FRANK BOGUT, AGE II
MISSING FROM HOME

Frank, 12-year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Leo L. Bogut of this city is
missing and his parents are deeply
concerned about him. He left home
April 30th and has not been heard
FROM Mr.. Bogut thinks that pos
sibly his son has gone out to some
farm in this vicinity, but fears that
he may have ridden out on a freight,
probably eastward. The sheriff has
been advised and requested to make
inquiries for the boy of other officials
along the line
Frank Bogut is about medium size
for his age, medium light hair and
blue eyes. Anyone who has knowl-
edge of his whereabouts or the direc-
tion in which he is travelling, will con-
fer a great favor on his parents by
communicating with them.
Frank is not a bad boy but the
wanderlust is strongly developed in
him and he has formed the habit of
occasionally staying away from home
for day or two, in spite of all his
parents could do to persuade him
from it.

$4,000 ACRES CORN
ROOSEVELT COUNTY
CORN ENROLMENT INDICATES
REPORT YOUR ACREAGE
TO co. AGENT

An acreage of 1,370 acres of corn
has already been enrolled in the
Roosevelt county corn campaign now
being conducted by the County Farm
Bureau and extension service to stim-
ulate interest in corn growing so far
as practicable.
This acreage is scattered very gen
orally all over the county and it is
believed that this represents about
one tenth of the corn acreage act
ually to be planted in the county this
year. The goal in the corn campaign
is to get farmers in the county to
plant 10000 acres which will aver
age about ten acres to every farmer
in the county.
Among the communities taking an
active lead in the contest are Mineral
Bench which already has about $50
acres represented; Froid and Balm
vile communities with nearly as much
together with Culbertson which also
has entered $50 acres.
1t is hoped that the farmers who are
going to plant corn will send in their
acreage to the county agent in order
that it may be recorded in the corn
acreage campaign.

Quoted that the first big asset Of the

commercial prestige is its logical To-
cation. Other large advantages are
grouped around location-good soil;
good water; native fuel; natural
roadways declining from the higher

assets, through the hardihood, cour-

was "Teeth" DIR. went back into
the ages and discussed how aborigin.
al man used his teeth. AS a result OF
such use mans teeth were like those
of fesh-eating animals. Today teeth
are becoming more of an ornament.

meet with a total score of 81 points

The best men were taken to Culbert-
son on Saturday of last week. We
have had but little track work here
but the showing this year has caused
us to plan track work as regular
part of our schedule next year. Those
who went to Culbertson were James
Cook, Fred Yandell, Sylvester Smith,
Mark Mason, Merle Nichol, Laurel
Walter, Herman Eggebrecht, Dean
Swanson, John Foster, Donald Ran

made good showing considering the
fact that they had been given little
practice.
In the 5O-yard dash Sylvester
Smith tied for third place. In the
second heat he defeated his opponent
In the 100-yard dash he was also
given third place although we are
willing to swear that he breasted the
tape first. Fred Yandell made a
great showing in the 220 when the
width of body shut him out of first
piaee and gave him second medal

lave hopes for him next year if he
develops as he has this spring. |

A VIRILE STORY OF
SUNNY CALIFORNIA
'The Pride of Palomar" Has Theme
OF Popular Interest

A virile story of California with a
powerful theme is "The Pride of Palo-
mar" cosmopolitan production from
Peter B. Kyne's noted novel of the
same name, which will be at the
Liberty theatre next Thursday-Fri-
day The leading rolls are portrayed
by Marjorie Daw and Forrest Stanley.
The story tells of the struggle of
a World war veteran against crush
ing interests in his native state, the
fight centering around the possession
of the family ranch, which he finds
on his return from overseas service,
has all but fallen into the hands of
the enemy. Making the story highly
dramatic is the fact that the father
of the girl whom the young man loves
heads the opposing interests.
There is also the great problem
for the girl to decide where she
ought to stand in the fight between
her father and her sweetheart. She
loves both, and her novel way of
meeting the situation is thrilling.
The picture has an all star cast
and has been well produced by Frank
Borzage.
