stream which is to supply sport for
the Murdock fishermen during the

A. J. Tool sold two sets of those
excellent harness which goes at ex

return home in a short time.
The place cards at the basket ball
banquet were very unique and the
favors was made from a basket ball
with legs attached and a roosters
head, with a chicken feather for a
tail. It looked like it wanted to crow
if it only dared, but there was some
there scared between the team which
it represented and victory so it did
not dare.

Murdock Basket
Ball Team Has a
Fine Banquet
Team That Made Way Into the Finals
of Tournament Are Honored by
Friends and Boosters.
Murdock sure gave expressions of
gladness for the very excellent way
in which the Murdock basket ball
team performed at the tournament
which has just closed, when on last
Thursday they were given a banquet,
and expressed the satisfaction of the
elegant manner in which this team
brought the attention of the city of
Murdock to the rest . of the cities
in the state. The team of young
men of the Murdock school is one
any should be proud of and Murdock
is eminently right in being satisfied
with the performance of these young
men as players of basket ball as
well as the exemplary character of
the members of the team.
In the first game when Murdock
hooked up with the team of the Rose
land school the boys won by a score
of 17 to 5. The second game was
with Giltner, and the result of this
game was Murdock 15 and Giltner
11. The third game showed the
Murdock boys victor by a score of 11
for Murdock and 10 for Broadwater.
The fourth game was the hardest
fought and resulted in the Murdock
boys losing the game by a score of
14 to 16 in this class, Courtland
taking the cup.
In recognition of the excellent vork
of the team the city of Murdock put
on a banquet at the high school
which was furnished by the ladies ,

TMEMT.
Papal Delegate
Reaches Mexico
Roman Catholics of Two States Pe
tition Revision of Constitution
Charge Persecution.
Mexico City, March 18. Roman
Catholics in Mexico are making a de
termined effort to have anti-Catholic
laws of the Constitution of 1917 re
vised. In the states of Tuebla and
Vera Cruz they have already sent pe
titions to congress asserting that
laws in Mexico in "persecution" of
the Roman Catholic represent action
by only a fraction of the Mexican
people which took advantage of mill
tary power.
The petitions aver that the anti-
Catholic laws attack rights of race,
paternity and citizenship, and that
the Constitution deprives the mm
isters of all cults of their natural
civic, political and human rights,
rendering difficult the existence of
ministers and churches.
The organization of Roman Cath
olics is nation-wide, working avidly
for the return of church privileges.
Not satisfied with opposing the Gov
ernment, the Roman Catholic orga
nization is reported as bitter against
Protestants, Masons and foreigners,
whom they believe were favored and
protected by the Government. The
position of Protestants and foreign
ers is reported as unpleasant in the
interior towns.
Religious trouble continued to be
reported from the interior, though
in Mexico City normal conditions
were approximated. It is reported
from Papantla, Vera Cruz, that the
home of the Bishop Principal of the
church has been closed there, owing
to protest of Roman Catholics at the
expulsion from the state of the
Bishop of Papantla.
While church excitement was sub
siding, the new papal delegate, Car-
auna, arrived, partly unannounced
here, undoubtedly to try to better
the situation. He is the first papal
delegate since Monsigneur Fillippi
was expelled by President Obregon
FARMING AS A BUSINESS
"Legislation can help agriculture
help itself," Governor McMullen de
clared in an address before delegates
attending the convention of the Fed
eration of Nebraska Retailers at
Grand Island, Nebraska.
The governor declared that the
farmer does not ask the government
to step in and manage his affairs.
but does ask that he., be aided in
working out his own problems. He
ursred "less talk. less thouerhtless od-
nnsjHnn ml ahnv nil. something
iriea.
'Agriculture is not a local indus-
try in which only the people of the
It represents an investment of
over $8,000,000,000. In economic
matters sericulture.. must be taken
for what it is namely, our basic
tor wnat it is, namely, our oasic
lndustrVf aRd our largest industry,
If it can be help through legislation
as other industries are helped then
the help should be forthcoming.
..Jf the tariff system benefits in
ddstry ag u most certainiy does, then
iit Ehodld benefit agriculture. But
(agriculture must first put itself in
position to receive such benefit. As
it ig now it ig helped by the tarif
J only in form instead of in fact. Its
protection through the tariff is on
paper instead of on the farm. But
that is not the fault of the tariff.
It is the fault of agriculture itself.
One obstacle in the way of help
through the tariff has been crop sur-
pulsage.
"So long as there is surplus of
any crops, the surplus must be sold
in competition with world produc
aion, and the world price received
for the surplus is the price that has
been accepted for the major portion
of the crop. That is wrong and in
every way is unbusinesslike. It's the
tail wagging the dog.
"Agriculture is not asking special
favors of the government and it is
not asking the government to step
in and manage the farmers' affairs.
It simply wants help to which it is
entitled, the same kind of help the
government has given industry, labor
and finance. And there i3 another
thing agriculture wants: It wants
less talk, less criticism, les3 thought
less oppoition and more action. It
'wnat something tried."
W. C. T. U. PLANNING
LIQUOR FLOW CORK
San Antonio, Tex., March 18 In
an effort to stop the flow of liquor
across the international border from
Mexico, a chain of local W. C. T. U.
units is planned from Brownsville
to California for the purpose of
creating dry sentiment and enlisting
the aid of law enforcement agencies.
At a recent conference held at
Brownsville with officials of Mexico
and the United States a campaign
was outlined not only to stem the
tide of illicit liquor from crossing
the river, but to inaugurate a clean
up of vice conditions of Mexican
towns easily accessible to Americans.

More progressive programs of ed

ed by Mr. Neweus, of Lincoln, presi
dent of the University School of
Music, in his address.
He also advocated a new policy
for the consideration of the state
legislature: "the requiring of every
young man and young woman born
in this country, eligible for citizen
ship, to take an oath of allegance
to the constitution of the United
States by examination on the docu
ment and swearing to support the
constitutional government in word,
in his character, ana m tne exercise
of his franchise at the polls."
Wars have been prevalent be
cause tne neroes or tne Danieneia
have been idealized," Mr. Newens de
clared. "As times advance, men
should be idealized for their effec
tive work in the battlefields of
economic questions, international
counciliation and governmental pro
jects," he added.
