it if you would impress upon your scholars the necessity for them to gather up all the peach stones and hickory nuis they can and send them to me at ouce as the government is in itume\fpaie need of them to be used in making gas masks for our boys "over there." Please do this right now as it may be the means of saving the lives of some of our own boys fighting for you "over theio." If they are giving their lives all for you aurely you can do this little for them immediately. Won't you. TO MERCHANTS. ? It is being currently reported that there a:o some merchants selling Hour without substitutes. Now this is absolutely uguinst the Food Administration's rule. You must sell six pounds of meal with each twenty four pounds of whoat flour at the same time. Now this rule must be strictly carvied out to the letter. You are going to be watched closely and if you a'-e caught doing it you are going to be dealt with most severely. If you want to go out of business just let ine catch you. * SUGAR?Y0u can now buy a two weeks supply of sugar at a time at rate of two pounds per month for each member of your family. COTTON SEED?You must not store your cotton F*?ed on the ground. You are compelled to keep them in a dry place free from the weather ?so they will not damage. If you are running a gin and hew not the capacity to take care of seed with out damaging you must shut down your gin until y*u have the necessary facilities for taking care of them proporly. You must not load seed on cars until you have them sold, as the till in 11119 are over crowuea. you snouid haul your cotton seed meal home just as soon as possible as it will help relieve the congested conditions at the mills and besides meal is liable to be short and hard to obtain later on. You can help yourself, your neighbor, the oil mills and your government by complying with this. I am confident you will do it if you will just stop and think a few minutes. There will be a meeting of the "Fair Price Committee" at my office on Monday, October 14th at 3 o'clock. All merchants are requested to attend. This is important. .TOR fATlPTf TYA-I'IC!

JOE CABELL DAVIS, Probate Judge Dillon County, ?10-9-4t. a , 5 Germans Figlit Ferociously In an Effort to Halt the American Drive, 1 But Fail. j Fighting with all the ferocity of the early days of the war, the Gnr-j mans did their utmost today to bring' to a halt the American offensive. | Eearly this morning and in the fore! noon the Americans pushed forward! through a blanket of fog a yard at a time and later in the day when the mini 11 *U -a * - 4 uibi iiucu iucjf arove torwara a rur- ^ tber distance against the German1 line. I * Almost no change has been made < on the right near the Meuse, but on 4 the left the operations of the French west of, the Arugonne forest and the 4 Americans on the east defined more < clearly the salient in which the enemy . 4 still has a considerable force opposing the Americans who have been 4 3teadily clearing the forest of machine 4 gun nests. j 4 Again the Germans concentrated 4 thieir greatest efforts on the center in an effort to prevent the swinging 4 upward of their line to a point which i would endanger yet further that part i , o fthe army left in the Argonne' woods. Although the artillery action 4 of the Germans today was terrific? '* the volume was greater than yester-|? day?there was a notable reduction t of aerial effort. Only occasionally did the German aviators accept the'* challenge of the Americans today, t and even a bombing expedition to ( Landres-Et-St. Georges, where more than two tons of bombs were dropped 4 did not develop resistance. i 1 The contract in the forenoon was % not surprising because of the lowvisibility, but conditions in the afoaenoon were excellent and full advant- 4 age was taken of them by the French 4 and Americans, who carried out a hundred missions, ranging from sin?-( pie obser\ation to bombing the back * areas. The theory of the aviators is 4 that the Germans have adopted a pol-| < Icy of conserving their airplarcs, nr.- i ^ ing them to great extent only on cloudy days, such as yesterday. On * cloudy days they can fly by compass^ above clouds, swooping below them I ^ when occasion demands, then disap-, pearing above almost immediately; and so escaping all but momentary observation. 1< The American planes were an ac tive factor until late tonight. Beforei the fog actually had lifted, they weni'4 over the German lines, machine gun- 4 ning the men in the trenches and ha- f rassing the transports and artillery. Tin? and again the roads behind the 1 lines were choked by fliers who with 1 their machine guns dropped the hors- 4 es dragging guns and transports. < Thig choking of. the roads was accomplished without the loss of a single) plane. Of the few enemy pianos that;4 did fly over the American lines one) < was brought down by an anti-tank! gun captured a few hours before. Tanks were used again by the ji Americans hut somewhat lett extrem-;< sively than on the first day. It wasj, a day of artillery action more than' anything else. Each side sent hundreds of thousands of shells both of j high explosive shrapnel and gas. in-! < to the others territory. Repeatedly j the Germans gathered in force toj launch counfor-nttacks but always; with negative results. The Americans,i ' xmol ^.r ...? 1 ? > iu\/av ui nuuiu uu>c now n.iu t'xpvr- , ience on battlefields, stood like vet- j 4 evaiis here and there changing their! defense to offensive and gathering' ' in another tiny bit of ground between! t the in and the Krieinhide positions. i The Americans threw a flood of artillery fire into the German lines and mo\ed infantry up with machine guns < Through the woods around them and , tip to the crest of the high hill line they slowly edged their way for hours. When the top of the hill and ' ridge were attained there stretched < befoie them the narrow valleys on i whose further slopes are the defenses the Germans have fought so hard to retain. Miles deep in wire and a la- j ^ byrinth of newly made trenches, it < obviously was intended as the Ger-: t man's next stop. Much fighting for possession of the' * hill centered about a* farm on the M southern slope. The Americans had 1 1 taken the southern part of the farm j ( with a rush and from there the ope-' rations that resulted in the occupa-}' tion of the higher ground were di-i t rected. The Germans were forced to j < pay dearly for their resistance there! ( as well sa in the woods to the west | and at others places along the line. i < i THE NEW CALOMEL FINE < FOR COLDS AND (1KIPK. < < (jalotalm, the New Nauseates* Calo-, ( mel, Hrraka up a Severe Cold Overnight.
