Prize Hunters From
Journal Office Bring
Home the Bacon

With election coming on the
Monte Vista Journal crew craved
wild meat so with the kind permis-
sion OF the game department We
outfitted Clark Page with a beaney
25-2O-and a sack of salt and
sent him forth into the woods to
reconnoiter. Then follows Jim Cum
Minis with the old mans regular gun
When the first peep of day of the
open season strikes the rocky ridges
up Pinos creek Always these two
gents are miles away from the camp
where they bedded down, with their
eyes pealed for movements in the
timber that would betray the pres
ence of wild animal. With the
sagacity born OF long experience in
the printing office, Page maneuvers
along the wooded slope and soon
jumps deer from its hiding place.
Picking out vulnerable spot be-
hind the ear. Page fires and is re-
warded by seeing that his aim was
perfect and that the quarry has fall
len. The deer was fine specimen
and had four points on its horns.
Page returned to town and display
ed the proof OF his prowess.
But how fares 1t with our other
hunter? Failing to find a deer.
Cummins becomes savage In his de-
sires and hearing an S. o. s. signal
from Lester higgins in the distance
rushes to the scene and is confront
ed by cross old she-bear with her
cub. Cummins starts in right now
to clean up on the bears and after
the smoke has cleared away from
the first round OF the heavy artil-
lery. he finds that the old bear has
been badly wounded and left for
parts unknown. The little bear has
climbed tree and our doughty
hunter soon dispatches II with 4
well placed bullet.
II was later In the day that two
Mexicaus overlook the old bear and
killed her.
Yes, We have had plenty OF Wild
meat for one week.

YEAR
The Truth About Amendment
No. |, Tax-Creating Measure,
Brought Out at Men S Luncheon

Horace ]. Wubben, principal OF
our local high school, ably presided
at the Business Mems Luncheon held
Monday at the Home Cafe. Mr..
Wubben himself gave very inter-
esting review of the changes during
the last few years in athletics in
educational institutions. the changes
including those in the games them
selves, in the players, in the equip
ment used, the coaching and the
community support and pride in the
various activities.
Jerry lgo, the popular coach of
Rio Grande County High School told
the men what the players and mem
bers OF the High School Athletic
Association are trying to do this
year and also what these people ex-
pect OF the community at large. He
made 1t very clear that every one
derives some benefit from the ad
vertising the teams give the town
and in that way II no other they
are worthy the support they should
have at the remainder OF the games
of football to be played at home
this fall He also mentioned the
fact that of all the scheduled games
to be played. only one will be away
from Monte Vista.
H. II. Van Fleet, city superinten-
dent OF schools. gave a perfectly
non partisan and fair explanation of
Amendment One to be brought be-
fore the people in the coming cleo
tion. Based upon actual experiences
in the State of Kansas and know
ledge as possessed by one who knew
what he was talking about. he de-
clared that the proposition a. II
stands would mean an outlay OF

an enormous expense In upkeep and

"While it is urged by the business
interest that the State Constabulary

to enforce injunctions granted by the

Olander felt certain that this mat

be made to fight this strike breaking
scheme.

Olander also made it certain that an
effort would be made to keep the Ku

convention.
This is purely a religious issue"
declared olander, claiming that only
the enemies of the labor movement
were trying to press this issue.
Efforts have been made by the Khan
forces to get control of the miners
unions in the state, with the result
that the rank and file in many unions

Superintendent William McAndrew
has followed up his denunciation of
the organized teachers of Chicago
with announcements which amount in
substance to a declaration that a
thoro "Americanization" of the
schools is to be put thru this winter.
No propaganda or other drives
which do not bear the stamp of ap-
prevail of the group of business men
which forms the school board, are to
reach the children of Chicago this
year, according to statement issued
by Mr.. McAndrew yesterday. Eight
movements have his approval. The
Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, and the
Campfire Girls will be given adequate
opportunity to spread the ideas of
the American Legion in the schools.
The Red Cross, auxiliary American
war organization, will receive its mea-
sure of attention. Washington's birth
day will be fittingly celebrated.
One other participation will be cele-

slavery. Foster said, is responsible for
low wages, unemployment and war.
'LaFollettei snot even the yellowest
kind of socialist" Foster declared.
Let me make prophecy. Before
this campaign is over, pressure will
be brought to bear on LaFollette and
he will denounce even the socialists.
Unemployment is the natural re-
suit of the wages system. Millions of
workers have unemployment to con-
tend with. You miners have had a
pretty good taste of unemployment.
Between two and three millions are at
present jobless in this country, and
the industrial crisis will grow much
worse this winter when the summer
agricultural and outdoor work ends"
Mobilization Day For War.
Foster declared the world war was
not war to make the world safe for
democracy but was struggle against
other capitalist nations for the world
markets. September IL we are to
have a national mobilization day. We
are told that it is for the purpose of
honoring General Pershing. That may
bunk some Of the workers, but the
capitalist nations know this reason is
nonsense. They know there is but
one purpose for mobilization day, and
that is preparation for war. Japan,
England and other nations will spur
on their ornaments under the stimu-
lus of American mobilization day"
Duncan Macdonald Freeman
Thompson and other well known labor
leaders were interested spectators,
