Plains and Canadian Highway” association which was held in that city Friday night. The pur pose of this highway is to get a direct road leading north and south from Canada to the Gulf, through Bristol, Sheridan Lake. Cheyenne Wellsi Burlington, Wray, Holyoke and Julesburg. Representatives from each of the above named towns wete in attendance and an organization was perfected to push the nation al highway. The trail will be marked with a suitable board with the letters "G. P. C.” mark ed thereon. The Lions Club of Burlington entertained these road builders, and all Bay that the Lions know how to look after their visitors. The liext meeting will be held at Wray, Colo., on July 15th. M. E. Church Notes The crops through the coUhtry are good. Young Peoples League at 7:30 p. m. Topic Follow the Leader. Preaching at 8:15 p. m. Make your decision for what is right, not expedient, and wash your mind clean of compromise. - The Wayside pulpit The morning sermon will be upon the Beauties of Christianity Evening'The Influence of Light. Welcome one and aii. We made a quick trip to see mother Konkel last week. She stems a little better, but is still very low and helpless. At the forum Sunday evening the matter of Sunday base ball was discussed. The churches are not in sympathy with the Sunday as it seems incon venient with Christian principles. However the churches are willing to support the game on a week day. This would bring harmony to seemingly opposing forces. The forum is a place for free speech, and everybody are wel come whether Jew, Catholic or Protestant; furthermore, any opinion is to be respected upon religious, political or community welfare. Eating The "L” Out Of Lincoln The subject of our discourse this week is "grasshoppers”. The pesky things are raising cain in the southwestern part of Lincoln county and the northern part of Crowley county. The army is heading to the northwest and is forty miles long and ten miles deep. In their advance the grasshoppers are destroying virtually all vegetalicn, according to Scott ' isner, county agent. he hoppers are advancing at the rate of one mile a day, the coun ty agent said. Agent Wisner received the first word of the new arrivals the latter part of last week and went to the section in the L Sat urday to combat against the pests By three o’clock Saturday an army of 200 men had declared warfare on the invaders. Three tons of bran, 300 pounds of ar senic, 120 dozens of oranges and 120 gullons cf syrup were dished out to the green devils Saturday and Sunday. The front iintMn this county extends over a length of 25 miles.—Lincoln Co. -Dem. Central Eastern Colorado Commissioners Ass’n Tuesday afternoon of this week the local Board of County Com missioners intet in conjunction with the Commissioners from Lincoln and Kit Carson counties for the purpose of perfecting an organization to he known as the Central Eastern Colorado Com missioners Association. On ac count of heavy rains the evening before, Kiowa county was not represented as it was impossible for them to reach here owing to the heavy roads. The meeting was harmonious in every detail and it was an easy matter for these gentlemen to get together on the proper sub jects for discussion and the as sociation was completed in short order. The object of this associ ation is for the purpose of better ing the working conditions of each of the counties by co-opera tion with one another and in our opinion is one of the best moves that could have been made. Mr. J. W. Shy. of this county was elected as chairman of the assoc iation while Mr. G. W. Huntlie, of the Kit Carson county Board was elected as secretary. ' At the noon hour the Cheyenne -county board entertained their visitors to luncheon at the Royal Cafe. Those who-Were present: Jas. L. Peyton, Carr Crossing; C. M. Emmerson. Hugo; F. C. Kane ga, Limon; I. D. Messenger, Stratton; R. R. Lucorc. Arriba; G. W. Huntlie, Flagler; C. J. Buchanan and Fred Hallett both of Burlington; Chas. F. MeffHy, Pueblo; H. C. Nelson, A. I. John son, V. H. Johnson, J. W. Shy, Walter Ramsay, E H. Akerly, C. A. Brakeman and the writer.

Cheyenne Wells now possesses an institution that in our mind has been a long time need in our town. It is in the form of an up to-date bakery in every respect where the house wives of our homes can go and purchase a) nice fat pie or a nice cake for lunch and not have to bother about building a big hot fire in their I ernes. This bakery will! in a short time have all their j machinery hitched up to the j electric currant and be “hie td■ turn out their work much easier. I Cheyenne Wells Takes Two Games Last Saturday morning the Sheridan Lake ball team came over and crossed bats with the locals that afternoon. The game was a mighty good one and the S. L boys tried hard to get away with the bacon, but at the end of the ninth inning the score re->d 10 to 8 in favor of Cheyenne Wells. On Sunday the Towner team was here and they too, had some thing tip their sleeve they wanted to deliver to our boys but when time was up our boys had suc ceeded in putting about four more men over the pan than the visitors, result G to 10 in favor of the locals. The Fourth of July game be tween Cheyenne Wells and Kit Carson had to be called off on account of the rain and will be played at some future date.
