ROY WINS BOTH GAMES

The two games between Roy and
Mills at the Roy diamond on July 4
and 5 were witnessed by as large
crowd as has ever been seen at Roy.
The Sunday game was called at
2.30 p. m. and started off with
goose egg for Mills in the first inning,
and by loose playing of the visitors
with few errors, Roy scored runs
in the first inning, after which Mills
pulled themselves together and play
ed one Of the prettiest games we have
witnessed, and held Roy down to
only two more runs, and they them
selves scored z. The final score for
Sundays game was IL to Z in favor
Of Roy.
Mondays game was even more in
teresting than the Sunday game.
Mills got 5 runs in the first three in
nings, and all that Roy got was 5
goose eggs to her credit. Roy tight
ened up and did not let the visitors
score any more until the 7th, when
they got one more. In the same in
ming, Roy tied the score. In tn
eighth Mills scored two more, maxi
their total 8. Our boys did not SC
in that inning, but all the ex
ment came in the ninth, wheE
was unable to score and ouy
came to the bat with the scoI
6 in favor Of Mills, for the tim
only. When Hester came
started the ball rolling, McN
followed, Barret got a nice
single, and Hester scored.
scored on bad wild pitch
Smith to Hooper, and Barret bl
in the winning run on a wild
also, which made the score ct
favor of Roy.
Mills has a good team ar
players, with a bunch Of good
ers. Every time these two tear
they draw large crowds, and
.es the vast audience to witne
games.
We must give Pitchers Hep
Smith of Mills, and McCares
Woods Of Roy, credit for thS
pitching they did. It was harH .---
for them from start to finish, and
they only allowed few hits on either
side. Here's hoping these two teams
meet again in the near future.
Next Sunday Roy plays MosquerS
at Mosquero.

The Masonic Lodge of Roy has
been taking training the past week
under their grand lecturer, John j.
Kelly, and has larger percent Of
really efficient workers than any
lodge we have known. The lodge has
grown fast since its institution and
will keep on. The degree work is well
caught up, and are ready to start
again with an almost clean slate. I.
E. Mitchell, master of the lodge, is
entitled to lot of credit for this de-
sitable condition and the new mem
bers who have taken such an active
part in getting the work right are an
asset to the lodge that will make its
future assured as one of the best

Damage by Hail

The worst hail storm Of the season
crossed the mesa east Of Roy Tuesday
evening leaving a trail Of desolation
in its wake Damage is reported as
far north as Ernest Parkes', east Of
Mills, and to and beyond Solano. The
damage is worst in patches, some
fields in the path Of the storm being
injured but little while others are a
total loss. One Of the worst spots
was at Paul Anderson's farm three
miles west of Roy. The roof Of his
house was beaten and torn up as if by
bullets and he has recovered the rub
beroid with a shingle roof. His crops
and even the prairie grass in the pas
ture are beaten off to the ground.
Among the heavy losesr are: John
Shamblin, T. 0. Scott, Chris Willers,
7, R. Pint, Chas. DePew, F. A. Bruce,
s. Ratcliff, the Wendland Bros,
Henry Farr, Ben Gpunig and all be-
tween them and Solano, the hail do
ing most damage west Of that town.
Reports from Mills are that Harry
Brockman, Bill Mericle, Ira Thetford,
Jess Grimstead, Mr.. Pate and many
others in that vicinity are losers from
serious to total loss. Cellars were
flooded and washed full Of hail
stones. 1t is reported Mark Brock
man waded in ice water till his feet
have been so swollen he can find no
shoes to get on them since. His
friends are saying many funny things
about it to him while he can't defend
himself.
A conservative estimate of the
damage to wheat alone is 5000, 900.
The corn is badly torn and stripped
by the hail, but the ecxess of moisture
may benefit it enough to offset the
damage.
Mr.. Cole has the hardest luck of
any, he believes. His wheat was hail
ed out, but there was no rain with it
so he can't go to plowing for another
crop.
The S-A drove out to our farm
Wednesday finding no serious dam
age, but the sights we saw on the way
were enough to make one sick. Many
of the losers had insurance, others
had none. The Mutual Hail associa-
ton will have losses up to their limit
Of 10 per cent assessment, if we have
them properly figured out.
This is blow to the prosperity of
the Roy community in general, COM
ing just when the wheat was ready
to harvest. Much of it would have
been headed this week and next, but
in 10 minutes, it was headed, threshed
and scattered over the ground, a to-
tai loss.
Reports are still coming in Of loss
which we have not time this week to
record, but they indicate the damage
greater than our estimate.

that, while they had ceased falling
on the roof of the S-A office they
were falling thickly on the buildings
of Judge Foster just across the street.

the vines against, for here they get the sun and the ground is we'll drained. We have planted the seeds 1 inch apart and inches deep and covered them with 2 inches of soil"
 Little-Girl, Ku-ti-pi, and Bobtail were very much interested. The Garden Manual was beaming with pride. "You are a true little soldier i of the U. s. S. G. A." she said.
 "When the plants are about 2 F inches high they should be thinned out to 2 inches apart; and, of course, as they grow bigger and bigger you draw the soil around them until the trench is all filled up." Big-Boy was out of breath.
 "When the plants are 8 inches high you put some nice top dressing on them, and then again when they begin to bud, and then again when they are blooming we'll. l studied all that at school, Mrs. Garden Manual, right out of your book; we had beautiful sweet pea trellis made out of chicken wire."
 "Did you forget something?" asked Madame Garden Manual.
 -"Why, yes, you should put some cinders in the bottom of the trench, and the hard, under, or subsoil must be dug out and thrown aside; but first you lift off the nice mellow top soil and mix it with the fertilizer and return it to the trench. Maybe you will have to add little more sand. Then you press this down firm and begin planting the seed"
 'I like it best when the flowers bloom. Did you ever see a sweet pea fairy?" asked Little-Girl.
 At the mention of fairies the Little Elf Man came along hopping over the grass. "I know two very beautiful sweet pea fairies, and l will introduce you to them when the sweet peas bloom," he said. "Why didn't you call me before you ran away"
 "There is nothing more beautiful than sweet peas, nor more sweet. They fill the house with beauty and perfume. But they must remain quite long time in the earth to store this sweetness in their hearts. And you must water them regularly and loosen the earth around the roots ever so often. They love to be petted, and also they are fond of company. If you cut the long stems of blossoms and bring them into the house to make lovely the room the plants will repay you by bearing more and more blossoms. They are ambitious for their children and wish them to get on in the world" The Garden Manual Lady looked around and smiled on Little-Girl and Big-Boy Che wasn't big, but Little Girl thought he was) and Bobtail and Ku-ti-pi and the Little Green Elf.
