clare ourselves heartily in favor of
the spirit Of the law; tc cooperate ev-
cry way possible with the authorities

zpurposes in such articles.
1--WE want to do our part by not
supplying customers with such prep
arations until we have fully satisfied
ourselves that articles sold are not
to be used as a beverage. We would
also like for the citizens of our COM
munity to know that the promiscuous
sales of such preparations purported
to have been made in this county un-
der the guise of medicinal prepara-
tions, have not been sold by the un-
dersigned retail druggists, but if sold
have b<6n roush other channels.

Need EnumeratOrs
For County Census

The Chamber of Commerce again
urges upon the people Leflore County
the Importance of seeing that compe-
tent enumerators are provided for the
1920 census, beginning January End.
Three enumerators are allowed each
supervisors district, or beat, as we
term it. Every man who is interested
in maintaining and increasing the va
lue of his land, is directly and vitality
interested in seeing that the wealth
and population and resources OF this
county are properly represented in the
official census of the next ten years,
which is the recognized authority by
home-seekers and investors. If Le-
flore county's showing does not COM
pare favorably with that of other
counties and other sections, materi-
al damage will be done, and through
her own fault and neglect. Not only
every planter, but every supervisor,
every preacher, teacher, leader, or
public spirited citizen of any profess
ion or calling, should engage at once
in arousing the proper sentiment and
effort this matter. It will be hot only
an injury, but a crime ana disgrace
to this county for i single beat Of
town to slack particle III this work
Competent and energetic enumef
ators can easily make between ont
and two hundred dollars taking tn1'
census. Apply either to the CnamDel
of Commerce, Greenwood, or directly
to Emmett Harty, Supervisor Thir'
Census district, Greenville. Miss.

though Rousch probably covers the most territory. If Felsch was batting up to his 1918 standard this season, the center field position would be about a standoff.
 In right field, both clubs are more or less weak, Liebold has played good ball at times, as has Neale, but they are hardly up to the standard of either Jackson, Rousch. Felsch or Duncan.
 Both are fair clubbers and fair field CTS but neither are regarded as danger ous on the bases.
 As to secondary defenses in the gar dens, the Sox again have a margin.
 For example, Johnny Collins proved one of the sensations of the White Sox Giants titular series two years ago.
 His hitting was a big feature and. although woefully weak in fielding, he manages to keep up his average suffic- iently well to make him valuable man to the team. See, the Red recruit cause the White Sox hurlers much worry while Rube Bressler, a pitcher who was used great part of the sea- son in right fields, hits 'em hard but very infrequently. He, likewise, is not expected to cause the Gleason moundsmen much loss of sleep.
 In the final summary or the outfield- CTS, therefore, the Sox a slight margin, while the secondary defense gives the Sox bigger advantage.

 SEEK CAME WITH $. R. VALLEY CLUB
St. Paul Club Would Stop off in Phoenix Enroute to Coast to Play Title Series With Winner of Pacific Coast League Pennant

The Saint Paul club of the American association, one of two class AA leagues, is anxious to secure a game with some Sat River valley team en route to California, where it will play a series of games with the Pacific Coast league pennant winners for the worlds minor league championship.
 Information to this effect reached Phoenix yesterday and the St. Paul club is now awaiting some definite answer Nothing was said in the com munication in regards terms so it $ presumed that the team would De willing to stop off here for a game on a basis of percentage of the gate.
 The only handicap to such an event Is the lack of suitable playing field. With the recent demolition of the Riverside park diamond, Phoenix does not support solitary enclosed baseball field. This is a thing to De regretted, especially in view of the fact that the city now has an oppor- tunity to see one of the fastest teams outside of the big leagues in action and at an expense, it is believed, for the price of class D exhibition.
 The American association and the Pacific Coast leagues ere the two fast est organizations outside of the Amer ican and National circuits. The St. Paul club is to meet the winner of the Pacific Coast league pennant in a series of games to determine the worlds title among minor league teams.
 Leaving Chicago September 30. the team is attempting to schedule a few games while en route, to keep the players from going stale. According to tentative arrangements, the team will travel one day and play the next, thus affording the players sufficient exercise to keap in good physical trim.
 The itinerary is through the south west and so arranged that the club Is anxious to secure game in this city.
 Whether or not such a game IS scheduled depends entirely upon local fandom. If sufficient fans would well come game between the St. Paul club and some valley team, probably the Mesa squad. a game can un- doubtedly be arranged

The addition of Pat Duncan to the Cincinnati outfield recently has added much strength to the Reds outer de- lenses although the Sox still have a margin, offensively and defensively, in this department.
 Duncan is holding down regular berth with the Reds and has done re- markedly well in the few games in which he has participated. His defen- sive work has been without flaw while his offense power is everything that Manager Moran could possibly hope for, especially in a man coming into the big show at time when all the pitchers are at their best and going in high speed. His throwing arm has also been in prominence and Chicago players perched on third need be care- full in attempting to score on a fly ball hit in his direction.
 But even with Duncan, Rousch and Neale in the outfield, the Reds can hardly be considered as strong as the White Sox with Liebold, Jackson and Felsch.
 Jackson in left field surely has an advantage over the recruit Duncan big advantage. He is an experienced player, a sure and timely hitter, good fielder and dangerous man on the paths
 Then the confidence that he lends to his brother players is an asset that cannot possibly be figured, but one that adds materially to the driving power of a club.
 In center field, Rousch has a margin over Felsch in the averages this year.
 Happy hasn't been able to maintain his batting speed of former seasons yet he is still a dangerous man with the war club, especially in the pinches.
 Rousch is better runner than his opponent. although Felsch is far from slow on the paths. As to fielding. there is little to choose between the pair.
