The Snowflake herald., 1918-12-20

Although town of some age, IN many
ways young and new. The people are ener-
getic, frugal, God-fearing, law abiding, hu-
manity-loving community They extend a
welcoming hand to all who may sojourn in
their midst and encourage settlers of the
sort who make A M ERIC A n HOMES.
Snowflake has, perhaps, one Of the best eli
mates Of the United States. The altitude
high, the people are free from the lassitude
common to lower attitudes. The land is fer
tile and watered from the pure waters of
the mountain stream, produces hay, grain,
vegetables and fruits in quantity and quail
ity not excelled
The town, although some forty years old,
being built in the main of substantial ma
terial, has the air Of permanency not often
seen. Modern conveniences are rapidly be-
ing added to the older residences, while the
newer ones are examples of modern-day
structure, and exhibit asthetic taste of ease,
elegance and refinement
Snowflake has just recently added to her
necessities an efficient electric lighting sys-

she can expect an increased proportional
growth as against former times. The moral,
religious, social and educational atmosphere
of the town is of the best. Should be mark
ed up 100 per cent good.
Financially, the people are practically IN
dependent, perhaps 90 per cent owning their
own homes, maintaining themselves from
the lands and herds Of stock.
Snowflake is the centrally located town OF
Navajo County, and being so situated will
become strong business and financial cen
ter. Good roads connecting with all parts
of the county, outside railroad connection,
also in close proximity to the vast pine for
est areas and proven coal fields, an era OF
prosperity is the promise of the future. Ge-
ologists have located the oil fields Of the
county right up to our very doors, and pros
pect holes are now being bored close to our
outer gates
Affiliate with and align yourself on the
side of Snowflake and participate in the
good things within her reach. The desir-
ableness of Snowflake's beauteous location
cannot be told.

GOOD THINGS.

rershinE probably soon will be COM
mandinG French and British troops As
the process OF brigading American
units with their allies on the western
front goes forward
AS If excmplifying the unity OF com
mand and action into which tho United
states and It's cobell!gcren;s have en-
tered. il became known here to day that
whenever American troops prcdominatc
in the briGadcd divisions as the pro-
cess goes on. these divisions. under
present plans. will be turned over to
General pcrshings command
This plan would accomplish several
things which tho military authorities
consulting upon 1t regard as very de-
srable. II would apidly increase the
size OF the American lighting command
on the battle line: II would contribute
tremendously to the spirit Of unity and
concerted effort. and at the same time
instead OF holding large numbers of
American troops behind the line while
training, would surround them with
seasoned veterans and under actual bat
tie conditions school them TO be re-
brigaded later with fresh American
troops coming TO France. In this way.
the efficiency of the British and French
forces is expected to be increased and
the work of building up a great, fully
trained and completely equipped fight
ing force in France hastencd.
GENERAL FOCH DIRECTS
THE ITALIAN FORCES
IN addition to this, as illustrative OF
tho unity OF command under which
Gcneralissimo Foch directs all the al
lied armies, 1t was stated officially here
to-day that Foch commands tho Italian
troops in Italy as fully as he does tho
American, British and French troops
ir France and Belgium. There has been
no question that Foch commanded the
Italian troops n France and 1t had
been supposed that considering the
Italian front as part Of the western
battle under decision reached at the
Versailles conference. the Eencralis-
simo's authority extended there.
For the first time. however, II WAS
stated unrcscrvedly that General Foch's
supreme command extended TO Italy.
1t was stated also that Italy. besides
sending troops TO France in numbers
equal 10 those being sent from the
United Statcs. now has on her lighting
lire a larger army more perfectly
equipped than she had before tho great
Austrian drive. This may he cxplana-
tory Of the apparent cquanimity with
which the allied leaders face recurrcnt
reports OF now drive on tho Italian
front.
