TOMATO DAY AT lUPT0N
IS A RIOT OF FUN AND
FR0L|C FOR HUGE CROWD
Greeley Visitors Have Big Time at Races.--Lunch
Gives Out, But Everybody Is Happy--Captain
Macy Tries to Beat Chuck-a-Luck Game--Scrap
Over Ball Game is Added to the Program.
BY Mac, the Machine Man

A few days ago my kind en-
ployer presented me iwth a ticket
to Tracyville and return. He also
explained that he would like to have
me go down to the Tomato Day at
r'ort Lupton and cover" it for the
Tribune. That sure looked good.
Draw salary for ride on the cush-
ions to Tracyville. My boss said it
Lupton from where | left the Dem
ver-Laramie, and that autos would
haul the people over free. My ar
rival at Tracyville was really the be-
ginning of the Tomato Day celebra-
tion for me. A wheelbarrow at the
end of the depot was the nearest to
a conveyance to Lupton that was in
sight. mere were a half dozen
got off intending to be hauled over.
A pedestrian act followed, James
Lee, aged 70, winning. doing the
last lap on potato wagon he over
took The distance was only a lit
tie over two miles and as the dust
was not over nine inches at any
place it was =. real JOY to jog along
peaceful country roads and antici-
pate the big time coming. Contrary
to expectations my arrival was not
among strangers, as the first man
| met pinned half dozen Greeley
spuds on me and | recognized Nc
Crery (of Commercial club fame)
While listening to me band play
a selection on the principal busi-
ness corner | also watched Tom
Macy trying to 'bust" chuck-a-
luck man.
The first thing on the program
was the ball game between Lupton
and the Fort Logan soldiers. This
was all right while it lasted. With
the score to in the fifth inning
a difference of opinion over de-
cision resulted in forfeit of the
game to Lupton. There was quite
a little money up and it was a dis
to the crowd as nobody
seemed to know how to decide the
bets.
At the close of the ball game
the creased pole came in for atten-
ton. Most every kid in town took
a try at it but Harold Heskins was
the lucky one and reached the top
also the five dollars.
The 100 yard dash was won by
Ernest Standin of Lupton with a
Denver boy named Peters second.
Prof. Reid of Platteville did tim
ing and said it was III seconds. The
so yard dash was taken by Walter
Byron with Otis Cheeley a close
second The girls race had a big
entry and was won by Christina
Gregory with Leah Cneeley second.
The fat mans race was then an
but men must be like the
women, don't like to acknowledge
they are fat, so only three entries
were made. Nate Stover took the
money.
The crowd then moved up town,
where the start in the motorcycle
race to Platteville and back was
made. The crowd then formed in a
solid line over a block long and
passed by the feeding station. To-
ward the finish the grub" played

PREPARE FOR
HOMESEEkERS

In anticipation OF a very heavy
colonist movement to the Pacific
coast, September 15 to October Is.
the Denver & Rio Grande. in con-
nection with the Burlington, Rock
Island and Missouri Pacific on the
east. and with the Western Pacific,
Southern Pacific, San Pedro and
Oregon Short Line on the west, has
arranged for the most complete
through tourist car service ever in
augurated.
These cars will be operated daily
from Chicago. ST. Louis. Kansas
City. Omaha and Denver through to
San Francisco, Los Angeles and
Portland, and will number no less
than 60 per week, or 276 cars for
the four weeks. Besides these cars
regularly operated, indications are
that there will be a very large over
flow travel the first five days of the
movement as well as the last five
days. These cars will be handled
over the Denver & Rio Grande on
special schedule arranged to show
off the Rocky Mountain scenic at
fractions to best advantage.
The colonist movement last spring
via the Denver & Rio Grande aggre-
gated 20,05S passengers. and it is
anticipated that this fall the move
ment will be largely in excess of
that number.

RULES FOR
VOTERS ARE
STRINGENT
MARRIED WOMEN ARE CLASSED
WITH THEIR HUBBIES
SUFFRAGE NOT CONSIDERED
Uncle Sam Has Code of His Own
Relating to Foreigners Becom-
ing Citizens OF the Unit
ed States

Uncle Sam Is inclined to treat the
sugragists of Colorado with slighI
consideration when in comes to vot-
ing in 1912. Regulations that have
been compiled for the information
of foreigners who may desire to vote
contain a clause that says that If an
American woman marries foreign
man who is not fully naturalized
she loses her citizenship and is not
entitled to vote.
However sad this blow may be
to the pride of the suffrage contin-
gent, 1t Is painfully true, and there
are other regulations that are of in
terest having bearing on the next
general election.
For the benefit of the foreign
population OF Weld county the fol-
lowing list of regulations compiled
from the laws are printed:
No person born abroad can vote
who has not taken out his final nat
uralization certificate.
The wife of foreigner cannot
vote until her husband has secured
his final certificate of naturaliza-
tion.
An American born woman marry
ing . man who Is foreign born looses
her right to ovte until her husband
secures his final certificate of nat
uralization.
Any person who declared his in
tention to become citizen after
September, 1906, must petition for
final naturalization within seven
years from the date of his declara-
tion or he will have to re-declare his
intention as the first declaration be-
comes void seven years after the
date 1t was issued.
The naturalization of the husband
naturalizes the wife and all minor
children who were born abroad.
Any foreign born child who is
the naturalization of the parent
must declare his intention to be-
come a citizen and secure final
papers in the regular manner.
No married woman can become
naturalized except by naturaliza-
tion OF her husband. Should her
husband die before securing his
final certificate she can complete the
naturalization of herself and minor
children by making petition upon
the declaration of her husband
No alien can be naturalized who
declared his intention to become
citizen after September. 1906, who
is unable to speak the English lang
uage, except he should be physically
unable to comply with such rule or
is the holder of homestead entry
Under the public land laws.
1t will be advisable for all per-
sons who declared their intention
under the old law, prior to Septem-
her, 1906, to secure their final GER
tificate of naturalization IS soon as
possible, in order to avoid any rul-
ing that might be made relative to
the making of the rule making
declaration invalid after seven years
apply to all declarations made prior
to the enactment of the new law. III
such rule should be made, and there
is some chance there will be such
ruling, all persons holding declara-
tions made prior to September
1906, would have to redeclare their
intention ii they did not petition
for final naturalization before Sep
tember, 1913.
All aliens who arrived in the
United States after June 90, 1906,
must present certificate OF landing
together with their declaration
when they petition for final nat
uralization.

Love

This short month Of February
is rich in suggest:vness, possess
ing two patriotic anniversaries
and one sweet red letter day. sa-
cred TO love, Most of our own
ideals Of love were gotten, long
ago l confess. from fairy tails
aRd stories of old romance. and
| doubt if there could be better
source. / know few volumes
that viii teach one higher ideals
OF love than the old fat volume of
Grimm. l have it among those
books which have helped me
most and / read it often. Do you
know GTimm's lovely rendering
of The Soaring Lark? Here is
a love story and a high ideal of
faithful loving. If we Could be
as loyal AS the princess Of The
Soaring Lark. or if we could be
as dutiiul and patient as "Cinder-
rella". or as brave as the princess
in Beauty and the Beast, or as
faithful as the Goose Girl, or
as pure and beautiful aud lcvab.e
a Sleeping Beauty. II o W
worthy they all were Of love.
History and romance are tull of
noble women who knew how to
love. 1t is from such WON eli
that we need to get our ideals. 1t
is they who can ~beSt answer all
our questions regarding love; Is
love worth all the suffering that
comes with it? Ask. the little
princess OF The Soaring Lark"
Is it worth all the waiting2 Ask
Penelope. who waited SO long
for Ulysses. Is loves service a
blessed thing. whether loves full
earthly rewards aEe granted or
not? Ask the heroine of The
Cloister and the Hearth" Is
love worth all the dangers one
may have TO brave. all that one
must endure for its sake? Ask
Aicestis and Nicolette and doz-
en- Sthers who know. Is. it bet
ter than all the books or the
learning of all the schoo 81 Bet
ter than fame and all worldly
recognition? .Tennyson's "Prin-
cess" and Mrs Brownins's "Au-

chamber, up in a tower to the
East. guarded the sacred shield
