Thomason left last night for Louis
Vile. His last performance was a
pretty good one. He hit safely twice,
once beating out a bunt, but had no
chances in the outfield. 1t really
seems a shame to let one of the few
real hitters on the team go.

Saturday Nights Wedding.

A leading society event of last
week was the marriage on Satur-
day of Rebecca, adopted daughter
OF Mr. and Mrs. Juan &. Macs, to
Candido. son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Candelario Suaso of Mogote. The
young people were married at s
o'clock in the morning by Rev.
Father Brucker at Conejos and
accompanied by their best friends,
Epimenio Mestas and wife of Los
Cerritos, drove to La Jara which
was reached about noon. The
wedding guests, who had been as
sembling at the home of the brides
parents since the day before, met
the bridal party on Main street at
the State Bank corner. The party
alghted from their carriage and
headed by an orchestra of stringed
instruments a procession was form
ed numbering almost $50 intimate
friends and relatives. which
marched to the Macs residence
where the afternoon was spent in
feasting During the afternoon
almost the entire population of La
Jara visited the house where each
guest was served with "A bountiful
repast costing in the aggregate
several hundred dollars.
T The young couple received many
beautiful and useful presents.
Among the guests from out of
town were, Candelario Suaso and
wife and Salvador Montoya and
wife from Mogote; Epimenio
Nestas and wife from Los Cerritos
Ramon Valdez and wife, Lucas
Mestas and wife and Felix Gale
gos of Capulin; two sisters of Mr.
Macs from San Luis and many
others,
In the evening the wedding
dance was attended by SO large a
crowd that the NJ. w. A. hall was
filled to its utmost capacity. An
orchestra of two violins and "A
guitar from Antonito furnished
fine dance music. In accordance
with the Spanish custom the bride
started to show her wedding gowns
by making frequent changes of
costume but the crowded condition
of the ball room wrought such
havock with the tinery that after
"A couple of changes the plan was
abandoned. The merriment was
continued until late hour.

Beet Growers Dissatisfied

There is trouble in sugar beet
districts and it is all because of a
bug under the rug. The beets
were wormy last year and the
factories fined the growers most of
their profits, now they are sending
out experts teaching the farmers to
spray but having lots of trouble
getting contracts signed. Its easy
to get IA sugar factory now because
IA lot of them want to move and
are moving to any place where
they can get sufficient acreage
signed up. A sugar factory would
be fine for this valley if they
would tote fair but the trust is
never willing to even split the
losses from an off year with the
farmer. The sugar company must
have its profit and sometimes
resorts to questionable means to
procure it. There is one remedy
and that is, make them write it in
the contract.
