With two victories in succes-
sion, the Wildcats are preparing
for the final big game of the sea-
son when they will meet their
ancient foe, Miami, on the local
gridiron next Wednesday after-
noon. at 3:30 o'clock.
Canadian last F'riday afternoon
defeated Higgins, here, by a
score of 7 to 6. Miami tied Hig-
gins. Canadian defeated Wheeler
; by a score of 12-0. That's the
dope, !•-> it looks favorable for
another victory for the Wildcats.
Advanced ticket s/iles seem to
i indicate that next Wednesday af-
j ternoon, regular duties will be
j given the slip. While the clerk
i goes out one door the boss will go
I out the other headed forth-- ball
^ game. Ex-students, of C. H. S.
: are coming back in droves to sec
this game. Former Wildcat stars
set i hope in getting revenge.
While it is regretted that the
game comes the day before
Thanksgiving, it is -ilniost im-
possible to get satisfactory offi-
cials for an important game that
day, H. D. Farmer, coach, an-
nounced. Many people have plan-
ned trips for Thanksgiving Day
and the present arrangement will
not conflict with their plans.
N" r.-:ne has been scheduled
for week, although an at-
tcn tit is being made to get one.
Should there be a home game for
this week, posters will be placed
in the window? of the business
houses.

I George Robinson and Dewey
j Robinson were convicted of steal-
ing two loads of wheat from Fred
jThierstein, in district court Mon-
• day. The jury was out about one
i hour and returned a verdict of
j "guilty." A penalty of three
i years in the state penitentiary
jwas assessed each of the defend-
jants.
j It was brought out in the trial
.j that two loads of wheat were sold
j in Mobeetie, the morning after
Mr. Thierstein missed his wheat.
The state's evidence was that Mr.
Thierstein was able to identify
the wheat because of some clover
leaves in one load. One load was
clean wheat and the other dirty.
Attorneys for the defense filed
a motion for a new trial. This
was overruled and an appeal made
to the criminal court of district
appeals.
Will Crow and District Attorn-
ey Calhoun represented the state
and Reynolds and Heare of Sham-
rock, were attorneys for the de-
fense.
The case against Charley Hale,
charged with murder, was con-
tinued. The trial of Mr. and Mrs.
Earl Scott, charged' with murder
in Hutchinson County, is set for
next Monday. The special venire
of 70 men called for tho Hale
case will return for duty Mon-
day.

Or- the front page of the Am-
arillo News Tuesday morning was
carried the picture of Uncle
George Caler of Happy, Tex., who
is the father of Mrs. W. B. Knox
of Canadian. The News had this
to say about M!r. Caler:
Happy, Texas, Nov. 18—Uncle
George Caler is the oldest person
living in Happy. He was 92 years
of age on Nov. 15. "Uncle
George" as he is known here was
born in North Carolina in 1837,
coming to Texas when he was
| only 15 years old and locating
with his parents in Grayson coun-
ty. He grew to manhood there
and enlisted in the Ninth Texas
Cavalry at the outbreak of the
Civil War going through the war
unharmed.
Unci-- George stated at one of
the battles he was in that five of
his comrades fell on each side of
him, he was the only one left
standing. After the Civil War
he returned to his old home in
Giwyson county but in 1890 he
"pulled his stakes" and moved to
Swisher county, filing on land
near Happy, and has been here
ever since. Few men at the age
of 75 are as active as Uncle
George. Just last week he made
the trip to Canyon via automobile
to look after a tract of land that
was being sold at sheriffs sale
and on which he held' vendor
lien notes. He is also to be com-
mended on giving the Baptist
church at this place $1,000 on
the new building which has just
been completed.

ted by the Canadian Chamber of
Commerce Tuesday night, a nom-
inating committee of five was
elected. This committee is te
nominate 12 candidates to be vot-
ed on at the next regular meet-
ing of the commerce body to be
held the second Tuesday in De-
cember. From the 12 candidate's
named by the nominating com-
mittee, a board of directors com-
posed of nine will be elected. Six
days before the next meeting mem-
bers of the Chamber of Com-
merce will be notified by the
nominating committee who the
twelve candidates are.
The nominating committee it
composed of the following: T. D.
Wiggins, Parker D. Hanna, Al-
bert Liska, Jesse Grimes and EL
C. Fisher.
; Following the election of the
board of directors, the board will
elect its own officers, according
to the new constitution.
The report of the special com-
mittee on by-laws and constitu-
tion was adopted unanimously,
with only a few minor changes.
The committee was Parker D.
Hanna. chairman; T. D. Wiggins
and W. D. Fisher.
J. W. Sanders of Amarillo, a
former Canadian attorney, at-
tended the meeting Tuesday night.
He made a brief talk in which
he warned the Chamber of Com-
merce that the most important
piece of work ahead of it, in his
opinion, is the obtaining of pavetf
highways for this county, He
said that unless that work Is
properly handled and the paving
obtained, Hemphill County will
suffer tremendously. *. Sand-
err owns considerable property
in this county.
T. D. Moss, secretary of the
Perryton Chamber of Commerce,
and W. H. McDivitt. also of Per-
ryton, attended the meeting. Mr.
Moss spoke at some length on
the need of a full-time secretary
for the Canadian Chamber of
Commerce, outlining some of the
duties of such an officer. He
told of the many things a secre-
tary can do for a city that can-
not be done, unless a full-time
man is obtained. He said even
though the merchants and busi-
ness men have to pay more than
they have been used to paying
into the organization, they will
qr'iin by it more than they real-
ize.
