ONLY TWO WESTERN
STARS PURCHASE
Buying Season Closes and, Starting
Today, All Western Loop Ath-
letes Eligible to Draft,
MANY ARE TO BE DRAFTED

But two Western league players were
purchased by major league clubs this
year. Yesterday the season on purchas-
ing closed and all players in the league
are now eligible to the draft. George
Mogridge Of Des Moines and Dazzy Vance
OF st. Joseph, both twiriers. were the only
players Sold Both pitchers were bought
by the New York Yankees.
That applications for a number OF
Western league athletes will be made in
the draft Is certain. The number of
scouts who have visited this territory and
then returned for a second investigation
OF the potential ivory proves that point,
Sutton of Brooklyn, Davis. Kelly and
Farrell OF the Yankees. Thomas of the
Athletics. Murphy of the Cubs. Doyle of
the White Sox, Fraser and Ryan OF
Washington. Kinsella of the Giants, Con-
molly Of the Cardinals and numerous other
well-known ivory hunters from the big
timber have made repeated Western
league visits.
Links to he Drafted.
Ira Sutton of Brooklyn admitted when
In Omaha the other day that the Dodgers
would put in bid for both McGaffigan
and Dawson of lincoln in the draft and
probably Ernie Kruger. Sutton, It is
also thought, will recommend that Carl
Sawyer OF Des Moines be drafted. 1t ia
practically certain that the New York
Americans will put in a draft for Krue-
ger II they have not already purchased
him, report to the latter effect coming
from New York. but it could not be veri-
fled in Omaha.
1t is expected that Bruce Hartford and
Carl Sawyer Of Des Moines Shocks Nc
Gaffigan and Rex Dawson of Lincoln
Ernie Kruger OF Omaha and possibly
Fritz Schliebner. Jim Galloway of Den.
yer and Choke EN- Monroe of Topeka
will be asked in the major league draft
One Player from a Club.
Only one player from a team can be
procured in the draft Drawings are
made to find which player Will be drafted
and which club will secure the player II
more than one club drafts. with nearly
all OF the above mentioned athletes it II
thought several clubs will draft.
Following the major draft the class IA
leagues get a crack at the Western. Some
of the players who fall to go to the ma,
jors. being eliminated in the drawings
will probably be caught in the Double A

To the Members of Missionary So.
ciety of Monroe City, Mo.
My Dear Sisters: | awakened this
morning to hear the birds singing
at my bedroom window and the
sun shining so brightly and the
flowers blooming so profusely that
l could scarcely realize that it is
Thanksgiving Day. so different from
the weather I have been accustom
ed to in November. Nevertheless l
know that today we the people of
this our blessed country are united
in praise and thanksgiving for the
many blessings that are ours. Not
because we merit it. but because of
His great love. And as looked up
to Him and thanked Him for the
wonderous and gracious way in
which He had cared for me and
mine my thoughts turned eastward
to you my dear women and | asked
him to give each one of you a very
Happy Thanksgiving with your dear
ones. | am truly grateful today
for His loving care and although
away from home and friends, God
is very good to me and he has
abundantly blessed me.
After a delightful trip through
Kansas and Nebraska, we reached
Denver, Colorado on Saturday even

leaving there Sabbath morning just
as the Church bells were calling the
people to church. | wanted so
much to spend Sunday there and
attend services in one of our Meth
odist Churches but we could not.
There are so many places of inter
est passing through Colorado
can only mention them, Palmer
Lake, a beautiful spot; Elephant
Rock, Colorado Springs, Pixies Peak,
etc. At Pueblo, we had a stop OF
40 Minutes and we left our train
and took a walk, and enjoyed the
mountain scenery. Our trip through
the Royal Gorge was delightful and
wonderful, and the sunset Oh the
mountains just as we came out of
the gorge was beautiful and beyond
description. Then we travelled
on over the Tennessee Pass, an
elevation of 10,242 #. commonly
called The Top of the World" The
