the people of Union county, the
Chamber of Commerce has made
some notable achievements in hav-
ing road construction looked after,
and equally distributed to all sec

through the courtesy and cOOpeTa-
ton Of the C. & S. railway, a fair
reduction on grain and coal rates,
The new board of directors will

UNION COUNTY CREAMERY
GO0PERATES WITH FARMER

II has long been the cry of the
honest tiller of the soil in Union
county that cooperation has been
preached hut never put into actual
practice. This, no doubt, has been
the result of a mistrust, not alone
on the part of the individual, but on
the part of the whole. No one has
been able to say just where the fault
lies: enough to know that no praC-
teal application has been made of
a theory that approaches the ideal
for civic relationship.
Under the caption 'Dickman
Scores Again The News wishes TO
chronicle the real effort that is be
ing put forth by his business to put
into practice what is accepted by
all business today as real coapera-
ton whether the business is agri-
culture or the buying and selling of
the many lines of merchandise.
The purpose of this article is not
to advertise H. l.. Dickman, but to
clearly set before the people of this
county, whom The News serves, the
golden opportunity now being ex-
tended to them by the Union County
Creamery to participate in the con-
duct Of this business, which is des-
tined TO be a potential factor in de-
vcloping the dairy industry in North
eastern New Mexico.
The thing Of real import is that
the Union County Creamery is ask
ing the farmers to elect n man as
tester at their creamery. whose in
trgrity cannot be questioned. In the
second place every farmer lonly) is
allowed iO cast a ballot for the man
of his choice. In the third place, the
ballots shall he mailed to Chas. Ad-
ans, president of the Union County
Farm Bureau, Thomas, N. NJ.
Unless this opportunity is grasp
ed, all of the old arguments must be
revised or new ones produced. a
real cooperative creamery" where
the farmer has a voice, and where
farmer has representation without
having to obligate himself in a fin
ancial way to do it.
The farmers Of Union county are
of the best type; they are thought
full, earnest, progressive; in them
the salvation of Union county lies
and Union county will not suffer
but through their united efforts the
county will go forward and make
for Itself record as the best in the
state.

AMERICAN LEGION PLAY
LIVELY AND ENTERTAINING
Presentation of "Springtime" to he
Brilliant Event of Exceptional
Merit.

A very brilliant presentation Of
"Springtime' is being looked for
ward to by Clayton society, for, with
the notable cast comprised of more
than fifty of their own members,
many attractive musical choruses
and dancing numbers are being
trained.
Principals in TINS musical comedy
include such local artists as Mes
danes Leah Gray, Lola Wiley, Her
bert J. Hammond, Jr., Elizabeth Ed
mondson, Florence Mooney, Bena
Reed, Harold Rives, Mary Caldwell,
Marie Myers and Jane Gray. These
are well supported by the splendid
acting of the MessTs. II. G. MCFad-
den, Geo. Hyde, Harold Rives, Ber-
nard Laudet, and Howard Woods.
One very interesting group has in
il the Mesdames T. H. .Rixey, f. II.
Clark, L. d. Boggs, G.. A. Rutledge,
b. A. Laudet, and Miss Ola Rutledge,
ably assisted by the Messrs. T. II.
Rixey, Henry Nachtrieb, L. ID. Boggs,
and C. r. Lewis. These are the we'd
ding guests of the 1853" period who
do wonderfully we'll in their parts.
Another very pretty group in this
same period is the Bridesmaids, who
do their parts with exceptional tai
ent and grace, played by The Misses
SaXChe Simms Virginia Thompson,
Dove Gentry, Verna Mae Messer,
Elsie Bristol, and Attina Roberts.
"Springtime" has been presented
throughout the states with marked
success. It tells the story of the
blighted romance of a young couple
of the COS which eliminates in the
reunion of their grandchildren of
the present generation. The time
involved in the play covers a period
Of more than fifty years.
Other attractive dancing groups in
"Springtime" are the French maids,
Society group, May Day guests, jury,
Futurists, and Rain Bow Trail.
1t is hoped that the presentation
of "Springtime" at the Mission The
atrc on Friday and Saturday nights
of May the twenty-sixth and twenty
seventh will be hailed by the resi-
dents of Clayton and the surround
ing country as the best event that
has ever taken place in the imme-
diate vicinity. The proceeds from
this play are TO go to the building
fund of the American Legion of
Clayton for the purpose of erecting
new and modern home for its
members.
The director, Mr.. II. J. Perkins, of
the John B. Rogers Producing Co. of
Ohio, expresses complete satisfac-
ton as to the way the cast is pro-
crossing in their parts, ard prom
ises n very finished production both
dramatically and musically.

DIAMOND DUST FROM Mt. DORA
Mt Dora Wins from GrenviIle; Pat
tersOn on Mound for Mt. Dora
Pitches League Ball.

The News is in receipt of the fol-
lowing account of a battle between
Mt. Dora and Grcnville, at Mt. Dora.
last Sunday:
Altho the score of Sundays game
at MI. Dora was rather large, 7 10 g,
the game was lively thruout, Mt.
Dora making three double plays and
Grenville Que. Time of game was
two hours.
In the first inning MI. Dora con-
ncctcd with MCDonald's hooks for a
total Of four runs. Grenville cuun-
tered in the second with one run
and then again in the fifth scored
five more. In their half Of the fifth
Mt Dora came back with four more
runs. Grcnville scored again in the
seventh, but could not cut Mt. D0ra's
lead and the game ended eight to
seven in Mt. DOra's favor.
Patterson, after pitching a hard
game Saturday, came back Sunday
putting them thru in league style,
cutting down 40 of Grenville's slug
gers at the bat and five others pop
ped Out 10 him. Only five hits were
registered off him, while a were
garnered off Mcdonald. With a lit
tie more experience Patterson will
reverse his defeats. His ability was
very ably explained by one Of the
Grenville buttons when h said, How
the diVh can / hit il when / cam
see it?"

GRAYS NOSED OUT TEXLINE;
GRENVILLE GETS NEXT SETTO

A lot of the baseball fans got the
opportunity to say Il told you SO"
for the game at Texline was the
closest and liveliest vet put on by
the local team. The Grays pulled
through on the heavy end of 3-2
score, but the game was in doubt
till the end.
Incidentally, the last strike on the
last TeXliner was the most exciting
and important of the day. Bah Boggs
was up, with two strikes, two men
on base and two men down. He hit
fly out back of first base and the
TeXline runners began travelling.
The jumps called it a foul, but the
Texline crowd thought it was fair
and swarmed on the field. The final
outcome was that, after about 20
minutes of delay, Bah was sent back
to bat, flied out to Lynch, and the
game was over.
The features, as we gathered them,
were furnished by Smoky Joe's
pitching, tn fans enthusiasm and
the Texline umpire's decisions. Be
fore we 90 further, however, we
should state that this arbiter was
not a Texline product but halls
from Dalhart. Some have told us
he is lawyer, while others say he
works in the railroad shops at Dal-
hart. Anyway, his vocation must
surely take all his time, for there
are many things about the national
game which seem terribly hazy 10
him.
Then about Smoky Joe's pitching:
This boy put up a brand of twirling
last Sunday that convinced every
body Including Texline) that he
is the goods. Seven errors helped
greatly 10 get Joe into a number OF
holes, but he unfailingly pulled out
He also earessed the horsehide for
single.
Next Sunday the Grays go 10 Gren-
vile. The oldtimer here knows thai
means a real game. To the newer
cittseR we can only say, Take ii in.

 WELL MERITED ROAST

Addressing a large and enthus- iastic audience in Juneau just prior to the election, Delegate Dan Suther- land flayed certain Republican officials who have proved unfaith- ful to the trust imposed upon them, paying particular attention to Judge T. M. Reed, United States Attorney Arthur c. Shoup, Edward c Nor rissey of Ketchikan, and the Ketch- ihan banking and cannery interests. He said the appointment of Mor- risey as commissioner at Ketehikan caused loss of public confidence in the courts so that there is no security for individual rights to life, liberty. property and the pursuit of happiness, the fundamental guaran- tee of the American constitution" "
 He also said that there are two officials in the First division in whom 1 am greatly disappointed in for the reason that 1 feel a large re- sponsibility for their appointment. 1 refer to Judge Reed and District Attorney Arthur Shoup, No young man in the world ever had a finer opportunity than Shoup when he entered office. It-was expected oi him that he would apply himself with diligence to tine work in his office and diligently to study the law in which 1 think 1 am safe ir saying he is somewhat deficient
 but he has seen fit since his induct. ion in office to enter the business of warwicking and proselyting Tn proselyting the case of Morrisses in Ketchikan is a case in point.
 "Morrissey was a political Ieecf on the Democratic organization o
Hyder Alaska miner., 1922-11-15

Fairbanks and his reputation in that section is not such as would warrant any official appointing him to this office of trust and honor"
 Sutherland went on to say that since editing the paper in Ketchi- kan the reputation of Morrissey had not been enhanced. He said Mor- rissey was transformed into sub sidized Republican by Reed and Shoup and that the subsidiZation consisted of subsidizing his news paper, bipartisan sheet, with the funds of the judiciary" The paper he declared, was in strengthened circumstances, at least MOrriSsey was, and the interests that control the paper had to have their interest paid" The interests of Ketchikan wanted their Sesvile tool ill the commissionership and they got it.
 The welfare of the Republican party and the success of President Harding's administration, as might be added to by 0 good administrat- ion of this division, did not appeal to Shoup and Judge Reed" he add ed. Their first allegiance was to the money interests, the Ketchikan interests that would exploit every sea toiler on the North Pacific, the same interests that canned decom' posed salmon for soldiers to eat 1T Flanders"
 He said that the commissionel at Ketchikan edits a paper that l; keen to exploit the public for the property ruling class and wher his paper is published he goes O. the bench and sits in equity ant I justice to adjudicate the troubles 0
 the exploited class"
 Sutherland also attacked the Ret
 chikan Commercial club for it's at titude on the transportation quest
 ion, and on the fisheries tariff legis lation.
