TO SELECT ALL-STAR TEAM
We are apt to forget the deeds of
former players, unless they are
brought before us from time to time.
We have had some very good players
in our day, and the least we can do is
to remember and recognize them.
For this reason it will be interesting
to select an “AU-Star Team” from
the stars who have played on the
Clifton College base ball teams.
Any competent player is eligible
for a position on this team, and any-
one many vote. Everyone who is
interested in the College and its
teams, should vote, so as to get the
common opinion. The results of this
contest will be published in the Clif-
ton Record at the end of the month
and also in the last of “The Tehas-
trella." Send your selection to Eu-
gene Opsahl at Clifton College. Send
it now, before you forget it.
The following players are suggest-
ed:
Pitchers—A. P. Olson, G. A. Grim-
land. “Red” Tergerson, A. Peterson,
P. B. Rohne, C. D. Colwick, J. P.
Knudson, C. Roddy, E. B. Harris.
Catchers—H. Hill, T. W. Anderson
Jr., A. L. Bronstad, C. Colwick, J. L.

PLEASE CORRECT
Mineral Wells Index: For the
general information of the press
gang, we want to state that the
joint request made by Jim Lowry and
State Press that they be permitted
to sing “I’m a Wild Prairie Flower,
Getting Wilder Every Hour” at the
meeting to be held in Amarillo next
June has been turned down by the
program committee.
There is a mistake here. State
Press, who can sing, never author-
ized the association of his name with
that of Jim Lowry, who can’t sing.
There are other reasons why S. P.
wouldn’t want to put on a duet with
Mr. .Lowry. Mr. Lowry not only is a
muted flute when it comes to making
music, but is also a person who caters
to what he calls the good old days in
order to please the old-timers and
get them to subscribe for his paper.
Only recently Mr. Lowry ran in his
Honey Grove Signal what was in-
tended to be a touching editorial on
the subject of old-fashioned church
services. It was touching, all right,
and subsequently was touched up by
the Jacksonville Progress. Telling
of an old timey circuit rider who con-
ducted an old-timey service in a fine
city church, Mr. Lowry described with
effective rhetoric the force and ef-
fect of the hark back to the era of
simplicity and sincerety. Nobody de-
nies that Mr. Lowry can make his edi-
torials read smoothly, because he is
that way himself. But this time he
was off his guard. He wrote of the
circuit rider lining out ancient favor-
ite hymna as “On Jordon’s Stormy
Banks” and “I Am Bound for the
Promised Land.” Mr. Lowry referred
to them as two hymns, he not know-
ing any better, and the Jacksonville
Progress man, who doesn’t know
much more himself, remonstrated by
showing that the supposedly two dis
tinct hymns were in fact one hymn.
Mr. Lowry merely overreached him-
self, for once. Is it likely that State
Press would agree to ling with such
a man?—J. J. Taylor in 5aitas New{.
No doubt the attendance at this an-
tf&al meeting would have been much
greater, had these two gentlemen
been allowed to “do their song stuff.
The application of Karl Leo Love-
lady of Clifton, for admittance to the
Citizen’s Military Training Camp, to
be held at Fort Sam Houston, Texas,
during the month of August, has been
approved by the Commanding General
of the Eighth Corps Area. All his
expenses will be paid by the govern-
ment.
R. O. Bass and E. Presnall were
in Waco Thursday of last week, at
which time Mr. Bass, through his at-
torney, filed an application for a new
hearing with the Tenth Court of Civil
Appeals in that city, in the case of
R. O. Bass vs. City of Clifton. This
case was decided by this court last
month in favor of the city.

Clifton’s base ball team is now get-

be played with the M. K. T. team of
Waco.

People from Waco, Meridian, Valley
Mills and other near-by towns have
been coming to Clifton this week to
attend the Queen Theatre. The special
piotium-this week which attracted such
wide attention was “The Hunchback
of Notre Dame,” with Lon Chaney and
an all-star cast. We doubt if any
other town as small as Clifton has
shown as high priced pictures as thia
one, and it was a great opportunity
for the people of this section to be
able to remain at home and see such
a picture. The Queen Theatre has
won & reputation for showing the
best pictures it is possible to secure—
and it often happens that the man-
agement puts more money in a picture
that he gets out of it—and at the
time the picture is bought they realize
this fact, but realize the importance of
doing this occasionally.

CLEAN FARMS
Whan you talk about clean farms
there art farmers who will think that
you art only a zealot for neatness
They will think that it is just the
“looks” ©f the farm that interests
you. Point them to a well-kept, pros,
perons farm and they will eay,
“That man made money and can af-
ford to keep bis farm in good shape.”
This kind of reasoning pats the cart
before the horse. It would be near-
er the truth to say, “This man kept
his farm in good shape and therefore
/made money out of it.” It is more
important to keep a farm clean than
it is to keep a factory clean, and
every factory manager knows that
a dirty, disorderly factory spells loss.
Clean farming is an essential ele-
ment of profitable farming.—Dear-
