Dramatic cIass New

Those who arc fortunate in secur-
ing seats for the production Of the
big sensational comedy "Struck
Cas- Friday night are to be con-
graduated. The reserved seats are
now all sold and standing room
promises TO be at premium. All
lovers Of cieancut comedy are avail
ing themselves Of this opportunity of
seeing a frs,-class play in the hands
OF our capable dramatic class. Mrs.
E. NJ. Parker, who is to interpret the
leading rols OF "wilicai the Romp,"
will delight everyone by her artistic
rendition Of this difficult part. Her
supporting cas-, is well selected for
the different parts and the sensation
al climaxes OF which the piece
abounds will hold the audience sell
bound by the dramatic intensity
contained in the scenes. The shoot
ing of the gas veil in act two will be
found well worth the price Of ad-
mission.
The dramatic class fairly covered
themselves with glory by their
clever work in "Tennessee's Par
ner" last Friday night and of the
large audience present not one can
be found who will not readily pro-
nounce it "The best production ever
given here" Too much praise can
not be rendered the class as a
whole Tor this dramatic treat. Mrs.
DR.. Cooper carried off the lions
share of the honors by her extremely
brilliant and thoroughly natural
reading of the dainty part Of Ten
nessec Kent" She seemed to fairly
live the part and swayed her audi
ence from laughter to tears at will.
Mrs. Mitchell played good second
and although the part contained
great dramatic strength she was at
all times equal to it. Her change
from the cold hard woman of the
world to the penitent wife was most
cleverly done and we'll deserved the
generous applause accorded her.
Her beautiful appearance won her
many compliments. Mr.. Lyon, as
"caleb" and Mr.. Miller, as "Asa, .
both deserve great credit for the in
tensity with which they imbued their
parts. Upon them fell all the
stronger scenes and in their hands

About the middle of October the
La. Junta Ice Company will COM
mence the work of doubling the
capacity of their present plant. The
capacity of the present plant is seven
tons per day. and this plant will be
duplicated and the two worked in
conjunction. A storage room of
900 tons capacity will also be
erected. The improvements will
involve an expenditure of about ST.
900. During the past summer the
ice company has been greatly handi-
capped, the capacity of the plant not
being great enough to supply the
demand. They tried the experiment
of shipping in ice from Hutchison,
han. and other points. by the car
load. but soon found that this was
too expensive. and necessity forced
them to turn away number of
customers. Next season they hope
to have plant Of sufficient capacity
to supply the demand for a time at
least.

Down in Garden City the local ice
company is going to put in swim
ming pool next summer and an ice
skating rink. A natatorium and ice
skating rink in La Junta would be a
better paying investment than loan
ing money at two per cent a month,
aid it is mystery to us that some
enterprising citizen of this burg
does not engage in the business.
"Ole swimmin' holes are mighty
scarce hereabouts. and the luxury
of ice skating is an almost unknown
quantity We are of the opinion
that if a stock company was organ
lied sufficient capital could be secur-
ed to finance an enterprise of this
kind. La Junta raised $4,000 to
bore an oil well south of town, on
prospect thin as air-and nothing
was ever realized except hole in
the ground. 1t ought to be an easy
matter to raise 5000 to build a
natatorium. project that would pay
good interest on the investment from
the very start. Who will make a
move first?

probably have great sufficiency be-
fore he reaches his destination. He
left last Sunday at high noon for

fell from the wings of night had
reached Granada. While there he
indited an epistle to a friend in La

which reads as follows: Hello,

their tales makes it look bao. We
make no secret of actual conditions
here in La Junta. and they have been
extensively and persistently adver-
tised in various ways. In fact. we
have a few people who have been
particularly industrious in the mat
ter of publicity and have made con
ditions appear much worse than they
really are. II we ever had a typhoid
epidemic. as chronicled by the
Fowler Tribune, there is no evidence
of it at the present moment, and We
for one are gong to let the matter
drop with such a dull. sickening
thud that it will never be resurrect-
ed again so far as we are concerned.

According to the census of the ice
man La Junta has population of
6.75O. About 1000 families in La
Junta take ice. according to the ice
man. and he admits that only about
two-thirds of the total number Of
families in this city are served with
CONCEALED moisture every day. II
every family in La Junta was served
the iceman thinks he would have
about 800 customers. There is one
boarding house in La Junta that has
ninety boarders and another that has
eighty boarders. The iceman num-
bers both among his customers and
counts each as one family. II La
Junta has 800 families and We
estimate four and one-half persons
to each family, which is fair aver
age, La Junta at the present time
has a population of $3.50. This is a
very fair census and the great family
journal is of the opinion that it is
very close to the right figure.

MAN About
Town

Who's a liar? There is base
prevarcator in the woodpiie some
where, but who it is? That's the
question. Two weeks ago the great
family journal chronIcled an AS
servation to the effect that re-
putable citizen Of the town Fowler
had admitted that there were be-
tween twenty-five and thirty cases
of typhoid fever in that burg. The
aforesaid citizen is engaged in a
business where he would be in a
position to know whereof he speaks.
and we still believe that he inadver-
tantly confessed as to the real con-
ditions without ever dreaming that
that the allegation would appear in
cold type. Now comes John Brown
(not the parsonage whose body has
been mouldering in the grave for
years and years, but he was formerly
commissioner from the west end),
and being of sound mind and
naturally opposed to his home town
being discredired. deposes and says
that there are not to exceed four
cases of typhoid fever in Fowler,
most of which were imported. Now
comes the Fowler Tribune. and being
naturally inclined, like any other
respectable newspaper, to boost It's
own community even at the expense
of discrediting others. and deposes
and SAYS that the great family
journal has grown weary of the un-
enviable health reputation acquired
and in order to detract attention
from the situation proceeded last
week to issue knocks on all thi valley
towns by trying to make 1t appear
that all of these places were as badly
afflicted proportionately as La
Junta." And so they are. La
.Junta has population of $500 and
we admit that we have had 200 cases
of typhoid thus far this season.
which is about three per cent.
Fowler has population of 500. and
the official organ. Of that burg
admits that there has not been eX-
ceeding fifteen cases during the
summer" which is also three per
cent of the population. The typhoid
epidemic is just as bad in Fowler as
it is in La Junta, according; to pop
ulation. The great. family journal is
not Issuing KNOCKS on all the valley
towns" not any more than they are
entitled to, but i: is c.hch that we
are not going to supinely listen to
knocks on La Junta by nearby towns
when it can be mathematically de-
monstrated that conditions are no
worse in this community than they
are in other Arkansas Valley towns.
How is any one going to know as to
the exact conditions in Fowler One
resident says there are twenty five
cases, another that there are only
four. and the official organ of that
burg admits to having fifteen. The
people of that community ought to
get together and agree on some de-
finite number before sending out
health statistics. The difference in
