JN the renewed activity on the Bal
kan front, timed to co-ordinate with
the initiative of the allied armies in
France, we again may see the work
ing of Koch's unified command and
perhaps may discern, in its broad out
line, the purpose of his strategy as it
relates to the closing period of
the summer campaign. The unbrok
en success of the Allied offensive
since it began two months ago fur
nishes a satisfying commentary to
the kaiser's one time prediction that
he wouiil win the war because his ar
mies were under a single command.
That condition is now equalized, of
which the kaiser has hud ample evi
dence. He has seen French, English
and American armies strike in per
fect co-ordination and in such order
that he is no longer able, us he was
in the first years of the war, to make
concentrations at will and where he
would. He no longer dares to thin his
tines for that purpose for offensive
rations and barely for defensive,
but must stand where he is on all
fronts. Allied unity of command has
said check to German unity,

CONSERVATION
You read a good deal about conserving man power,
and the Government is putting many laws in operation
to that end.
You don't hear much about conserving the Woman
Power of the country.
The men should commence at once to conserve the
woman power of the Nation.
Probably the best way to start is to see that every
woman has a Real Range in her kitchen. She is entitled
to the best.
Have your wife call at Hawkins Hardware and ex
amine a Real Range. There is only one Best Range
and that is
The Round Oak Chief
They last a lifetime. They do not burn out
They save fuel.
We have sold The Round Oak Chief Range for 15
years and during that time not a range has needed a
repair. Call and examine this range. They tell their
own story.
