tempt to get cars In the valley.
On account OF the extreme wealth

subjected to in crossing the noun

Refrigerator cars are necessary to
ship potatoes this time OF year.
II. d. kooser, In u recent tele-
by the Commercial club. says that
when the cars have to be routed
over eastern lines, these railroads
take their time In returning the
cars. Mr.. kooser sent copy of
the telegram which he had sent to

must have more refrigerator cars
to save the potato crop AS many OF
the potatoes are stored in made
Quate places to withstand the severe
climatic conditions. He also refer

secure cars.

was a hard game on Walsenburg.
Our fellows drilled the line, circled
the ends and made scores as they
always do. II seemed as tho every
time Gray went thru the line ho
knocked somebody out. Stoddard
took great pleasure in spiking In
mud puddle and giving someone
a free bath. A number OF passes
were completed. one giving Us .
touchdown. Walsenburg had ono
pass formation that WAS very effec-
tive. but We got onto 1t, and then II
went "flooey." They deserve much
credit for the way they battled us
and took their punishment.
This game is another feather In
our hat. after the way We held Gun
nison. especially in the second half.
The Walsenburg team held Centen-
nial one OF the strongest teams In
the state to twenty-one. Theoretical

In the first quarter We walked

had scored first thing. They
frightened up and It was . hard.
fierce battle. The second quarter
we got them down At their goal.
and scored - safety two moro
points. Phye had been playing
Batchelder's tackle but then Std
went In and began playing his usual
good game. Jones also played aI
fine game. With the exception OF
the safety this quarter was score
less.
Wright took his regular position |
at left half for the second half. and
played his usual fine game. The
first score was made when Stod-
dard got down the field for . touch
down on 4 fake. Il seemed a. tho he
would he tackled but he got thru
and made another score for us.
Then Crooks kept up. the good work
by making another on . pass. Leo
decided that he wouldn't he left out
and made the third for that quart

SEATTLE, Wash, May 31.-Capt.
Roald Amundsen. who starts on
his polar expedition Saturday, has
announced that one of the primary
objects OF the trip into the arctic
is a search for the great undiscov-
cred continent Of the north. sup
posed to lie somewhere in the vast
unexplored region surrounding
the north pole.
'The theory that there is a large
continent near. the pole" Capt.
Amundsen said, was first ad-
vanced by the late Prof. Harris Of
Washington. D. c. He came to his
conclusion from close study Of
-oceanography. Our expedition will
attempt to establish whether the
continent is there"

Should the veteran die before the
bank loan matured or six months
thereafter the government would pay
to his beneficiary the face value, of
the adjusted service certificate less

loan.
Direct Loans Later.
After January /. 1926. the govern
ment would make loans directly to
the veterans in the following
amounts:

Scheme for Payments.
Payments of the loans to the gov
ernment by the veterans would be
upon an amortization.
Should a veteran fail to make any
payment when due the Secretary of
the Treasury at any time prior to
the maturity Of the certificate would
cancel the note and restore the GER
tiflcate to the veteran upon receipt
from him of the total amount due
thereon, principal and interest to-
gether, with interest at Az per cent
per annum compounded annually upon
all payments that were in arrears.
If a veteran failed to redeem his GER
tificate before the maturity of the
same the certificate would be can
celed.
Under the House plan IL the veteran
failed to make payments to the gov
ernment for a period of one year the
certificate would have been cancelled
and he would have been paid so per
cent of the difference between what
he borrowed and the maximum which
he was authorized to borrow.
