been working under the commission

investigation has been made by the

information from reliable sources,
from these various cities, as to the

Among the answers received from
cities under 10000 population were
the following.

been entirely satisfactory in every

burn is in its favor, and particularly
a very large majority of those who
in the main pay the bills.

Bakersfield, Cal (1S,69S). The
city manager plan has been an un-

CITY BASEBALL LEAGUE

Geo. H. Wilson, president
of the Bczeman City Bobeban
league, announces two impor-
tant decisions affecting the
play for the rest of the sum-
mer. In the first place the
pitcher will not nave any
chance to warm up or prac-
tice between innings. This
decision will be as fair to one
team as another. All players
must be on the grounds at
$3.50 o'clock when the game is
scheduled to start, or the play
will go on anyway.

=a,1d no1u that the Sho1U is ouer

We feel that we have demonstrated to the
people that we have definite place in the affairs
ofAmarillo and the Plains Country Of Texas.
Alta time when there was every evidence Of
financial and consequent business depression we
staged an event declared by those who are in
position to know, to be the best and most thor
ough gloom-dispeling agency ever known in this
section. Reference is here made to the Auto
mobile and Style Shows, held simultaneously
with the annual convention Of the Buyers and
Sellers Association
In making this statement about the success Of
the event just closed we are not anogating to our,
selves any Of the glory attaching to business men
mother lines. Weaccord to themthe fullmeaswe
Of uedt that is theirs and it is in no mean proper
ton in rounding out the ultimate scope Of success
achieved.
Having reached the conclusion that the de-
preston was in large measure psychological 1.-The
Amarillo-P Panhandle Automotive Association de-.
termined to set in motion an agency Of offset. The
show was selected as the medium through which
gloom might best be dispeled. This stage Of the
game reached, announcement was made that we
will have a show. In this Of course, we went on
the assumption that we would have heful, hearty
and unselfsh cooperation Of the business menm
other lines. Nor were we disappointed. The other
business men were back Of US, lending their sug-
gestions and support at every turn. We also reallz-
ed our need for the cooperation Of the cattlemen
through the effective agency Of their smpasslngly
active Buyers and Sellers Association, having
from the first reached the conclusion to hold the
Shows on the dates Of the annual convention Of
that organization la. ..., =.
For the unqualified success Of the Shows, we
are profoundly grateful to every agency tending
to make more secure our ambition in connection
with the enterprise. Weadmit our agreeable sur
prise not at the success but in the measure OF the
same, uowning our combined efforts We realize
