A lot o: chintzes for the bedrooms were sen down to brb-'hten them up. a bn nf toys for the children French childret brought in from the war zone, tot young to keep on their gas masks. To day ten R-'d Cross automobiles art hauling to Red Cross hospitals ir Franco French children whose parents held in slavery in Germany, are noi being dumped every day at Evi-jj. oi th Franco-Swiss border. Fancy our government doing fiat foi French children. Yet it ".rt be dnn if the French morale beliiod the line; is to be kept up.

Hurling themselves at the tip of the salient driven into the allied lines by the Germans late in May, the Americans and French have won important ground near Chateau Thierry. The attack was local in character, but its success may prove important in the future operations in that part of the battle front near est Paris. The assault was aimed at the ham let of Yaux. which is situated on the south side of the Chateau Thierry- Pari road and on the northern shapes of hill 20 4. Yaux is about two miles from Chateau Th'erry. This was carried by the rush of the French and Americans, who also oc cupied two small patches of wood.s in the immediate vicinity. The Germans almost immediitely began counter attacks in an attempt to regain the lost positions. but their efforts failed in every instance. In th.e initial attack ami in their re paated assaults against the new lines held by the allies, the Germans have suffered very heavy looses, at least Ou prisoners having been taken by th.e French and Americans. One en tire German regiment is officially re ported to have bten virtually an nihilated in the battle Thrilling Air Battle. A thrilling air battle between nine American airplanes and an equal number of German machii es is reported in the Chateau Thierry sec tor. At leard three German plane? were destroyed, while two American machines have failed to return from the encounter. On June 7, the French reported that they had recaptured hill 204. a height dominating the city of Cha teau Thierry. It appears, however, that the Germans have been lidding at least a part of the height, or that they have, by an attack which has; not been reported, succeeded in oc cupying the hill once more. The al lied attack on. the north side will tend to make the enemy's position ii the hill !-:ss secure and may force the Germans to relocate their line from the Marne northward to Torcy. where the Americans have been suc cessful in several fights and have won important ground.

Puis & Gansemer, MURRAY, NEBRASKA Eritons Hold Gains. Rritish forces; northwest of Albert have been forced to fight bard to hold positions they took from the Germans Sunday right. A determ ined attack by the enemy at that point threatened to wrest the cap tured ground from th- Rritish but heavy counter attacks flung tho foe out of all but one of the trenches he had occupied. The French front west of the Oise and east of Rheims had been the scene of considerable local lighting in which prisoners were taken by th.e allied forces. The French have reoccupied the village of St. Pierre Aigle. southwest of Soissons, which they lost three weeks ago. The German oiricial statement of operations along the front says that allied attacks at various points were repulsed. It specilica'iy mentions the attack west of Chateau Thierry as being unsuccessful. Arthur Dean who has been at Omaha, where he has been taking medical treatment arrived home this a.Uernoon. :u --masarr Come and See The A 1 For Farm Lighting Electric Unit THE Alamo Electric Unit is just what you have always had in mind a safe, complete, economical, trouble-proof, simple, compact electric light and power plant.

Italian forces which have been gaining important ground on the eastern side of the Aiago plateau have suddenly shifted their attack to the Monte Grappa region east of (he Brenta river. Important Aus trian positions have been carried and nearly 600 prisoners captured by the Italians. Czecho-SIovak troops fight ing under the Italian flag, have tak en part in the struggles of the last few days in the mountains.

Our S ervice And What It Cleans fo You We Have a Joint Interest in This Community And We Wish to Join With You in Every Way to Promote the Community's Interests. In a sense, this community is like a farm it pays according to the way in which it is treated. The successful fanner co-op-crates with his farm. Knowing that certain s.oil elements are necessary to heal thy crop growth, he sees to it that these elements are main tained. The same principle holds good in community development. Our community is composed of two closely related elements town and country. They are both essential io healthy community growth. Ne glect or mistreatment of tdther of them by the other affects both it injures the whole com munity. Roth elements mu-t be maintained. Accomplishing this is simply a matter of si:nre co-operation among all ' us in this com munity. Our iia of our own part to pleVV for community good iu a business way is To sell only such implements as have the quality to give high grade results in the field. To consider good performance by our implements ai a part of our obligation. To sell every implement at a fair price. To practice the square deal towards each and every custo mer.
