ROUNDUP TO HAVE CRACK
BALL TEAM COMING YEAR
Archie Conley Back in Roundup and ls
Already Preparing for 1914 Base
ball Season.

Archie Conley, who was one of the
stars on Roundups ball team in 1912,
and who last year played with Lewis
town in the Midland league, Is back
in Roundup and will make his hme
here. Con" is already busy lining up
fer the 1914 baseball season, and
promises Roundup a crack team, it
being his intention to gather together
bunch of players that will transport
local fans to the highest ecstasy of de-
light. After a year Of lstless ball
playing Roundup will be ripe for
another real ball club the coming sea
son, and it is a foregone conclusion
that the club will not be hampered
by any financial stringency by reason
Of lack Of interest.
Among the players that have al
ready been signed up in tentative
way are Johnny Hopkins, pitcher of
Lewistown. Jim McQuad of Lewis
town, who will be remembered by
local fans as the Judith Basin metro
polls classy short stop when they
played here during the 1912 season;
and the Ehrig brothers, both pitchrs
Ct some note. 1t IS also probable that
Ike Nelson, Roundups old catcher,
may be induced to return from Glen
dive where he is now located. If no
other players but those mentioned are
secured, splendid team could be
built UP with the aid of local players,
a number of whom are some pump
kins themselves.

EVERYBODY HAD A MERRY
CHRISTMAS IN ROUNDUP
Poor and Unfortunate Adequately Re-
membered-Churches Give Ella.
borate Entertainments.

1t is safe to say that no one went
hungry on Christmas day in Roundup
or it's vicinity. If anyone did it was
certainly not the fault of the commit
tees of the various organizations Of
the city, who always remember the
poor during the yuletide. The leaders
in this work this year, as well as last,
was probably the local aerie of Eagles
This committee fairly secured Round
up and the camps for folks to whom
the coming of Christmas day meant
only another day of short and poor
rations. Over twenty families were
provided with substantial order Of
groceries and a few knicknacks
minder of the season The local bar
tenders union contributed literally to
the needy ones, and other organiza-
tons did effective work towards max
ing this happy season for the less
fortunate. Even the high school girls,
imbued with the fine spirit Of charity,
solicited contributions and placed one
family beyoad the danger Of want for
quite time.
The churches, as usual, gladdencd
the hearts of the little ones with their
Christmas trees and entertainments.
To these, the poor children We're just
as welcome as those more comfortably
situated ard all were treated alike
and bountifully with fruit, candies.
nuts and gifts of various sorts.
It has been happy Christrlas; a
Christmas worthy of Roundup.

MERCHANTS WELL PLEASED
Holiday Business Far in Excess Of
That Of Previous Years.

The Christm2s season just past has
been one of great satisfaction to those
in business here. Anticipating a big
holiday business because of the won
derful crop that was harvested in Mus
selshell county during the last season,
and from the fact that the mines have
been working continuously all the year
the local merchants placed orders for
a much greater amount of holiday
goods this Year than ever before.
And their expectations were certainly
realized. Steady streams of shoppers
poured through their establishments,
denuding their counters and shelves.
They gave up the idea of keeping their
stocks perfectly arranged several days
before Christmas eve. Their whole
attention and all their energies had
TO be directed to supplying the wants
of the customers who crowded in to
be supplied with things they desired
- purchase. The merchants all state
that never before have they cleaned
cut so thoroughly their holiday lines,
and the gross business done this
Christmas was probably nearly double
the amount done last year

Several w6ll-paid teaching positions

viii probably be filled by men from
other countries because Of a lack OF
trained men in the United States with

according TO L. A Kalbach, chief
clerk of the bureau OF education. On
several occasions lately, Mr.. Kalbach
points out, the bureau Of education

those who might qualify in other par
uculars can not speak the language.
The American minister TO Panama
recently asked the United States gov
e-Dment to recommend candidates for
positions as professor of industrial
arts. professor Of agriculture, and
professor OF veterinary medicine in
Panama. Salaries up 70 s2,4Oo and
other inducements were offered. The
bureau of education communicated
with various institutions and organi-
cations thai usually have lists Of
available candidates, but in this case
the response was meager, because Of
the language requirement. None OF
our industrial arts experts speak
Spanish" wrote an officer of one OF
the best known teacher-training in
stitutions. Others declared that while
they knew OF men who would meet
the requirements, so far as profess
sjonal attachments and teaching ex-
perience were concerned, they knew
OF none who had the added require
ment of Spanish.
Spanish is, OF course, taught in
many American institutions of learn
ing. but. the bureau officials point
out, comparatively few students avail
themselves of the opportunity TO
learn il. Sometimes students feel
that a high school or college course
in Spanish will not furnish the nee
essary conversational knowledge
This difficulty has long been recog-
nized in all modern language instruc-
ton, and in Spanish, particularly
practical control of the language is
now insisted upon.
Furthermore, opportunities for prac-
tice in speaking Spanish are con
stantly increasing. Better transpor
tation facilities are making the Unit

hand knowledge of the language, lit

It is considered probable that ont
reason why Americans have been SLOW
to learn a foreign language for u.s.
abroad is TO be found in the fac
that there has been little necesslt,
