Many people say: "Why doesn't th
government do the work of the Rec
Cross';" There is n better reply t(
this question than to cite some of th
activities of the American Red Cross
Last August the American Red Cross
issued an order for an automobile tc
be given to a French hospital for cl.il
tlren of Toul. near Nancy. 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. These deeds of th
American Red Cross are just as mud
a part of our military policy in Franci
and Italy as though they were done ua
der articles of wax.

HUNS REGIMENT
ANNIHILATED
GEK3IANS SUFFER HEAVY LOSS
ES IN FIGHTING AT
VAUX.
Ground Won by Americans and
French and Held Against Violent
Counter Attack.
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.

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.

Omaha, where he has been taking
medical treatment arrived home this

The successful fanner co-op-crates

Knowing that certain s.oil
elements are necessary to heal
thy crop growth, he sees to it
that these elements are main

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

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

To sell only such implements
as have the quality to give high
grade results in the field.
To consider good performance

To sell every implement at

To practice the square deal
