Christmas will be a day given over
TO feasting and merrymaking in
most homes, especially among the
little folks. and the Elks are going
to make sure that there are no little
ones in La Junta grieving because
fate has not been kind and remem-
bered them in the feast Of good
things, that is provided they are able
To find the unfortunate youngsters.
Not many of the antlered tribe are
worshipers at the shrine of sorrow.
None of them are hypochondriacs.
and very few have stomach trouble.
People thus afflicted are sometimes
suspected of being pious. The true
Elk simply says, Write me as one
who loves his fellow man." and that
is about the extent of his piety
Most of them believe in having joy
unconfined take the place of sorrow
in perfectly decent and respec-
table manner Of course. Since one
of our preachers refused to pray for
the Elks not many of the local tribe
have much hope of reaching the land
of pure delight. so they propose to
get busy making this old earth as
near like heaven as possible on
Christmas day. for the little folks
as well as themselves. After you
have tried it once you will find there
is no joy like giving. and the joyful
Christmas depends upon the pleasure
we may bring to others. Kiss and
make up and be a good fellow just
for one day in the year anyway.
That is the spirit that will animate
the true Elk on Christmas day. and
they are determined. that the little
shavers of La Junta at least shall
have good time. A big chimney
will be placed in the lodge room, and
at the appointed hour real live
Santa Claus will emerge from its
dingy recesses carrying huge bag
which will be loaded with all kinds
of goodies. Every kid in La Junta
and all of the outlying precincts,
under the age of twelve years. is
invited to be present from to 4
O'Clock on the afternoon of Christ
mas day. There will be feasting
and there will be music and a good
time generally. Every kid in La
Junta and roundabout is sure to
have Merry Christmas" because
the jolly big fellows of the Elks
lodge have so decreed. The COM
mittee having in charge the Christ
mas celebration is as follows: Mrs.

was accompanied by a high wind,
piercing flashes of lightning and
roaring thunder.
For several minutes our business
men on Main atreet were alarmed
lest the water in the oyerfowed
CUTTERS would reach the floors of
their places of business.
Throughout the surrounding
country the storm was equally as
severe.
Greeks were more rapidly swollen
than ever known before, and the
low lands were in but few minu-
ties after the beginning of the
storm covered with water to the
depth of several feet. The wild
rush of water carrying everything
in it's path.
Farmers suffered severely from
the storm, the corn on the high

The damage to the county roads

thousands of dollars.
The rainfall was 536 inches
