BOSTON Y. M. {. A.
TEAM TO PLAY
HERESATURDAY
SherbrOOke Performs On
the 4th and Newport
On Wednesday

In the next three games to be
played at the Campus the Fair
banks A. A. base ball team will
receive the most gruelling test of
the present season and if the
boys are successful in weathering
the storm, the prospects for a most
successful base ball year for St.
Johnsbury will appear unusually
bright. 1t is an undeniable fact,
however, that the local athletes
must play a finer brand of bail
than they have been showing up
to date, or else a surprise is in
store.
The Fairbanks outfit has lost
but one game this season and that
was captured by Shelbrooke al
the inception of the season long
before the Fairbanks machine was
welded together. Few of the reg
u'ar players were in the lineup
When the locals enraged the Can
adams on the latter's territory and
it is hardly to be wondered that,
with Sherbrooke playing its regu-
lar staff of ball tossers, the st.
Johnsbury aggregation lost t4.s
early game.
The Fairbanks team has not
been very strong on hitting so far
this season but it is hoped the ath-
letes will hit their stride soon and
pound the horsehide to all corners
of the lot. There is little doubt
about the pitching support the
,tcam will have, but there still is
serious question about the ability
of the stickers. The hurlers must
have hitting behind them or their
efforts on the mound will be un-
availing.
Tomorrow afternoon will mark
the first appearance here of the
Boston Railroad Y. NJ. C. A. team,
which is made up of brilliant ar
ray of diamond stars, who made d
decided hit with the fans in New
port, Sherbrooke and other places

Sherman's Coal Sheds

A serious fire was averted soon
after midnight by the quick work
Of the Newport firemen when a
Haze was eXtinGuished in the
cattle sheds at the rear of F. N.

guished the coal pockets with their
contents would have been burned.
The loss is about 5000 which is
fully covered by insurance.

Men of Presbyterian Church at Banqe,

The men who are members of the
Presbyterian church enjoyed banquet
at the church Monday evening. The
speaker of this occasion was Mr.. d.
d. Watson, a prominent business man
of Denver and a leading layman Of
the Presbyterian church. Mr.. Watson
brought n message that was greatly
enjoyed by the men. His subject was
"The Challenge of Present World
Problems to the Men of Today" He
said that the world is hungry for three
things, bread, peace and God. That
while the world is not always con-
scious of its greatest need it is recog-
nized readily when it is supplied. He
appealed for support by the men of
the church of the great world enter
prises by which great leaders in the
field of human service are given to the
nations. He told Of the wonderful
work that is being done by Mr.. Sam
Higginbotham Of India in showing the
people of that country how they can
grow a crop three and four times as
great on the land that they have been
cultivating for centuries. These and
like enterprises appeal to men with
knowledge of the possibilities for ths
nations and peoples of the non pro-
gressive lands.
Mr.. Watson returned to Denver last
night.

WIN FIRST BLOOD
Stockmen of This Section Win First
Round of Legal Battle With
Western Livestock Loan
Company.

The dozen stockmen who are en-
greed in legal battle with the West
crn Livestock Loan Co., of Denver,
ere feeling good this week rs n re-
suit of the first round of the big legal
battle involving nearly one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. These
suits grow out of the selling of shares
of tic capital stock of the loan COM
pany and giving a district agency to
loan money or livestock. They claim
ed to have unlimited money back of
them and that they would be able to
take care of all loans that could be
made.
They sold ten or more exclusive
agencies in the territory of Baca,
Bent and Prowers counties, and each
thought he was the only agent in the
territory until the company filed suit
in Denver against Jack Creaghe on
notes given in payment for stock. The
victims at once realized that they
were stung and ten of them who had
notes for over $l3O,OOO out brought
suit in the district court for Prowers
and Bent counties to cancel their
notes. The company tried for change
of venue but Judge McChcsney over
ruled the motion and the cases will be
tried here and at Las Animas.
Last week, however. the case against
Jack Creaphe was tried in Denver
with Judge CRANKY Hillyer represent
ing Jack Crcaghe and Judge N. Walt
er Dixon of Denver representing the
Western Livestock Loan Co. The case
was tried before jury in the Denver
district court and was a hard fought
legal battle lasting two days. Judge
Hillyer won complete victory for his
client resulting in an order for the
cancellation of the notes outstanding
against Creaghe. This result is not
only big victory for Judge Hillyer,
won at the state capital against one
of the leading members of the state
bar, but would indicate the final can
collation. of all the outstanding notes
and a big saving to the local stock
men.

FARMERS MEET
Large Attendance Last Saturday at
High School AuditOriu m and Su-
gar Beets Discussed.

There was large meeting of farm
ers interested in the growing of su-
gar beets held at the high school au-
ditorium last Saturday afternoon. 1t
had been hoped that the new con-
tracts of the beet sugar companies
would be out in time to be discussed
at the meeting but as they were not
yet ready for announcement other
subjects in connection with the sugar
beet industry and farming generally
were discussed. C. NJ. Lee, president
of the Lamar National Bank, address,
ed the meeting on the subject of "Fi-
nancing the 1921 Crop" Senator J.
S. Hasty on Legislation in Which
Farmers Are Interested;" and w. A.
Leonard on Farm Labor Problems"
The agricultural college experts, who
have been in this section for some
time studying the sugar beet problems,
claim that the trouble with the sugar
beets in the valley is that the soil has
too much nitrate-the very thing that
the farmers of the east arc paying
thousands of dollars to put into their
farms. 1t looks as if it is hard
problem to get the right amount of
even n good thing.
The farm labor problem drew out
the most interesting discussion of the
meeting, and there were many views
expressed but practically all agreed
that the time had arrived when it was
necessary to see that the men who
were experienced and tried to work
right should receive the best wages.
A committee with w. A Leonard as
chairman was appointed to consider
the farm labor question and report at
a meeting called for Saturday Of this
week. The beet contracts are now
out and will also be up for discussion
at the time.

END OF AUTOCRACY
American Government viii Again Be
Republic After Friday.

Just two days more and the Ameri-
can people will again be living in
republic. Autocracy has run its course
and the restoration of constitutional
government will be effected peaceful
ly and with the least display that the
nation has ever known on its inaugural
occasions.
The irony of events is such that
while the present administration was
elected on slogan of "He Kept Us
Out of War" the first great problem
before the new administration will be
to restore peace to this nation and
withdraw our invading armies from
various foreign countries.
President-elect Harding shows his
sound sense and fitness for the job by
summoning a cabinet of the ablest
men in the country, and his apprecia-
ton of the immense task before him
by his practical announcement that
while he expects the able men he has
selected to take full charge and oper-
ate their respective departments,
there is ample work ahead for all
and there will be no monopoly by any
individual or family in this administra-
ton.

Bank Statements

The banks of the country are once
more publishing statements this week,
and John SHELTON Williams took his
last crack at the bankers by ordering
them to publish the salaries paid en-
ployes of every kind. Some of the
banks are complying and others ig-
more the demand as it is n well known
fact that before any action can be
taken under the order Williams him
self will be nothing but an unsavory
odor in the history of the banking
business. His first act on taking the
job was venting personal spite on a
Washington bank and he winds up his
career with general act of the same
character.

PRESBYTERIAN Social.

The Presbyterian church entertain
ed at dinner and social for the men,
bers and friends of the church last
Friday evening at the church. A large
number attended and enjoyed the ex-
cellent dinner served by the ladies of
the church. A social hour followed the
dinner which was much enjoyed by all.
The large dining room of the church
was used and the tables seated twice.
Much credit is due the women's or
ganization for the manner in which
this very enjoyable affair was manag-
ed and enjoyed.

Attempted Jail Delivery.

Last Thursday afternoon Sheriff
Simpson left two of his star boarders
charged with burglary Of a ring
in the corridor of the Jail while he
went down town. While away he and
Undersheriff Creaghe were called to
the country on an important case and
did not return until dark. When near
ing the Jail they discovered the lights
out on the second floor and hastened
in, arriving just in time to prevent
the escape of the two prisoners who
had broken loose enough bars on one
of the windows to enable them to get
out and would have been gone in a
few minutes. They get less freedom
now.

IMPORTANT DECISION
U. s. Supreme Court Upholds Farm
Loan Bank System.

The much looked for decision Of the
L. s. Supreme Court on the question
of exempting bonds Of the farm loan
banks from taxation was handed down
this week and upheld the act of con-
gress in every particular. The banks
have been unable to make loans for
some time as the litigation over the
act authorizing them to borrow money
on their bonds prevented them from
securing funds. Now that the ques-
tion is decided it may result in loosen
ing up the purse strings of the farm
loan banks and be a real help in fl
nancing the farmers through the per
iod of depression. 1t is claimed that
the decision will turn loose several
hundred millions of cash and make it
available for financing the farmers.
If it does it will go far towards re-
storing stability to the markets for
farm products and be of immense val
ue to all farming centers.

the gloom that has temporarily set
tied down on the alfalfa industry and
enjoyed the company's hospitality and
general social good time. F. NJ
Wilson, general manager, presided
and Kenneth Wood represented his
father, the company's president. After
partaking of a generous banquet, a
number Of good talks on present con-
ditions were made by several of those
present. The meeting broke up at a

Debate Team.

The District Championship debate
between the Leadville and Lamar high
schools will be held here on March
18th. Doubtless Lamar's opponent at
this time is the hardest to defeat in
the state. The school has debating
tradition. OF the two cups given in
debate, Leadville has won three times
and has one permanently in its pos
session and Lamar holds the other on
account of winning the state champion
ship last year. If the local team can
win this year and again next this cup
remains permanently.
The state is divided into three dis
tricts-the Western slope. the North
eastern section and the South eastern.
This district includes from Leadville
to the Kansas line, taking in Limon,
Hugo, Burlington, Salida, Victor,
Trinidad and of course the Arkansas
Valley. Pueblo is not member this
year of the league and Colorado
Spring is members but has no team.
So far Lamar has defeated Las AMI
mas and Rocky Ford. Leadville. too,
has won a couple of times. La Junta
and Trinidad forfeited The school
winning March 18th will next debate
the winner of the Western Slope.

AWAIT FOUR BIG STEAMERS.
u. s. Shipping Board VIII Seize Them
for InDaid Rent

NEW YORK. July 23.-Agents of the
United States shipping board waited to-
day for the arrival of four big steamers
leased to the United States Mail Steam
ship Co. in order that they might add
them to five seized in a series of harbor
raids last night.
Failure to observe the terms of the
contract entered into by the steamship
company with the shipping board was the
sole reason for the seizure of the ships,
said Mr.. SchleSinger, who acted through
out as the legal representative of the
board
Mr.. S;chlesinger in company with ]. Il.
Smull, technical shipping adviser to
Chairman Albert Lasker of the shipping
board. visited Charles Mayer, chairman
of the board of directors of the United
States Mail Steamship Co. at 120 Broad
way, about = o'clock yesterday evening.
They told him they had come to demand
payment of more than 100000 due aS
rental for the various ships chartered by
the company from the shipping board.
Not penny of rental, according to Mr.
Schlesinger, has been paid by the COM
pany since March 81.
