president in 1913, he organized the Wisconsin-Illino League, the Nevada State League, the Colorado Utah Lea que, and forty local leagues in Chica- go.
 My scheme is to have league in every regiment" explained MT. Powers. These can be organized by the Y. M. c. A. physical directors and by elimination produce their cham pion teams. The regimental champ ions will have contests for the divis- ion champions will fight for the corps championship. Eventually will come the series for the championship of the Army, which will be the same as the World Championship if baseball is shut down in this country. All the best young players affected by the War Department ruling will be in the Army,
 "lhis carrying real baseball to the soldiers isn't just a time-Killer but a necessary measure to keep up the morale Of our boys over there. Noth- ing could be better for them than to have these games than get so many of the soldiers into the sport and en- certain all the others Tn a clean, healthy manner"
 MT. Powers leaves behind the act i've control of six local newspapers i'll Chicago. He was a professional base ball player from 1895 to 1897 and had signed with Rochester for 1898 when he enlisted in the Navy for the Span- ish-American War. He served as a gunner on board the Indiana at the Battle of Santiago. Returning, he be- came a baseball writer, newspaper owner and later league organizer. He recently organized a big Thrift Stamp parade in Chicago. When the call for Y. M. c. A. Physical directors was made he saw chance to serve the Army.

 Beautifying Cream
.AA~@M@@@@@@a@@@@@@@@

The juice of two fresh lemons straned into bottle containing three ounces of orchari white makes a whole quarter pint of the most re- markable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this To- tion will keep fresh for months .Ev- cry woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blem- ishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smooth CT and beautifier.
 Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra grant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face- neck, arms and hands. It naturally should help to soften. freshen, bleach and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. It is simply marvellous it smootnens. rough red hands.-(Adv.)

Organized baseball is not killed, it merely is transferred to somewhere in France for the duration of the war.
 Such is the expressed opinion of John Thomas Powers, organizer and president of the late Federal League, who is going to France with the we'll detailed intention of gridironing that fair land with baseball leagues of gradually increasing importance, from the sandlots teams which practice in No Mans Land up to the real big lea gue champions which will settle the supremacy on diamonds in the south of France next winter.
 The next World Championship Baseball Series will be decided Somewhere in France" says John Thomas Powers, and while he does not go sa far as to predict the exact leagues which will clash in this classic so far from it's native heath, he con- cedes it may lue between the Y. M. c. A. League leader and the K. of c. League topliner.
 MT. Powers is going to France as a physical director, with special atten- ton to the organizing of baseball "ov- CT there." In addition to organizing the Federal league, of which he was

0zARk MUROERERS
 NOT DRAFT RESISTERS
Established Thursday That the Man Charged With Staying Had Been Registered.

Ozark, Aug. S.-It was definitely established today that the men who killed Jim Woods, aged 27 of Cecll' near that place on Tuesday night, were not draft resisters or deserters. The two men in jail here charged With killing Woods say they are brothers: They give their name as Scott, and say they came to the Cecil nelgnbor- hood with two brothers, all of them living in Oklahoma
 One of the Scotts in jail has reg istration card showing he was regis tered under the selective service act while serving a time in the penlten- tiary
 This man has been identified as the one charged with killing Woods. He was shot in return by Neal Ford, the young son of County Judge K. K. Ford, on whose farm the Scotts took refuge.
 The other man in jail says he was too young to register at the time Of registration. Their brother, who es- capped, they say, is too old. The young Scott and the one who escaped were arrested at Ozark Monday, it devel- oped today, on suspicion of being draft resisters. They were released after an investigation.
 J. F. Benson, at whose home the Scotts were staying has made his es- cape. It was thought he had taken re- fuge under his house, but such was not the case. There were seven men in the posse that battled with the men. The posse, under the leadership of Constable Horton, called at the ! Benson home to arrest the Scotts for stealing chickens.
 Mrs. Benson told them that they had left, and while the possemen were leaving they discovered Mrs. Benson hurrylng to thicket behind the Ben son home. She went to an old house On the Ford farm, where Benson and the men were concealed. The posse followed, and upon its arrival the bat tie started.

PRIESTS OPPOSE:
 SINN FEINERS

Dublin, July 12.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.) s.)-Some Of
 the older Irish priests, particularly
 in County Wexford, have been speak
 ing out strongly against the Slnn
 Feiners. Reverand Canon Walsh, presiding at a meeting of the Cross
 abeg and Ballymurn branch of the United Irish league, said the prospect
 before Ireland was a gloomy one, as
 the criminal lunacy of Sim Fein'
 was turning all Ireland's friends against her. By insulting and tram
 bling the American flag ond cheer
 ing for Emperor William, he said. the "unruly Sim Fein faction" was
 turning the French republic, the American nation and the English de- mocracy into bitter enemies of Ire land.
 Rather than gain independence for Ireland they were more likely to
 gain twenty years of coercion and martial low if any general support
 were accorded by Irishmen to the antics of the miserable faction"
 whose record. said Canon Walsh, so far, was one of dissension. disruption and disaster. The democracy of Eng land, he continued, was favorably dis posed toward Irishmen and was will7
 ing to give them justice, but they would never consent to the sheer
 lunacy of total separation and, until the evil spirit of Sim Fein was ban ished from the land. Ireland would labor under the yoke of oppression. Resolutions were passed at the meeting condemning the latest Ger man outrage in murdering seven in-
 nocent fishermen off the Galway coast and denouncing the Gaelic l leasue as "a feeder of Sim Fein."

BOLSHENIk ARE ROUTED.

London, Aug. S.-After the occupa- tion of Archangel by the allies, the Bolsheviki withdrew across the Rive Dvina, and on August were again driven out of their positions there, chiefly by shell fire, according to news received today. The allies have since pushed rapidly southward along the railway toward Vologda.
 The hostile forces so easily over- come at Archangel numbered about 5000 men, comprising 1,500 armed Maximalists, 400 Laps, some 900 Ger mans and 5000 workmen. Large 7quantiti S of rolling stock and stores were captured by the allies, as we'll as two heavy batteries.

The more and more serious the war
becomes the greater is the need Of

it then in the big drive that begins

On Monday, the great National Red

great deal of money must necessarily
be raised in the United States for this
wonderful work. In Gunnison the
minimum is set for $4,000, but no one
has thought of letting it stay there
but rather putting it as far over the
top as the recent Liberty Loan.
Cards have already been sent out to
the neighboring towns, and talks have
been begun. Many Of the miners in
the coal camps have agreed to give Q
days wages. This will mean a great

HIGH SCHOOL AND STATE
NORMAL BOARDS WAIT
FOR LEGAL ADVICE

At the meeting of the county high
school committee Wednesday, many
persons were heard with ideas about
the site Of the proposed High School
building. A. L. Wilson, J. N. Flick,
Mrs. Cara Spann, and Miss Verna
Waterman were present. They finally
decided that it was economical and
wise to locate the building on the
south side Of the present State Normal
campus, provided good and sufficient
title can be secured to the grounds.
The original Normal School enabling
oct called for 40 acres as q site. The
trustees secured 43 acres. Later that
day, in taking action on the matter,
the State Board of Normal Trustees,
who met here, decided to Immediately
survey off three acres south of the
present Normal building and its pro-
posed extension, and by resolution ask
ed the attorney general Of Colorado
to determine the legality of trans
fer from the state.
The proposed plan will enable the
entire system of school buildings to be
heated from one central plant, and
make other very desirable and econo-
mical combinations.
However, until the attorney general
assisted by Judge E. M. Nourse, Of
Gunnison, who has been retained as
attorney for the High School Board
have decided upon certain legal points
the whole matter is in abeyance. An
other meeting is set for June IL

CUNNISON HAS HIGHEST
PER CAPITA VALUATION
Probably This Is Due to Large Amount
OF Railroad, Mining and Corpora
tion Property Here Included.

Calculations made by the State I'm
migration Bureau from the reports of
the State Tax Commission show that
the per capita assessed valuation of
property in Colorado, is $1,276.39. The
lowest per capita valuation is for Baca
county, $513.O7, and the highest for
Gunnison, $2,621.17. Nine counties
have per capita valuations lower than
$1,000 and seven have higher than
5000. The per capita figures are
based upon estimated populations and
obtained by the State Board Of Immi-
grafton within the past few months.
This is fine showing, tho we need
not get puffed up too much as the
wealthiest bunch of people in the state,
for a good deal of that valuation
comes from the large amount Of rail-
road property, the coal lands, and
the mining and marble claims. How
ever, we have no doubt the ranchmen
as a class, are better fixed than any
similar commpnity in the safe, while,
as for townfolks, we are in comfort
able circumstances, thank you.

taught as head of the department of
education; he has managed the Coop;
he devised and has maintained the
Boys Club, a dormitory for boys away
from home, place of wholesome rec
reation for all the boys Of the school.
For the Western Slope teachers he has
been head of the school service bureau
and extension lecturer. The commun-
ity he has served in many ways, per-
haps chiefly by his influence upon its
boys in the Boys Club and the boy
scout organization. In all relations
his idealism has been an inspiration
that will never quite vanish from the
lives that have touched his. In him the
school makes a great gift to the cause
that now demands the supreme sacri-
fee from US all.
