Wright; that the said Mollie Wright resid-

self within this state that she has not been
heard of for seven consecutive years by her
relatives or by the Judge Of this Court, or by
the persons interested in her estate.

application for Letters of Administration be
given to the said Mollie Wright, by publica-
ton in the IRON COUNTY REGISTER for four
consecutive weeks, that the Probate Court

concerning the alleged absence Of said sup
posed decedcnt and the circumstances and

was merely an amateur game, the
baseball rules did not apply and a
"dope" ball was permissible! That
settled the matter for this "amateur"
umpire; he had "heard his masters
voice.n
During the entire game Murphy fl
ed, roughened and cut the covering
of every ball we used-the poor fellow
has nothing but glove and prayer
unless he is permitted to use this
crooked pail. And this is the same
Murphy who protested vigorously
when one Tom Seston used 'dope"
ball against him at Poplar Bluff on
July 18th, 1921, when Poplar Bluff won
to the tune of IS to O!
The necessity for using crooked
methods in order to hold the Arcadia
Valley team is evidenced by the score
2 to lin ten innings, in favor of
Desloge. Well they knew that in
legitimate baseball they we're not in
Arcadia Valleys class.
We take this means of expressing
our utter contempt for such baseball!
tactics as this Desloge management
displayed last Sunday, and we are
convinced that the real baseball fans
of Desloge do not approve. Such
management will kill baseball in any
town which permits it. We are proud
of the fact that the Arcadia Valley
team has never resorted to any illegal
methods, but have played "fast, clean,
snappy baseball" all summer. AS
proof of this statement we offer the
editor of the Desloge Sun, in his last
weeks issue.

Judge Add Reese, with gang of
concrete men and concrete mixer,
came down last week and built an ov-
erfow bridge across Big Creek at the
Wire Bridge. They certainly worked
in hurry. They have also built a
bridge across Big Greek at the
Warncke ford, one mile south of An
napolis. Add is good bridge builder
as well as good Judge. l hope he
will finish the Brunot road soon for
we need it badly. Our trade from out
there is now going to Piedmont, as
there is good road from Brunot to
Piedmont.
Godfrey O'Neal, wife and sisters

visited Des Arc friends in the Holy

Mrs. Maddox is in receipt of let
ter from Mrs. Minnie Ronald, nee Col
Inns. She lives at Rector, Arkansas.
Her only son, II years old, was drown
ed in July. She says that her broth
er, Rev. John Collins, died in Janua-
ry. There are only two of the Collins
family now living. Mrs. Nettie
Chase's husband died several years
ago. She has one son living. He lost
his wife last winter. Mrs. Chase is
now keeping house for him. Chas.
Collins, the father, was many years
ago merchant here.
Mrs, Blanche Williams and daugh-

Nellie Stamp and Warren Stamp went
to Piedmont Sunday.
Mrs. Blanche Williams and daugh-
ter, Helen, returned to their home in
St. Louis Monday, after weeks visit
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs, Thos.

when we have to say goodbye to our
loved ones, for we know we will not
be here much longer.

For Good of the Service

Postmaster l.. M. Markham gave a
,get-together luncheon in the rear room
of the office last Friday evening for
the entire force both inside and field
men. There was 100 per cent at
tendance, every man being present.
The luncheon was strictly informal as
no set speeches had been prepared but
all matters connected with the service
were discussed between the various
members of the force and it was soon
demonstrated that hearty spirit of
cooperation between both inside of
ficers and field men exists, and all
wish in every possible way to increase
the efficiency of the organization.
They enjoyed a fine luncheon and a
pleasant evening, as well as develop
ing a number of new ideas that will
result in better understanding and
more efficient service.

RED CROSS DRIVE
Prowers County's Campaign for Mem
bership Roll in Charge of
Victor HOvis.

There was a fair sized attendance
present last Friday evening for the
annual Red Cross meeting to prepare
for the membership roll drive, which
begins on Armistice Day and continues
to Thanksgiving Day. Chairman C.
Ray Strain of the Prowers County
Chapter, called the meeting to order
and asked for the annual reports of
the secretary and treasurer. Miss
Stansbury read a very interesting re-
port showing the work done the past
year and the amount of relief extend
ed to those that needed it. C. M. Lee
reported on the financial condition
showing that over five thousand dol
lars had been spent in relief work the
past year and that there was still a
balance of S36381O in the chapters
treasury.
Miss Elsie NJ. Slaughter of St. Louis,
the representative of the national or
ganization for this division, was pres
ent and spoke a few words of con-
gratulations on the showing of this
chapter.
The plans for the membership roll
drive were then discussed and it was
on motion agreed that the officers
should select the chairman for the
drive. They nave since selected Victor
NJ. Hovis, who is well known for eff
ficient organization work in this sec
tion, and will make success of this
drive. There were a number present
from other sections of the county and
all seemed enthusiastic over the work.

DECIDED CELEBRATION.

Stock Assessed at Meeting of Fl. Lyon
Canal.

A special assessment of 15 cents per
share for the year was made by stock
holders of the Fort Lyon Canal Com
pany at an adjourned meeting of the
stockholders held in the office of the
company here Monday. Proceeds
from the assessment will be used to
help pay for repairing damages to the
headgates and bitches by the flood of
June 4th.
The meeting was the second attempt
to get a quorum of the stockholders in
meeting to levy the assessment.
There was little OF position to the move
for the assessment. Many of the
heavier stockholders declared that
they realized that the extra levy was
necessary to put the system hack in
first class condition.
The assessment will be payable with
other assessments, an allotment of it
coming due every four months during
the year.
Negotiations have been opened for
n loan of $65,0O0 by the Federal Bank
for the purpose Of making repairs.
The amount will be forthcoming later,
officers announced. 1t will run for a
period of five years and will draw in

THINGS CHANGE
Well It's Good Idea-Pass 1t Along

Not many moons ago a prominent
merchant placed some very high grade
signs in front of his business house.
Along came the city council and for
the civic pride of Lamar-to make
Main street more beautiful-they de-
manded that the signs be taken down.
Guess they were in the fire limit.
Things are different nowi Civic pride
be hanged. Large flaming sign boards
now grace Main street, lunch wagons
are wheeled into the fire limits to
make the civic center more artistic, a
series of canyons in Main street add
to the scenic effect, and in order to
give London mist glow at sunrise
and sunset sprinkling has been stop
ped to let the dust fill the air.
In order to help the coal dealers
some city officials have been buying
coal for themselves and friends from
the city at cost-but this is confined
to new comers and non-taxpayers-no
taxpayers will be permitted to get in
on such easy things. Legitimate coal
dealers need not apply, and any short
age in the car will fall on the users
of the city heat, who pay the bills.
But this is all right-they ought not
to use heat in mild climate like this
Old man Hendrie of Hendrie & Bolt
dorf Of Denver has been so conscience
stricken for selling the city so much
high priced electrical equipment that
to ease his poor conscience he has
been investing the profits in dry land
in this part Of the state. Thus our
city aldermen are starting a land
boom all Of their own. But for civic
betterment keep up the signboards
let the lunch wagons come, and lei
the elect have city coal at cost.

SANAGES TAKE LEAD
Lamar Boys Win While La Junta and
Rocky Ford Play Tie Game.
League Standing

The games of last Saturday made
little change in the standing of the
football teams in the Arkansas Valley
High School League. Lamar having
lost no game is now the leader, but
the real test is to come when our
team meets the other league leading
teams in the next three games.
The Lamar team went to Fowler
last Saturday and won the game there
by a score of 13 to o. The game was
well played and hotly contested. The
Fowler boys are showing marked i'm
provement in action and our team was
somewhat handicapped by having sew
eral of its best players out of line, be-
ing on the injured in action list.
The game at La Junta between that
team and Rocky Ford resulted in a
tie score, 9 to 9. 1t was a very pc
culiar game as each team did all its
scoring in one quarter, La Junta in
the third and Rocky Ford in the
fourth. Each team secured a goal
from field, which is not a frequent
score in high school football and has
only been made a few times in the
valley league. In spite of having
kickers who could make this unusual
play each team failed to kick its goal
after touchdown and thus left the
game a tie.
Las Animas defeated Ordway but
the latter team succeeded in making a
touchdown and goal gaining its first
score in this seasons league race. The
final score was Las Animas 13, Ord
way Z.
The Lamar boys are going strong
and expect to give good account of
themselves in the big games that are
coming now. They have an open date
for Saturday of this week.

New Farming Industry Started
INVESTIGATES EMMER COMPANY AND BRINGS
FARMERS TOGETHER MEETING.

about sixty bushels to the acre-most-
ly on dry land.
Mr.. Blaeser is an interesting and
convincing talker and made a fine i'm
preston on all of his audience. He
stated that the company would con-
tract to take crop and pay three
fourths the price of wheat with a
guaranteed minimum of SIPS per
hundred. The company will furnish
the seed at $5 per hundred and pay
the same price for the first grain up
to the amount of the seed. After this
they will pay the contract price. He
did not try to sign up acreage as he
just wanted to get his proposition bCt
fore the farmers, and field men Of
the organization will visit them later
and explain the matter more fully and
agree with them on the amount of
crop to be contracted. If sufficient
acreage is contracted in the Lamar
territory the company will guarantee
to build an elevator here to handle
the crop more efficiently and have it
ready by harvest time. Mr.. Blaeser
says it is too late to attempt to get
ready for winter emmer now, but the
spring variety will grow equally well
here.
The company is rapidly developing
its market and expects to confine its
manufacturing and growing operations
to Colorado as long as the state can
supply the demand. The development
will necessarily demand more mills
and these will be constructed where
the largest supply of the grain comes
from.
All the farmers present were great
ly interested in the talk of Nh. Blaeser
and at its close went up to examine
his samples and ask questions regard
ing the crop. 1t looks on the face of
things to be one of the best possible
crops for our high lands and if it
proves profitable the possibilities are
enormous as there are hundreds of
thousands of acres now uncultivated
that can be broken up and used for
raising emmer If the crop and market
proves favorable.
On the whole the meeting was one
of the most interesting ever held by
our Y. NJ. b. A, and it showed pos
sibilities in the line of upbuilding the
country that are equal TO any ever
before explained to our people.
