DESTROYER TO
BE NAMED FOR
JOHN H. PRUITT

One of Uncle Sans newest and
most modern destroyers, now in
process of construction, is to be
named in honor of Corporal John H.
Pruitt, for whom the local post of
the American Legion is named. In
formation to this effect is contained
IN a telegram received this week by
Mrs. Belle Pruitt, mother of the
dead hero of the marines, who lost
his life in action in France. The
message follows,
Washington, D. c.,
Dec. Is, 1919.
Mrs. Belle Pruitt, Phoenix, Ariz.:
have assigned the name
Pruitt to destroyer Number Three
Forty-seven under construction
at Bath, Maine, in honor of your
son, Corporal John H. Pruitt,
U. S. M. G. Will you act as
sponsor or designate a sponsor
for this vessel? Wire collect.
JOSEPHUS DANIELS.
Replying to the foregoing mes
sage, Mrs. Pruitt this week advised
the secretary of the navy that she
would act as sponsor of the vessel,
and attend the launching. No date
has yet been set for the launching
s,of the vessel.
Naming of a destroyer after Cor
poral Pruitt is one of the highest
honors that can be conferred by the
government, and is another signal
Indication of the fact that service
men of Ray made no mistake when
they selected the name of John
Pruitt for their post
Enlisting from Ray, young Pruitt
distinguished himself with great gal
lantry in service under fire, and
made one of the most brilliant rec
ords of all the men from America.
The congressional medal of honor
and other decorations of high honor
were awarded to Sorporal Pruitt
posthumously.

ESTIMATES TOO HIGH
Demand of Administration for Money
Are Beyond Reasonable Wisdom

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-"The es-
Inmates of the departments for ap-
preparations Of about five billion
dollars are away beyond what they
should be-" said Senator Kenyon,
who is a member of the senate ap-
preparations committee
"Such exorbitant estimates will
not be granted. They will be cut
and cut deeply. 1t is out of the ques-
tion to impose such burdens on the
public"

pecting to see something good.

pecting to see something good.
The admission fee is only so cents
for adults and 25 cents for children
plus war tax. This has been put at
this figure by the management after
considerable discussion and considara-
ton of the public pulse and it shows
the straightforward manner in which
Doc tries to give the public the most
for their money.
He would rather all, at a small mar
gin of profit, would be able to see the
show, than a few at a higher rate and
with the high cost of living ne desires
to show some consideration for the
public, which policy in most cases,
these days, is rather exceptional.

DOC PARDEE TO
PUT ON SHOW
AT RAY XMAS

Finally yielding to the pleadings of
his friends around Ray to pull some
OF the late cowboy stunts for the bene-
fit of the public, many of whom around
Ray have not had an opportunity or
the pleasure of seeing the local cow
boys perform, Doc Pardee, the famous
cowboy and broncho-buster, is to pu'
on his show for December oath and
25th at Ray so that the people may
see some of the wonderful and yet
amusing things that they can do with
horses, cows, calves, goats and vari-
GUS sundry tricks that they can ac-
complish.
Mr.. Pardee, personally, will give
public exhibition, but he will not par
ticipate in any of the contests, as in
each one there will be a purse hung
up for the winner.
One of the famous attractions is
BLACK jack, "a horse twelve years
old and one who has the record of
having never been ridden Black
Jack threw "a cowboys at their tourn-
ament in Mexico; he threw men in
Winnipeg in 1913 and his latest and
local victim was Frank Kane, from
near Walnut Grove, who happened to
have the honor of being the last man
down with Black Jack in the Parada
at Florence. A medal is offered to the
man who will ride him and should no
one succeed in being able to do so,
the medal will go to the horse, to
travel with him.
Mr.. Pardee is planning on all sorts
of races, with a suitable remuneration
for the winner, such as relay, pony
express, cow-horse, free for all wiz
horse, bed and saddle, maverick, re-
verse, ring tournament, and flag con-
test, so that those who may be privi-
legged to attend will have an oppor-
tunity to see something out of the
ordinary.
Mr.. Frank Brundage, one of the
Ray boys, and who carried away first
money in the sheep roping contests
at Florence, and obtained second mon
ey in the steer roping contest, and a
winner in several other minor con-
tests, will be on hand and show his
skill and dexterity in handling the
hide and horse.
Archie Braton, who took second
money in the relay and split third and
fourth in the broncho riding, as we'll
as Mr.. Bill Martin, winner of the calf
roping and who, with his brother, won
the steer roping contest, will be on
hand to see if they cannot better their
records.
Walter Walters, the fastest broncho
rider in this section will be there to
try out Black Jack and see if he can't
cop the trophy this time.
Burl Neighbors, the man who is
rightly termed the champion goat
roper, will be before the public again
where he Will undertake to catch and
tie goat in Is seconds.
With this lineup, the people ought
to be able to obtain enough thrills for
couple of days to last them for a
little time at least; the old Roman
warriors never had anything on what
these boys won't try, SO come out ex-

pany and left on Tuesdays train for

WOMEN NOT so VIOLENT

According to Mrs Beatrice Forbes
Robertson, less violence was exhib-
tied in gaining woman suffrage than
in any mans movement in history
No, come to think of it, women
didn't tie up the railroads, or hold
up shipping, or leave the country to
freeze or starve while they shouted
for what they wanted!

WESTON COMMERCIAL CLUB
RESUMES ITS MEETINGS
]. W. Porter Heads the 0rganiza-
ton Strain Invited to Talk.

More than thirty citizens attend
ed the first meeting Of the Weston
Commercial Club since the summer
vacation. Having prolonged its
holiday until midwintcr, the club
made up for its lapse by exhibiting
commendable pep and ginger. Ev-
eryone seemed to enjoy the session,
realizing that the town, as II were.
had regained its commercial soul.
The Chautauqua question was
discussed at length. Postponed
from last fall because of the flu
epidemic, the annual Weston Chau-
tauqua is yet in allegiance. 1t was
finally decided to be the sense of
the club that the session be not held
next February as announced by the
Elilson-White people, because Of
the danger Of recurrence Of epi-
demic conditions that might result
from so large a gathering. The
matter of holding summer Chau-
tauqua was left to the discretion
Of the Chautauqua committee.
The club extended an invitation
to G. P. Strain to give public adj
dress in Weston next Tuesday even
ing, under club auspices, on the
road bond question. An effort will
be made to get a representative
attendance from the mountain.
j. w. Porter was elected presi-
dent Of the club, succeeding E. G.
Rogers, and just before adjourn
ment took the chair amid acclaim.
s. j. Culley was elected vice presi-
dent and Frank Price secretary and
treasurer.
