London. Aug 10.-(4:41 pm.)-It Is
not easy to dclineate the line as 1t
stands this afternoon, for along the
whole length of the active fighting
front the allied forces have thrown
screens of tanks. cavalry and infantry
pickets In scattered localities long
distance in advance. preparing the
way for further penetration. The
actual line now solidly held may be
conservatively described, however, as
running as follows:
From Albert to Meracourt- sur
Somme to Proyart, west Of Chaulnes
and on to Rouvroy: thence east to
Boucholr east of Faverolles and
Piennes. east OF Mortemer and thence
to Ricquebourg and Marqueglise. On
this battlefront the French are on the
line from the Roy road southwark.
while the British line runs northward
from this road The Americans are
on the narrow front north of the
Somme.

The person who goes under the i'm
preston that life is game of chance is
going to get beaten. Life is what we
make it, and if you wFnt to get the best
out of it you have to watch the corners.
For instance, if you want to enjoy what
you buy, and at the same time do not
want to pay exhorbitant prices, you
must look around and find who is selling
the best goods at the most reasonable
prices.

T.. G.. PALMER

+. C. Palmer is again candidate for
reelection TO the office of County
Treasurer. We are convinced by the
best possible s-experience-tha
he is the very best man that could be
named for this important office. Mr..
Palmer has been in the office of the
County Treasurer for a good many
years-eight years as deputy, and
four as Trcasurer-and knows every
little twist in the business. In the
four years that he has held this Of
flee, he has shown to the voters of
Gunnison county his fitness for the
office in every manner. Mr.. Palmer
is known all over the county and state
as a Cracker jack" bookkeeper and
accountant. He has conducted the bus
mess of his office in such a manner
that every voter, whether Democrat
or not must admit that he is the very
best treasurer Gunnison County has
ever had. So, when you come to the
polls, Mr.. Voter, bear in mind the
fact that we must have a good County
Treasurer, the best overland to have
him, we'll have to elect Guy Palmer.

office that the saving to the county
because Of his knowledge Of property
that would otherwise escape taxation
runs INTO the thousands every year.
Yet wIthal the people have the utmost
confidence in the fairness Of his as
scSsm"nts.

has done this.
Isn't it worth while keeping such
man in the responsible office he
holds for another two years. Neither
the party nor Pat has 4 word to say

ticket He is a good man. But in
these war times and with the fine rec
ord Pat has made, it will be the part
Of wisdom and good judgment to keep

graduating from the latter.
But Miss Waterman did not stop

Since the establishment of the Normal
school here, Miss Waterman has tax

the Masters degree last summer.
Miss Waterman taught in the public
schools of this county for number Of

superintendent during the past two
years. While she has been in office
she has proved 10 be very capable and
