GIRLS
ARE PLANNING
BASKET BALL
Series OF Games viii BE Played At
Which Audience Will BE Limit
ed to Instructors

Eaton, March 1l.-Not to be out
done by the high school boys the
high school girls of the Eaton and
Ault schools have entered the
basket ball game arena and will
play a schedule of games to be wit
messed, however, except by their
directors, Superintendent Black OF
the Eaton high school and Superin-
tendent Beardsley of the Auit
school, by members of their sex
only. The first game was played on
the floor of the Eaton gymnasium
Saturday afternoon with Prof.
Beardsley as referee and the score
resulted in favor of the Eaton
girls. 1t was 8 to 1. Preliminary
to this game the eighth grade girls
of the two schools pulled on q
good game with a record OF 2 to
/ in favor of Ault.
The Eaton boys have won place
for themselves in the athletic cir
cles of the state and it looks very
much as if the Eaton girls we're to
take laurels in the same line. The
Eaton High school has well-eqip-
ped gymnasium and the sentiment
of the teachers and OF the town is
for clean athletics and gymnastics.
The fact that the Eaton teachers
and the Eaton business men nave
classes in athletics under high
school director shows the interest
in this branch of science in Eaton.

BROTHERHOOD
TAKES STAND
FOR ELECTION
Evans Church Organization Will
Try to Keep Town in Anti
Saloon Territory

Evans, March S.-Guests of the
Congregational Brotherhood last
night .ormed committee interest
ed in the maintenance of Evans as
anti-saloon territory, laid the mat
ter of a necessity for earnest work
by both Greeley and Evans to keep
the saloon out of Evans. The COM
mittee consisted of Mayor Chalfant,
w. F. Smith, r. ID. Crook and Mart
Briggs. The meeting was not con
fined wholly to a discussion of the
temperance topic but other sub
jects in a broad way touched upon
it. An address by DR.. Baily of Den
YER stirred his hearers when he de-
declared that each section of a ter
tory depended upon another and if
the highest moral uplft was to be
given to community the moral
condition of all sections must be
worked for. AS a result of the
meeting a mass meeting was call
ed Sunday afternoon in Greeley by
Congregational Brotherhood and
others at which time the matter OF
keeping Evans anti-saloon territory
will be fully discussed.

H0meSteaderS
are Sent Clothing
by Unity Ladies

The third shipment of supplies
for the Num- homesteaders collect
ed by the ladies of Unity Cicle was
sent the last of the week. There
were 400 pounds OF clothing and in
this collection there was tinware
and cooking utensils for the kitch-
ems. which are in many places
scantily furnished.
The ladies' of the Circle have sent
to the homesteaders over 1000
pounds of supplies this winter.
They were assisted by the Mothers
congress and the Rebekah lodge in
the last shipment and wish to ex-
press their appreciation for the
help.
1t was stated by one who knows
the condition of the district that
the homesteaders would have suf-
fered cruelty without the coal pro-
yided by the Philharmonic orches-
ira and the warm clothing sent by
the Greeley ladies'.

Theodore Roosevelt is over
whelmingly the favorite in the
straw presidential preference pri-
mary held by the Tribune last week.
1t is the belief that the vote is rep
resentative of the sentiment in
Weld county, The fact that the
progressive candidates, Roosevelt,
Wilson and Bryan, led in the race
indicates that the progressive senti-
ment in the county is general and
that the people of Weld have de-
serted the standpat crowd with its
steam roller tactics. Taft and Har-
mon, the conservatives of the two
leading parties, polled only about
one-fourth of the votes together
that Roosevelt did. They got only
two more votes together than did
Wilson. the leading candidate of
the democrats, who is a progress
sive.

WELL ATTENDED

The Philharmonic orchestra was
greeted by full house at the Or
pheum Sunday afternoon when the
regular bi-weekly concert was CIV
en-. The program was pleasing
throughout, notwithstanding the
fact that Morris NJ. Rathbun, the
celloist, was detained out of town
and the solos of the heavy numbers
were distributed to members OF the
orchestra who had not previously
rehearsed the parts. Director j. C..
kendel apologized for the rough
ness of the work, explaining the
cause.
The flute solo of Irish melodies
by DR.. H. w. Burnard was enthus-
iastically received and he graciously
responded to an encore, simple
Irish air.
Prof j. c. Kendel delighted the
audience with two Old Irish songs
and gave as an encore another
Irish melody.
The next concert will be given in
two weeks.

Interest in tile vote was greater

newspaper ballots taken in different
sections Of the country there was
but slight interest shown in proper

PRIMARY
ASSURED
IN Weld
REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COM
MITTEE HOLDS MEETING ON
SATURDAY - STEAM ROLLER
WRECKED BY rROGkESSlVES

Weld county republicans are to
have presidential preference pri-
mary. The date set is March IS.
from 3 to p. m.
The primary was secured only af-
ter a decidedly lively session OF the
county central committee Saturday
afternoon during which the old
steam roller was brought out,
patched up and freshly oiled for
business.
But the old machine began hit
ting ruts from the moment 1t was
started and was finally ditched al
together, 80 far as effectiveness at
this particular meeting was con-
cerned. The progressives won
sweeping victory hands down. and
unless all sign fail, solid Roose-
welt delegation will be sent to the
state convention in April.
After the meeting it was found
that nearly a dozen vacancies that
had occurred in the committee had
been filled by Chairman E. II. NC
| Clenahan. 1t was also discovered
that for the most part the vacan-
cies had been filled by Taft men.
which interesting condition started
battle royal which resulted in
three of the appointees being
thrown out. The Roosevelt forces
had learned that the chairman had
not been idle and they came to the
meeting prepared with signed pet-
tions for the appointment OF Roose-
welt men There was nothing lett
for the committee to do but to
grant the requests of the voters in
the precincts where there were va
cancies.
Big Mac pleaded hard for his ap'
lpointees, but was unable to ge'
away with his pathetic stuff. He
discovered that the Roosevelt sup
porters had been as wise as him
self in getting ready for the meet
ing and there was nothing left fol
him to do but take his medicine
Several postmasters appeared
among the Taft forces in Vallan'
effort to perpetuate their jobs. Iht

federal laws regarding federal ap
pointees seems to have been over

BRASS FOUNDRY
FOR GREELEY?

Is Greeley to have an iron and
brass foundry in the near future?
The rumor that such a foundry
will soon be started was substan-
tiated today by the report that an
out of town firm is contemplating
the establishment of the new enter
prise.
That Greeley needs such foun-
dry and has for years is apparent
for all broken castings from every
thing from threshing machine to
household furnishings must be sent
out of town, possibly great dis
tance to be replaced. In case of
broken machinery at harvest time
this often causes expensive delays.
1t is stated that the foundry will
make both iron and brass castings.
which will be higher class of work
than is done at the iron foundries
alone. The old iron of the vicinity
will supply part of the necessary
material for the foundry.

August Belmont, the biggest "Spug"
of them ALL Miss Elizabeth Marbury

do with art or science. The term
is a contraction for a new society
that Mrs. Belmont and the others
formed to abolish the custom of CIV

the title, Society. for the Prevention

title the initials Of the title are used,

Mrs. Belmont told the members of
