When
The
Sugar
Beets
- =
Topped:

with apologies to James Whitcomb
Riley.)
Now the harvest days are ended,
And the wheat is in the bin;
The corn is shocked together,
And theN fodder fields are grim;
And the farmers calculatin'
All the fields that he has cropped,
But his bank account is doubled.
When the Sugar Bcets are Topped.
The plow is slowly guided
Up and down the furrowcd field;
The frost is on the pumpkin,
And the apples gcttin' eeled;
The farmers work is finished,
And some he's over-lopped
Awaiting for the shcckles,
When the Sugar Beets arc Topped.
It's flour. feed and money!
Yes. it's honey in the comb,
It's buildin' up the country.
And a-making us a home;
Where there's satisfying comfort,
For we'll all be warmly froekcd,
eve can all go up to Gran'paw's) ~
When the Sugar Beets are Topped.
There's shoes for all the youngsters,
And a gown for Rosy Ann,
There's lots for all the household,
(And we're asking Uncle Sam),
To come and scare the supper,
When the boys and girls have hoped
For, we're sure to lift the mortgage,
When the Sugar Bects are Topped.
The trees are touched with beauty,
And respondent everywhere,
The turkey birds arc strutting,
With n grand majestic air,
And the robin fingers longer,
just to tell us that he stopped,
To sing his farewell solo,
When the Sugar Beets are Topped.
So the SHOWS may come in winter,
For there's feed and fodder in,
And Rosy, dear. is smiling.
At her sweetheart, in the glim;
There's a-hxing and a-fussing,
For the question he has popped.
There's a job for Father Brady,
When the Sugar Beets are Topped.

light undertaking to secure the home for
this city. but they believe that Rocky
Ford with its unequalled climate is the
ideal place and they are prepared to
offer every inducement to the committee
having IN charge the selection Of the
state home site.
Following Is the committee appointed
by Rocky Ford Lodge: M. L. Meyer,
F. Y. Hauek. A. c. Sloan. J. H. Worsley

ity for such and such bill. The unbusi-
nssslike methods shown caused the

WEEKS ADJUSTMENTS
Two Good Shows and q Splendid
Enferfalnment.

One Of the largest houses Of the pre-
sent show season enjoyed splendid pro-
duetion at the Grand on Saturday night,
when "A Gentleman from Mississippi
was presented by an excellent company.
The play. which is written by mas
ter hand. depicts incidents in the life Of a
fat and big hearted Mississippi senator
who Is unversed in politics and has =
rather strenuous time in defeating the
efforts Of his party leaders to Zine MIN
up" for some shady legislation they wish
TO put through. 1t Is full Of action and
intensely interesting at all times.
James Laekaye as Senator Langdon"
fitted his part to perfection and Ct course
was the star Of the show. The entire
company was excellent, with the possible
exception Of Osborne Searls as bud
appeared new to the character and did
not act his part as naturally As the rest.
Despite the counter attraction Of the
Star Entertainment Course at the Pres
bytsrian church the same evening there
was a good-sixed crowd at the Grand on
Monday night, when Texas" was wit
messed by an apprsciativs audience.
This stirring drama Of Westetn life Is
being presented by an exceptionally
strong company this season. and those
who had witnessed the production last
season were well plAassd that they had
not allowed this to deter them from
again seeing this splendid play.
An immense crowd greeted the Whit
nsy Brothers Quartet, the first number
Of the Star Entertainment Course. in the
Presbyterian church on Monday evening.
The singing Of the quartet was good.
but the solo work was more appreciated
by the audience. The reader. Edwin
Whitney was easily the favorits. as he
kept his audience eonvulssd with laugh
ter during his selections.
The committee in charge Is to bs con-
graduated on the success Of the Arst
number Of this course and the Enterprise
expresses the hope that the other num-
bers will prove as pleasing.
