COMMUNITY BASE BALL

There is chance now to have the
entire community back of the base
ball for the summer. The members
of the team agree to play all games
on week days and as far as possible
to make the games in Liberal on
Wednesdays, so that it can be made
special day on the part of bust
ness. They also agree that they will
give us clean sport, free from gam
bling, and conducted in such a way
that ladies may at all times be well
come at the games. They ask that
the community back them by attend
ing the games and by buying season
tickets, thereby helping to finance
the games. The tickets will be good
for ten games and will sell for $3.50.
Children's tickets for $100. The
money will be placed in the bank and
held by a citizens committee COM
posed of members selected by the
churches and various civic clubs of
the town and paid to the ball team
as the games are played.
Next Tuesday afternoon a canvas
of the city for the sale of tickets will
be made. We believe this is move
in the right direction and should re-
ceive the hearty support of the peo-
pie. In this way we can have clean
sport and in such way that the en-
tire community can get back of it.
This plan has received the sanction
and support of the Ministerial asso-
ciation- and churches and is looked
upon favorably by the Rotary and
Lions Clubs. 1t is meeting with favor
in the minds of the business men.
We should like to urge that you buy
as many tickets as possible. Business
houses that have made cash dona-
lions in the past can finance it this
way and have the tickets for the use
of their patrons and employees.
Let's all get together and back the
team. 1t will do all good and the
community will profit by clean
amusement of this kind.

SIGN CONTRACTS
FOR FEDERAL AID
Guymon Herald says:

Guymon Herald says:
Through the services of County
Engineer W. A. Ingram, supported
by Commissioners o. G. Chatham
and Sam B. Hall, Texas county is to
secure Federal Aid for the building
of highways through Texas county.
This means that the Federal govern
with the tax payers of Texas county
Tnent will put up dollar for dollar
to build substantial highways for the
use of the citizens and the tourists
who travel this way. This was fin
ally arranged for by Messrs. Ingram
and Glatthaar while they were in Ok
lahoma City last week, and they
brought the contracts back with
them, which were signed and return
ed to the Highway Commission early
this week. This contract was accom-
panied by warrant for sixteen odd
thousand dollars, the amount now on
hand of state road funds. This means
that road work to the extent of thir-
ty-two thousand dollars will be con-
tracted by and executed under the
direction and inspection of the Fed
eral government in Texas county.
We understand that the first work is
to be done on the Atlantic Pacific,
or what is better known as the Right
of-Way Road, which parallels the
Rock Island tracks from northeast to
southwest, through the county, and
that the road between Guymon and
the Kansas state line will be given
the first attention.
The County Commissioners held an
adjourned session Saturday to con-
slider this proposition, and it was at
this meeting that the contract was
decided upon. For some reason Com
missioner Landess had a change of
heart after first favoring the Federal
aid project, for after comforting with
local political guides, he concluded
he would not sign the contract for
the Federal aid. 1t is safe to say
that he did not get such bum

of Hooker and Tyrone in his district

Story of the German Bishop Ex-
plains the "Est, Est, Est" on
the Bottles.

There is a story told of a Ger
man bishop in the Middle Ages who
travelled through Italy, stopping at
every inn to which he came in order
to sample the wine Of the country.
Whenever he found an exceptionally
good wine he gave his servant piece
of chalk from his pocket, and the
servant wrote the Latin word Est"
on the door of the inn, meaning TT
is good"
Finally the bishop came to Orvieto,
and was served with a bottle Of
Orvieto wine. When he had finished
ii he asked for another; and when he
had finished the second he called for
a third; and when he had finished the
third he took piece of chalk from his
pocket and went in person to the door
of the inn and wrote on it the words
"EstI Esti Estl'' which meant that
the wine of Orvieto was three times as
good as any other wine that he had
ever tasted. And from that day until
the day of his death he remained in
Orvieto and drank nothing but Orvieto
wine; and his tombstone may be seen
