WElDONA WINs'OvEe RAYMER

Our local baseball team went
.downsto defeat before the WeIdons
aggregation last Sunday to the
tune OF Three to two, II was a fast
game from start to finish, and CON-
paratively free from errors on eth.
er side. 1t was anyone's victory
up to the finishing inning, and the
players on both sides acquitted
themselves nobly. A good crowd
of faas TUNED out to witness the
contest from here, and, reinforced
by the. Weldona crowd of rooters,
created considerable noise, indicat.
ing that the gathering was sure in
terested and in a happy frame of
mind. Those attending, fespond-
ed quite literally when the hat
was passed for,a contribution.
Next Sunday our boys meet the
Greeley team on the Raymer diam
ond. A good, evenly matched game
is anticipated.

get You on the list and then come
onto you aud force you to pay for

fishing a newspaper for a quarter
Of century and have never had to

MUD AND WAlskEY MIX

George Plue, whose automobile
load Of liquor became submerged
in a mud hole near Galeto Thurs
day night and was later taken pos
session Of by the county author
tiles was fined $500 and costs in
Judge Ewing's court Friday eve
ming. Judge Ewing ordered the
Ford belonging to Plue be sold at
auction. "a
According to the statute, any
balance remaining from the money
received for the sale of a confiscat-
ed oar is TO be turned over to the
school fund. Inasmuch as Plue's
car was a used Ford it is probable
that the sale price will not cover
the fine and costs. In that case,
Plue will either have to pay the
deficit in cash or work out the bal
ance at the county jail.
As a result Of the fact that two
automobile loads Of whiskey were
stuck in mudhole at Galeton the
attention Of the coanty authorities
has been drawn to the fact that
many farmers are disregarding the
law and allowing water from their
bitches 10 flood the highways. A
heavy penalty may be imposed on
farmers who allow irrigation water
to flood public roads, Greeley

Going Right Along.

In watching the numerous bank
statements, it is pleasing to us to
note that no bank Of the age Of the
Raymer bank makes a statement
50 creditable. II is SO pleasing to
note that all the banks in this part
of Weld county make good show
ings, better than the average. In
this connection, we may add that
the papers these statements are
published in indicate that Raymer
need not be ashamed to compare
its newspaper with other towns,
either. We hear Others say this
as well as feeling that it is true,
but we hope to make it more ap.
parent as time goes on.

We Rise to Ask.

When the Legislature gets to
work (Y) and the newspapers begin
to comment on said work, it strikes
one as passing strange how the
people Of the state managed to
pick the one hundred biggest fools
and knaves to make laws, when
there were so many men living
within its borders that know just
what should be done and what
should be left undone TO make this
section Of the nation one continu-
GUS paradise.

Old Heidelberg

The Rex Theatre treated its pa
irons last week to one of the best
photo-plays coming to our COM
munlty since the opening OF the
movies here.
nOld Heidelberg" was the title
Of the play and the story was spun
about the boyhood and later the
college days of a German prince at
Old Heidelberg. The final reel
Of the feature dealt with his eleva-
tion to the throne. OF course the
picture had its love plot; the prince
was enamored of country lass
that he met in his childhood. The
rules Of royalty would not permit
/ cttlle copsummation Of that love-
The parting of the lovers on the
eve Of the princes marriage to q
princess Of an adjoining kingdom,
was touching scene and filled
with pathos.
The object of the picture was to
convince, evidently, the general
herd that the hereditary ruling
classes are a very unhappy folk
The management of the Rex is
giving the people Of this modest
village entertainment equal to that
enjoyed by the larger cities. 1t
is evident to anyone schooled in
the simplest mathematics that there
is nothing in tbe game for them
except the satisfaction they derive
from staging a clean, high-class
movie program
The Enterprise has received a
check from the Greeley Fourth Of
July committee for the publicity
given their celebration. These
committees are sometimes remiss
in such things, but they get roast
ed for their neglect. When they
are prompt, we wish to be equally
willing to make Acknowledgements.
