STAMP IN YOUR SHOES.
The Union Stamp, We Mean! For It
Ought to Be There.

Have you got the union stamp in
your shoes? o, I didn't think to look
for it!'
Well, you never miss looking for
your own label, do you?
You haven't any more right as a
union carpenter to buy "scab" shoes
than the union boot and shoe worker
has to hire a "scab" carpenter. And
if he hired "scab" carpenter and
you found it out, wouldn't you make
a holler?
Then play fair. If you are union
man with a pair of ''scab" shoes on
your feet there is something wrong
about your unfonism. 1t is your duty
to look for the stamp, and your duty
to refuse to buy any shoes that do not
bear it,
Demand the union stamp in your
shoes, and accept none without it.
Seventy-five per cent of the shoes that
do not bear the stamp are made by
prison labor.

Baseball

On last Sunday afternoon the Will
lard boys and the Estancia Reds again
crossed bats, this time on Estancia
grounds, resulting in a tie-score of Is
to Is. The game was interesting and
was closely watched by good sized
crowd. Some of our boys tried to
make it close game by reporting the
score to the News as one to one. But
we couldn't swallow that as our boys
are not experts by any means, although
they can all "play ball."
Next Sunday the Estancia boys will
play the Moriarty team here at Estan-
cia. The Mcintosh and Willard teams
will cross bats at Mcintosh.

The twenty-five horse power traction
engine recently purchased by Reed
& Cunningham was unloaded on We'd
nesday by Agent Jones Of Dallas.
Texas, representing the Russell En-
gine Company Of Massillon, Ohio.
The engine presents fine appearance
and will no doubt do the work. The
wheels have tires two feet wide, with
an additional eXtention of twelve in
ches which may be added or left off at
pleasure. The pIows will be rugged up
and attached, and as soon as the ground
is dry enough to turn the sod, sthe trial
will be made on the claim of Mr.. MIS-
bett northeast of town.
If the engine walks along in the field
as prettily as she came off the fat-car,
there can be no kick against it.
