A. Wil nn. saying he had ccme to engage v.ith the Burlington here. Many (,:h?r people had come recently from Oak and are working with the Jlurlingtcn here and a fine lot of j-ntk-men they are proving to be al- S-O. As wo looked at Mr. Wilson, we thought will you are a little older than the men that the Iiurlington is looking for. but try it, so he went and locked around, but did not find anything but what looked to hard. and the management of the shops thought so too. This morning he returned to his home and at the Bur lington station told that he was born March 15th. ISIS, about 2.", miles outide of New York City, on the trip over. He tells of his first land ing at Chicago, when it was only a series cf swamps, and the ground Mop.g the lake front would shake when rne walked over it. Anyway l e is too o!d for the Burlington shops J..l. FOJND SOME CORN ANY WAY. I'rom Tu('!.iv's DaiTv. Kdgar Johnson who came in this morning from his home at Lincoln, to visit with his mother here, stop ped at Oreapolis to change cars, and while waiting stepped over into an adjoining corn field to investigate the conditions of the crop, and found somo very good corn, not the large e-irs. which is a feature of the 1 umper crop years, but good solid corn, that will go a long way when it comes to feeding properties, es pecially when the corn is short.

Miss Gretchen Donnelly has been visiting at Camp Funston with Mr. and Mrs. Fingarson. and was return ing heme, when Lieut, and wife thought it would be nice to come along. They gave the folks here quite a surprise. They are visitinsr at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Donnelly, parents ff Mrs. Fins-arson Flass at the Journal Office It's one of the necessities you can possibly do without somethings, but winter underwear you must have. Now lets face the facts. It is common knowledge that the government has commandeered most of the big mills, but aside from this and the shortage of raw materials, it is im possible for the mills not on government work to get n3edles enough to do the knitting. These facts are going to make underwear scarce and high. We are no shrewder than other stores, but perhaps we are more reckless anywa we went into the market early and bought nearly a half car load of underwear and its here ready for you. We don't expect to get another garment this season, but what we have now is right right in quality and right in price. We start boys winter union suits at. .

TEUTONS HURL U. S. Trcops Give Emphatic Replies to Vigorous Bombardment on the Loraine Front. With the American Army in Lor raine. Sept. 17. TIm American ar tillery, infantry and aviators made emphatic replies today to the Ger man challenge all along the newly established line. The enemy bom barded certain points with vigor and threw over qauntities of gas, largely of the mutsard variety, while airplanes endeavored to force their fway through the arial defenses, but evidence wag wholly lacking that the Germans contemplated any attenmt to regain the territory they have lost. Their high command apparent ly intends to adhere to the policy which resulted in the relinquishment of a large section without a bitter struggle. Reports brought in by aviators, from prisoners verified by patrols, show the Germans are strengthen ing their trenches along the Hin denburg line, but there is nothing to show they are reinforcing their lines to a degree that might indicate a strong counter movement. Patrols sent out by the Americans have been successful not only in re connaissance, but in bringing in prisoners. Many of the prisoners were stragglers, but among them were the crews of several lost or isolated machine guns. There vas much German activity today on the extreme right of the line where the enemy vigorously shelled and gassed the woods north of rout-A-Mousson and in the vi cinity of Norroy. WO MUSTARD GAS AT THE AMERICANS not so often. IRAISE IN PHONE RATES u BtAoKtu m suuh Omaha and Lincoln Companies Say Wage Increaes Demand Sach Move. Lincoln, Neb.. Sept. 6. The Lin coln Telephone & Telegraph Co., will apply to the Nebraska State rail way commission for permission to increase telephone rates all over the entire system to meet operating ex penses due to increased wages for employes, estimated at $250,000 an nually. The proposed application was dis cussed with Railway Commissioners II. G. Taylor and Vic Wilson with President Frank Woods yesterday afternoon. . The Nebraska Telephone Co., of Omaha, will file a similar applica tion. President Woods told the mem- ibers of the commission. President Woods said that under government control workers are de manding increases in wages on the ground that other governmental em ployes are getting them. He says that for the 1,200 employes of the company, of which he is president, the increase will amount to from $100,000 to $150,000 annually. The increased taxes and operating costs will necessitae $250,000 additional revenue annually, Mr. Woods said. Mrs. Peter Herold and son Poisall departed last evening for Lincoln, where they will visit at the home of a sister of Mrs. Herold, Mrs. A. W. Damron and family. Journal Want-Ad Vav Becoming Models In New Fall Suits You can hardly imagine the charm and grace that is given to these garments by the long coat and the slenderness of the skirt. Many are relieved with exquisite trimmings of fur. Present display brings forth such favored fabrics as velours, silvertones, serges and suedes, shown in a striking range of color tones. Among the most popular are blues, browns and soft grays. The prices reflect our early preparedness. A distinguished collection at $35.00 --$45.00 The Ladies' Toggery, FRED P.

Many counties will have less favorable seed than Cass County. Since April first the value of live stock sold through the exchange is about $10,000.00. This has been done without commission from eith er buyer or seller. More Eggs. Fresh water, succulent green food, shade and clean houses are essential for egg production. See that the fowls have fresh water at least two or three times a day. Give them succulent green food such as green alfalfa or root crop, provide shade for the hens to utilize during the day and keep poultry houses clean and well ventilated. Keep only the best laying hens. Cull out the hen that refuses to do her share of work and send her to the chicken buyer or put her in a can for table use this winter. L. R.
