PHIL HEAPS GOALS OF EIDE fpn< SERIUES

When Phil Morrison allowed the lowly Vols to capture his nanny the other day and make off with an 5 to 4 victory in that never-to- be for gotten ninth inning rally, members of the scribe tribe kinda romped 3n Phil. The moniker "Sillybub' was even tackled onto his name. All of which made Sir Phil bit peeVed, to say the least. But Worry has his revenge. e
 Yesterday Phil twirled no-hlt game as nonchalantly as Zipp New man munches "goobers' in the press box. When it was all over, there was nothing for the scribes to do but doff their lids to Phil and acknowi l. edge that their judgment of few days ago was a bit hasty,
 Phi does deserve credit for work ing so hard and pitching such air tight bali yesterday when he could have breezed along under that II run lead the Barons were pilins up for him.

 Three Games With Chicks
 Three games will be played with the Memphis Chicks this coming weekend Tomorrow double -head- CT will be staged This baseball matinee should bring out one of the biggest crowds of the season.
 Saturday, single game will be played
 The league leaders are now eight and q half games ahead of the Bar ons Unless something startling ir the way of wins and losses occurs soon, it's going to be a mighty hard task for the Barons to cut this lead much, for the Chicks have shown no inclination to crack. as many pre- dicted they would.
 They Can Be stopped
 It was proven in tho last Baron Chick series that the Tribesmen can be stopped however, and now Is the time for Molcy's men to perform this little stunt.
 Mike Eberhard and Earl Whitehlil are sure to twirl two of the games against the Chicks. Doe" Newton will probably twirl the other one, probably one of the games tomorrow, If the Barons play their usual game and if the twirlers are in form, some- body IS liable to be surprised when the official totals are tolled off Sat urday night.
 It's the Barons chance to make their bid for the flag, and all Magic City fandom is behind them strons, pulling for Moleys men to cop the series from the Chicks.

SANITARY ORDER NO. 25

In view of the fact that at the pre-
sent time the State Board of Stock
Inspection Commissioners is not in
possession of sufficient detailed infor-
nation to enable it to describe the
boundaries of the territory where the
cattle mango exists and which should
be .quarantined until cleaned of scab,
it is hereby ordered that all owners
of infected or exposed cattle proceed
with the dipping of the same in such
manner as will effectually eradicate
the disease. The board will continue
its study of conditions and at a lat
er date will issue an order similar to
the one issued last year and require
the dipping of all cattle offered for
shipment from localities where their
Investigations have shown that mango
exists. Therefore, in order to avoid
the necessity of dipping at time of
shipment cattlemen should be certain
that their herds are free from mango
infection.

GOVERNMENT LOANS TO
FARMERS IN DROUGHT
STRICKEN AREAS
Starting Organization to Buy Seed
Was First Official Act of
Secretary Wallace.

The first official act of Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace was to take up
the consideration of making loans to
farmers in drought-stricken areas for
the purchase of seed, for which pur-
pose Congress recently appropriated
S2,000,000. The law states that the
Secretary of Agriculture is authorized.
for the crop of 1921, to make advances
or loans to farmers in drought-strick-
en- areas in the United States where
he finds that special need for such as
sistance exists for the purchase of
wheat, oats, barley, and flax-seed for
seed purposes.
Farmers in Urgent Need
1t has been found that there is a
need for such loans to farmers in
western North Dakota and parts of
Montana, where there was serious
drought last year. Farmers in those
areas are reported to be in urgent
need of seed for spring planting, and
plans are being made with the least
possible delay by Secretary Wallace
to provide such farmers with money
at a low rate of interest for the pur-
chase of grain and flaxseed.
Leon NJ. Estabrook, Chief of the Bu-
reau of Crop Estimates, has been des-
ignated by the Secretary to have gen
eral supervision of the organization to
make the loans, and C. W. Warburton,
of the Bureau of Plant Industry, has
been put in charge of the field or
ganization. These men were in charge
of the seed-grain loans in the fall of
1918 and spring of 1919, which were
made available by n special fund al
lotted for the purpose by the Presi-
dent,
Mr.. Warburton will establish head
quarters at Fargo, N. Dakota, and will
issue information and instructions to
extension leaders, county agents, and
other officials who will cooperate in
placing the loans. The department
will be represented in every county by
the county agent, and either the coun-
ty agent or some other representative
of the Government who is familiar
with local conditions will pass upon
each application for loan. The law
authorizing the loans states that the
Government is to take n first lien on
the crop to be produced from the seed
obtained through the loan, and that
the Secretary of Agriculture may in
his discretion deem this sufficient &C.
curity.
Every effort will be made by de-
pertinent officials to have the neces-
sary organization for making loans in
operation well in advance of the plant
ing season.

lie school property and in the expen-
ditures for public schools in the state
in the past biennial period. Reports
from all counties show that the total
amount spent for public school pur-
poses in Colorado during the school
year ending June 80, 1920, was S13,-
279, 9,407.44, compared with S9,892 ,699.-
IS for the school year ending June 80,
1918. The amount invested in public
school property at the close of,the last
fiscal year was 1923 ,493.47, with
one county not reported. On June 80,
1918, the amount invested in school
property, with four counties not re-
ported, was sl6,439. .Ol5.1l. The aver
age monthly cost of public school edu-
cation during the past year based up
on total enrolment in the public
schools was S9.39 per pupil, compared
with SS.72 for the school year ending
with June 80, 1918. There has been
n large increase in the total amount
of taxes levied for the support of the
public schools of the state in the past
two years, the increased revenue be-
ing spent chiefly for teachers salaries
and for new buildings and equipment.
Total expenditures for public schools
in the state at present, exclusive of
expenditures of public funds for high
er education, now amount to about one
third the taxes collected.
Compilations made by the State I'm
migration Department from the re-
cords of the State Tax Commission
and from the advance reports of the
federal census bureau show that the
average value of farm land in the
state as reported by county assessors
in 1920 was s16.45 per acre, compar-
ed with S31.22 reported by the census
bureau. Assessors report nearly 49,
100000 acres Of farm land on the tax
rolls, while the census bureau found
the average value Of farm land and
buildings in the state on January /,
1920, to be s35.40 per acre. Reports
of county assessors show the value of
all farm property, including land,
buildings, livestock and farm imple-
ments, to have averaged e23.16 on the
1920 assessment. The census report
shows an increase of more than 10,-
100000 acres IN farm land in the state
in the past decade and an increase of
1921 per acre in average value.

CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP
(By Elmer Lighter)

Little dnbs of varnish, little dabs OF
paint,
Makes the world look brighter even
if it amt.
Rakin' off the yards makes the grass
grow green,
Adds al lot of beauty and makes the
things look clean.
Washin' up the windows makes them
look so bright,
Besides it makes the home more cheer
full and lets in lots of light.
Everybody seems to have the clean
up spirit. One glance over our beau
tiful city shows that the spirit of Clean
Up and Paint Up is right in our midst.
Take Main street. Several business
houses are redecorating their stores,
painting the fronts and every bit adds
to identifying things. Even over on
the North Side they have got tired of
looking at old frame buildings on
"hcSio' So iioNtu tiltil ONtT Oh bnc
south side to beautify Main street.
More new sign boards are going up
on South Main street that will help
make the city more beautiful.
It's been rumored when the new
city council takes office that they are
going to decorate the drinking foun-
tains on Main street so that the thirsty
can get drink of water and not have
to resort to white mule.
Soon the new ahree hundred thous-
and dollar light plant will be in opera
tion-then there's hope that the street
lights will shine stronger and tourists
won't think as they enter the portals
of our beautiful city. that they are
entering a swamp filled with lighting
bugs.
So let's altogether get the spirit of
the Clean Up and Paint Up and make
the whole world know that Lamar is
the Wonder City, that's so clean it's
bound tn prow
