FARMERS' CLUB MEETING
Held at the Home of Guy liust Tues
dayFarmers Have Derided
to Name Their Farm
About twenty-five farmers were
present at the regular monthly meet
ing of the club, which was held at
the home of Guy Rust, four miles
north of Alliance, Tuesday.
Probably the most Interesting part
of the program came when the farm
ers united In a decision to name their
farms. Now instead of hearing of
Mr. 8o-and-So's farm, you will hear
of it as the Fairview or Sunnyview
farm. In some of the older states
. . j this idea has gained such proportions
that one seldom hears of a farm In
the owner's name Instead, it is des
ignated under its official title, which
is generally registered with the coun
ty officials to avoid duplication. This
plan will be followed here, that is,
all farm owners will register the
names of their places with County
Agent Seidell so that no two farms
will have the same names. Just to
show how quickly the farmers re
sponded to the plna, the names of
those already registered are here
printed.
"Purry Home" farm D. W. Reiman.
"SunnyBlde" farm Guy Rust.
"Hill Crest" farm A. L. Davis.
"Ash Grove" farm D. E. Purinton.
"Pleasant Hill" farm F. M. Russell.
"Shady Nook" farm N. M. Hays.
Meadow Brook" farm W. D. Grif
fith.
Wayside" farm H. E. Lee.
Locust Grove" farm O. A. Davig.
Among the other business matters
discussed at this meeting was the
one of statewide hail Insurance, In
hiah every farmer is interested.
Secretary Fisher was present, and
offered, to paint signs for the first
twenty-five who named their farms,
and from present indications he will
ave a big bunch of sign painting on
his hands. Should two farmers de
cide on the name names for the plac
es, the one who registers his name
first with County Agent Seidell will
have exclusive right to the name.
The usual excellent dinner was
served, and the meeting adjourned
to meet at Purlnton's grove five and
one-half miles north of Alliance, on
September 21. ,
the game Monday. Evidently It
would have been better for the Bap
tists had it not rained for they hai
a good lead and were playing win
ning ball Saturday but by Monday
the tables were turned and the Meth
odist boys seemed to have everything
their own way. The game was won
In the eighth inning when the cellar
champions rallied to run In seven
scores, apparently batting the Bap
tist mound artist at will, as the en
tire team took a swing at the pill
during that inning. Little Ray Ed
wards pitched consistent ball
throughout the game for the Meth
odists and was well supported by his
team mates. Mr. Campbell for the
Baptists seemed to be in his usual
good form up to the eighth inning,
when he became wild and walked
several men.

Christians Win Another
Yesterday afternoon the Christian
Sunday school team took another
game from the Baptists by the score
of 14 to 8. The Christians are
playing like a house afire and seem
determined to win that pennant, and
it looks like it Is going- to be a pretty
bard Job for some team to keep them
from doing It. The pennant is not
cinched yet, however, as Hemlngford
is a close contender for It. The lat
ter team has more games to play
than the Christians and will proba
bly win the most of them, so it is
likely that the last game which Is be
tween Hemlngford and the Christ
ians will decide the championship.
Arrangements have been made to
have this game played at the fair
