The Germans forced their way Into the Canadian trenches northwest of th French mining center, but after furious hand-to-hand fighting they were ejected, leaving a considerable number of dead on the battlefield. On the River AJaae front tae Ger man crown prince directed a number of attack on the French trenekea, notably In the vicinity of Froldmont farm, but all were repulsed. On the Verdun front a spirited French attaok swept over the German position la Caurleres woods, enabling th Frenck to retake all the trenches which had been wrested from them by th Ger mans on Aug. 16 and 17.

A London dispatch dated Aug. 10 stated that a great drive gclned for the French positions held by the Ger mans on a front of more than eleven miles In the Verdua sector, extending from the Avecourt wood eastward across the River Meus and Into the Lols-de-Ohaume.

London announced Aug. 1 that the French captured important positions on both sides of the Mouse In the Vet dun sector, and that the Canadians fought their way forward nearer to the heart of the town of Lens, taking 2,000 yards of positions, west and northwest of the town. All counter attacks by the Germans at each point were put down, Berlin dispatches of Aug. 22 an nounced the launching of a German offensive against the Rueeians near Riga on the Baltic sea. Russian ad vane guards were pushed back from one to two mile. The great Italian offensive from the region of Tolmino to the head of the Adriatic sea Is going on despite the stubborn resistance of the Austrian and the difficulty of the terrain.

This ruling was issued last week by Herbert C. Hoover, federal food admin istrator. N Under the prohibitive section of the food control act it is provided that "from and after 30 days from the date of the approval" of the act, no foods, fruits, food materials, or feeds, shall be used in the production of distilled spirits for beverage purposes. The 30-day period named will expire at midnight Sept. 9. Ihis date falls on Sunday, and as the internal revenue laws prevent the operation of distilleries after 11 o'clock at night on Saturday until the following Monday at 1 a.m., it is held by the food administrator that the law becomes effective on Saturday night, Sept. 8. Beer Guzzlers to Get Less Alcohol Reduction of alcohol in' beer to 2 per cent is expected to be Hoover's next grain conservation step. He is said to have decided beer strength must be re duced from its present 3 2-1 and 4 per cent alcohol to save 35,000,000 bushels of grain. No loss of revenue would re sult on this reduction, though there might be less drunks. FAIR USUAL SUCCESS Five students of the aviation school who were spinning over Sugar street Tuesday, probably fuster than the law permits, ran into the curb at Market as they turned the corner, the car turning turtle and spilling the occupants.

John R King, of Lebanon, O., and thesuperin tendent of the Otterbein Home, will give his illustrated lecture on the home. The services are open to the public. the mm The Banner Fair will come to a close this afternoon. It can be safely termed the usual success. Some departments made excellent showings, others were fairly filled. The agricultural displays of the granges of the county were its finest features, and these organizations are to be commended for their exhibits and the care taken in presenting them The Woman's Club of Blackcreek town ship also showed what can be accom plished by united efforts. An outstand ing feature was the products of the gar den and field, which no doubt were more or less the result of the appeals of the government to plant and plant. The display of the business men of the county seems to grow less each year, but those who continue to make exhibits are to be congratulated on their efforts to make the fair worth while, with little hope of reward for their time or expen diture of money. Fairs run more,and more to amusement places, and many people never see an exhibit of any kind, However the crowds seem to spring out of the ground, and every year seems to show an increase in attendance, particu larly on the big days, and this year is no exception. Ground to Be Enlarged The board has acquired twelve acres of land adjoining the fair-ground on the east that was much needed for parking purposes and will relieve the congestion that was so noticeable yesterday. There is another thing that needs remedying, and that is permittiag passenger traffic vehicles entering the grounds. Sheds should be erected at the gates for un loading and receiving passengers. Unity Got First The good natured rivalry among the granges for honors at the fair were de cided by a judge from Wooster yester day, who gave Unity first prize, Monte zuma second and Neptune third. YOUNGER AND RICKETS BEAT OPPONENTS EASILY Contests for places on the Fair board yesterday were confined to Jefferson and Hopewell township.

STEINBRDNNER AND ANTHONY ARE HONORED THE FIFTY-NINTH THE GRIM REAPER BRYAN ON DRAFT TEACHERS' MEET By Miss Clara Penn, Acting Secretary. The fifty-ninth annual session of the Mercer County Teachers' institute as stmbk-d in city ball at Celitra. August At 9:30 o'clock County Superintend cut Cotterman announced that the insti tute was in session and asked Dr. Chan cellor to conduct the opening exercises. I lie teachers sang America," and alter scriptural reading and prayer proved that "The Star Spangled Banner" was a laminar song. In the absence of the secretary, Miss Em mi Musselman. the president ap pointed Miss Clura Penn to act as the secretary. Superintendent Cotterman explained the purpose of the enrollment and the enrollment fee. He also explained that the conflicting dates of the institute and the fair was unintentional and that an opportunity would be given to attend the fair sometime within the week. Dr. Chancellor, who had so ably in structed the teachers in their last insti tute, was then introduced to speak on Planning the Day's Work." He urged careful planning in all work. Plan in general your week's work and then plan in detail for each day's work. Go over the plan before using, then test your teaching by going over the plan after the lesson has been taueht. He spoke of the importance ol making memoranda of individual cases to be met It is worth while to record exact time in cases of discipline rather than to trust the memory. Dr. Chancellor closed his address with an appeal to the teachers to keep fresh by making new plans, using new books and becoming acquainted with new ideas and new things. The president announced that Prot. Clifton had come back home with a mes- iKe to the teachers. Prof. Clifton was very much at home in his examination on "What Is Education?" The teachers measured themselves as be gave out his test questions: Has ed ucation Riven vou an interest in new thines? Has it eiven vou an interest in outside affairs? Have you learned how to make friends and how to keep them? Afternoon Session The meeting was opened by sing' ing the ' 'Battle Hymn of the Republic. ' Dr. Chancellor gave an interesting ad' dress on the ' 'Social Conditions of Rus sia." Russia has a heterogeneous popu lation with Asiatic rather than European tendencies. Illiteracy is very great, due part to traveling facilities. The masses are informed, by what they hear. We have a peculiar relation with this people at this time, since it seems to be our function to surrender ourselves to great ideals and to be missionaries by irivine these ideals to humanity. At recess many teachers enrolled in the reading circle. Prof. Clifton then addressed the teach' ers on"Personal Development, "in which he said 4 'more than 50 per cent of what am, or what I am going to be, depends upon my personal development. By interesting illustrations he made very clear that teachers may will to do. or not to do in spite of heredity and en vironment, and that each one is respons' ible for his own characteristics. There is a great gulf between the anl mal and the human being which Prof. Clifton calls personal development Give the boy or girl a chance to show hat's in them. Mrs. Mary Worley, lor many years s resident of this city, died at the county intirmary last Friday, aged 78 years. Death was due to paralysis, though she had been in ill-health for some time. She was sent to the infirmary last June. The deceased is survived by an aired hus band and several children. Her funeral took place from the local Catholic church Monday. ANNUAL REUNION DEHAYI FAMILY NEXT THURSDAY AND FREE SPEECH Veteran Joe Dehavs. of Findlay, drop' ped in to see us Tuesday while in town doing the fair. Incidentally he inform ed us the reunion of the Dellays family would be held at the (atr-eround here next Thursday, the 30th. Joe and his better half have been visltin? relatives and old friends In the county the past fortnight and will not return home until the assembled hosts of kith and kin meet next week. HAS A GROWING FLAG. Red, Wake and Blu In His Yard Plot New. Shelbyvllie, Ind. A growing Ameri can flag la the attraction which Alonso Leora Rice, Shelby county poet, baa In enforced resietence ts anarchy. Wm, J. Bryan, in August Commoner. The number of those resisting the draft is, fortunately, very few: there should be none. Some are conscien tiously opposed to war any war and may prefer to submit to any punishment the government sees fit to inflict rather than to take up arms, but even such can not justify resistence or the giving of encouragement to those who do resist. Still less can tolerance be shown to those who, while opposing conscription, at tempt to DRAFT others to join them in opposing conscription. War is a last re sortit is a reflection upon civilization that it still reddens the earth but so long as nations go to war the citizen can not escape a citizen's duty. If his con science forbids him to do what his crov- ernment demands, he must submit with out complaint, to any punishment inflicted, whether the puniament be im prisonment or death. This is the best government on earth the one most responsive to the will of the people, but it is a government of the people not of one or a few men. If a few are permitted to resist a law any law because they do not like it, govern ment becomes a farce. The law must be the yard of his home In Union towa- ahip. The flag has been seen by hundreds of persons from several counties, and Vr. Rice says it Is a floral conception which be has had for several years. The flag la formed by three varieties of clematis red, white and blue plant ed In the order named and growing oa a wire trellis. The flag la four feet wide and twelve feet long. The col ored flowers form the stripes and field of blue, while) the stars are formed by the white flowers, which are shaped similarly to the star. The clematis is hardy and blooms until frost. OUR MEN AT FRONT PUT BAN ON NAME "SAMMY" Before our nation enters a war it is perfectly proper to discuss the wisdom of going to war, but the discussion is closed when congress acts. After that no one should be permitted to cloak at tacks upon his government or aid to the enemy under the claim that he is exer cising freedom of speech. No sympa thy, therefore, will be wasted upon those who have been arrested for unpatriotic utterances. They abuse free speech. And this applies to attacks on the Allies as well as the attacks upon the United States. We can no more allow our al lies to be crushed than we can afford to be crushed ourselves. The defeat of our allies would throw the whole burden of the war upon us. We must stand to gether and fight it through. There are only two sides to a war every American must be on the side of the United States. IN CUPID'S DOMAIN Officers and Privates In France Resent Use of Name and Urge It Be Forgotten. HOUSE, BARN AND HORSES CREMATED IN FARM HUE A fire a week aaro last night destroyed a house and barn on the Mervin Smith farm in Liberty township, a quarter mile from Mr. Smith's residence.

Now when the mother cat comes it crawls under the wings of the hen, which remains on the neat When the cat gees It leaves the kittens to the motherly care of the hen.

Tuesday's Session President Cotterman called the meet- or to order at 8:30 a.m. Prof. Clifton led the teachers in singing, after which Rev. Brobst led the devotional exercises. After roll-call Prof. Clifton gave an address on arithmetic. Arithmetic is not memory work; it is not guessing. The teacher will get what he expects. Stress and accuracy, accept nothing else nd you will get accuracy. Arithmetic will be interesting to the pupils if it is presented in an interesting way. Re move the crutches, rules, model exam ples and answers, and let the pupils pro ceed naturally. Casting out the nines a method that holds the interest of the pupils. Insist on the attention of every pupil when a pupil is reciting or the teacher it instructing. After recess Dr. Chancellor presented universal test for schools. Individuals are generally divided into three classes eye-minded, ear-minded and hand- minded. Tests were given to illustrate each class. Then tests to discover the mental age were given and finally a practice test for teachers to use in any grade of school. Prof. Clifton spoke on school efficien cy. He rates the school buildings and surroundings at fifteen per cent, and the teacher at 85 per cent in school efficien cy. He illustrates his subject by an in teresting account of a visit to a correct ive institution. And again by a personal experience how he was kept in school and interested in school work by a real tea cher. Dr. Chancellor completed his talk on Russian social conditions and then pre sented French traits. The study of these nations helps to get the German point of view of the present war. The primitive customs of the Russians and their very high birth rate fill the Germans with a lothing and fear of these hordes. On the other hand, Germany believes France to be a declining nation because of its irreligious character and very low birth rate. The land system leads to this, as much is held out of use. American Ixolnlng Camp In Fiance Not until the recent arrival m camp of certain American newspapers did the soldiers of the American expeditionary forces become aware that efforts were being made fat certain quarters to fix upon them the name "Sammy." That name never la heard on this side. Within the past few days the newspaper correspondents have been approached by great numbers of the officers and men asking that something be sent home telling the people there how the standard bearers of the Amer ican army really recent what they con elder an Inapt, undignified and Irritat ing name. It can also be stated that the resent ment does not rest alone with the offi cers and men of the army, but that It extends to all Americans resident In Paris and other parts of France, many having written in to say that they con sider "Sammy" most unsuitable for John T.
