it being the fiftieth or golden we'd
ding anniversary Of Mr.. Harris par

The most sumptuous dinner was pre-

POTTER TEAM PLAYS IN
JULESBURG, JULY 18TH.

The Potter base ball team will play
the Julesbulg Cubs at the local
grounds here next Sunday afternoon,
July 18th. After meeting defeat in
q close game at Sterling last Sunday.
the Cubs expect to get ION their toes"
and wallop the Potter athletes.
The Julesburg team has made an
enviable record this season, having
played total of seven games and lost
only one. The citizens of Julesburg
have right to feel proud of the ball
team which represents this city, as
there is no bigger advertisement to
any community than a winning ball
club
II is pleasing to the management
Of the Julesburg Cubs for the splendid
support which the team is receiving
from the business men and local fans.
The attendance at the games played
on the home grounds has been above
expectations and in turn the members
Of the Cubs have played a good brand
Of base ball, as their record of win
ming six out of seven games will show.
Let us stay behind the team at all
times. We can't expect them to win
every game. although we can truth
fully say that we have the best ball
team in this entire section, barring
none 1t is probably true that the
team needs to be strengthened in one
or two positions, in order to make it
an All-Star aggregation. but if this
was done, where would we find team
in this neck of the woods that could
make things even interesting.
Sterling is the only team thus far
that has made things lively for the
locals, and we believe they will have
a hard time turning the trick again
when these teams meet again later
in the season.

 Speed certainly meets present-day needs" says F. H. Akers sales manager of the Rec Motor Car company, in com menting on the predominance of light trucks in general and speed wagons in particular. When MT. H. T. Thomas chief engineer of this company. first designed the speed wagon more than five years ago. with its high speed pneumatic tires and electric lights and starter the truck users were most skeptical They favored slower, heav- fer trucks.
 But now it seems impossible to make anywhere nearly enough light trucks to meet the demand We have placed over 25,000 of this single model in the hands of owners and many other makes have swung into theis field.
 Since the third quarter of the year when Rec produced 45 per cent of the trucks in the fourth ton class, we have greatly increased our truck pro- duction. Yet this production and win ter upon us we are still far behind the demand"

AMERICAN MEN WHO STAGED IN FRANCE MAKING FORTUNES
Tuscaloosa Boy Among Those Who Are Making Good in Business Ven
 lures Abroad

Paris, November 2-Several thousand discharged American soldiers who re-
 mained in France to try their fortunes
 are faring as must fare all pioneers. A few have become reasonably wealthy. Some are reporting progress. The ma Jority are trudgng on lifes way, over or around obstacles, with their carts hitched to stars that are flying rather lower than , they were when the young men set out to ! "Amercanize France"
 Most of the men really are pioneers be- cause they are striking out for them selves, along new lines. As yet there is no organization to put these men in con ] tact with their fellows for the exchange of .deas and experiences
 Nearly 9o00 American Expeditionary Force men were reeased here and it is estimated a fourth of these have settled down to work here. The others are visit ing, sightseeing or have gone home after i a discouraging look at business pros- poets.
 Of the 2o0 or so who are hard after French francs. according to American business men here who know most about the new ventures, several hundred found employment with large concerns. chiefly American firms preparing to do business in the devastated regions Another group ] took various small places to pay their way while studying. The majority of the men, it was said started to make good 1 by eapitaliziag American methods Very many of them saw what they considered defects in French life and made ready to

to press her hand and kiss her lips. She was IN
1856 betrothed to Prince Alfonso d'Este, eldest
son of the Duke Of Ferrara. He was certainly
not in the category Of lovers, even at sight, Tor
he had never seen his bride-to-be. That was an
entirely unimportant incident in matrimonial
arrangements. The union was projected en-
tirely for political reasons, and chiefly for the
putting an end to the protracted contest for pre-
eedenee between the two families, which every
now and again threatened to plunge all Italy
into war.
Alfonso d'Este was the heir of his father,
Freole II-of his titles and wealth, but not OF
his good looks and polished manners; besides,
his reputation for chastity and sObriety was not
of the best. Directly Maria was told of the ar
rangement she expressed her disgust and her
determination not to submit to parental dieta-
ton Her reception Of the Prince was cold In
the extreme, she declined to see him apart from
her sisters and attendants, and he returned to
Ferrara in no amiable frame of mind.
Meanwhile love, true love, had peeped
through the jalOusies of Princess Maria's win
dow, and his arrows had fed their dangerous
course unseen by any but herself, and
him whose heart was hers. No one suspected
that a life so guarded could, by any means, be
flehed from It's restraints, but so it was, and
the first gossip sprang out of the mouth of a
venerable Spanish retainer of the Duchess, the
faithful eustode, Mandriano, who guarded his
mistresss door almost night and day
