I'm tho Bee Hive

DEAR Busy Bees: I hope you all
- enjoyed the very beautiful May
day Wednesday. No May queen could
have asked for more beautiful sun
shine.
In our neighborhood the doors
were gay with May baskets tor it's
one of the pretty spring customs to
offer flowers to our friends and loved
ones on May day.
The people who lived in the British
Isles, hundreds of years ago, believed
that the fairies and gnomes. OF the
flowers and trees weaved magic spells
that made all the nature grow on May
dav. and that what ever we wished
~ on this festival day would come
trre. The romans called their god.
dess OF IL growing things "Maia
and danced in her honor snd so tor
ages past, May day has been time
for loving thoughts and wishes ana
so I send you mine and hope May
time fairies will weave magic spells
of happiness for all Busy Bees.
Lovingly, MAK1AKEl'
Stunt Day at Field School.

Field school. Then all the girls ana

to do their stunt and all the classes

have a regular afternoons entertain
ment. The boys of the school have
formed a glee club and so have the
girls and there is great deal or
rivalry between the two to see VINO
can sing the best, and the favorite
songs are patriotic.

 Rev. J, W. Erwin informs the writer that he has been solicited by a number of his friends to make the race for Tax Assessor, but has not fully decided to do so. Bro. Erwin farms for a liv- ing, and the late date fixed for holding the primary gives the farmer a poor chance to see the voters without neglecting his crop.
 Saturday, March End was County Contest day at Sutton. We are proud of the record made by our pupils in the contest. In spite of the fact that measles had disqualified some of our con testants. We were able to carry off, not only more prizes than any other school, but very near half of all the prizes awarded. Where first place was not won, Sutton pupils took second or third place, and in no entry did they fall as low as fourth place. This fact tells us that our con- munity has some good material or the common material is getting some good training. In either case we are proud of it, and the school site is at a place at which 1t can well afford to keep going.

By the Associated Press.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE,
Aug. 27.--Haying been stlll further ex-
tended by attacks launched north OF
the River Scarpe. the battle to-day was
raging along field almost forty-hve
miles long, and the British with re-
newed vigor were rolling up the Boone
before them and sweeping constantly
eastward.
Nearly in the centre OF the battlefield
hard fighting has been in progress along
the old Hindenburg line In the neigh
borhood Of Croisilles, Fontaine-lez-
Croisilles and Bullecourt, and once
through the Germans strong defences in
this locality open fresh ground remains
beyond.
The Hindenburg line actually has been
pierced at one place. east OF Heninei
and the weaker portion OF 1t. northwest
OF Fontains-lez -Croisilles, has been cap
tured and mopped up.
III tp-days fighting the British cap
tured high ground from which they can
overlook the country occupied by the
enemy for miles around. and nave thus
attained a great advantage. The Bois
du Sart. one Of these places. lies foutn
Of the scarpe and northeast Of Monchy-
le-Preux. and 1t was feared that mere
the enemy might hold up tho advance
for a time. 1t was captured. however.
after q short but fierce struggle. IN
which the Germans lost heavily.
Enemy Ousted From MOntnuban.
Another similarly valuable point IL
Montauban, northwest OF Mametz which
fell this morning after the Germans had
been given orders to hold at all costs
These orders suddenly were changed,
and the enemy retired In retreat.
Still another Ia Domplerre. southeast
Of Cappy-sur- Somme. Dompierre was
reached in the forenoon. From this point
there Is low rolling country all the way
back to Peronne. incidentally, the Brit
ish at this place now are only six miles
from Peronne. where the Somme bends
to the south.
Bapaume. having been almost sur
rounded. has been entered by British
patrols and they have been fighting In
the streets. The town, therefore. is a
sort OF no mans land for the moment.
but its complete capture seems only
matter OF hours.
The Germans are exhibiting still greater
anxiety to get away from the advancing
British, and even the morale OF the
enemy machine gunners seems to be d.
minishing. as they are not holding to
their posts with as much determine t!on
as early in the battle.
Various sections OF the front saw fresh
attacks launched to-day. North OF the
Scarpe, where the operations taken in
conjunction with those south of the river
are gradually releasing the pressure on
Arras, the outskirts of Plouvain were
reached. and the line then ran at an
angle slightly west ana due north from
