two errors by the Roy team, one
of them due to the ball being I'm

would have tied Clayton in nine
innings.
CLAYTON had tixedl up their

No 4th at Roy

The meeting held last Thurs

the 4th in Roy attracted four
citizens and two of them wanted
to celebrate elsewhere. 1t was

was definitely decided not t
celebrate, but go and hep other
celebrations and ther, when har-
vest is over and the time is riE {
for it have a Harvest Festival

Hail Storm

The first hail storm Of the sea-

red last Wednesday evening over
a strip a mile wide and several

from west to east, Among
those damaged were Fred Meff-

berry, all of his wheat field and
others damaged slightly. Frank
Roy had his flock of ewes and
lambs in it and had just finished
shearing. They were pounded
up some but none were killed.
A peculiar coincidence was
that none of the men whose
crops were destroyed had in
surance while a number on each
side Of it had policies in the Roy
Mutual. The lesson was learn
ed by several wheat growers
who came in next day and took
out policies.
The Mutual has almost filled
its list of 200 members and q
policy in it lends a feeling OF
protection when a cloud comes
up.

The deal fer a 240 acre farm
totaled over $50. 100000 and is for

and a very satisfactory deal to
all parties.
