touch down, were the out
standing features of the game.
Posse, the giant Tiger back,
receiving the ball from kick
off in the second quarter, raced
along the east side line 80
yards for Del Norte's first
score. His run was featured
by excellent interference on
the part of his teammates. Il
appeared from the sidelines as
tho most of the local squad
stood there with their teeth in
their mouth and flogged him
as he went by. However, it
was beautiful run and no
doubt eased the pain of defeat
for the toothless Tiger from
the city of the north.
In the fourth quarter, "Oz"
Crook, Monte's plucky little
field marshal, received one of
Posses spirals on the Spuds
25-yard line and ably assisted
by his team mates, worked his
way thru the entire Tiger
team for a touchdown. Rosy"
White, Monte's end, made the
last 20 yards of this run pos
sible by smearing one of his
former team mates as said F
7 NJ was about to nail the rae
ing Crook.
The score at the end of the
first half was IL to IL. Then
Monte gained one touchdown
in the third quarter and two
more in the last quarter.
Monte employed straight foot
ball during the last half and
the gray line made steady ad-
vances with short positive
gains. The final score was 80
for the Spuds and IL for the
Tigers.
The game was witnessed by
the largest crowd ever turing
out to football game on the
local grounds and both teams
were admirably supported by
cheering students and inter.
ested spectators.

The Monte Vista community

boys. The streets were gaily
decorated in the national
colors and . great many Of
the residences displayed flags.
In the forenoon the American
Legion and Troop A indulsed
in a competitive hunt which
was easily won by the Legion.
The wild game obtained in the
hunt formed the basis of .
banquet at the armory in the
evening which the Legion men
and troopers with their ladies
enjoyed very much. h
Following the patriotic
speaking 1T the armory, about
$500 o'clock = parade was
formed, headed by the Monte

glad to sign an armistice and

The local Spuds handed the
striped Kittens the worst drub-

years. The local line tore great
holes thru the Tiger defense
for Gonzales and Wright to

time and again, smashed thru

Pressat Farm Lean
Limits Big Opsratioas
In discussing the present
credit system Mr.. Moorhouse's
report shows that the Federal
Farm Loan System has served
very effectively In financing
small land farmers. Federal
land banks at present can loan
but $4,000 to one person.
"This limitation bars farmers
operating the most economical
farm units in the greatest food
producing areas in the United
States. The Federal Farm
Loan Act does not limit the
amount of the loan that can be
made by the joint land banks,
but the Federal Farm Loan
Board has imposed the limita-
tion Of $60.000.
''The Federal Farm Loan
system provides for loans on
farm land for . maximum
period Of forty years and for
the payment Of the loan on the
installment basis spread over
the entire loan period. The
initial stock Of the twelve Fed
sfal Land Banks was supplied
IN the irst instance by the
United States Government. but
has gradually been purchased
By the borrowers from the
banks until the amount Of
stock owned by the govern
ment u about one-eighth or

Rotary Club Doass

At the regular meeting of
the rotary club Monday night.
L. B. Wallace and L. B. Syl-
vester gave reports on the
called meeting at Denver last
week in honor of Ray Havens,
|presid ent of International
Rotary. Representatives from
all the rotary clubs of this dis.
trict attended the Denver
meeting and our local repres-
entatives returned with =
most interesting account Of
good things they heard and
an impressive regard for the
new president.
A large part Of Monday
evenings meeting was devot-
cd to an earnest discussion OF
the marketing conditions af-
fecting the farmers Of this
community. While It seems
that the commercial club has
done all in Its power to re-
lteve the situation. the rotary
club feels that there must be
no let-up in effort to get cars
and motive power to haul our
potatoes to market. To that
end. q committee was appoint
ed to use every available
means to reach the utilities
commission. the interstate
commission and the railroads.
As an instance Of what the
rotarians are doing. one Of the
members Of the local club en-.
gagged In retail business In
Monte Vista. wrote to every
jobber from whom his. COM
pany buys and after giving a
brief description Of what the
farmers Of this valley are up
against. asked the jobbsrs to
use their influence and help.

tions systsms are human and
constant appeals from many
different sources are bound to
have IN effect.

Strong Expectations
Of Oil At Hooper

The drilling at the Valley
Oil company's we'll at Hooper
reached a depth Sunday of
2O6O feet and all indications
point to striking an oil pool at
any time. A few days ago a
strong flow of artesian water
was struck which forced
water sixty feet above the
surface and there has been a
large quantity of gas constant
ly escaping. The experienced
drillers in charge of operations
at Hooper state that the for
nation is the same as that of
many proven oil fields and be-
eve it is only q question of
depth now before the oil is
encountered.
The company has deemed it
advisable to cancel all sub
scriptions for stock upon which
NO payment had been made
up to November 10th and they
have announced that only a
limited amount of stock will
be sold in order to provide
funds for operating expenses.
As an investment, the Valley
Oil company seems to offer
special inducement at this
time.
