All young men who have attained the ago of twenty-one between Juno 5, 1917 nnd June 5, 1918, will be re quired to register on June 5th, 1918. The exact wording of the regulation Is as follows: To bo required to register you must have been "born In 1896, in a month on a day subsequent to June 5, or in 1897 in a month and on a day thereof or prior to or oh the date set for registration." ' Thero will bo but one place for Lincoln county and that will bo before the local board at tho office on "tho second floor of tho federal buldlng. No excuse wll be tolerated except when the preson Is actually In the mil itary or naval service. "o:; ' Secure Those Shoes. A lady telephoned Into The Trlbuno yesterday that she had a pair of 8-C high top shoes which she would be giact following night left for Omaha to en list In tho navy. Ted has reached the ago of twenty-one and was subject to registration next week. Ho concluded to take advantage of tho opportunity to enlist In the branch of the service which appealed most strongly to him. ::o:: Americans Repulse Huns. Another strong enemy counter at tack against the American troops In tho Cantlgny sector, west of Mondldler yesterday seems to have met with a complete repulse, according to. a brief report from tho south. Tho Americans evidently have been subjected to almost continuous at tacks since they stormed their way Into Cantlgny. In every case the enemy's waves have been broken against the stone wall resistance of the Americans. This latest Germai. assault appears to have been the heaviest tho Teutons havo yet esseyed in their attempt to evict the overseas men from the vil lage of Cantlgny. ,;o: : Will Adair, who returned from Kear- Tho Parker Carnival Company which has as good a reputation as any con cern of that nature, will be hero for tho weok beglnlng Juno 10th. The company will play under the auspices of the Moose, tho contract having been mado with an ndvanco agont who was here this weok. The Trlbuno .has nevor boon very "strong" on carnival companies, for it could never seo what benefit a town derived from thorn. Even If tho shows are respectable they result In the con gregating of young people who tako It for granted that it Is an occasion for a "good time," and they become moro familiar in actions by a hundred per cent than at any other class of gather. Ings. This has a tendency to entourage loose morals. And Just at this time it looks to us as though our loose dimes and quarters should be turned over to home enter tainments that are given exclusively for Red Cross. Sammy Girls and other war organizations, for every cent that we can spare Is needed for that pur pose. At present both the Red Cross and Sammy Girls need funds to con tinue their work. Why contribute our money to a traveling company that takes It out of town when It Is needod at home? Wo regrot that tho Moose lodge has entered Into a contract with tho carnival company at a tlmo when funds for our war societies are so badly needed. Even If tho Moose should turn over to these societies their share of tho gate receipts It still means that tho eighty-seven and one- half per cent of tho receipts go out of town.

E HOE MARKET AVES YOU if I ONEY ON SHOES KEITH THEATRE BUILDING linns Homltnnl U S Hospital Tho Gorman air attack Tuesday night on American hospitals In a town many miles hehlnd the front was carried out apparently with the ut most deliberation. Tho Germans air men used umbiolla flares to aid them In picking out their targets. Their bombs also started a fire in a garage, which lighted tin the neighborhood. In which Is locntod ono of the four flnost cathcderals In France, built In the 12th century. Tho airmen also turned their machine guns on the flremelt engaged In fighting the flames, and upon am bulance drlvors. Berlin reports that tho forts on tho northwostorn front of Rhelms have fall en, and that tho Gorman have captur ed three of the puburbs. north of Solsson. Tho numbor of English tak en prisoners has increased to 35,000, and much war material taken. A Paris correspondent says; The Germans in tho Champagne pushed farthor toward the river Maruo today. Tho intontlon of tho Teutons probably Is to secure a po sition enabling them to turn to tho westward with the bulk of tholr at tacking armies. The effort of the Germans slnco tholr rapid advanco appear to tako a fan-like movement. Tho principal column of tho Touton divisions seem to be thrusting In tho direction of Foro-En-Tirdono!s. which now la un der a heavy flro. On both flanks also strong forces are engaged. Tho first of these cap tured Soissons while on tho eastern flank they threaten Rhelms. In the latter region, however, thoy are moot ing tho sternest defense from tho Franco-British forces which novorthe. loss, havo been obliged to realign In order to the front straight. ::o:! Germans Lose 620,000 Men. Estimates of tho Gorman loss In tho present offensive are fixed at a min imum at 520,000. Theso llgures are compiled upon authentic Information received and aro mathematically certain. Some of the enemy divisions have been used two and three times and this fact Is taken into consideration. A total of two hundred and Blxty divis ions havo been used by tho Teutons since March 21. This represents 3,120, 00Q men. Tho French estimate that a loss of two thousand men to tho division has been inflicted on many of those units. On tho present drive tho onomy Is making gains, but thoy are extremoly costly and average well with the drives mado on tho north In March. ::o::- '.:o: ' CITY AND COUNTY NETYS Mrs. M. C.

You should, of course, also remember quality. For there are two distinct classes of tires first, those that are made to sell at low prices; and sec ond, those that are made with the ideal of high quality in mind. It stands to reason that it is better to buy a lire of the latter class if you con get it at the right price. Most motorists have a mistaken notion that all "quality" tires are high-priced. But for tunately this idea is not founded on fact. You will find that Michclins are moderate in price, though they are recognized the world over as unsurpassed for durability. wwm Uoti for tlh 5!fa coLeidbj GgrifM MsrfieSiji 'Vives Ave Mot High Priced vulcAnizing 6th & LOCUST.
