Hay and Barn Burn on Johnston Earn

Hay and Barn Burn on Johnston Farm
Twelve tons of hay and the barn on
the Roy Johnston farm, seven miles
southwest of town, were burned Sat-
urday evening about 7 o'clock, besides
some harness, forks, etc.
Mrs. Johnston had sent the little
boy to the neighbors for some matches
which errand he performed perfectly,
but he retained few and took them to
the play house near the hay stack
where another little brother was play
ing. Soon the play house was on fire
which quickly spread to the stack
which was close to the barn.
All the horses were in the barn but
these were all gotten out with some
difficulty.
The barn and the hay are a total
loss.-Van Hook Tribune.

Editor Evening News.
perth Annboy, n. j.
Dear Sir.
THE recent communication of Mr..
Alfred Nannen of Carteret regarding
a series of games between the Speed
ways ind the Roosevelt Separates
cannot go unanswered.
There are a number OF fans who
have witnessed IT, Speedway team
in action this yesr and who claim
that this team is having a grand
time defeating 'set-ups'. Would the
Roosevelt Separates uphold the rep
utation made by representatives Of
that borough in other sports. and by
SO doing, undo the record made by
the Speedway team?
THE teams we have played this
year on tia Auditorium court are,
the Jersey City Y. N. H. A., Niche
Inns. South Amboy. Jr. Mechanics.
Newark JUROR Mechanics, Newark
Roamers, ~Sayreville Big Five, York.
vile Separates, Orarge Big Five,
Norwoods Of Long Branch, Elizabeth
Big Five and George Wards Fight
ing Five. Awa7 from home we
have defeated the Soherville Caseys
who were represented by Regain,
Glochau, Pete Hansen and Yves Han
town Y. NJ. c. A.. teams.
"A record of fourte en- straight vic
tories after opening the season with
a defeat at the hands of the Newark
Junior Mechanics team on the New
ark court IL a creditable one, con-
sidering that the strong Somerville
Caseys and MicLelin teams, and
other strong teams bowed to the
Speedway .eam.
"If the Roosevelt manager can
show the FANS that the Separates
would o be a 'set-up' fors the
Speedways we will not hesitate in
booking them. At this time we also
wish to say that we are not endeav-
oring to side-step the local Y. NJ. H.
A. team, Harmony Five, Parish
House Of Woodbridge. Beauvais Post
American Legion OF T~ottenville, or
any other teams OF similar strength.
as reports being circulated would
make the fans believe.

FINE PYTHlAN oRA11old
DELlVERED ~ 04AlgO
CHANCELLOR DRA0FIkl.D

Solon Lodge No. 46, Knights
Of Pythias, had a rousins meet
ing Friday night November
IL. at which time the local
order was honored by an Off
cial visit by its Grand Chan
cellor, Hon. Geo. Bradfield,
District Judge of the Eighth
Judicial district, State of Colo
RADIO. In view Of the fact that
it was Armistice Day, an open
meeting of a patriotic nature
was held. After a short pre-
gram consisting of piano sell
ections by Mrs. A. R. Pollock,
vocal solos by Mrs. Abner
Farrow, readings by Mrs. John
Green and selections by the
Pythian quartette, Judge
Bradfield gave an eloquent
address which marked him an
orator of no mean ability.
Judge Bradfield. who is also
a member of other fraternal
organizations, outlined the
origin of the fraternal spirit
and gave many interesting de-
tails relating to the early
struggles of these orders, rea-
sons for their stupendous
growth, and their consequence
in the affairs of our present
civilization. He stated that the
promulgation of the Pythian
spirit has caused the order Of
knights of Pythias to number
its membership at nearly two
million, and that it was now
enjoying the greatest growth
in its history. Judge Brad
field also related many anus
ing stories incident to his vo-
cation. Scion Lodge expects
to derive much benefit from
his visit.

Sargent - Monte
Vista Feolban Teams
Clash On Turkey Day


Monte Vista and Sargent
high school football teams will
play their Turkey Day game
here in Monte on Thanksgiv-
ing afternoon.
The two teams met early in
the season and Monte won Ia
to 6.
The dope gives Monte a
slight advantage in comparing
the games played by these
two teams with Center, Del
Norte and Saguache, but when
Sargent and Monte clash all
dope sheets go to smash, for
Sargent always does better
against Monte than against
any other team.
Sargent has been practicing
hard for this game and they
are reported as having a bunch
of new plays that are sure to
work against Monte.
Monte appears to have fal-
len back upon straight football
tactics as they depended upon
this kind of a game thru out
the recent Armistice contest
with Saguache and did well
at it.
Considering the records
made by both teams this sea-
son the Turkey Day Game
should be hard fought and
close.
All of Monte Vista and Sar.
gent community should be at
this game to back up their
favorites and let the boys
know that their people are
strong for them.

VALLEY MAKES STRONG
CASE BEFORE INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMMISSION

The following taken from
Pueblo newspapers, is indica-
tive that the effort of c. S. Bir-
kins aided by support from
the San Luis valley CONNER
cial organizations, promises
to attain results desired in the
matter of lower freight rates
to and from this valley:
Pueblo, Colo, Nov. 15-At
the hearing held in this city
Monday before the United
States commissioner, wherein
San Luis valley points seek res.
toration of Group ] rate on
freights the testimony on be-
half of the San Luis valley, ap-
pear overwhelmingly in
favor of restoration.
The case attracted wide in
terest among shippers OF
Southern and Southwestern
Colorado. as ii means making
-Alamosa a common point with
Denver, for Pacific coast pro-
ducts.
The Group J rate has been
ignored or neglected by the
railways. and it is sought to
impel them to grant it to ship
pers.
Should Alamosa thus be de-
rlared common point the
whole southwest region will
receive California fruits from
the tree and canned, as well
as other Pacific coast pro-
ducts. embracing Arizona and
California. at the same rate OF
freight that is paid at Denver
on the same goods.
The Group J rate, while i
should have been observed
practically became dead. un
til c. S. Birkins Of the Sar
Luis valley. discovered that
shippers were being denied
this right.
Directing the attention OF
San Luis valley commercial
organizations to the existence
of the Group J rate. Mr.. Bir
kins secured their cooper.
alton in bringing about a hear
ing before the U. S. commits
sioner at Pueblo.
II is the consensus Of opin
ion OF those who heard tn,
testimony that the commission
cr cannot fail to order thu oh
servance Of Group J rate.
