Girls From Nine States
To Compete in Canning

CHI canners Of nine states-the
sosthwestsrn portion Of the United
Statss-wilI compete at the Colorado
State Fair, the Last week In September,
fw three-monthS free tour of
Europe.
These states comprise one u the
i've districts In the entire country.
TIE winners In this district during the
fair will 60 to Chicago and there com
pete with the winners In canning con-
tests, and the four winners ut Chicago
will be the lucky ones to 60 abroad
next summer In company with their
instructors and chaperones.
To Miss Mauds Sheridan, State
Le-.Ar Of Boys and Girls Clubs, Is
due the credit for having the contest
for sever states held at the big fair
in Pueblo. This will be perhaps the
,nost important contest for young peo-
pie ever conducted q the entire United
States. Not only will II bring girls
proficient In the art Of canning fruits
and vegetables from many states, but
II will bring their friends also, and at
rhs same time attract visitors from
everywhere.

foot every right tho working class
are supposed to enjoy. They talk
about the fine instincts of humanity
and exploit every fine instinct there
is in mankind. They talk democracy
while they pass laws that negate de-
mocarcy and establish a force Of DO
lice, militia, etc. to see to make up
the CHASTITY farce that We today call
democracy, No, dear Editor Graves,
the working class do not count any
more. They are mere pawns In the
game that gees on that some call
lsivilization. Why last week, right
in the city Of Chicago, some Of the
working GLASS were compelled to run
the gauntlet Of fifteen or more burly
detectives and submit to terrible
beatings. This happened In the Unit
ID States! We wonder II Patrick
henry, as lie fought for the founding
Of this republic, ever dreamed that
t was for this that he fought?
We wonder II the soldiers who
marched through the driven SHOWS
of New England ever dreamed, as
The blood from their wounds left
a bloody trail behind, that over one
hundred years ate, such things as
the above could happen In America?
To read the history Of those who
ought and founded this republic Is
Inspiring, but to read OF the bastard
y outrages that were committed dur
.ng the first annual conference OF
he trade union educational league Is
ragic. The most tragic part Of 1t
is that the police continue to do these
things without awakening any pro-
test from the working class. Yes,
avs with teeth for the owners but
protective laws for the working
class.

LIGHT PRIMARY
VOTE IN RAYMER

The primary vote In Raymer was
the lightest in years. Only a little
over ten per cent Of the registration
took the pains to vote at the polls.
This is In part because Of the lack
Of local interest in any Of the con-
tests.
The slump was greater In the Dem
ocratic than in the republican col
umn, due to the fact that the non
partisans claimed a big vote last
year, and this year we hear little
CT that organization.
Sweet was high man for governor
with the democrats, receiving l3 to
6 for Sabine. For county office, Cord
,er was high man for sheriff, receiving
12, to 2 for Hodgson and 4 for Finch.
On the republican side the out
standing feature was the fact that
Miss Kent received every republican n
vote and no one voted for Mis- Whit
man. Miss Whitman was unable to
get here during the campaign, while
Miss Kent was here twice and cover
ed the territory we'll.
Abbey was also nicely rememb bered
by the people receiving 46 votes, to
10 for Wattenburg and 2l for Har-
baugh.
Timberlake was high with IS votes
TO for Ozman.
1t was disappointment to US that
Judge Garrigues did not receive a
unanimous vote. He deserved that
from this precinct.
For governor Griffith was the fav-
orite. receiving Is to IA for Cooley
Charley Davis was high for state
treasurer, getting 26 to 10 for Null
nix. .....
Littell received 35 to 4 for Nume.
As we go to press, we have nothing
definite from the county.

EASE BALL SERIES
BREAKING CLOSE

The two games at Stoneham be-
tween Virgins an Stoneham last Sat-
urday and Sunday were an even
break between the two teams. Stone
ham won the Saturday game by a
close score of 5 to 3.
Sunday Virgins took the game,
score Is to 20.
Judging from the score. neither
team played the class Of ball that
they have been playing earlier in the
season.
While we have not been informed
We suppose that this week end will
see two games at Virgins, the first on
Saturday and the next on Sunday
afternoon, provided of course that
Virgins should not win the Saturday
game.
The dope is that Stoneham will win
Saturday and that Sunday will see
>:he real game Of the season.
