Stonington Cele-
brates Extensively
(By e. S. JACKSON

The celebration at Stonington
July 5-1909 has gone down in
history as one of the largest
gatherings of people that has as
sembled together in Baca county
for years. The beautiful sun
shining morn bid fair for a glor-
ious celebration. Buggies, Car
reages, Wagons, Automobiles,
loaded to their capacity came
vending across the roaling sloaps
from every direction, to the
Queen of the parraries. At 1920
about 700 people had assembled
in our midst to celebrate the
Adoption of the declaration of
Independence, July A, I776.
We are unable to recall an in
cident of our past life where we
witnessed such a demonstration
of Socibility and conjenial hos
pitality as was manifested among
tina people that came to celebrate
with us. A splendid game of
Ball between Konantz e. Ston-
ington was enjoyed before din
ner. At high noon the heavy
laden boxes and baskets of etab-
les was spread out before the
patrioc 700 and such a dinner we
have seldom had the opertunity
to help to devouer. After dinner
there was some good speaking
that every one seemed to enjoy.
Then came the exciting events
Iof the day the roces, four good
dash races were pulled off. Then
came the Reley Race which was
one of the best races of the kind
that was ever run in Baca Co.
An excellent riding contest at the
close of the program. The Splen-
did rain that came rushing across
the parries like Caeveries fleet,
dashing the dust with its num-
berlass feet, interfeared with
the display of fireworks to GER
tain degree. Undaunted by the
pelting rain the Committe on fire
works faced the storm and the
display that they made with the
beautiful colored lites, as they
hoated OF wards the Black clouds
that dropped the skies, was great,
the crowd was patient and good
humerdly though. The rain con,
tinued through the greater part
of the night, the Business houses
and dwellings were throne oper
to shelter the crowd from the
Storm.

SPARE THE BIRDS AND ToADs

The propensity which is inborn in
most boys to kill something, and which
morbid desire is carried by so many of
them 10 manhoods estate, not having
been entirely eradicated by sound read
ing and teaching on the wickedness and
senseless folly of it, is apparent in the
army of gophers, kangaroo rats and
mice and swarms of flies and insects
generally that infest the rural districts
and town.
These pests thrive where their nat
ural enemies are exterminated by the
ready gun in the hands of thoughtless
men and boys, and the farmer, the
gardner, the orchardist and the city
dweller are the sufferers.
The birds are the farmers best
friends, for the various kinds prey on
the destructive gophers, rats, mice and
chipmunks and the harmful worms and
insects that infest the trees and plants.
The harmless owl is among the best
friends of man, for it is purely carniv-
erous and must seek such food for a
living, while the various. species of
hawks are also flesh eaters; and no
doubt do much more good than harm,
although so ruthlessly hunted and shot
by men and boys as if they were a
common enemy.
1t is true that occasionally a hawk
catches a chicken, and even owls have
been known to pay visits to barnyards
IN search of food, but as rule both
species of birds prey on the small foui
footed animals that are so harmful.
Other birds seek out and destroy the
larva that infests trees, vines and
shrubbery, as well as catching flies and
beetles and other insects of the air,
and scratch for grubs and worms in the
soil.
And so in view of the fact that birds
are so useful to mankind the wonder is
that they are not better protected by
laws and that a stronger popular senti-
ment is not worked up in their favor.
In fact, a country destitute of birds
and toads is in very bad condition for
following agricultural pursuits, and SO
the birds, the toads and even the harm
less blow snakes that subsist on rats,
mice, gophers and chipmunks should be
protected Pueblo Indicator.

play of fireworks was especially
fine in spite of the rain.
