NUMBER 4Q
Sunday Ball Playing.
The Frisco Laague Will be Organiz-
ed if Properly Encouraged
There is pretty {rood prospect
for a ball team in Cordell this
summer if the boys can get the
proper encouragement. There
are some good >all players in
town—good home players—not
yet able to leave the "homeplate'*
but can put up a good, snappy
game if properly encouraged. It
■is proposed to form a league of
^Sentinel, Cordell, Bessie, Clinton
Ouster and Thomas, and if Rocky
wants to or has a team, take that
town in in preference to one on
the north.
This arrangement would make
it very convenient for each team
to carry out the schedule with-
out feeding the gate receipts all
into the railroad company. To
•carry out such a proposition it
would be necessary to play Sun-
day ball during the league sea
son. Tow do not hold up your
• hands in holy horror at Sunday
ball wher you know well there
are worse things than ball games
pulled off every Sanday and you
can't correct them, but base ball
you can controll; its played in
the open and under restrictions
of and officer to prevent any act
that would jar the christian sen-
sibilities of any one. From our
point of view we.can see no more
harm for eighteen young men
to engage in a game of ball on a
Sunday afternoon for recreation
and pastime than it is for man to
crank up'his auto and. take his
family out for pleasure and re
creation, and many a man in our
town who promises his Lord ev-
ery Sunday morning that his
footsteps shall be a guide to the
youth of the land, go out in the
afternoon for enjoyment, then
why not give an opportunity to
the young man to enjoy his Sun
day afternoon,
The Sunday games will be free
as no admission can be charged
for such games. There is no
law to prevent ball playing on
that date so long as it is conduc-
ted in a respectably manner, but
our boys desire to have the en-
couragement of our townspeople
or not play,

Ash for County Attorney Normal Opens Monday
Improving The Park.
The park board has a force of
men working, charing up the
grounds and otherwise getting
ready for that great Illinois pic-
nic that is to be pulled off there
next Saturday, May 30. This is
one of the fixed annual events in
Cordell but every native son and
daughter, [by birth or adoption
of the Sucker state in the county
is invited to come with a good
bi<^ basket well filled with good
things to eat, ai.d the bigger the
George Cornell, the fellow who
thinks he is runnum for congress
in this district, was in town last
Sunday wandering around like
a rogue ai< a gem leuians conven-
tion with no one to do him the
honor of recognition until he
would shove his lumbering car-
cus into a crowd and introduce
himself. Cornell used to live in
Cordell several years ago and
our people know him. Tviter he
nsedjto come over from Weather-
ford and defend some bootlegger
and his mission here Sunday may
have been a still hunt for some of
his old clients. Had any of them
been in town, perhaps, his visit
would have been more fruitful,
but a poor defense made a move
necessary hence none to wel-
come this e xtinguisher of social-
ists and prosperity of. the poor.
He is the farmers' friend and
if sent to congress will hold chat
body up at the point of his elo-
quence until the piembers swear
to relieve him from part of the
burden of taxation on the various
quarters of land he has acquired
since he began to do business af-
ter his own methods. Vote for
Cornell and there is no doubt
but what you will please Cornell
and, perhaps, others for a time,
but everybody but Cornell will
regret it in less than six months.
Several years ago he was sent to
the legislature as a flotorial rep-
sentative from this and Custer
counties, and while puffed up
with victory, filled the hole very
well, but when the regular ses-
sion came on Cornell had shrun-
ken so much that he {couldn't
even rattle in the place any
more.
He was just as loud and boist-
erous is his professions of love
and affection of the dear people
then as now but it only lasted a
short time after the votes were
counted. He soon became a non
entity, and the people soon dis-
covered that there was nothing
in his loud talk'.but bait for suck
ers and that they had pulled the
cork under at the first throw.
He fooled you once, that was
your misfortune, if he does it
ag lin it wiil be your fault.
He Has Made A Good Record Rua His
Parnp Owe Him a Re nomin-
ation.
A, R. Ash, our present county
attorney, is a candidate for re-
election, and is willing to make
the race on his record since he
took hold of that office s :on af-
ler election in November.
He prefers to make the race on
his record, because if it is not
good and the people desire that a
change be made none will more
readily acquiesce in the decision
than he.
He has critics, men in his oiru
party who whould like to see
him defeated not because he has
not attended to his duty as a
faithful public official but be-
cause he has attended to it too
well. He has refused to issue
complaints in cases where the
evidence would not warrant put-
tine: the expense of prosecution Brooks, of the state university,
upon the county and the person | Pres- C. W. Briles, of the east-
wanting the complaint would not icentl'a^ norina^ D'' J- H. Bowers
Big Attendance Expected at the 22nd
Session of Washita County
Teachers' Instructors.
Enrollment in the twenty-sec-
ond session of Washita county
normal will begin Saturday at
Superintendent Wallace's office
and will be resumed Monday at
the high school building. After
registration the teachers will
take up their work. Superin-
tendent Wallace is confident of a
much greater attendance this
year than ever had before.
The normal will have many un-
usual features this year. It will
last for eight weeks, instead of
foui, and the corps of instrucors
has been increased from four to
seven. Another unusual fea-
ture of this session is a course
of lectures to be given by men
prominent in state educational
work, including Dr. Stratton
put up a bond to pay the costs if
the complaint fell down.
If it was not for the watchful-
ness of the county attorney that
office would soon take on the du-
ty of a collection department and
the taxpayers would be paying
the bills. Some man who have
been refused the use of the office
along these lines may have his
knife out looking for a vital spot
in Mr. Ash's political anatomy,
of A. and M., and others of abil
ity. During normal the Wash-
ita County Educational and Ath
letic Association will be perma-
nently organized and officers for
the county teachers'association
will be elected.

cludes Lot M. Jones, G. A. Cof-
fey, Chas. Baldwin, and Miss

circles here, and also John How-

What of The Record?
H. K. Thomas in his announce-
ment for renomination as com-
missioner. says: ' I have been a
member of and deacon in the
Missionary Baptist church for 30
years and there has never been a
charge made against me in my
church. I have never been ar-
rested in my life." Is'that a
good recommendation for the
man or the church? Is it a fact-,
basket the warmer the welcome. | as this implies, that its a rare oc-

have no charges filed against
him? When we hear some aged
person state that they have been
a member of that church a couple
score of years, would it be prop-
er to believe that at sometime
they had been charged with an
act derogatory to a christian
man or woman. For the sake of
the church and what it stands
for, charges ought to be prefer-
red against him for prostituting
the church for political advance-
ment.

For Better Roads.
Last week several members of
the Commercial Club went over
to Colony and met the township
officers of Segar township to see
what could be done towards put-
ting the state road in a better
condition. '
The committee found the offi-
cials a wiilidg bunch of men but
badly handicaped for the need of
some plsn under which to pro-
ceed, also a lack of funds to car-
ry it out. After some discuss-
ion and conferences with a num-
ber of good citizens of that com-
, j 4. f • aounity. it was decided to begin

the road from the east line of the
township to the west, making in
the neighborhood of twenty mile
to be repaired.
The committee told the officials
that a certain amount of money
would be advanced to theui until
township funds were available to
keep the work moving along. It
is the intention to get this road
in. as good repair as soon as pos-
sible in order to divert the good
crops, which seem certain now,
this way, and the citizens should
lend ail the encouragemont pos-
sible to the movement. Men
