NEW ASSOCIATION PLEASED
WITH IT'S FIRST SHIPMENT
Manager Bauer Takes First Car Of
Cattle to Kansas City for
cooperative.


Peter Bauer, secretary and man.
ager for the Holly Cooperative Live
Stock Shipping Association, recent
ly organized here, returned home
Saturday night from Kansas City,
where he had just marketed the
first car load of cattle shipped by
the association since its Organiza-
tion.
Manager Bauer left Tuesday of
last week and was on the market
Friday where he found fair range
of prices, running at from six cents
for Gamers to 12A for beef cows.
He had mixed car, in which Rob-
ert Riley had two veal calves for
which he received $4,000 or 13 cents
per pound.
The shipment also included COW
for j. H. Leonard of the Amity
Model Dairy farm, weighing some
thing like 1900 pounds, which
brought 12h cents per pound. All
the other stuff sold in proportion.
Mr.. Bauer says the only untoward
condition encountered was an alb
normal shrink due to heavy snow
storm en- route. The cattle became
chilled and did not drink the usual
amount of water.
But, a.. Al ali, Mr. Bauer says the
Holly association is well pleased
with Its first shipment,

LIBERTY LOAN
TO FINISH WAR JOB
Campaign Opens April n, Though
Details Have Not Been
Worked Out,

notwithstanding the fact that all
of the details concerning the Vic
tory Liberty Loan have not yet
been announced by Secretary Glass
of the United States treasury, it is
certain that the campaign for sub.
scriptions to the bonds will open
the latter part of April, or about
the 2lst.
The Loan is to raise enough mon
ey to enable the government to fin
ish the big war job by footing the
bills, bringing home the boys from
overseas and readjusting affairs to a
peace basis as quickly as possible
The Victory bill enacted by con.
grtss, authorizing the Liberty Loan,
is so broad in its essential prOvis-
ions as to enable the secretary of
the treasury to offer most attractive
bonds or notes for the American
people to invest their money in.
But the amount of the loan, the
rate of interest and the kind of
bonds or notes to be offered are
matters that are to be announced
later.
Tile important matter at hand at
this time, however, is for the people
of the Tenth Federal Reserve Dis
trict, who have prospered during
the war as never before, to get their
finances in shape to invest in Vic
tory Liberty Bonds to the limit of
their ability and thus help get the
war job finished and out of the
way.

Red Cross Chapter Made
Many Garments.
PRODUCE $1,000 WORTH
OF ARTICLES m TWO YEARS
Since Organization in 1917 Women
of County Have Made $4,000
Worth Of Knitted Goods, $4,000
Hospital and Refugee Garments.

PrOWers county women made q
record in war work in keeping with
the county's high standing in all
lines of patriotic endeavor accord
ing to the figures compiled by Miss
Bess Lawless supervisor of the
Prowers county chapter of the Red
Cross.
The chapter began organized

and the amount of materials turn
ed out since that time is astound-
ing.
Estimating the articles produced
at their regular retail value, the
women of the chatper produced
$4,000 worth of knitted goods, $l0,-
600 worth of hospital and refugee
garments, and 5000 worth of SUI.
gical dressings, or total of $31 900
worth during the past eighteen
months. A large part of the ma
terial used was purchased by the
local chapter from its own funds.
The surgical dressings were pre-
pared only by the Lamar branch of
the chapter, but the auXiliaries at
Holly, Granada, Bristol, Wiley,
Duer, Northway and Center Farm
did their full part in swelling the
total production of knitted goods
and hospital and refugee garments.
The production of these garments
on such large scale contributed
toward the winning OF the war, and
for that reason the hoysy in the
army have reason tofDe proud of
the service rendered by the loyal
women at home.
Detailed figures OF the total out
put of the Prowers county chapter
for the past eighteen months are as
follows:
Sweaters, 1856: wristlets 517;
socks, 1867: mufflers III; helmets
l46; bed seeks 1903; muslin under

Rocky Ford and Holly Friday
Night at Rocky Ford.

Holly High school retained her
standing in the league race by de
feating the La Junta High school
basket ball team last Friday night
by the score of % to 20. To have lost
this game was to lose all hopes of
winning the lead from Rocky Ford
for that team ran true to form and
defeated Fowler and retained the
league leadership. Holly High now
has second place won but is out
for first. Rocky ford has met her
only defeat of the season at the
hands of Holly and the boys are de-
termined to duplicate Friday night
at Rocky Ford.
The game Friday night while rea-
sOnably fast was mixed with con-
siderable roughness by both teams.
The Holly team play while good in
places did not show the finish that
was exhibited in other games. This
was probably due to the change in
lineup due to injury.
With a week of hard practice
the team should be in good shape
to enter the contest at Rocky Ford

Der of local enthusiasts have plan

l Writing to the Nugget from Unala. k1eet under date of August 3. that well known old timer Thos A. Powers says John lilly and a couple of mining partners from Marshal are prospectin on the Sheriski River tributary of Unalakleet river, and claim they have prospects sufficiently encourag ging to warrant taking in q years prospecting outfit The men say the. formation is very similar to that of Flat creek. | Mir Powers also states that brown bears have been creating havoc with the reindeer industry in the UnaIa- kleet section this summer. It is es- timated by some of the deer men that the bears have killed close to one hum dred deer notwithstanding that the herders are carrying arms and main tainng close guardianship over thei deer
 Mir Power says Roy Buck and T native deer herder encountered one of the bruins a few days ago. heading him off when in theeact of making for the herd. The native shot at distance Of about one hundred feet with a s0-3O rifle but the only effect was to iritate the bear and cause him to turn on the native. With q roar, the ami l nal headed for the native with the obvious intention of attacking. The native was plucky and held his ground but the animal was shot by Buck be- fore he could reach the Eskimo. Ac- cording to Mir Power the rifle used by Buck was 3O-4O army gun and Its impact was terrific. The ball struck
 the bear on the foreshouders and ploughed it's way entirely through the lhuge body. shattering both shoulder blades. The bear speedily gave up al
 inclination for reindeer meat along with its life.
 The letter also states that the schooner Hazel of Unalakleet wa. recently sold by. her native owners to Frank Williams of St Michael ant will be placed in the trading bushes. by her new owner. Williams contem plates installing twenty horse power
 engine and will place the schooner in first class shape.

Game Warden NJ. O. Solberg re-
 turned from a trip to the knZetrien river and Teller sections on the Arctic last night. During the course of the
 ports that Father Fortune and his as-
 sistants are preparing to build a new provide accommodations for the manag- ! ing staff and such visitors as desire to | avail themselves of the healing spring waters. Mir. Solberg dlso states that a sad fatality involving the death by drowning of small native girl occur red while he was in that section. The
 child was among the number of or pha ned native children who are being cared for at the springs. With a
 number of others. she was given per mission to go in bathing in the river and is supposed to have been carried away by the current before help could
 reach her.
 The Warden says there Is little or
 no salmon fishing going on in the Port Clarence section. As the same condi tion prevails along the greater part of the coast east of Nome. he is inclined to think that the fish are not running to q great extent between Nome and St. Michael this year. His recent trips
 have revealed that the catch is ab- normally light at all points along this section of the coast.

The inclination of many persons to
 return their war savings stamps since
 the resumption of peace is attracting
 the attention of the government, which
 practice owing to the prospect that the
 sales may necessitate the return of
 funds that are still greatly needed in connection with the restoration pro- gram.
 In Il copy of the Postal Bulletin re-
 gently received by Postmaster Walsh.
 the Postofcc Department presents the following urge to the public to retain
 their stamps until conditions are more
 stabalized. The article says: Many owners of staiaps are presenting them for pay
 ment, seemingly on. the assumption that the Government no longer needs the money received for them. While it is true the war is practically at an end. it is equally true that large part of the expenditures of the war must still be met by the sale of War Saving stamps and liberty .ioan bonds. The sudden termination of the war | left the Government involved fin eX- penses that might in part have been avoided if it had been known when the war was to end. but of course it was not possible to anticipate this event. The financial obligations of the war
 must therefore continue for many months. and the National Treasury
 needs the money received from the
 the sale of War Savings Stamps to aid
 in meeting them. The expenses of
 demobilizing the Army and Navy. the return of our boys from France. the cars of our sick and wounded soldiers, and other liabilities incident to the
 war; all call for continuance of the same patriotic effort that the owners
 of War Savings Stamps made during the tragic struggle"
 Although the practice has gained no great headway here, Postmaster Walsh is endeavoring to head off any inclination toward the present return of stamps and has forwarded copies or
