There are no Germans in Chesterfield county so the pro-Germans seem to feel it their duty to take their places here. There are no hospital ship here to be sunk but there is a IRed Cross organization that offers an easy target for under-handed attack. From reports reaching this ofiice i is e* ident that the pro-Huns in this county are attacking the Red Cross organization in a manner to give the deepest satisfaction to o^ blood-soaked \on Trepitz himself. The weapon here used is a lying tongue, the same the Germans use when the torpedo is not available. A specimen of this ugly weapon as sent to this office is as folows: 'That Mrs. J. R. Millard, of Ruby, chairman of the Ruby Red Cross Auxiliary receives 25 percent, of the funds collected through that branch; Itl'*, and thnt Mr. C. C. Oonglass, as treasurer for the Chesterfield Chapter, ' ' draws a'salary of $HO.OO a month." * . These falsehoods are so ridiculous that they can only obtain credance when the greatest ignorance exists, bvit their Ilunnish nature is unmistukeable. People who know how Red Cross work is carried on know that ALL this work is given absolutely FREE 1 to the Red Cross. There are no commissions or salaries for such service. Mrs. Millard and Mr. Douglass in company with many thousands of other loyal Americans are giving of their time, energy and money all they possibly can do this noble cause in order that our boys may have every possible attention when they need it "over there." Most of the Red Cross nurses and Red Cross physicians who give up th? comforts of home and go across tin seas to care for our hoys, exposing themselves to the murderous under sea boat attacks of the Germans, are paying their own expenses from pri , * vate sources. People who have not a spark of patriotism nor on ounce of generosity in their souls do not understand this; they can not or will not believe tha people can be moved by any othci than a low motive of money-getting Any stories to the effect that coun ty Red Cross workers receive pay l*<>? such work should be nailed as a li< the very first time sueh assertions artmade. CL UB ROLL BOOKS CLOSE TUESDAY,- JULY 23D You must enroll before Tuesday.July 23d, if you vote in the D emocratic primary. This information was recently received by M. J. Hough, ^ Esq., chairman county Democratic ^ Executive Committee. This was a surprise to Mr. Hough as the printed "Rules of the Democratic Primary" expressly state the books shall close on the last Tuesday in July. It seems however, that the last legislature changed the wording of the law and this change was not made in the Democratic rules, as it should have been. Let all loyal Democrats pass this news around as quickly and as thoroughly as possible. It is very important that 7x11 good Democrats are enrolled. You must enroll before Tuesday, July 23d.

FRALEY, R?pr?Mi LITTLE GAIN RECORDED , j IN GERMAN OFFENSIVE The Gorman offensive east and west of Rheims'has had the brakes savagely applied to it by the strong resistance of the American, French and Italian armies. Nowhere has the enemy found it possible as in days tone by, to press forward' and tear his way through opposing positions to points of vantage chosen as early objectives. ? True, some gains have been made by the Germans but thev arc infinl. tissimal when compared with those of other attacks. Instead of in miles they may be reckoned almost in yards. And from some of the positions captured the enemy has been ejected summarily under vicious counterattacks delivered by the American troops fighting alone as a unit and Americans fighting shoulder to shoulder with the French. Tacit admission that the enemy hordes have been retarded in their assaults if not halted, seemingly is contained in the latest German official communication which in dealing with the fighting, asserts that the allied troops on the Marne front have delivered "violent counterattacks" and that to the east of Kheims "the situation is unchanged." The claim made to any success by the Germans is that there were some local successes to the southwest of Rheims. Important Ground Gained. The success of the Americans and the French give back to them points of strategic value on the heights dominating the Marne valley. The Americans alone recaptured. Fossoy and Crezancy cast of Chateau-Thierry and at one point near Fossoy drove back the enemy across the river and took a number of prisoners. Aided by the French they recaptured St. Ag nan, Hill 223 and I.a ChapeWe Mont Ilodon, south of Dormans, was ac complished. Throughout the region lying to the west of Rheinis, especially south of the Marne, the Germans made desperate attempts on various sectors to increase their penetration of the allied front, but where they were able o gain any advantage it was only a foot at a timtt the French meeting their onslaughts with the greatest bravery and making the enemy pay dearly for every inch of ground he took. Eastward from Itheims hard lighting is still going on, almost to fh? western fringe of the Argonne, but apparently meeting with ill success Attacks attempted near Brunay cam" to naught under the French fire while further east near Crones and Tahure, fforts to break the French line wen repulsed with hf avy losses. Germins Make Claim. The German official communication in dealing with the fighting Monday says the Germans took 111,000 prisoners. The French on their part, ar-reported to have taken thousands of captives ml it is known the Ameri cans made prisoner of between 1,00<; and 1,51") Germans. In addition the Americans, French and Italians have inflicted terrible losses on the one i.v oy the accuracy of their cannon, machine nun and rifle fire. Although the allied troops seem ingly have the situation well in hand, it is not improbable that the Germans soon will throw large numbers of reserves into the fray. They are known to have thousands of these men behind the battle line, especially northeast of Itheims. On the other battle fronts on'v minor operations are in progress, hu' on various sectors held by the British in Northern F-ance ind F'nnders the Germans are c".r? yi.?^ ^>uf s; .ritcd bombardments which may be the forerunners of early infantry attacks. !

Before these nurses were assigned some of our men who had been fighting in French regiments arrived at institutions where no one could speak English. A few of these soldiers not recognizing the language, thought that they had been captured and were in the hands of the Germans. Doctors and nurses could not understand the patients who therefore had difficulty describing their symtoms and making clear their needs. Where immediate operation was necessary it often was impossible to prepare Shorn. Now every American on reaching a French hospital is to be received by an American Red Cross nurse who attends to his reception and care. If the nurse cannot speak French, her aid interprets for the French hosni tal stuff. The aid also attends to correspondence for our wounded. The nurse and aid visit every American patient frequently, to give treatments, cheer him up, attend to his correspondence or to explain his needs to the French attendants. This plan has worked so well that the Service de San to, the Medical Department of the French Government, has requested the Red Cross to have ready such teams to place in every hospital receiving American men.

C. .June.?()win^ to the weather conditions of last winter, we have good reasons to bc1 lieve that the Red Spider injury to cotton will be more severe this year than it has been for many years. First. If violets and poke weed [ were not destroyed as directed her"- \ tofore it should be done immediate- t ly. Blackberry vines are also dangerous. Second. Reports of severe injury * are already coming from various parts of the State. Infestation Ren-jj ersillv untmHi* i? ? 1 oj/uiO) UIIU II I?S II'- I commended that discolored leaves be e picked, and destroyed. A convenient r way is to carry a crocus sack which r has been well moistened with kero- li sene, and into it the leaves can be a thrown. Such leaves should be thoroughly destroyed. If this method I is then assisted by showers of rain it u will to a great extent prevent dam- a ages. s Third. The field should bo close- e ly watched, and when the cotton be- 11 comes sufficiently large for the plants to touch each other, the spiders will v spread from every infested plant t! I causing the discolored areas in a cot- t ton field and subsequent dying of the g plants. Generally infested stalks should theref >re be pulled up when first noticed and burned. Fourth as a last resort the infest ed areas may be sprayed, using one \ of the following solutions, the spray I-' being directed under sides of the s; leaves. One galoln of lime sulfur wash to .r 50 gallons of water. If potassium 3i sulphide is available it may be used . f, instead of the lime sulfur wash at the] tl rate of three pounds to 100 gallons << of water. After cotton is grown it fc will require from 125 to 250 gallons Sj per acre according to the size of the h plants.
