To All Concerned.

The following bulletin has been

Two brakemen recently discovered
a broken telegraph wire. The inform.
alton was timely and prevented delay
in the transmission of telegraph bust

Such service is appreciated and they
have been given ten credit marks.

How to ..ke Good Roads.

John Gilmer Speed, writing on
GLOW to Have Good County
Roads," in the August Ladies'
Home Journal, proposes "that in
each county there be founded a
Road Improvement Association,
which shall have one or two days
meeting in the autumn OF each
year. To the membership and to
the meetings all the farmers should
be invited, while all those in the
county acting as road overseers or
road supervisors, should be urged
especially to attend. AT these
meetings special, definite and prac-
teal instruction should be given
in maintaining and repairing dirt
roads. Competent men to give
instructions can be secured with
out cost to such societies, for the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture has a Road Bureau, and
this bureau will always supply a
competent instructor to tell the
people just exactly what they need
and how to do the work as it should
be done"

quently the national color Of Spain
has the same effect upon him as a

bull. A yellow dog crossed his
path at a Chautauqua gathefing
last week, and the Denver Post
says the meeting suddenly termi-
mated with the most exciting affair
of the season.
"lust after DIR. Hyde had fu-
ished his discourse on Spain, Rev.
Coltman's dog pitched into Mrs.
McCartney's canine, which is yell
low. There was short confab,
with Professor Wetzel at one tail

The road between La Junta and
Rocky Ford is a disgrace to the
county. 1t is an unending high
way OF ruts. sink holes, ponds OF
stagnant water, high places and
unexpected low places, the whole
covered with luxuriant growth OF
weeds that reminds one Of a tropi-
cal Jungle. The road needs ''fixin'"
and needs it badly. 1t could be
made boulevard that would be
credit and an ornament to the
county, and it would, We think, be
wise expenditure to make.

Somewhere in this favored land
Of ours, the sun is shining bright.
and somewhere men are laughing
and somewhere hearts are light;
somewhere bands.a1e playing, and
somewhere children shout, but
there is no JOY in Rocky Ford, the
mighty melon rollers were struck
out.
With our apologies to the author
Of "Casey at the Bat" for the
above paraphrase. we use it be-
cause it aptly expresses the feel
ing that prevailed in the atmos
phere of cantaloupes and water
melons Sunday night.
The Pueblo Rover Club team
were to have played there last Sun
day. but were blufed out by $50
bet, so the Rocky Forders say.
Just to pass the time away and not
disappoint the crowd the "kid''
team OF La Junta were telephoned
for to fill the engagement The
Rocky Ford experts wanted to
show their admirers what easy
graft the La Junta nine would be
for them, as they had been practic-
ing faithfully in order to do up the
Pueblo nine in good shape.
The La Junta "kids" wiped the
earth up with them and only allow
ed them to score in but two in
nings. No little credit is due
young Perry for winning the game.
In the last inning he pitched nine
balls and three men went out, none
of the melon rollers being able to
connect with the sphere.
Now Rocky Ford is sore, very
sore. The fair women are tearing
their hair and the brave men are
gnashing their teeth in desperation.
They want one more chance. and
are willing to bet enough money
to pay off the war indemnity when
they are given an opportunity.
The war indemnity, like Rocky
Ford money, is an unknown guam
tity, and will probably never be
visible to the naked eye.
The lineup Of the teams and
the score by innings was as follows:
