AS Market day, November 90 ap-
proaches. interest increases and there
is every prospect that the first celebra-
tion will be "hummer. w. R. Lee,
one of the arrangements committee, is
in receipt of large number of letters
from towns in the vicinity of Glenwood
asking about Market day. For the edi-
ication of farmers, the following circu-
lar has been prepared by the committee
and 1000 of them will be sent broad
east over the western slope:

stockmen desiring to place on eXhibi-
tion their stations, bulls and boars, as
all stock growers are dcsirous of i'm

supply the increasing demand.
Remember, the Farmers club

Market day is on the 23d. with the re
suit that you will have chance to do
business on all of the above dates. But

FOR BENEFIT OF GLENwooD.

An unusually interesting session of
the Glenwood Springs board of trade
was held last night at the Grand ho-
tel, Major s. J. DeLan presiding. Re
ports from the Market day committee
were received, and the board listened
to short address by James B. Young,
secretary of the Colorado State Com
mercial association, who is making
trip over the western slope. Mr.. Young
explained clearly the objects of the as
sociation, and it was not difficult for
him to convince the board that Glen
wood was in need of just the kind of
advertising that would be given it by
the association.
Literature showing the advantages to
be gained by permanent or transient
residence in Colorado is continually be.
and though its efforts the attention of
thousands of homeseekers has been
drawn to the state.

the special subcommittee, said he,
were getting busy spreading the news
of the Forthcoming event over this part
of the country. The county officials
had promised to make special trips out
into the country and there to person
ally interview the farmers and inform
them of the manifold advantages of a
Market day.
Subscriptions amounting to $3.50 had
been signed for by the business men
and not all of them had been seen. A

Make Stock Sale a Feature.

At the Grand hotel this morning Eu-
gene Grubb of Carbondale and Bert
Stroud of DcBcque met members of the
committee and offered some valuable
suggestions. One point that seemed i'm
portant was the necessity of sending
out men who will talk to the farmers
and show them that it will be greatly
to their advantage to come here on
November 90 with their live stock and
produce. Mr. Grubb is of the opinion
that the committee will not have to
look for buyers. The recent stock
sales up the country have proven be.
yond the shadow of a doubt that horses,
cattle and hogs are bringing big prices.
"Take up the IDEAS that have proven
successful in other towns says Grubb,
"and the chances for the success of
your Market day will be greatly in.
creased. Give prizes for the best draft
horses, for instance, and the best cat
tie. A premium list is what is needed
more than anything else to arouse the
interest of farmers. Have big auc-

ahead-and it is the Glenwood people
that must make it go-you will find

Leary Gets His Chance

CTRIKE out Leary? What chancei We
~ saw the old man meant business when he
tapped the plate with that club; and We
weren't mistaken, for he let out on the second
ball pitched with swing that would make
Sokemout Suggs turn green with envy.
Bangi the shock Jared the clouds over
our heads. Long Arm dropped his bat, dug
for first the runner second dug for home;
and the San LUIS fielders began running around
like a lot o chickens with their heads OF
looking for the ball.
And where was the ball? The man coming
home rounded third, Leary rounded first. and
the crowd going crazy Victory was IN
our grasp. and the thought of 1t maddened
them.
Suddenly we saw the Cuban ketcher dash
forward. He picked up Leary's sugar cane
bat and there, stuck fast to one side. was the
ball. He jerled it loose and tagged the man
coming home as he dashed up to the plate.
Yes, sir, that ball had been hit SO hard.
and the sugar cane bat had been so sticky
with molasses. that the ball just stuck there
like luscious plum for that ketcher to pluck
Poor Leary come dashing round and near
tainted when he saw what he'd done. He
thought the ball had gone four miles and
killed a COW, maybe
so you see sluggin' isn't the only thing in
baseball. And when luck and nature both
combine against YOU. you better give 1t up;
for you cant win.

IF | had hit that ball just one ounce harder,
i said Wagon Tongue Wilyums to me one
evening after a specially hot game with
Larrup Center,-"if I'd hit it just one teenty
ounce harder, she'd a cleared that fence,
stead O. hitting the top; that drive would
been a homer instead o bouncing back and
getting me caught at second; and we'd a won
the game with wings"
"Shucksi" says |. Il see that yeller dog
if is around again. We might have won.
and we might not. If the ball had gone over
the fence, the chances are 1t d a hit stone or
a rock or a rubber bicycle tire, and bounced
back again. 1t was luck did 1t. You can beat
luck in basebal-and nature. You can beat
good playing by playing better; but when
luck or natures against you, you might as

You may be o them fortune tellers,

talk about hitting the ball hard. The race
don't go to the swiftest horse always, and the

Suggs?"
Wagon Tongue Wiliyums bit off a bunch of
plug and nodded. OF course he knew Sollem-
out Suggs. He'd been the champion hitter of
the Big Stick League years back, and every
body that ever went to ball game knew him

Sokemout's Hit

WELL, what'd you say if sh'd tell you
that Sokemout Suggs once hit ball SO
hard he didn't get to first base on it? What'd
you say if a swipe he once made only went leven
feet away from the plate, when the force he
