THURSDAY MORNING EVENTS

Thursday morning n splendid program
was rendered. The first event was
trick riding by Cowgirls in which Ruth
Roach and Mildred Douglas were the
main participants. This exhibition
was quite daring and spectacular.
The free-f -for-all half mile race was
close contest but there were only two
horses to make the finish, one refusing
TO start. Chas. Burkes won lst and
Henry Neafus End.
There were twenty contestants in
the steer roping, c. NJ. Coggins and
Joe McCracken making the best time
~ "a seconds. Only five failed to
rope their steers.
The range relay with nine compet-
tors was one Of the best events of the
week Henry Neafus won lst; Bill
Davis End; A. b. Bagley 3rd.
Steer Bulldogging was full of pep
and as usual was enjoyed by the
crowd. This daring feat was pulled
off in quick order and good time was
made. Lee Collier was the favoritc,
downing his steer in front of the
grandstand. In the steer riding he
was BOOu. mOSt VI the IlueIS uiu nOt
ride far as they were not allowed to
use sursingle.
One OF the features was the famous
Albuquerque bucking horse Dunn
Cone" owned by Miss Jerry King.
This famous outlaw bucker certainly
lived up to his reputation as the
worlds greatest bucking horse. As
the closing act Angelo Hughes, no.
ted Texas broncho buster, attempted
to ride Dunn Gone. Hughes looked
like winner for five full jumps, when
he was thrown so heavily that he was
unconscious for few minutes. Hughes
narrowly escaped having his neck
broken by the manner in which he was
thrown, and all who witnessed the
event are of the opinion that the horse
Justly deserves his title as one of the
greatest bucking hosres in the world.
Another nice shower Friday night

GERMAN LINE CRUMB.
LING AS ALLIES PUSH
FORWARD TWO MILES

The war situation of Thursday is
summarized by the Associated Press
as follows
| The German battle line in France
is still crumbing under the impetus
of the attacks of the British and
French.
From the region of Scissors around
the curve in the front to the vicinity
Of Lassigny, the enemy has been visit
ed with further heavy defeats, while
farther north, between the Somme
river at Bray to the south of Arras,
Field Marshal lIaig's men have con-
tinued their victorious thrusts.
The allies have captured a large
number of additional towns and van
tage points which in the further prose-
cution of the offensive are of the ut
most strategic value. Nowhere is the
enemy being permitted to pause for
breath. The armies of Haig, Mangin
and Hambert are pressing their ad-
vantage with Il strength that brooks
no denial of their efforts.
Thousands of prisoners, numerous
guns and machine guns and large
oNpi VI wal SbDBlltH lldNt bttll duu-
ed to the stocks already in allied
hands. To the British alone in the
past two days of fighting have come
more than five thousand prisoners.
In new offensive begun by Haig
from the north of the Somme to
Albert, an advance Of two miles east
ward already has been made over the
six mile front In this fighting, the
town of Albert, on the Ancre, the
keystone of the German defense pro-
tecting the Germans north of the
Somme, has been taken. Here the
British made l,400 Germans prison
ers. The Ancre river to the south OF
Albert was crossed by the British in
their drive thus forming serious
menace to the enemy around Bray.
where ut last reports the Americans
were in the battle line.
Desperate resistance has been Of
fered 30 the further eastward ad-
vance of the British in the sector i'm
mediately south of Arras, where the
important railroad town Of Bapaume
seems to be the immediate objective.
Particularly heavy fighting occurred
AT ACHlel-le-tTaHu, buJ alJnOuEn tne
town changed hands numerous times,
the vantage belonged to the British
at last accounts. Further important
penetrations of the enemy line had
occurred and the British were oper-
ating well to the east of the Ba-
paume-Arras railway.
Under the further progress of the
French armies from the vicinity of
Lassigny toSoissons, mighty wedge
seemingly has been driven in be-
tween the armies of general Won
Boehn and the German Crown Prince.
Over the entire front the Germans
have been further pushed back at
some distance from two to three
three miles and in the retrograde
movement, the enemy was forced to
abandon large numbers of guns.
Noyon is now all but enveloped.
The Divette river has been reached
and both the Disc and the Ailette
rivers have been crossed and the on
ward thrust of the French on the
eastern end of the line from scissors
northward seems likely to bring about
shortly the outflanking Of the import
ant town of Laon.

The Army chaplin, Mr.. Lane, had

Americans but the weather was too
bad that ! am afraid you will not be

and | know your grief will be great.
No words of mine can give you any
consolation, but God will help you.
Perhaps some day you will come over
to see his grave at the foot of the
Naeria in Suresnes. The Americans
have received plot of ground to lay
their brave soldiers who died fighting

France, July 27, 1918.
Mr.. Jose Gonzales,
Dear Grand Father:
Today is Sunday. am here writing
you few lines to let you know we
are getting along quite well, me and
brother and the other boys. They are
all well, Thank God!
Dear Grand Father, have a sad
word to tell you about your son Del
fido. The 9th of June, about p. m.
his hour came when ne was called to
die. He was killed by high explosive
shell. He did not last very long after
he was struck. He died like a man.
He said to me: Write to my father
and tell him that died in the battle
field of France. Tell him not to wor-
ry about me. We will meet in Heaven
sometime These words he told me
to write to you in case that he should
get killed in the front, so today | am
writing you the message. He told me
to write to you if he should get killed.
He told me before going to the front
a believe lam TO get killed this time
when we go to the front" He even
went to confession before going to the
front.
Dear Grand Father, we are all very
sorry, but what can we do? That was
the end of his career. We know where
we were born, but we never know
where we are going to die, and man
never dies til his time comes, no diff
ference where it is.
Dear Grand Father your son today
lies buried behind the great front in
France, and a little wooden cross is
there to mark his grave. There are
many other friends who lie there by
his side, resting in peace. | will now
close. Give best regards to my moth
er and father, sister and brother.
Your Grandson,

NO GRLSFOR
HOSIERY MILL
Scarcity of Operators Causes
Marysville Company TO Re-
move Plant From Town

MarysviIIe, Pa, Dec. Slater be-
ing in operation for period of two
years. the UnrlvaIed hosiery mill. in
Cameron street, has discontinued
operations entirely. The plant has
been operated here since its installa-
tion under the direction of A. c.
Lesher.
The reason for the suspension. as
explained by Mr.. Lesher. is that the
plant has never paid. because of the
inability to secure sufficient sup
ply Of girls to operate the machines
to produce hosiery in paying quanti-
ties. Only about a score of girls
were employed in the plant at the
time 1t was closed. although double
that number could have been used.
1t is understood.
The Unrivaled Hosiery Company
installed n plant in the Municipal
building here two years ago and for
a time things appeared to be pro-
ceeding well. and a new one-story
brick structure. 42xS4 feet, was con-
structed in Cameron street to house
the plant, The machinery was
moved there more than year ago.
Mr.. Lesher, manager of the local
plant, will soon remove from Marys-
Vile to Mahanoy City, where the un-
rivaled Company will soon open an
ether plant. Workmen will start re-
moving the machines from the Cam
eron street plant and some of ii will
be sent to the plant soon to be
opened
