Thursday evening they expect to go ,
I to the Anderson 110-acre field in the
i Ten Mile (Flat.
I The "Roll of Honor" last evening
i was: Ed Thomas, William
Mayfield, Jim Rodgers, Bob Phillips,
] Geo. Jansing, Ben Fleming. Charlie
i Richards, John Fisher, George Allen,
W, E. Bernard, Howard Hamilton,
Earl Minteer, Hubert Pritchett and t
Ed Walker. They put in a total of J
!twenty hours and received $7.00, i
I which was given to the Red Cross, t
! The wages paid was 40 cents an hour,
j which is the ruling price.
i This is a most commendable
' "stunt," and cannot but result in
I great good; not the least of the good
! being a closer relationship between
town and country, as indicating a de-
! sire to help each other out in a
1 pinch.
j The wheat harvest is on in earnest
I this week, nearly every field having
I its binder going, the yield is going
i to be good, and the quality excellent.
! Some think if the weather continues
favorable the most of the wheat will
I be in shock by Saturday night. Many
j binders are running night and day,
' and the most of them are being run
! with a Ford—doing away with horse
i power. They say the little old Fords
! hitched to a binder sure does the work
i rapidly and most satisfactorily.
I Forty cents an hour with board is
; being paid harvest hands and they
! are hard to get at even that figure.
| It is said the prices paid in Kansas
are 50 cents an hour with board, and
!many of the towns are almost de-
serted. everybody going to the har-
dest field.

morning, the French war office
announced.
The principal French advance was
made between St. Maur and Rube.;-
court, where they reached the south-
ern outskirts of LeFretoy, capturcd
the heights between Courcelles and
Mortemer and carried their lines
' about a mile and a half to the east
,,f Mery. They also retook Belloy
and Gemlis wood and reached the
! southern edge of St. Maur.
1 \djoining this advance on the
right, the French center drove back
the Germans who had penetrated
south of Antheuil and Loge farm.
On tho right, the boches gained a
foothold in Bethancourt and Mache-
' mont, two and four miles southwest
l of Ribecourt, respectively, necessitat-
ing withdrawal from the latter vil-
lage. They also crossed the Oise at
this point, apparently compelling the
•French to evacuate the salient,
which extended about seven miles
northward to the vicinity of Sem-
ipigny two miles south of Noyon.
This would indicate that the French
' have given up practically all of Our-
l scamps wood and that the new front
and the Marne front are linked up
I near Carlepont, seven miles directly
i east of Ribecourt.
The French counter attack won
, them more than one thousand pris-
oners and several cannon. The Ger-
mans claimed ten thousand addition-
i al prisoners, raising their alleged to-
tal since May 27 to about 75,000.
Field Marshal Haig reported that
1 the number of prisoners taken by the
| Australians in their advance south of
Albert was 298.
