Thief Enters stalker Home

When Mr.. j. H. Stalker returned
to his home on Kennebec Saturday
evening to take his wife to the Chau-
tauqua grounds, he found that his
wife and the others of the family
had already gone. In the mean
time an unknown intruder had en-
tered, to all appearances to steal if
he found anything to his liking. AS
Mr.. Stalker was about to enter his
front door he saw in the dim light
the outlines of a man on the stairs.
He asked the man what he wanted
when the latter reached to his hip
pocket with movement indicating
he was about to draw a revolver.
Mr.. Stalker stepped back and he and
Mr.. McElfresh who had come up in
the machine with him, watched
the front and side entrances
when they found the visitor had
gone through the house and out the
back door. They chased him through
the field back of the house, but did
not come close enough before he
disappeared, to identify him.
Nothing of any value had been
taken from the house, but the in
truder had helped himself to some
eatables, and had begun to rummage
around in an upstairs bedroom, but
had not succeeded in doing much
when he was disturbed by Mr..
Staker's return.

Chief Agency of Humanity

I The provision just made by the
| rockefeller Foundation to cooper
ate with the League of Nations in
the promotion of health work is
further recognition of the function
| ing association as the chief world
agency of humanity 1t recalls that
eminent Americans as individuals
cooperated in the construction of the
international court of justice under
the League and that one of them,
John Bassett Moore, is a member of
! its bench.
Many other Americans as indi-
v1duaIS have encouraged the League
IN its different activities for human
lty-the prevention of war and the
binding up of wounds of the world
struggle. AS further reminder
that practically everybody today
recognizes that the functioning asso-
citation of nations has come to stay,
holding up as the most constructive
work of peace while a number of
conferences outside it are failing,
the Rockefeller Foundation has
provided for work to be carried on
by the League for several years. 1t
places at the disposal of the asso-
| citation for five years $4,000 per
annum for the gathering of infor-
nation on public health and 100000
yearly for three years for an ex-
change of health experts between
different countries.
The Harding administration in its
attitude of ignoring the existence of
the functioning league of more than
so nations is simply making itself
look small and putting this Chris
tlan nation in an awkward position
as being practically the only coun-
try on the globe that will not speak
to the association that is striving to
promote peace on earth.-Greenville

Bunched hits in two innings
coupled with errors by the local
team gave Philo the decision in the
second game of the season between
these teams, and caused the Rocky
Glens to lose their first game in four
weeks. AS has been their habit
lately, the home team took good
lead in the early innings while the
visitors staged an eighth inning raj
ly by punching hits and taking adj
them in the lead.

Notes
Sunday seemed to be decidedly
off day in fielding for the local team,
more errors being made than in all
the four previous games.
Savage, with three hits, three
runs and stolen base, had a big
day on the offensive. His error in
the first inning was his oniy one of
the season.
The one big need of the local
team right now seems to be a re-
serve pitcher who can go in the box
in the seventh or eighth inning and
hold the opposition.
The team should be much strong
er from now on, as the return of
the boys from camp will put two of
the regulars back in the line up and
enable a shift of positions that will
help lot.
Thomas will be here for the next
game again and will probably play
for the balance of the season.
The Guernsey Valley All Stars for
next Sunday promises another good
game for the fans. Rathbourne will
probably be in the box for the Rocky
Glens.-XX.

erything considered it was very
fine affair, and in keeping with the
spirit of the occasion.

been struck, and steam escaping
from the creamery engine through

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
STATE ORGANIZE FOR 1922

DIR. George Sullivan returned Fri
day from Denver, where with Commits
sioners Whalen and Knowles he at
tended meetings Of the state county
commissioners and put in a lot Of
good licks for this county at meetings;
of the State Highway Commission.
Three more Liberty trucks for use
in patrolling and surfacing the state
roads, were secured and will be sent
over as soon as practicable. These
are brand new government trucks and
the county only has to pay the freight
fro mthe east.
Mr.. Sullivan states that he consid-.
ers the road lineup very good and be-
lieves Gunnison county will get its
full share Of equipment and Of state
and federal road funds during 1922.

position of secretary-treasurer of the

years ago, was reelected to fill the

CITY TO HAVE PARKiAND CAMP
GROUND At ONCE THROUGH
AMERICAN LEGION POST

prepared to pay the first installmen.
on the property and leave some funds
over for improvements this year. A
fund Of something under $500. which
was raised in 1919 for q Soldiers
Memorial. will be available for this
purpose. and with the Legion funds
already raised will make q nest eRg
Of $500 or $500 10 start with. In ad-
dition to this, members Of the local
Post unanimously declared their will
ingness to put in from one to several,
days work on the property, and rs
several have teams at their disposal,
this will be quite an item. DIR. John
son, who has made an extensive study
Of landscape gardening, has offered
his services in laying out the park.
The city council was approached
with this plan some weeks ago and
signified their hearty approval. They
agreed to appropriate $500 the first
year for Improvements, and to take
over the annual payments and the up
keep in succeeding years. Trees were
planted many years ago and are be-
ginning to grow well.
II is thought that many of the
societies and lodges of Gunnison will
be glad to donate S25 or more apiece
and perhaps some individual labor to-
ward the realization of this project,
which has already been given such q
healthy and solid start by the Legion.
The sale Of the two blocks will have
to be sanctioned by the voters at the
spring election, but il is felt that no
possible opposition to the plan could
be brought forth.
II Is proposed that one block be
laid out as a free camp ground, upon
which the major part of this years
funds and efforts would be expended.
The camping ground would be supplied
with city water, more shade trees
would be planted, and cobbled fire.
places built, with provision for an
adequate supply of wood. A shelter,
toilet and rest rooms would be provid-
ed in the center Of the ground and
provision made for the upkeep and
policing Of the ground.
The second block is to be converted
into a city park, to be improved from
time to time as circumstances may
permit. Eventually central monu-
ment of some sort. commemorative of
Gunnison county's boys in the World
War, is to be erected in the center of
the park. This year it is hoped to
get the plot cleared and seeded, and
set out more trees in accordance with
such plans as may be adopted by the
organizations concerned.
A preliminary survey seems to in
dictate that the town is in excellent
shape for this project, thru its many
organizations. and with the American
Legion leading of according 10 its
announcement, complete success for
the proposition Is assured.

Iheld goals from the center Of the
hoer. The Montrose guarylA were en-.
tirely capable, both in offensive and
defensive work. Wachter netted two
field goals the first half.
The first half ended with the score
21-15 in favor Of the visitors, but
early In the second half the Cowboys
dipped up on Montrose before they
