LIebIg Team Winner

ROOSEVELT. July 29-The War
ner Chemical team played the Liebig

feated by a score of 8-5. Good pitch
ing and no support will not win a

of an old known adage. Well done
Donaghue of the Warner team knows
this. He twirled in splendid style, but
the dfshearted and listless manner in
which his co-players supported him
cost them the game. Still 1t is no
disgrace to lose to a team that is

Editor The News
Again will contribute to the

and most interesting paper that
seems to brighten as it grows
older and certainly with me, as
it is appreciated more than any
other paper we get. / cannot
imagine why anyone leaves the
old home and not take the News.
But be that as it may, too many
years of my life have been
spent in Columbia and Adair
county for me to ever lose
interest in their welfare or to
fail to appreciate the efforts of
the News to do its full part to
the community it serves. / notice
that againithe voice of the peo-
pie has been registered against
the building Of good roads in
your county. Doubtless, as
has been before, many can be
found who say they want
good roads and yet vote
against the proposition to build.
1t is hard for me to believe that
any real desire for improve,
ment exists behind such action,
and when sifted down it only
means to avoid expense. 1t is
consoling to know that Grady
vile and Midtown are on the
progressive side. l read with
much interest the Gradyville
letters, during the advocacy OF
the tax proposition, and am
glad to know that W. M. Will
kmore's prediction was sustained
