Hurrah for "Old Dorset" The first
town in Bennington County to raise
her quota and is now more than twice
as much as she was asked to raise.
Let US hope that before May 4th it
will be three times as much. Dorset's
quota was $4,000 and at this writing
she has to her cradt S27 $50 with SIS
subscribers. Let the other towns in
the county get busy and see if they
can beat Dorset in proportion to the
population. The population of Dorset
township is l,472 We doubt if any
of them can beat US let alone catch US.

vALDERs OPENED MONDAY.
Popular College Opened for Thirty
first Year With Fine Attendance

Valdez College, OF DEBORAH, entered
upon its thirty-frst year last Monday.
The attendance is up to that of for,
mer years, and this is surely an en-
ldorseIflent of the good work here
tofore done in this popular college
While large majority of the private
schools have passed out of existence,
the Valdez school by adapting its
course of study to the actual de-
mands of the times, has succeeded
in securing larger enrolment from
year TO year. The courses offered
are thoroughly practical, they pre-
pare young people for positions in
business houses and government
positions. A student with general
knowledge of common branches, can
be prepared for general Office work
this is short time and young peo-
pie should embrace this open door to
opportunity to build for real life and
success.
Boys and girls fifteen years of age
may take advantage of the two-year
business shorthand course, and at
the age of seventeen they are amply
prepared for general Office work.
This course is not prepared by any
committee of educators. 1t is adop-
ted by the management of Valdez
College after consulting a large
number of business men, both east
and west, who have employed
thousands of young gentlemen and
ladies. The business mems expert
ence has furnished them knowledge
the general requirements in given
business enterprises, and they are
thus qualified to advise in formulat-
ing course of study that will train
for efficiency in Office work.
Give your sons and daughters
practical bread and butter education.
These times demand it.

IN ROCK QUARRIES
FOR COUNTY ROADS
Number of Maysville Men Volunteer
Their Services to Help Make COun-
ty's Pixies Better-MOre VIII
Work Today and
Tomorrow.

Showing the country people that 1t
is the desire of the business men of
Maysville that they have the best
roads and pixies possible, quite a num-
ber of city business men left their
cool offices and electric fans yester-
day to assist in the road offensive now
being waged throughout Mason coun-
ty.
The business men were stationed at
the rock quarry in the Mayslick
neighborhood and reports are to the
effect that the business men although
tender and soft did their best and
helped accomplish much during the
day.
Reports are that large number of
farmers are lending their help with
their workmen, tools and teams and
wagons to make the pixies and roads
the best the county has had in recent
years and today and tomorrow 1t is
expected that even more farmers and
even more city men will be on the job.
The city men are furnished their
transportation from the city to the
rock quarry and they are also fur
nished a good chicken dinner and
brought back to the city at the close
of the days work.
The farmers who are assisting in the
drive will be paid full rates by the
County Commissioners for all Of the
rock they haul and during these dull
times on the farms it is expected that
large amount of metal will find its
way to the pixies through this con-
certed effort.

ALLIES POUND
GERMAN FRONT
WHICH STIFFENS
Prince Rupprecht Brings In Fresh
Troops and Artillery Is COncen-
trated-Allied Guns Ham.
mer Lines.

With the British Army in France,
August 12-During the lull in the bat
tie there are further indications that
the line is hardening.
This afternoon Crown Prince Rup-
preoht of Bavaria seems to have
brought in more fresh troops, and
while the Allied forces are pausing
of their own accord, the enemy with
in the area of his new battle front,
with the Somme at his back, is having
a most uncomfortable time. The Brit
ish guns are hammering Chaulnes
while cannon of larger calibre are
coming up all the time and drenching
the enemy rear with steel. They are
also pounding away at the bridges
across the Somme at Bethencourt.
The shelling of the bridges here is
a serierious matter for the enemy, as
bombs from the air are continually
being dropped by British airplanes
from a low altitude at the bridges IN
the Peronne district. This bombing
has been going on day and night since
the battle began, forcing the Germans
to divert their transport, so that the
| general movement was southeast.
Now his bridges to the southeast are
under heavy fire. -
With the comparatively small force
of Americans there has been no real
heavy fighting to-day They still ar,
holding their line and their patrols
have been sent out now and then feel
ing out the foreground
At many places along the new front,
especially just south of the Somme,
the Germans are occupying old line
dugouts built by the French more
than two years ago. The Germans
have concentrated artillery at many
places and today are sending in more
shells than on any day since the bat
tie began. Lihons, which came into
British hands yesterday when Field
| Marshal Haig's men stormed the place
after having been driven out in a
counter attack, was being heavily
shelled today.
A party of cavalFy, down from the
Roye road ran into the cross fire of
large German pill-boxes studded with
machine guns just this side of Roye
received surprise, but the Germans
who happened to get the opportunity
to do this execution paid the extreme
penalty later.
Today the resistance by the enemy
has been stiffening progressively but
| his troops appeared TO be nervous and
apprehensive of what the future holds
out for them and what the Allies in
tend to do. In order to feel out the
Allies it is expected that further
heavy counter attacks may be launch
ed by the enemy.
Stories of the air fighting over the
battle lines are amazing. One OBJ
server coming into his station shot
down four machines. In the same
| fighting a British pilot chased one
enemy plane to earth and was swoop-
ing down to finish his antagonist when
the man climbed out OF his machine
and held up his hands in token of
| surrender.
|
$50 l didn't kill him, the British
pilot said.

BOOST FOR TOBACCO FAIR

Every resident of Maysville and
Mason county is urged to remember
the dates of the Maysville Corn and
Tobacco Fair for this year and they
are urged to begin right now boosting
it and continue to boost it until it is
over for another year. Plans will be
made to bring some of our state offlc-
ials here this year again and it may
be that some of our Federal officials
can be induced to drop in on Mays
VILE during the fair.
