church life. Geo. SniNely, who will
preach the dedicatory sermon, and
have charge Of the dedication cere-
monies, has no peer in this line OF
work. He has dedicated churches
all over the United States, and our
church people feel that they are
among the favored ones in securing
his services for this occasion. Prom
inent church workers from Denver
will also take part on the program.
The churches of the town will unite
in the morning and afternoon SER
vices. and the local pastors will as

CUPID is WORKING
AS RESULTS SHOW

Cupid is surely making the most
of the month of marriages, and for
the past week has put on a double
shift, with the result that three
Clayton couples have been united in
the Holy bonds.
Laudet-Steele
In Denver, Colorado, on June i6,
Mr.. b. A. Laudet and Miss Edna

.of Grenville. She was for several
years in the employ OF the Otto
johnson Mere. Co., as bOokkeeper.
She is a member of the Eastern Star
and Royal Neighbor lodges and also
a charter member of the Ladies'
Auxiliary of the American Legion.
Miss steele has spent about two
months at Long Beach, Calf, and
was ON her way home when Mr. Lau-
det met her in Denver. Mrs. Laudet
numbers her friends by her ac-
quaintances. which is very extensive
and all wish her nothing but happy
returns.
MIR. Laudet is one of the statesmen
at the Pioneer Garage. He came
here from Iowa, in 1917, and began
work for the Pioneer Garage cons
pany as a mechanic. He is the son
of Mrs. w. s. Barger, Of Preston
Nebraska. When the war began he
enlisted and served with the 9th
Division, and spent a year overseas
Upon his return from the army he
took the position Of salesman with
the Pioneer. Bernard, as he is known

arms in the American Legion, and is
one OF the real boosters Of that Or

Dreams are now becoming a real
ily. Trails are about to be made into
first class highways in Union cOun-I
~. New Mexico The people who
only a few years ago had hope of
some day seeing the county seat con-
necled by a system of good roads
to every part of the county even
the remOtesl. are beginning to see
that hope justified.
Two Federal Aid projects, known
as No. 90 and No. So will be let for
construction about July 9th. These
two projects connect with the coun-
ty seat, Clayton, all of the county TO
the south, and the western part, be-
sides there are. some very good roads
connecting with these two projects
that gives a good system of high
ways.
The oldest section of the county
(the Cimarron valley is still with
out good roads and as Claytno is the
only logical market for the products
of this community, it is necessary
that some connection be made, and
thig can only be by building a road
iht0 this community.
When the assignment was made
for the southern and western por-
ton of the county to receive Federal
aid there was quite a good bit of
comment from the Cimarron eOm-
munity because they had been left
out. Other sections Of the county
thought this to be fitting and prop
er. Now that the Cimarron COM
munity is receiving some help on
their roads we should feel the same
way. for the Chamber of Commerce
believes that it is entirely fitting and
proper that this. the oldest section
of the county, should receive some
consideration at the hands Of thu
county commissioners, and that thi;
community should be connected with
Clayton.

In the first game of the season
in which the Clayton Grays partici-
pated, the home team got a good
walloping by the baseball aggrega-
ton from Grenville, on Sunday. The
final score was Z to a.
The Grenville boys got off right
from the start, scoring one run in
the first inning. In the fifth, they
annexed two more and in the sew
enth they added 3 runs, and one in
hte 9th, making the total of Z.
The Clayton boys were presented
with a shut-out for six straight in
nings, but in the seventh they start
cd fireworks at the expense of the
Grenville boys, that looked mighty
threatening Patterson, the first man
up, struck out. Kirby poled out
hit for the entire circuit, scoring
the first run. McFadden hit safely
Moore got a base on a scratch hit.
Lynch hit for three bases, scoring
McFadden and Moore. Corich hit to
the pitcher, and on the play to get
COrich. Lynch scored, making the
four runs for Clayton.
Clayton was unable to saefly con-
meet in the next two innings
Clayton should have won by all
Emcans if the batting record is any
thing to go by, as the hits secured
by them iotaled IA, while Grenville
only secured 7 safeties off Corich.
The whole trouble with the Clayton
boys was their inability to bunch
hits and a number of errors in the
fatal seventh inning.
Corich pitched in regular mid
season fashion, getting strikeouts
and allowing but free pass. Be
sides pitching a good game, Johnny
hit safely three times out of four
times at bat.

home run by Kirby and the three

The Rotarians again crossed bats
with their antagonists, the Left
Handlers, on Wednesday, and Gran
ville's Lefties proceeded to give the
Rotating (?l boys the wallOping of
their lives In fact. the Lefties we're
so decidedly hoggish that only six
members of the Rotary rotated. The
Lefties. as soon as they came 10 bat,
began landing on the hOrsehide with
a vengeance. and scored three runs
in the first spasm OF the game. Hill
on the mound did his hest to stop
the slaughter, and put all the steam
he had behind the ball, but it did no
good. With 4 broad grin on their
faces the pOrt-siders just kept maui
ing them for all they were worth.
Anderson changed with Hill, but he
had left his specs at home and failed
TO throw where he was looking, and
the story was repeated. Henry Err
rett, behind the bat for the Rotary,
was catching in real league style,
and had it not been for his ability
to spring like jumping jack and
stop wild throws, there is no telling
what might have been the score.
| Lefty Lujan was on the mound for
the side wheelers and his control
was so good that he always tossed
the ball into the weak spots of the
batters and they missed them so
much that they could not get their
men on bases. Prep Kser caught
and his work was 50 pretty we be-

WILL HOLD
ANOTHER ROUNDUP

If no unforeseen obstacle arises.
Clayton will stage another big
Roundup this year. The date now
under consideration will be some
time in August. The Roundup last
year was one of the biggest events
in the history of the town, and it
is expected that the one planned for
this year will equal if not eclipse
last years performance. The Cham
Der of Commerce will be behind the
celebration, and that is a guarantee
that it will go over in fine style. We
hope to get the complete dope on
the Roundup III the near future,
and give it in time for our readers
to make preparation for attending
the big event.
