MT. DORA ROMPS OVER

j With this situation firmly
. Mt. Dora has a good team and established, the G.O.P. propa
sóme of the best sluggers that bly figured' that it would be easy
we have witnessed . , this year. , to split the opposition wide open
Their pitcher was in excellent j by telling the world that some

when he came near being knock-
ed out of the box.
A large number of rooters ac
companied the team ta Roy ar
riving about 12 o'clock ; they re
port good roads' most of the way
and especially on the new Clayton-Springer
highway. -
The Roy team had to play se
veral new players on account of
some of the regulars being un
able to be at, the game, altho Flo
ersheim, one of the new players
who held first did fine work and
played almost perfect ball . What
the Roy team needs is practice
and then more practice. A team
can't work all. week and not pra
ctice a single time thru the
week and then on Sunday don
their uniform and expect to play
good ball. It is up to the busi
ness men to let those who are on
the team off at 5 o'clock each eve
ning and then make them get
out and practice for everyone
knows that practice makes per -
feet.
The Roy team altho defeated
twice by the Mt. Dora team ha
ve challenged them for a double
header to be played at Roy next
Sunday and Monday afternoons
and the Roy boys intend to win
these two games if in their po
wer to do so. The team will be
strengthened in several places
and the public can expect to see
two good games on these dates.
Don't forget next Sunday and
Monday, Roy vs Mt. Dora on the
Roy Diamond. Games called at
2.30 P.M.

headquarters dunng last week.

the throes of virtuous denouncia
tion of any procedure smacking
of. a "trade", at the same time
unshackling itself of the hampe-
ring bonds of accuracy, gave De-
me by which Ponzi enriched
himself.
The unconscious humor of the
situation, too, is emphasized by
the frank statement of Chairman
Phillips that conferences were
held .by him with the view of
trying to effect a reconciliation
between Independents and estar
Wished Republicanism . He gives
as the reason for this result not
being obtained that the Indepen
dents wanted concessions beyond
his power. Then he tries to vest
the chairman of the opposition
party with that power and a wil-
lingness to exercise it
But then, somethinf really had
to be done to keep that prison
probe from occupying too much
of the public's attention, with se
veral ether items of Republican
folly.
Political observers here are of
the opinion that the already tot-
tering position of the G.O.P.
. In New Mexico has not been bol-
stered by this obvious disregard
for tacts. There is a well den
ned movement toward the Demo
cratic party thi3 year. The only
thing that party needs to achie
ve a victory in the state election
is to nominate men of the calibre
the public expects to be in office
when government matters have
reached the condition into which
New Mexico's have been plunged
by years of mis-rule.
Naturally, Republican politi
cians are going to move Heaven
and earth to dam a tide rolling
up their ruin so far as central of
New Mexico is concerned. How
ever observers of the situation
are frankly declaring that conti
nued misrepresentation of the
Democratic faction and further
broken pledges, along with the
attendant evils of extravagance
and consequent damaging taxa
tion, are not the means by which
the G . O . P . will retain control .
The recent effort through so
me publications over the state to
show that state headquarters
was discriminating against one
of the gubernatorial possibilities
fell far short of creating a
"break" in the Democratic ranks
There is not a Democrat in New
VIexico who is unware of the im
partial attitude of state headqua
rters toward all possibe candida
tes. State Chairman George H.
Hunker has put forth every ef
fort possible to have all of the
capable men in the party come
forward and put themselves be
fore the convention for nomina
tion. The chairman's sole view in
this has been the obtaining of
candidates for nominations who
would make capable executives.
With a field of men of virtually
uniform ability, the convention
could do nothing but pick a stro
ng ticket, which will be done.
Such a ticket in sight, with the
certainty of a united party be
hind it, has caused Republican
campaigners to get into the fra
ntic squad. (Adv.)

to adopt á resolution protesting

MILLS AND VICINITY
Isn't it strange, when you stop
to think about it, what all dry
weather does, such as we have
had the past two weeks. It ma
ves many an otherwise good cow

her meager existance. It makes
potatoes like pea sand our belo
ved roasting ears all cob. The
range worm wiggles along in
quest of food on some dry weed
for a number of days but at last
"gives up the ghost" on some
wire fence. The frogs gentle
voice no more we hear he has
taken it where the wets congre
gate and peace and quiet reigns
near our abode for ever.

:ker HEN
The slacker hen in Harding
County is doomed; if she wont
pay her keep she is to be butch
ered. And there are fully one
third of the hens of this county
that come under this class and
in this time of high prices of
feed, would be folly not to get rid
of them.
Next week a series of culling
demonstrations will be held in
the county and several of the lea
ding flocks will be culled. The
man doing this culling has had
a lot of experience in culling
flocks throughout this part of
the conntry . And he will be able
to give everyone some valuable
information in regards to culling
and to the care of the flock.
Every one that is raising poul
try no matter on how small a
scale should plan to be at one of
the following demonstrations.
On Tuesday Sep't. 5th the first
demonstration will be at the ho
me of Mrs O. A. Murphy six mi
les north of Mosquero at eight
thirty i nthe morning. The next
demonstration will be at the J.
W . Maib place northeast of Roy
at ten o'clock . In the afternoon
of that day the flocks of T.O.
Scott and Harry Evans will be
culled.
The following day Sep't 6th,
the first flock to be culled will
be that of Geo. E. Cochrane near
Mills at eight o'clock in the mor
ning. The next stop will bef at
the Chas F. Leonard farm north
east of Mills at ten A.M. Then
in the afternoon the flock of
Otis Abrogast Southwest of Mills
will be culled. Other flocks will
be culled each day if there
time.
