city chaps across the line. Those who
pulled for the mill crew were; Hans

use to the farmers in this section of

Much interest was aroused in the

a ball game between Summit and
Hines was played. Those not inter-

beautiful lake.
A program, which would put to

races of every description, games,
sports, contests, tug of war, etc and
in addition to this two big bouncing,
regular farm style meals were served.
In speaking of the event Prof. Gile
had this to say.
1T is one of the finest gatherings
OF it's kind I ever attended. They all
treated me with the utmost courtesy
and respect Their program was a
"corker'' and their meals, two big
ones, were the best I ever enjoyed
at an occasion of this kind. This vi

and are willing to learn more. That's
the kind of men who make a sue

London, July 8.-Reports of the
progress of the Balkan conflict reach

It was the general belief, however,
that the Fulgarians were gradually
forcing both the Servians and Greeks
back. but not without the most bitter
fighting.
The battles have been marked by
hand to hand conflicts, in which bay
onets were used as sabers and at such
close quarters that the troops resort
ed to clubbing each other with the
butts of their rifles.
1t is estimated the fighting covers
an area of 5000 square miles. More
than 100000 noncombatants are home.

homes and are in danger of starvation.

Diplomatic relations have been COM

states.
Advices from Belgrade declared that
the Servians had reoccupied Kivola.
The Bulgarians were routed with
heavy losses, it was stated.
Advices from Saloniki continue to
make claims of Greek advances, but
it is generally believed here the plan
of the Bulgarians is merely to keep
the Greeks fairly in hand, while they
