Ldnd Occupants Will
Vote To Determine
ACCESSIBILITY of Pldn

A hearing to determine the
advisability of organizing a soil
conservation district in Big
Horn county will be held Tues
day, May %, at 2 p. m. in the
community room Of the court
house, it was announced this
week by George w. GustafSon.
The purpose of a soil conSer-
walton district, it was explained,
is to make possible a cooperat-
i've, unified and planned effort
upon the local soil and moisture
conservation problems. "A dis
trict can cooperate with federal,
state and local agencies in the
Improvement and development
of agricultural resources. For
instance, it was pointed out, a
supervisor of a district may pet
ition the secretary of agricul-
ure, and he is empowered thru
the soil conservation service to
provide engineering and other
technical advice without charge
to the district.
Districts now operating in the
state of Montana have made
arrangements whereby some
machinery and equipment has
been made available on a loan
basis. Problems of leveling, i'm
provement of irrigation bitches
and !aterals, drainage, weed
control and others may be under
taken by the conservation DIS
trlct, it was stated.
On the basis of the hearing
to be held here, the state COM
m1ttee will either abandon the
plan or hold an election at
which everyone owning or on
Grating land within the prop
osed district may vote. Should
such an election be held. IS per
cent OF those voting must cast
a ballot in favor of the prop
osltlon before a district can be
formed.
All land occupants NAV at
tend this meeting and vote q
or against the organization Of
such a district. Land occupants
are defined as those in posess-
ION OF land whether owner. ten
ent, renter or otherwise. This
allows anyone owning or renting
land IN the district to vote re-
CARELESS of the fact that he does,
not live on the land.
The district program, when
organized, and the work done in
the district will be under the
control of the people living in
the area. Local officials will ad-
minister all affairs of any dis
trlct organized, it was stated.

BY WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK, Aug. 15-(REWe
note with interest that Scrappy
Moore, manager of the Chattanoo.
ga Lookouts of the Southern asso-
citation, recently attended a foot
ball clinic at Atlanta in prepare
ton for his fall duties as football
coach at the University of Chat
tanooga.
We are just waiting the day when
MIR. Moore, his mind cluttered up
with the strategy Of two sports,
orders a pitcher to punt when he
gets in a hole or left end to take
two and hit to right.
This two-fisted coaching does
have it's problems, particularly if
the gent is coaching both sports at
once. When Knute Rockne was
doubling in brass at Notre Dame
by coaching spring football and
track simultaneously he lined up
his runners for sprint one day,
meanwhile keeping a watchful eye
on the gridders nearby. The track
men were a little confused when
they heard the orders:
"On your marks, get set-hey,
that's no way to catch a pass!"
Anyway, Mr.. Moore's dual role
brings up the idea there have been
few major league baseball mana
gers who doubled as coaches in
another major sport. In fact, the
only one we can think of offhand
is Hugo Bezdek, who piloted the
Pittsburgh Pirates back in TT and

When Solicitor j. N. McNor-
tom called for IRA Jones" to
come whiting the rail at Re-
corder's court yesterday two
men appeared.
One, Negro, accused in
three warrants Of assault on
his wife and daughter, was
wanted. The other Ira, a white
man, an innocent spectator who
dutifully answered when he
heard his name, was imrne-
diately discharged.
Ira Jones, Negro, charged
with beating and chasing his
wife, Arabella, and of virtually
the same crime against his
daughter Elizabeth, was subse-
quently ordered to pay the cost
of court, to suffer 10 days in
prison in default of payment.
Arabella admitted that h e
assault was minor.
"Did he do. what you said he
did in the warrant" Judge H.
Winfield Smith asked the ac-
cuser?
well, "Arabella candidly
drawled, "some of it he done
and some of it he didn't"

ALL-STARS TAKE
SUGGEST, Is TO |

The shipyard All-Stars met a
nine from the Florence Air Base
last night and won farce by a
score of 1911.
The visiting nine was not the
team which was scheduled to play
and did not have a single man
with them who played when the
Air Base appeared here before.
The game became a Joke" in
the first inning when the All-Stars
scored five runs on one hit. In
the second they scored three while
getting but one safety. In the next
frame they added another hit and
two more runs. In the fourth it
was no hits and one run and in
the fifth they matted one hit and
two runs. Only in the sixth did
they 60 scoreless.
For the visitors the story was
just the opposite. They didn't get
a hit until the fifth and three
strikeouts made that worthless.
In the seventh the All-Stars de-
cided to have bit of fun. Nitro
Gibson was sent to the mound and
a lad named Heath, who usually
chases balls. took over the CATCH
er's duties. Heath went to bat in
the sixth instead of Taylor and
reached first on a fielder's choice.
Gibson, who followed Cheshue
and Edens on the mound, gave up
one hit and two walks and allowed
the visiting conglomeration to
score it sonly tally.
