the knowledge and gift of Rev.
Pope to come and hold services
for weeks among them, and we
are sure should he again decide
to return to Roy to hold a series
of meetings it would be necessa

"tabernacle to take care of the
Marge crowds which would be in
attendance.
On the closing evening those

COUNTY SEAT NEWS
Mrs W. R. Copien is enjoying
a visit from her father, a resi
dant of Mora,- ;
Mr W.P. Mealey, Jr: left Tue
sday on a business trip to Den
ver, Colorado.
Mosquero was a very quiet pla
co this Fourth of July. The grea
t or part of our citizens went to
I .osebud to celebrate and those
that didn't go to Rosebud cele
L ration attended the baseball
tame at Tucumcari .
Sheriff Thomas, who accompa
nied by his family is visiting re
latives at the W.P. Mealey ho
me in Mosquero the later part of
last week, returning to Trinidad
this week where he will be can
didate for state commander of
the Spanish War Veterans. Mr.
Thomas is sheriff of Pueblo Co
unty, Colorado and reports every
thing as being quiet at Pueblo
."..id no noticeable results from
the strike at the big steel mills .
Yes, we attended the big cele
I ration at Rosebud, and it was
LOME celebration too. People
1 oured in from all parts of the
country until the little town was
1 terally overflowing. Arrange
ments had been made, for feed
i lg the people, plenty of good ba
lbecued meats on hand and sta
nds where all kinds of short or
ders could be had at a nominal
trice, he committee naa aaver
.advertised and a ball game bet
ween the winner and the Nara
Visa 'team for the second day..
A number of the Mosquero pla
yers'weré sick áhd unable to ma
ke the trip with the. result that
the prtígrm was change! and
the Amistad team proceeded to
clean up on the Nara Visa boys
on the first day ancTthere being
considerable doubt in the minds
lof the Nara Visa rooters about
their ability to repeat the per
formance, they measured -bats
with them again on the second
day and encored their previous
performance to the tune of 11 to
celebration with excitinar soorts
it through in such a handsome
manner.
Local showers have continued
j during the last week with the re
sult that summer crops are be
, ginning to take on a very promis
ing look and the prospect of a
bumper crop becomes brighter
every day. Farmers are kept
busy rushing over the fields wi
th cushions to be placed under
the pumpkins and melons to keep
them from being dragged to dea
th by the rapidly growing vines
and the housewives are busy
from morn till night preparing
the young chickens for the fry
ing pan. That there is some har
vest in Harding County was evi
dence by the announcement at
the Rosebud celebration that a
number of hands were desired by
the farmers for the harvest
field and that the farmers were
prepared to take any prospecti
ve hands home with them for
the harvest.
Harding County is to have an
agricultural agent and he is ex
pected to arrive within a few
days. Mr Strong, at one time of
Ocate, Mora County, and recen
tly county agricultural agent of
Torrence County, has been ap
pointed to the position and will
commence his work immediately.
He comes strongly reccomended
as a competent, educated, hustl
ing agricultural gent and we
doubt very much that if left to
the vote of the people of the
county a more competent man
for this part of the state could
have been found. . i
Probate Court is in session
this week, but reports rather a
light docket and but little mattér
of general importance to comé
before it at this session. The re
gular meeting of the county com
missioners , which should have
net Monday was postponed until 1
the tenth of the month Oh ac
count of the. Fourth of .July ce
lebrations .in' the .different parts
of the counties.
Mrs J.B. Duva l, accompanied
by her son, Paul and Harry Kin
gsbury and wife, left for an ex
tended automobile trip through
the Northwestern part of this
state, Colorado and Utah where
they will spend their summer
vacation sight-séeing and rusti
cating in the mountains .
. The new building commenced
byR.L. Keller on east Main
street, is now neáring comple
tion and wiV be occupied by the
meat market.' The Durrin busi
ness building is also nearing com
pletion while the residence hou
ses of Mrs G. Gallegos and R.
Lopez will soon be ready for the
roofs. Building activities still
continue in the county seat and
from all appearances seems to
scarcly have commenced as yet.
The old statement- that the
"World do move" has been chan
gd locally to a confident state
ment that "Mosquero-db grow."
Mrs Belle Morford, of Black
Lake, is enjoying a visit from
her daughters from Amarillo,
Texas, who announce that they
have come with the intention of
taking their mother back to Te
xas with them for a 'visit. I:Trr
Morford states that sho i" '.-'decided
as to whether she will ma
ke the visit or not but is being
sorely teinpted by the persuasión
of her daughters and we ventu
re to predict that she will yield
in a short time.
(Contiued from pajee one
scores to the Tucumcari team
However he immeciaMy tigh
tened up and pitched real ball
for the remainder of the game
and Tucumcari never was able to
score again.
Roy has lost two games this
season out of 12, which is. surely
an enviable record, and the boys
know they cannot win all games,
hence "they figure1 that a defeat
was due them Tuesday and they
got it. Out. side of 'the - last.halt
of the fourth inning the game
was a 'dandy and if it could have
beeV eliminated thé whole story
could have been different. . ,
One of the noticeable features
of the game Tuesdayr. was the
fairness of umpires Sehultz. arid.
Ricksey.' :Not a single decision of
either umpire was' disputed and j
we aoubtu two stronger umpi-i
res could be secured anywhere . ;i
Those who went to Tucumcari;
all report that they were treated
royally by the people of that pla
ce. The excursion train was held
until 10 P.M. so that all who
wished could attend the, picture
show and other amusements j ,
