LOCAL ring TOSSERS
TAKE SWEEPSTAKES

The Moscow horseshoe pitching
team which journeyed to Cotton, Wn.
Monday to participate in the four
team tournament held there in con.
nection with the Labor Day observ-
ances returned in the evening wreath
ed in smiles and wearing the victor S
laurels. They won over every team
they opposed. In all they made 12f
points to a possible &C for the op-
ponents.
The men comprising the team were:
L. e. Brooks, e. M. Curtis, Connie
Estes and H. Collins. Two substi-
tutes were taken. They were W. Rob-
bins and w. Smith. Six sets were
played by the local team members
The other towns participating in the
contest were Pullman, Uniontown,
and Johnson Cotton did not play.
After the game which began about
three p. m. the players were guests
at a delightful dinner given by the
town of Cotton.
Because of the lack of regulation
shoes the games were so arranged
that two members of each team play
ed as partners. By this method two
of the Moscow men played two of the
opposing men at one set of pegs and
two more played two of the same op-
posing town at another court.
Throughout the entire sets played
the Moscow team maintained such a
stride that no team could win set
against them. H. Collins and e. M
Curtis, and L. E. Brooks and Connie
Estes, played partners against part
ners in other teams.
Curtis and Collins were the won
ders of the day according to reports
from the game. Each one consist
emily shut out the opposing player
and piled up large scores by tossing
ringers. Brooks and Estes, owing to
a bad wind, did not appear so spec
tacular although they had no diff
Guilty in holding their opponents to a
small score
The Moscow team took its own
shoes ond pegs with it. The mem
bers not only played with their own
but set the pegs the proper
distance and position and spaded up
the courts in regulation manner oe-
fore beginning the sets.

HOROSCOPE.
FRIDAY. JANUARY 70. Io2z.

FRIDAY. JANUARY -. I022.
Venus dominates this day in
benefcent rule, according to. as
trology. Mars is adverse early in
the morning.
The sway is a most auspicious one
for love affairs in the sense. tina,
there will be strong trend toward
sentiment. -.....
There is sign read as indicating
a tendency to quarrel where couples
are engaged or married, but the
reconcilations will be swift.
Theaters should find this a lucky
day, making for large audiences
that are enthusiastic and easily
pleased.
Actresses are especially well di-
rected by the stars while this con-
figuration prevails.
AccOrdiSg to ancient lore this
should be an especially fortunate
day for all the projects of women
and should aid their. peculiarly
feminine interests, such as the buy
ing of clothing.
Heavy expenditures and even
great waste of public money are
rrosnosticated. This prophecy ap-
plies not only to the Federal gov
crRment but to many States.
One of the results of war condi-
tions is held by the seers to be a
desire for change and travel. For
this reason all methods of trans
portation will be more profitable.
There is a sign read as presaging
lower death rate this winter, but
many artists and actors will end
their careers.
Persons whose birthdate il -
have the augury of a happy and
pleasant year with success in en-
ployment. The young will cour,
and marry.
Children born on this day may be
rash and hasty. but gifted and af-
fectionate. Loyalty to friends is
foretold.

While Stubby and Button were
enjoying their dinner and picking
the bones. Billy was having an
equally good time. for he had
found another old friend OF Ions
standing. being no other than
Bettina, the little burro whom he
used TO travel with in the circus.
Billy was standing in a cow
yard talking to the Widow Brown
when he heard n loud heehaw,
heehaw! heehaw,
well, IL there isn't Bettina,"
exclaimed the Widow. You must
come and meet her. for she is
one OF my dearest friends. and I
know you will like her. for she
is so sweet and entertaining, hav-
ing travelled so much and had So
many wonderful experiences. Some
Of the most interesting things
happened To her when she was with
circus. And. by the way, these
things happened to her with a big

tired Of talking. In her eyes he

goat that ever breathed the breath
Of life and as handsome as a pic

Of him. and say, oh. could 1 only
meet him again and have a five
minute talk wth him. could die
happy"
What did you say her name
was. and how does she look?"
Her name is Bettina, and she
is the smallest burro for her age
anyone ever saw. She is not as
large as months-old calf.
Besides. she has the prettiest.
longest ears that ever grew on
any burro or donkey. I am sure.
