BE LOYAL TO THE
HOME TEAM
Being a Word oif How to Help Have
a Winning Club—Don't Knock
the Home Town Team
We would like to drop a thought
to you about the support of the, home
baseball team. Not in the spirit of
a harsh criticism but rather to blight
out a feeling that can grow rapidly
once started—it's about the harm
home fang can do when they set in
to "pan" the members of the home |
club. Nothing will break down the
morale of the home team or destroy
their spirit of fight to win quicker
than a roasting from the grandstand
or sidelines. When a fellow is out
there trying to play his best—wheth-
er its a big league or small town per-
formance—he needs your help and
word of encouragement. A kick and
a jab discourages him and one or two
cogs out of gear throws the machine
into a jumble and usually causes a
lost game. And above all its' a hun-
dred to" one shot that the fan who is
doing the snorting couldn't play base-
ball in a class with th6 player he is
knocking.
If you are a Lexingotn booster, be a
loyal fan. Encourage the home
players. When they make a bobble,
don't holler your head off. That won't
do any good and is sure to do harm.

WHOLESALE THEFT
CHARGED TO TWO
Truck Full of Alleged Stolen Proper-
ty of all Kinds Found By Officers
—Men are in County Jail
Alleged to have worked over the
entire southeast part of the county
and to have taken into custody ev-
erything of value they could carry
drive or lead, Sid Prigmore and 0. K
Wilson, were placed in the county jail
Thursday night on a charge of burg-
lary.
Equipped with a big Ford truck
the two men made their first appear-
ance near Lexington about two weeks
ago, according to officers. After can-
vassing that part of the county the
men suddenly made their departure
into McClain county where officers
believe they stayed in hiding while
Lexington and McClain county farjn-
ers and offices scoured the woods for
them. Both men were arrested south-
west of Purcell Thursday night with
a truck loaded with stolen property
officers charge.
Burglarizing houses, raiding chick
en roosts, breaking into garages, and
collecting all kinds of second hand
treasurers and relies by urilawful
means, has been the occupation of
the two men during their stay in this
county according to county officers.
Old tools, auto tires, and accessor-
ies, old watches, razors, chickens, and
dozens of varieties of other kind of
personal property were found hidden
in the truck, county officers state. A
large collection of "wild west" and
detective novels of the ten cent type
were also found in their possession.
Local authorities think that possibly
the desire to practice the tricks told
in these books was responsible for
the alleged robberies. One of the
young men is 20 and the other 21
years old.
The arrests were made by John
Ratliff, sheriff of McClain county
and C. I. Adams, deputy.

Committee Appointed to Assist Com-

With a committee appointed to
meet with the county commissioners
for the purpose of making final ar-
rangements for issuing a call for an
election on the proposed hard sur-
faced road bond issue of $600,000, the
Cleveland County Good Roadg asso-
ciation started on the final lap of
the county wide road race, Friday
evening.
Moore, Noble, Lexington, and
Norman were represented when
members of the executive commit- =
tee of the county road association r
went in session Friday to draw up s
final plans. Petitions from Moore s
Noble, and Lexington, bearing the i =
signatures of hundreds of tax-pay- s
ers who ask that the good roads elec- =
tion be called, were presented by the s
committeemen from those communi- jr
ties. Norman's petitions will be r
called in before Tuesday. jj
That the proposed hard surfaced 3
road program in this county will s
for the most part provide for a good E
substantial gravel top with hard j s
foundation, seemed evident at the j ■z
meeting Friday when executive com- j:

Hav# a good word instead of a jab.
Accord all visiting teams genuine
courtesy and hospitality. Let it be

square-shooters and that a visiting
club is always assured a square deal
all the way round when they come
here to play. Let's lose fair and
win the same way—and Lexington is
certain to get the good returns that
go t0 that kind of a town anywhere.
