Of the 1920-21 season and promises
to go oil with a rush and plenty Of
snap right from the beginning The
Raymer team is in the pink Of con-
dition and has been practicing faith
fully and consistently for some time,
so there is real treat IN store fCr
the spectators. However, the Ray

or are they o"HIly confident They
have had SCOTS out getting dope

Raymerite knows down dee? in his
heart that the Gink bunch are about
one hundred percent beta" than
they are letting out. So 1t behob. 8
every loyal supporter Of the Raymer
team to turn out Saturday night and
get back Of our team---giye them
your hertiest support and help cheer
them on to victory from the time the
first gun is fred in the first event
until time is called in the last event.
Don't let that boy of yours think
Dad Is getting ante-dated and about
on his last pegs. Pep up and show
him that when you were in High
Schoolyou were one OF the liTcst
wires there--that you still haven't I
forgotten how to yell and are per
fectly willing to give nine rahs for
the winner every time. Come On, be
a pal with your boy--show him you
are still interested In athletics and
that you know how to stand behind
the team every minute even In time
of defeat. Pep up and forget you
are getting in the fossil class.
You, OF the ladies who had the

We imagine that the approach of
2alder weather would make It i'm
actical to make use OF tents and
they would be housed in some
uliiding.
They were in Raymer little over
even weeks They organized So
c!ety OF the Christian church of a
rerv substantial membership. About
forty were baptized.
Among their converts, are num-
bered several who had never before
taken stand with any church
In the face of these facts, we think
they should be credited with doing
good TO the community, good that
we would not attempt to limit in
its worth
Had they left week earlier as
they announced in The Enterprise
that they were going to do, We be-
lieye their work would have been
more lasting and of greater value.
We believe that the circular issued
Friday afternoon, September 18th,
marked slump in the character of
their work, and that 1t kept declin-
ing with every day of their stay after
that.
1t seems amazing that good man
could stoop to the deliberate SLAM
ders peddled from the pulpit Satur-
day night
In some communities 1t might
work much harm. but we trust the
spirit and intelligence of Raymed
people to forget the evil and rememl
ber and hold fast to the good
We had Intended to allow the MAJ
ter to stop with the above, but this
Thursday morning we learn that
evil examples are contagious.

SCHOOL NOTES

County Supt. c. w. Martin, spent
Monday afternoon visiting the school
He gave a short address to the High
School students encouraging them to
continue their education.
Miss Fisher arrived from Denver
Saturday to teach third and fourth
grades in our school. We are glad
that we have secured teacher who
will be permanent, and we hope we
will need no more substituting.
On Friday evening of October Is,
the school will give q varied pro-
gram followed by box social. There
will be a charge Of 25 cents admis-
sion for program. After the pro
gram the boxes will be sold at auc q,
tion. The proceeds will be used for
playground equipment. We hope to
have large attendance and sue
cessful evening financially, for we
feel the need Of more quipment for
the school grounds.
The time is not far distant when
we should reorganize our Commln,-
ty Literary Society, much interest
was manifested last year in this Or
ganization and it afforded enjoyment
for all.

among its members, he succeeded In
reconciling to his administration the
most divergent elements. In his de-
sire for harmony, he would also have
included Henry Clay and Andrew
jackson, but they declined.
One day the British minister glared
across the White House dinner table
and shouted to the French minister:
"Are you biting your nails at me,
sIrT The Frenchmnn responded
by drawing his sword, and the two
diplomats rushed at each other. But
as they were about to clash, the pres
ident drew his own sword between
them and stopped the fight.
That little incident gives us q pic
ture of the spirit Of Monroe and his
administration. While he was In the
White House, men and factions had
to leave their quarrels Mt the door.
The quiet, modest president was not
so successful In keeping the peace
among the women OF the oificial cir
Gle, and their disputes over social rank
and precedence brewed many squalls.
Although Jim Monroe, as he was
famlllarly called, was the last presi-
: dent to cling to the ancient knee
breeches, cockade and sword, he was
as plain and easy as an old shoe.
When newly arrived European
diplomat saw bald-headed, watery-
eyed man in striped seersucker
coat, dilxy waistcoat spotted with
Ink and with slippers down at the
heel writing at White House desk,
he wondered that the president
would have such slovenly clerk un-
til he was dumfounded to find that
he was in the presence of the president
himself.

THE FROST IS
ON THE PUMPKIN

The frost is on the pumpkin all
right, or was Sunday morning, but
most Of the fodder was in the shock,
or has since gone there.
A month ago the temperature fell
very close to the zero mark, but prov
idence tempered the winds enough
to pass over the danger period, and
delay the cold until the moon was
again at the full. That month of
warm and dry weather has added to
the value of the corn crop such
sum that we would hardly dare es-
innate 1t in dollars and cents. We
know 1t is large and the corn crop
is this year very important crop
In this vicinity. Some even esti-
mate that this years corn crop in
this vicinity will be greater than all
previous years corbined.
BE that as 1t may, the corn crop
VIZ w 'Fiy Valuable crop lNlS
season We hope that 1t will be
large enough ST. that none need to
be shipped in at the same time Ue
hope thai the farmers will be Cor
tunate enough 10 have stock to feed
1t on the farm, and the occasional
gllrDInt ~ ore farmer mev be nh
:orheG hg nei h 'nrs. so that n,nc
will be shipped out Of the country.
Feed crops are also abundant so
that there should be no difficulty in
having all stock go through the win
ter in splendid shape ..
Along other lines, winter wheat
would be benefited by rain, and a
few showers would be much appreci-
ated,

FIRE ON PLAINS
RUN BOYS, RUN

That's what they thot 1t was Sun
day. They could all see It plain.
Ed Warrick's house was sure going
up in smoke. The people In town
knew that Ed was desperately try
ing to rescue some Of his belongings
and perhaps his family from the
hungry flames that were licking up
his home.
Then there was hurrying to and
fro, and cranking cars and excited
men fastening to the fray not far
away
Fred Knapp stepped on his old
Buick, Jim Norwood fed gas to the
kissel, and away they vent, valiant
fire fighters they, eager to show that
their heart was right and their arm
was strong.
When they got there they found
Ed burning weeds. the light from
the bonfire reflected on the chimney
in such way as to appear to be the
house as seen from town.
Well, II showed the spirit just as
much as real fire and all fel. bet
ter by a great deal than they would
II 1t had been fire. How fine II
would be II all jokes had as happy
an ending.

man Of the republican central CON-

held at the court house Saturday
morning. Mrs Blanch Hughes was
elected chairwoman, Charles Swink
vice-chairman, and Charles Davis,
secretary.
Judge G H. Bradfeld, the retir-
ing chairman, opened the meeting
but was obliged to leave 1t to pre-
side in district court. He had ex-
pressed an earnest desire to be reliev-
ed of the craftsmanship because of
his judicial duties. Attorney Robert
G. Smith Of Eaton acted as tempor-
ary chairman. About 80 precinct
chairmen and candidates attended
the meeting.

Much Interest Shown

More than usual interest centers in
the Eas. Side Bible class at this time
and the announcement that DR.. Ar
thur Gee, who taught the class last
week, will be present in that capacity
again al this weeks meeting-on
Thursday night-will augment this
interest, while the announcement of
n musical program and other features
will give promise of one of the most
worthy programs yet offered at the
Community house on tho East Side.
DR.. Gees talk last week was voted
wonderful" by those present and it
is reasonably certain that all who
were there last week will attend
again this week. and that the COM
ment that has followed last weeks
meeting will arouse latent interest in
those who have permitted other
