engineers ill the country ns to the
cost of the project, 'flic cost of the
project, ullowing n very wide margin
of safety, n sale of bonds ns low us
is allowed by law ami interest on the
bonds for one year amounts to $75.(10
per acre. A bond issue such us is
proposed on the basis of being fiually
redeemed at the end of -10 years will
amount to a payment of about $ per
acre per year. This will include the
repayment of the bonds and interests
upon them, figures obtained from
other districts lead us to believe that
an lipkecn and operating- cost of one
dollar per acre will be sufficient for
all expenses. It would certainly seem
that a total cost of $(i per acre per
year, such an additional amount of
produce could be raised and sold as
to cover the cost ninny times over.
However this is a purely business
matter and can he better figured out
by each land owner for himself.
Summary
Diversion works in llig Hutte Creek .". $ 10,010
The issuance of the bonds will be
the third step in securing water for
the district. First the district was
voted; second the investigation was
curried out. Now the bonds must be
voted and then final and complete
plans and sceifieiitions must be sub
mitted and passed upon b" the state
engineer. Then the security of the
bonds which includes the whole ques
tion of water rights, land g ullies and
feasibility must be passed upon by the
state commission consisting of Ihe
engineer, the attorney general and the
chief bank inspector. Thus before
the bonds eaii be issued there must
be two more rigid examinations of the
whole project. Nothing further can
be done until the bonds are authorized
ami we expect the voters to give the
whole matter their cnreful considera
tion and to vote ill favor of going
ahead."
The preliminary estimates of the
engineers follow :

tion of Tergnier is not threatened
very seriously but French crossing of

Heavy Fighting; in Progress
North of Solssons tho (Jormuus
have thrown in fresh troops to stop
the advunco of the French and Amer
icans toward the heights dominating
the Chemin Dcs Dames, allied posses
sion of which would compel tho on
emy to withdraw from the Voslc. The
allies have tho more favorable posi
tions and have but one more plateau
to overcome to reach their objective.
As the full of Hove compelled the
Hermans to retire to the line south of
Peronno, the vapturo of Hapaume by
the British made it necessary for tho
enem; to retreat north of tho Soinme.
Wihoro the enemy will make a Bland
here is probtomulical, -but his host
line would seem to he that of the
canal Du Xord, which runs northoust
from Peronne. Tho' canal curves
east five miles east of Bapaumo and
crosses the old Illmlcnburg line near
Ilavrlncourt, seven miles east of Ha
paume. The canal Du Nord extends ncross
the Picardy battlefield in a general
north and south direction and the
fact that the Germans are offering
stout resistance to the French south
of Peronne, where the canal parallels
tho Sonnne, would indicate the prob
ability that they may atteaipt to
stand on the lino of the canal. The
tiermans ure contesting bitterly tho
possession of heights north and east
of Noyou. TJia French are on the
southern slopos of Mount St. Simeon,
ail important height east of Noyon.
- To Outflank Fiicmy
General Mangin's movo in crossing
the Ailetto nnd the Kranco-Amerlcan
j progress north of the Aisne may be
the beginning of a movo to outflank
the heights east of Noyon nnd north
of tho Olso by a drive toward Terg
nier. Thero hns been no further Infantry
fighting ulung tho Vesle, nllho tho
American artillery Is shelling the on
omy positions heavily. The German
claim of tho capturo of 250 Amer
icans at Hazoches und Fismette Wed
nesday Is denied. '
Since the 'beginning of tho offen
sive in Picardy, French troops' have
mado tho greatest advance. From
Custel, on the Avro, to Hothencourt.
on the Sommo, the French have mov
ed forward almost twenty-five milos.
The llindeuliurg line is at St. Quen
tlu. fifteen miles due cast. St. Quen
tln is 4 70 miles from Berlin nnd 102
miles west of Coblenz, on the Rhine.
American troops east of Luneville
are nearest of the allied forces to
Berlin, which Is 4 00 milos north
northeast, as the crow flies. In soiith-
orn Alsace the Americans are olgh
teen miles from the lthluo.
On tho Ussurt front north of Vladi
vostok, allied troops have repulsed
an enemy attack and have begun an
advance northward. South of Chita
in east central Siberia, antl-Uolshevik
forces are moving northward along
tho Siberian railway.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CANDY
One Man Tali es His Sug'ar
in His Fruit or Coffee
Another Man Takes His
in the iShape of Candy
The human body needs constant find.
lust as coal Is fuel for a furnace, sugar, which supplies carbohy
drates. Is bodily fuel.
Plain, raw granulated sugar Is not an altractlve way to (ako it,
so peopio generally tako sugar in was to suit tht-lr individual ta:;te.
One man lakes his sugar in co'feo or on fruit.
Auother likes a cake of chocolate, for cxainplu.
The cake or chocolate, railed candy, consists or covoa, sugar,
nnd milk, properly blended.
Is it right to nay that tins man who tukcH his sugar In IiIh coffee
In on the right road, while the mini who lakes his In tho form or a
piece of milk chocolate is wasl efiil and enjoying a non-cwsenllal
luxury? ;
Ono small boy takes several lumps of sugar In his cofrec or his
portion of sugar on his mush. Another lit t In follow takos his thru
his favorite piece of chocolate or a piece of stick candy. Is tho
hitter less patriotic than the former? Wo 'believe not.
Tho soldier in the camp tukes his n-aka of milk chocolate out
with him und It sustains him. The soldier up In tho front line
trench enjoys its nourishment and It makes li I ill "fight llko tho
devil," as General Waller or tlm Marines said.
Yet the candy Industry, the thirty-eighth largest Industry In tho
I'nltod Stntos, an Industry supplying a recognized and tremendous
ly vital food product, Is now threatened Willi practical annihilation
because many people, have not learned the facts.
Many people still feci that candy has no rood value, that It is a
non-esxenllal luxury whhh uses up uiayho a rpiurter to u half of the
sugar In this country, and that by wiping out candy the sugar prob
lem Is solved. Hut that Is not so. On the contrary, only S per cent
of the normal consumption of sugar (now cut to 4 per cent) goes
into making this firmly established food product.
Take one cent's worth of sugar. Put It In a little ill. That's
tho amount of sugar used per capita weekly In randy making. The
saving of that tiny mite In the homo will keep tho candy Industry
alive and enable It to supply men and women and children at home
tinil the men at the front with nourishing, wholesome body fuel.
Put a pound of chocolate creams to the tost, for Instance. Fat a
