Base Ball, Roy-Springer

The Base Ball game with Springer
Sunday was a disappointment. The
visitors arrived on time and went in
to the game with a defeated express
sion on their faces. They were the
tiredest looking lot that ever came Up
on our diamond and the general
guess was that they had danced all
night and were not fit for the game.
Anyway, Roy romped all over them
with a score of 8 to a, and they did
MT even have to try to really play
ball.
A good crowd was present and our
boys got some good practice work.
1t is well known that Springer can
and does play ball when at their best
and it is hoped the next game will be
more interesting, In the meantime,
for real base ball, commend US to
Mills and Roy to put it up.
The score was:

Teachers Elected

The Roy school board met Monday
evening in regular session, attended
to details Of the bond issue and allow
ed bills for current expenses amount
ing to $64.2O.
The resignation Of DR.. T. f. Self
was accepted and Dr.. M. D. Gibbs
was appointed to fill the vacancy on
the board.
Salaries were fixed at $1,000 for
Principal, $1,000 for 7th, sth and
Spanish, and $4,000 per month for
the other grade teachers.
1t was declared the policy Of the
board to hire only teachers with first

years experience.
All Of these teachers, except the
two reelected, are graduates from
the Roy schools and their homes are

an apprenticeship in the rural schools

Tom Blankenship writes from Win
field, East Texas, for his S-A and
says: "Haye been enjoying my trip.
Haven't seen S-A for two months.
Send mine here in future. Have put
in q modern shoe-repair shop and
business is good account of the high
price Of shoes. am thinking of the
cool breezes of the mesa and would
enjoy them very much. 1t is real
summer here but the green beans,
peas, squashes, cucumbers and-it is
berry time and the berry pies u-m-m

these things for that old reprobate?)

ABOUT TELEPHONE SERVICE


A rise in telephone rates in the
near future is imperative and the Roy
Telephone Co. announces that we are
at last obliged to increase our rates
to meet the advanced cost of opera
ton and living expenses.
While all other telephone lines and
other public utilities have advanced
rates the Roy Telephone Co. has
maintained the old pre-war rate
throughout. This has been possible
because we did all our own work and
had no payroll to meet. Now it is
necessary to employ help and add
considerable expense to the equip
ment and raise in rates is necessary
to meet the cost.
By the following comparison it will
clearly be observed that the business
cannot run on the old schedule of
rates. Ten years ago nearly every
thing cost about half or less Of the
present-day prices. Then batteries
cost SIS to $21 per barrel, now they
cost $54, wire cost then $4 to $3.50
per 100, now $3.50 to $3.50; poles
that cost SLAP, now cost $3.18. Tele-
phones that cost SO to $11 now cost
$14 to SIG. Operators $3.50 to Sc
per week, for ten hours, now 81 to
$40 for eight hours. Linemen got
$40 to $45, now $S5 to 800.
A few more comparisons Of then
and now:
Ten years ago it required Is bush
els Of wheat to pay for a years tele-
phone service, now it takes about
bushels Then it required 16 to is
pounds Of hogs, now about r and 50
On through the whole list.
We beg to ask the patrons Of the
telephone company to give the matter
Of higher rates a careful considera-
zion and comparison with other class
es Of business and occupations and
see if we are not justified in asking
higher rates.
The proposed rates operative This
month are as follows:
Business, (private) ---$3.25 per mo,
Business, on q line 800 per mo.

G. R. Abernathy, president of the
Farmers Mutual Hail association, took
Nels Benson and Henry Farr with him
to adjust losses of wheat fields by
hail at Mosquero Sunday. Fred
Tinker, C. c. Moore and j. M. Cad
dell were three hail victims who were
insured and there were several more
who had no insurance. Mr.. Tinker
had an almost total loss of his fine
wheat field and had insured it only
Is hours before the hail got it. 1t is
unusual that he had never before
carried hail insurance and this was
his first loss by hail.
Paul Haines is the busiest man in
town this week writing Mutual Hail
Insurance. The 200 limit of this COM
pany will be reached long before all
are insured who want and need it.
The formation of another company is
going to be necessary.

Lightning Kills

Jack Lyons, who lives on P. c..
Haines farm 3 miles north of Roy
had six cattle killed by lightning in
the storm Saturday evening, four
mich cows and two calves. They
were standing along a wire fence in
a row and the bodies were burned
considerably.
Mr. Lyons says these were all ex-
ira good cows and he appraises the
loss at $4,000. This is the first loss
of farm stock reported this season,
and lot of wire fences should be
grounded with wires driven into the
ground to prevent lot more such
losses.

Miss Inez Cate, of Solano, came to
Roy Sunday to visit friends, the S-A
among them, and attend to some bus
mess matters. Miss Cate made a
killing in wheat last year and has
recently shelled and sold her corn
crop which average 80 bushels per
acre. Her wheat prospect for this
year is also fine. She spent the win
ter in the east, but has lived here
on the mesa too long to ever be sat
isfied in the east again.

Rain almost every evening for sew
eral days and in copious quantities
has made the mesa one of the beauty
spots of New Mexico. The wheat
which looked backward and unproniis-
ing a week ago is now heading, stool
ing and looking like a 100 per cent
crop. Hail has damaged crops in
some places but only in small areas.
The prospect for a bumper crop of
everything was never as good as right
now.
