LIBBY FANS SEE
BEST GAME OF SEASON

That disputed question as to which
of the two Libby ball teams is the
better one was settled Sunday TO the
satisfaction of at least one of the teams,
when the Independents won a one
score victory over the Town Team in
what was undoubtedly the best game
of the season on the local diamond.
The battle was close up to about
the fourth inning when Brown, who
was pitching for the Town Team,
weakened and let the Independents
get a lead of 8 to 5. Roberts then
stepped into the box and held the In
dependents scoreless up to the last
inning while the Town Team was
slowly crawling up, making some Of
these scores when Patt weakened and
was succeeded by Elmer WOLF in the
pitchers box The score was tied in
the first half of the ninth inning, 8-8.
Then with the Independents to bat in
the last half of the ninth. and with
one man out, Elmer WOLF knocked out
two base hit. stole to third and then
scored on Mortensen's safe drive into
field, winning the game.

Pioneer Society
Enjoys Picnic
Continued from page u

ulated on their presentation of this his
torical play.
Then came a pageant prefaced by
the reading by Mrs. Ratekin of poem
written by her to the first known
white woman to enter the Libby dis
trict. Mrs. Paulina Elizabeth Fields She
came in 1889, 43 years ago, on horse
back through the almost trackless for
est over what is known as the Buffalo
Bill trail.
As Mrs. Ratekin's reading came 10 n
close a. hush fell on the group, the
tramping of hoofs and there appeared
out of the distance pack train A stall
wart guide picking the best footing for
the horses that followed. Next was 4
lady riding on side saddle, then an
other rider and several pack horses
This depicted that event of SO long ago
when Mrs. Fields with her husband
and several others entered the Libby
country. The young actors in the
pageant were Viona Brown, Allan
Boothman and Stanley Reedy, and they
made very good pioneers
Then came the picnic feature when
long tables were spread with white
tableclothes, decorated with gay flow
ers, and loaded down with such good
things to eat as only old timers know
how to dispose of.
The prizes offered by the society
were won by Mrs. Eliza Blackwell,
n, daughter of Mrs. Fields and the
oldest pioneer woman present.
George Mckay, SO, the oldest pioneer
present, though j. j. Norgard was a
close second being only II days young
er than George. Mrs. Elaa Blew came
to Libby AZ years ago and Bill Hills
was here in 1886 When called upon
for a speech he told an interesting
story of his first winter in Libby.
It was a strenuous undertaking to
put on this splendid entertainment and
we pioneers are indeed fortunate in
having such talented people as Mr.
Ratekin, MISS Inez Ratekin, Mrs. Dwi-
nellie, Viona Brown, Mrs Archie Hoff-
man, Mrs. Herbst and many others to
work so untiringly for our entertain
ment especially at this hot season of
the year. Too much praise can not be
given those who helped SO willingly
TO work out the idea set forth in Mrs
Ratekin's poems and to the table com
mittee for their management for the
comfort of all
Following are Mrs. Ratekin's origina
poems:

common respiratory infections (Which

all that the eel word "cold' can pos

acknowledgment that your trouble,
whichever specific respiratory infec-

ably infectious in character, and
hence all your friends and associates
may avoid catching it from you, if
you are that species of animal that

The 10th Amendment

When you speak OF amending the
constitution, this summer and fall,
most of your hearers will take it for
granted that you are talking about
the prohibition law. But it is worth
remembering that another amend
ment to the constitution is now pend
ing, and it is an amendment that
deserves to pass in jig time.
This is the goth amendment-the
lame duck" amendment, as it is
called-which would set forward the
Inauguration of a newly elected presi-
dent to the first week in January
and abolish those congressional ses-
sions in which politicians who have
already been rejected at the polls to
make laws for the nation.
Already more than half dozen
states have ratified this amendment,
and the rest should do SO before an
other year has passed. Legislators
must be reminded that the amend
ment is badly needed, even though
public attention may be focused on
more spectacular issues.

The Pioneer Period Ends

He would be stolid indeed who fall
ed to get an emotional jar out of the
news that for the first time in history
more people are leaving America than
are arriving.
The answer, Of course, is obvious
hard times. The land of promise
doesn't CLEAN quite as brightly as it
used to, and as a result the number of
immigrants to the United States is
only about one-third the number of
emigrants.
This condition, beyond any doubt,
is only temporary. Yet it does bring
to full stop one of the most amazing
movements Of people in the story Of
mankind-the movement that began
before the 18th century was over and
that ended just the other day.
Even though we have seen and read
about this movement since we were
children, we don't always appreciate
its magnitude.
Consider the bare facts. At the
time Washington began his first term
as president, what is now the United
States contained perhaps five million
people-counting all the Indians, the
Spanish and French at New Orleans
and the Spanish and MeXicans in the
southwest and along the west coast.
Today it contains upwards of l20,-
100000. In less than century and a
half an almost empty continent has
been filled up-filled up so thoroughly
indeed, that now there is no room in
it for ambitious immigrants from
beyond the seas. The worlds most
dazzling era of expansion is over at
last. The last moments Of the pioneer
period are finished.
In the next few decades this change
is going to have profound effects on
every aspect of national life. The
days of easy money, boom times,
ever-new opportunities are done for.
Life is going to be less fluid, class
lines are going to harden, the path
from the log cabin to the great man
sion is going to become little more
difficult to travel
But those are things for the econ
omist, the sociologist and the histor-
ian to discuss. At the moment We
can get only the emotional side of it.
A period in history has come to a
close. The people OF the United
States are beginning new day.
