dred Couples Is Anticipated
Many Coming from Upper Valley.

The number of Elks in Holly and
vicinity. though there is no lodge
here owing to the size of the town,
continues to increase each year.
During 1919 the increase was great
er than during any previous year,
SO that the antlered tribe in the
east end metropolis is now mat
ter of considerable numerical
strength.
1t is a well known fact that the
Benevolent Order of Protective
Elks is nothing if not generous and
charitably inclined. In fact one of
the cardinal principles of the or
der is for the up-lift of mankind
and the amelioration of the burd-
ems and Affections of the needy and
unfortunate 1t has, therefore be-
come custom of the order where
there, is a lodge, to give a charity
ball once a year, the proceeds of
which all goes for some worthy
charitable work.
Holly has no lodge but the in
creasing number here who belong
to the order are imbued with all
the necessary spirit of fraternity,
entertainment and charity as
though there were a full fiedged
lodge here. Hence, for four years
they have given charity ball in
Holly. They now announce their
Fifth annual ball which will be

Came to Defeat Here.

SATURDAY NIGHT, rs to ~

Had Some Bad Luck in That
Miss Duncan was Hurt and Miss
Brown Exhausted.

team over the Fowler boys by a
score of 30 to 16. The teams SEEM
(! ed to be well matched but the skill
of the local team was too much for
the Flower boys. The Holly team
was never in danger of losing the
game, but during the last half the
Fowler five put up hard fight.
The same night the Holly grade
boys defeated the Wiley grade
team by score of Is to 70. During
this game the Holly players always
had the game well in hand and
had their score above the Wiley
teams by large margin. The
Holly players were much larger in
general and we're more in practice
than the Wiley boys.
Last Saturday night both the
girls and boys teams played at
Syracuse The Holly boys five
defeated the syracuse team with
a score of % to Is. This game was
played fast and the score was al
| ways close. Although this was
not a league game, it was an i'm
portant one and Hally was anxious
to win it.
The girls game turned out rather
bad for the local team for they
were defeated by the. Kansas bunch
The Syracuse team had played To-
gether longer than the local six
as most of the Syracuse girls are
seniors while Holly has four fresh
man girls on the team. The Holly
girls were also playing on a court
which they were not used to
which is quite a disadvantage
Syracuse won the contest by a
score of 16 to "A.
Miss Janet Duncan one of the
Holly High basket ball girls team
had her right shoulder badly
wrenched in fall during the game
at Syracuse last Saturday and for
a time it was thought the bones
were broken. Mrs. Duncan accom-
janied Miss Janet to Lamar Sun
day>Where DR.. Likes took an X-Ray
photograph, which disclosed that
no bones were broken, but the liga-
ments had been slightly torn.
Though suffering more or less pain
she is able to attend school and as
an indication of her pluck and
good sportsmanship Miss Janet de-
clares that she will enter the next
game on the schedule.
Miss Mamie Brown, also one of
the star players of the girls team,
following Miss Duncan's injury en-
deavored to make up the discrep-
ancy and as a esult was for time
completely exhausted at the close
of the game and had to have medi-
cal attention. After nights rest,
however, she rallied and was ap-
parently none the worse for the
contest except that she was some
what sore.
The local teams appreciate very
much the support given them by
the people of this town as there
were about 100 or more people from
Holly who attended the Syracuse
game.
Summary of Friday and Satur-
day nights games is as follows:

GOOD ROADS AssoCIATToN
MEETS AGAIN IN JUNE
Failed to Decide at Denver Meet
ing Last Week on Amount
of Bond Issue.

Frank Smith, engineer for
the Arkansas Valley Sugar
Beet & Irrigated Land Co.,
returned home Sunday from
Denver, where he had been
in attendance at the stock
show and an important meet
ing of the Good Roads AS
ISOLATION.
The main proposition up
before the Good Roads as
ISOLATION at this time was
whether the state of Colo
RADIO should float a bond is
sue of $5,O0O,O00 or SIS, 100000
for road improvements
through the state this year.
In the event the larger issue
is floated, it is understood,
the federal government puts
up SIS for every $25 spent by
the state.
After much discussion the
association finally adjourn
ed without definitely decid-
which of the bond issues
would be submitted to the
people at this falls election,
but decided to hold another
meeting between now and
June to definitely determine
the question.
In the mean time, Engi-
neer Smith, as a member of
the association. would be
glad to meet as many of the
farmers as possible in this
section of the state to ascer-
tain their wishes and views
in the matter. At the pres
ent time sentiment seems to
be about evenly divided as
to whether the $5,000,0OO or
$25,000.O00 bond issue should
be submitted, with possibly
a small majority favoring
the larger issue. These ar
que the advantage of federal
aid and a sum of money
available sufficient to do
really Worthwhile road work
throughout the state.

TO MY DESERT AUTO

My auto, 'tis of thee, short road to poverty, of thee 1 chant. l }blew a pile of dough on thee three years ago, now you refuse to go, or won't or can't. Through town and countryside you were my joy and pride, a happy day. 1 loved the gaudy hue, the nice white tires new, but you're down and out for true in every way. To thee, old rattle box, came many bumps and knocks, for thee 1 grieve. Badly the top is torn, frayed are the seats and worn, the whooping cough affects thy horn, 1 do believe. Thy perfume swells the breeze, while good folks choke and 'wheeze as we pass by. l paid for thee a price, 'twould buy a mansion twice, now everybody's yelling ''ice" wonder why? Thy motor has the grippe, the spark plug has the pip and woe is thine. 1, too, have suffered chills, fatigue and kindred ills, endeavoring to pay my bills since thou vert mine. Gone in my bank roll now, no more 'twould choke the cow, as once before. Yet, if 1 had the mon, so help me, John amen, I'd buy a car again and speed some more.

ADAMANA NOTES

MT. John Beasley is hav- ling the finishing touches put on his new cottage in the eastern part of the town which makes it look pretty nifty for just a bachelor to live in.
 Mr. and Mrs. George Hen- nessey motored from Hol- brook to Pinto Saturday on business, stopping en route for luncheon at the home of MT. and Mrs. Orville Martin.
 Mrs. John Flynn, Mrs. IOryille Martin and James |Donohoe SD mt Thursday shopping in Holbrook.
 Miss Francis Bower who will teach the coming term of school here is expected to arrive in Adamana about the 18th of August.
 One of our most success ful turkey growers recently had quite a sad experience with one of her flock, during her temporary absence an auto passed by her residence and one of the party seeing a nice likely poultry near the road reached down and took it in to the car. Upon her return she missed her pet and began a search which resulted in locating it in a neighboring village, and the turkey (not the village) was returned to her but in such a condition; why it is so knock kneed that when 1t walks it executes a. kind of a cross between a ''shimmie" and an Adamana "wiggle" however it is rapidly recover ing by being fed liberal doses of Anti-Kosto compound.
 MT. Charles Aye, a train despatcher on the "Oregan short line" at Montpelier, Idaho, is visiting Adamana friends this week. MT. Aye will be remembered as hay ing been despatcher at Win slow in 1916, by a great many who worked between WinsIow and Gallup during that year.

WEEKS RESUME OF THE
 OIL FIELD ACTIVITIES

Visitors to the well of the Holbrook Oil Company this week were strongly impress ed with the ''pep" displayed by the drilling crew in charge of Irving c. Carl, and with the excellent progress being made. Since heresumption of drilling, following placing of the 10 in casing, the pro- gress has been more than satisfactory.
 A new sand line arrived by expresss yesterday and was immediately hauled to the we'll, thus avoiding any shut down for lack of this very necessary equipment, as the old line had passed it's time of usefulness.
 All precautions possible are being taken to prevent the loss of any time and as the rig is thoroughly equip ped, water and wood in plenty, there should be no cessation from progress be- ing rapidly accomplished.

counted a few points in his favor. He is a good mixer, and the apparent loyalty of his adherents will go a long way in counting the chicks just now.
 On the other hand the governors friends are lay ing their plans to give the glad hand to the big repub- lican landslide that the oujia board says will strike Ari- zona in November-and it's easy money if the slide will hold out across the plains from Ohio and Massachu- setts without losing it's Wind-sir.
 It's an i'll wind that blows nobody good. With the ap- proach of the coming cleo tion collections are picking up on the bills rendered for campaign advertising two years ago for the also rans.
 Judge Crosby, who has been holding court down in Phoenix, found time to slip the tip to the newspapers that he was convinced that Navajo county would swing into the republican column. Put this in your bonnet and after the returns you will know just how the indicator must look to secure a con- viction in the judges court.
 The republicans of Navajo county will hold a caucus the coming week and will put a full ticket in the field for all county offices. When this is done the chair warm ing candidate that expect a seat at the pie counter without effort will need as- sistance in driving the hun gry butinskys from his door.
 The petition for Ralph H. Cameron, candidate for U. s. senator, is with G. N. MacBean at the Holbrook Drug company, where his many friends in Holbrook may have the opportunity of signing.
 Of all the candidates who have announced themselves for state offices in Arizona, the one who has probably the least preparation for campaigning is Judge Samuel L. Pattee of the Su- perior court of Pima county, wno announces his candidacy in this issue of the News for the nomination to the office of supreme court justice on the democratic ticket.
 Although he will get a late start, however, Judge Pattee's friends throughout Arizona are confident that he will make a strong race at the September primaries.
 The reason for his delay in cultivating the field is ac- counted for by the business before pleasure" policy that he has always followed.
 "1 have not forgotten the September primaries" said Judge Pattee recently, "I have merely put them out of my mind for the present. 1 realize that 1 have strong opponents for the office to which 1 am a candidate, but until 1 catch up completely with all the work that piled up during my time in the su- perior court at Tombstone I intend to dismiss the com ing election from my mind.
