Masonic Halls De-
stroyed; Masons
Threatened

Washington, Oct. 3l.-Promnent
members OF the Masonic Order in
Congress are shocked at reports
reaching this country from Ireland OF
wanton and purposeless attacks on
members of the Masonic Order, and
the destruction OF the property OF a
fraternity which never takes any part
in politics.
According to reports many Masonic
halls have been wantonly destroyed
in Ireland by those who choose to
read a religious intolerance into the
political truobles of that sore-dlStress-
ed country. The Masonic Hall at
Ballinamore has been destroyed. IN
Mulligar the Masonic Hall was rad
ed, its windows broken, its furniture
hacked with axes, after which oil was
poured over the wreckage, and the
| whole burned. In Dundalk, not tar
from Ulster frontier, three Masonic
lodges met in hall, which was raid
ed by armed men, who seized books
and other property. Shortly after
members of the order, whose name:
were obtained from the seized records
were ordered to leave on pain O
death. Many OF them escaped to Bel
fast; the meetings OF all three lodge
have been indefinitely suspended
Wordsworth Street Hall, Dublin, tn
meeting place of the Grand Lodge ant
headquarters OF the order in Ireland
has been occupied by the Irish Re
publican Army" which thus came II
possession OF the names OF all Ere
| Masons in Ireland. Shortly after thl
seizure the County Cork murders oc
CURED.
\ Mr.. Robert Mcbride, member 0
parliament, says Of these attacks
1.-The fact is that men in power in tn
south and west of Ireland hvae broke
with all religion, retaining it
prejudices and antipathies. 1t is tn
spirit Of. the French Revolution or {
Bolshevist Russia that is abroad.

The revival meeting which was in
progress at the Arcadia Baptist
church throughout last week. was
brought to successful close with the
evening service last Sunday, wheh
pastor J. c. Cox administered the
sacred rite of baptism to four new con-
yerts in very solemn and impressive
manner.
Pastor Cox, who conducted the
preaching and his son, Byron, VINO
directed the song service, and the
members of the choir are to be COM
mended for the zeal displayed through
ont the series of meetings, and IN ad-
dition to the several additions to the
church both by letter and by pro1es,,
sion of faith and baptism, much and
lasting good will result from the re-
vival.
A special feature OF the Sunday
| morning service was the reading by
| Brother Cox of a letter received by
him from the James Brlce Klan
Knights of the Ku Klux Khan, COM
mending him for his work, and en-,
closing a substantial gift, as material

Wins a Distinction

Ordway High football "Eleyen"
did not win 2 victory in the game
with La Junta last Saturday, hut
they won an honor and one worth
Growing over" The locals scored
on La Junta, the first team to make
score against the La Junta Tigers.
The locals. panther like hugged right
into their opponents and came out
with this honor. La Junta won the
game by a 21 to score.
In defeating the Ordway Panther
Eleven La Junta used the battling
"lock-step" shift plays originated by
Center college, and used with telling
effect by them against Harvard. The
Tigers showed themselves masters of
the new shift by scoring with a sixty
yard run on the third play of the
game. The line and back-field men
marched in loek-step formation to
the count of the quarter back, and
on signal, set and charged their on
pouents.
La Junta in this game. won the
Valley championship and will play
the Terrors of Colorado Springs
at La Junta Saturday.
With this ''lock-step" play and a
new method of attack they hope to
win over the Terrors.
Ordway's team has made wonder
full strides this season. In feet a
real contender for the championship
title was built up by Coach Utzinger.
He took the team couple of weeks
before school started in the fall and
put the members thru the sprouts
early and late and developed an
aggregation that has opened the eyes
of the towns around and prided by
the people of this community. The
team has won five out of seven games
and that is remarkable record for
team that is SO light, and it ranks
third in the Valley this season. La
Junta is first and Las Animas aecond.

Seed rices
Are Too Low

Seed growers in Otero county have
decided that they must have 25 cts
per pound for cucumber seeds.
At meeting in Rocky Ford few
days ago it was decided that they
could not grow these seeds for less
than 25 cents per pound. The aver
age yield for 1922, as stated was 135
pounds per acre. In past years it
sometimes reaches an average of 25O
pounds but it was considered doubtful
if such high average could ever
again be reached
A conservative estimate was made
on the cost of growing seeds and t.ia
labor expense alone will amount to
$25 per acre besides the use of the
land.
1t was stated that California will
probably not grow these seed on ac-
count of a certain serious disease
and Michigan finds that the revival
in beans furnishes them better
crop.
