Observe Holiday.
General Pershing's birthday was
celebrated at a number of places in

i otic address. The Fremont home

ceding the meeting. ;
At Scribner, where the stock show
was being held, a mammoth crowd
took part in the celebration.
S. S. Sidner of Fremont was the
speaker. Scribner, North Bend and
Hooper home guards gave, an exhi
1'tion drill.
County Attorney J. C. Cook ad
dressed a large crowd at Uehling

; wagons, but it i possible that those
' wagons by this time are in allied
hands, since the enemy had only 12
hours to escape from one of the claws
' closing across the salient.
The enemy did set fire to a few
, houses, but the inmates extinguished
the flames.
,The Germans looted both the banks
during their occupancy. The in
. habitants had depended largely for
. sustenance on the food furnished by
the American relief committee.
Advance Like Flood.
Nothine could better illustrate the
increasing weakness of the . German
artn than the ease with which the
Franco-American force advanced in
the St. Mihiei salient. It is true the
; operation was admirably planned and
carried out, but one rarely has wit-
' nessed anyting like the east of that
first day's fighting;
f There was, of course, a barrage, but
; not a very terrific affair as barrages
go. After the barrage there was
- nothing very startling in the way of
- gun fire and the machmr-gun rattle
produced quite an effect by only com
ing now and then.
All the while the Americans were
. going forward with the steadiness of
a flood,; trickling into woods on one
side and nassing out of them on the
;' other, spreading about a village and
; overwhelming it, and breaking against
- a hill or a mountain 'and gradually
working over the top. They moved
like something worked by a clock,
' but always well ahead of schedule.
Rairt-soaked and slipping about in the
mud, they still went. forward, while
. back along the flood came long lines
of grey-blue creatures who had been
swamped in its course.
Fierce Fight in Woods. ,
Whichever yay one looked there
were sure to be Germans men as fine
as you could wish for, or creatures
so poor that their presence in the
line afforded the most damning proof
of German insufficiency in man power.
The mud had proved too much for
many of the tanks and the rainstorms
had swept the airplanes out of the
sky, but still the Americans went on,
with just the booming of a few big
guns behind them and atnelting away
" of the enemy in front.
There was; however, plenty of
fierce fighting. The Bois (name of
wood deleted) was not cleared with
. out a struggle, which for a time held
back that part of the line. There had
been a throwing out of mustard gas
' and some sharp machine gun firing
before some of the surrounded vil
lages could be left behind and the
attack resumed.
But even these things did not
..' check the steady movement of the
whole army. Notwithstanding the
furious storm, the guns got along
without a- mishap.
There is no disputing that - the
boihe made a poor showing, but he
was for the first time up against an
.. American army, fighting division be-
side division on a solid front, and he
liked neither its pace nor its deter-
- mination. It was a gfat victory for
a a, new army, with new staffs, in a new
country, because it Nwas a victory for
exactness in thinking and precision
in working.
That the boche was meeting better
msn we know; that the new machine
was, doing better work than the old
we didn't know. We arc mighty
- glad to know it.

Rev. George G. Rice, who will be
99 years old on Sunday, September
22, is the only surviving member of
the graduating class of 1845 of the
University of Vermont. There were
24 members of that class', eight of
whom entered the ministry. This
venerable clergyman was a classmate
of Charles Dewey, brother of the ad
miral. '
Rev. Mr. Rice arrived in Council
Bluffs, (then known as Kainsville), in
1851, having been assigned to this
frontier field by the Congregational
Home Mission board. In those days
Council Bluffs w'as in fact "out where
the west begins." His first pastoral
work in the Bluffs was in' a crude
building, 20x24 feet, located at the
present junction of Glen avenue and
Broadway. His wife taught school in
the church building. The First Con
gregational church of Council Bluffs
was founded by him in 1853, and on
three occasions he preached the last
sermons in old buildings, and on as
many occasions delivered opening ser
mons In new buildings of this same
church organization.
Sixty years after he preached his
first sermon in Council Bluffs he
preached the last sermon in the third
building occupied by the P'irst Con
gregationalists. He has married many
couples whose parents he baptized.
Among prominent Omahans he mar

fire directed at him in going over the

and Jesse Lowe, first mayor of
Omaha.
"Work and don't worry" has been
the' motto of his' life. He resides on
a tract in the environs of the Bluffs
and is able even at this late hour of
his life to get out into his garden and
hoe potatoes.
He recalls that during one of his
visits to. Washington, D. C, many
years ago, he heard Webster, Cal
houn, Clay and Benton in a debate.
There are 26 members in his im
mediate family: Three surviving chil
dren, 12 grandchildren and 11 great
grandchildren. Mrs, A. B. Walker and Mrs. D. W.

ters, and George D. Rice of Onialia,

cation, is the only living son. The
great-grandchildren represent six

Food With Stuart' Dys
pepsia Tablet.
Most of us eat three times a day, and
often forget that each meal should be dis
posed of in the stomach to make room for
the next. The failure of the stomach to
do this is called indigestion or dyspepsia,
with its sour rfcinga, gas, rumblings, pain,
depression and, the feeling of stuffiness
when breathing is difficult.
The raost effective remedy and the most
reliable one, because you can get it at any
drug store in the United States or Canada, is
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, at 60 cents a
box.' Instead of depriving yourself of
food or going on a starvation diet simply
keep on as you have and let these tablets
straighten out your stomach, digest the
food and keep you in the fight. Adv.
Itfs a display of good judgment to make your
apparel purchases early
because buying now means to you better selections a full season's
wear while styles are new and a protction against cisive price ad
vances which are coming with all certainty.
