The Glenwood post., 1909-10-02

deal of attention and was perhaps en-
titled TO first prize was that from
'raughenbaugh mesa and Beaver creek.
This exhibit. which consisted of about
everything grown in the fruit and vege-
table line, was collected principally
by Dave Harlow who had just return
ed from the Pueblo state fair and who
is always enthusiastic as to the posi-
bilities of his particular section.
Then there was small exhibit of
fruit, grown by c. G. King of Divide
creek at an altitude of 6400 feet, which
would have done credit to some of the
old and acknowledged fruit sections of
the state.
A fine display of fruit was made by
the Rifle Land and Orchard company,
of which DIR. w. w. Tichenor is one Of
the leading members, and prominent in
this display was a plate of Ganos, the
real Ganos. which the doctor still in
sists are the real mortgage lifters in
,oioid liz II lt NtlS
obliged to confine his planting to one
variety he would unhesitatingly choose
the Gano and the bright red and highly
polished apples of this variety, attract
i've and prominent above all other va
| rieties and shining like mirror seemed
to give sanction to the remark of this
practical fruit grower.
J. C. Acklin had the best display of
vegetables on the ground. Pearson &
Sutherland had very creditable ex
hibit of dry farming products, their
potatoes, grown without any irrigation
| whatever, attracting special attention.
Mr. Stots and Dan Parker both had
very nice exhibits of honey, easily
proving what can be done in that line
The largest display of potatoes and
that showing the greatest number OF
varieties was made by the Carbondale
people and created much comment. The
specimens were well selected and made
fine appearance.
Many other exhibits We're in evidence
which we cannot stop to notice indi-
vidually, but can only say that the
products shown prove beyond any posi-
bility of doubt the wonderful fertility
of the soil in the Rifle section.
And the feed! Well. say. it canno.
be described but in the language of
the advertiser, "must be seen to be
appreciated. - Great tables burdened
with their loads of tempting apple pies
furnished sufficient evidence that Ri
he's female population devotes itself
to something besides politics and
''women IS rights
Rev. Horace Mann, bedecked in
white and bearing a sign which brand
ed him as the chief dispenser at tn
pie counter, assisted by cGtps Of
handsome young ladies, served pie and
coffee to the hungry crowds until they
would have no more. In fact, when the
process of mastication would lag to the
disappointment of the willing wait
resses, Horace would mount chair and
deliver his hearers sermonette. ex-
tolling the virtues of pie-apple pie
such as Rifle ladies know how to make.
The effect was magical and hundreds
of jaws would renew the attack and
the movement in pie was brisk again
for "A few minutes.
But despite the exhortations of the
eloquent preacher caterer and the be
witching smiles of the pretty madcns
there still remained enough pies to feed
a multitude of five thousand-or less
Many of these were taken dowIr to the
trains and given to the passengers as
a reminder of Rifles unique fete dav
How much of a reminder they
proved to be the Post cannot say as
the doctors have not all been heard
from.
Then as sort of pie settling feature
there We're numerous races and last on
the program base ball game between
the Rife and Glenwood school teams
which resulted in score of 13 to .
in favor of the visiting team. The day
was closed with dance and all unite
in pronouncing Rifles first Apple Pie
Day great success.
