Chas. Hoyt's great comedy, "a
Midnight Bell" which has kept
'em laughing at the Tabor Grand
at Denver for the last week, will
be the attraction next Wednesday
in the opera house in La Junta.
The plot to "a Midnight Bell'
is laid in a northern New England
town, Of the present time. The
interest of the play is to picture
certain striking phases Of rural
life and certain types OF character.
The intent of the author has been
faithfully carried out, for in it we
see 1.-The Old Homestead" and
"Henrietta" rolled into one. While
"a Midnight Bell'' is OF the air Of
a comedy drama, its four acts are
weaved about certain daring
robbery and ITS sequel bids for it a
melodramatic flavor.

weekly Crop suI,e.,o.

The past week has been the
warmest thus far. East of the
mountains and in San Luis Park
the mean temperature has been
from two to FIVE degrees higher
than the normal, while seasonsble
conditions have prevailed on the
western slope. The daily range
Of Temperature continues marked,
the days being warm and the
nights cool, but the minimum tenn
peratures, with few exceptions,
have been above 40 degrees. The
rainfall has been confined to
showers in parts of the north-cen-
trail section, the eastern border
counties, and the lower Arkansas
Valley. In the south-central coun-
ties no precipitation OF conse-
quence has occurred for FIVE weeks.
The effect OF higher temperature
is apparent in the water supply,
which is rapidly increasing in all
streams fed by melting snow.
Seeding is practically finished.
On the western slope conditions
have been favorable to rapid a d.
vancement Of work and growth Of
crops, and farmers are much en-
couraged. Late reports from this
section are to the effect that dam
age 10 fruit BY recent frosts was
not so serious as anticipated.
Elsewhere, dryness OF soil has
proved detrimental to termination
and seriously delayed corn and po-
tato planting. With few excep
tons, ranges are poor and feed is
becoming scarce. Wherever water
supply will permit irrigation is in
progress, both for termination Of
seed and advancement of grain al
