KitCarson Club
Plans to Secure
A New Member

(Fir.t Day Of sThe Stuek-up.O
mo, fellows, 1 don't believe it's
because Dan Goodman thinks he
is any better than us members
of the Kit Carson Club, hut do
think he's just sort of-well.
bashful Is the word that ex-
presses what I mean, I guess
Shy, you know. can't figure
out any other reason why he
should refuse to have anything
to do with any of u.s."
Ned Fox. chief scout of the Kit
Carson Club, was addressing the
weekly meeting up in Bill Ben
sons barn. The ten other mem
bers were seated on boxes in a
half circle around Ned's table
that served as a desk for him
and Tom Butterworth, secretary
of the club.
'T walked up to Dan day be-
fore yesterday" went on Ned,
"and ! says Hello, Dan and he
says Hello and was going to
walk right past me and let It go
at that, but I grabbed him by the
arm and says, friendly-like,
How's everything with you,
Danny. oil boyr All he says.
oh, fine. thank you and pulled

there that I wouldn't have any
thing TO do with a stuck-up like
him IL he wanted to act that
way. But since. I've changed nv
mind, and I've been wondering II
we couldn't do Dan a world o.
good by getting him to join this
club of ours. Maybe we could
help him get over his bashful-
ness
yed's Plan.
Ned had no sooner finished
than Tom Butterworth spoke up.
Sounds like a good idea, but
how are we going to interest him
in this club IL he won't have any
thing to do with us?"
That's easy enough, I guess"
replied Ned. We'll just send
him a note telling him we'd like
to have him come along with US
on our hike to Roaring Rapids
next Saturday. And then well
send committee OF two OF US
around to see Dams mother when
he isn't home. and ask her to
urge him to come along with us
on the trip. When Dan finds his
mother wants him to go, guess
he will"
Dams a good scout, I bet, and
II we make him feel at home on
the hike, he'll want to join the
club"

consent Of all the members, Tom

Report of Hay Sales

and July:
Sold during the month of June,
86 cars, averaging IA tons to the

which brought a total amount of
$17,216.
Some few cars Of standard and
grain hay brought $500 per ton,
while dairy hay brought $500,
making general average of
about $l4,00 per ton for June.
In July business slumped to
such an extent that we sold only
II cars, averaging about Ia tons
to the car. This hay brought an
average of $1,000 per ton, which
brought to the farmers about
81, 848.00
The output for this period was
much less than usual, but when
We take into consideration the
fact that hay prices for the years
1920 and 1921 have been steadily
downward, the heaviest decline
has been in the last 60 days.
There are number of causes
which contribute to this decline,
all of which are about equally
important. The main causes are
a lack of demand in the southern
and southeastern consuming sec.
tionS, the tightness of money anc
the closing down of the mining
interests in our home State, al
of which have practically left us
