High School Finds Itself and Wins
From Fort Lyon Sailors.

With the season drawing to close
and not one victory and but two
touchdowns to their credit the whole
season, the local team went into the
game Saturday with determination
that could result in nothing but a
victory. By fighting every inch of
the way against their. heavier oppon-
ents they were able to secure the
only touchdown that was made dur
in gthe game. The only event that
cast a gloom over the otherwise hap
py rooters was the accident that oc-
CURED during the early part of the
game when Jerry Cover sustained a
dislocated and badly fractured elbow.
The Sailors kicked off to the High
School, who carried the ball back
twenty yards for the first down. Then
after series of line plunges and two
beautifully executed forward passes
the locals wer able to carry the ball
making the score ? to in favor OF
the High School and so it remained
the rest. of the game The Sailors
outweightcd the local team twenty
five pounds to the man. but because
they lacked condition and training
they were unable to use their weight
to much of an advantage. The High
Schools goal was not in danger I'm
til the last few minutes of play when
their opponents succeeded in getting
within ten yards of the goal.

and Give Thanks on Nations

The spirit of Thanksgiving time
has been most manifest in Rocky
Ford during the past week-as it
we'll should be when we who re-
side in this ideal city of homes
remember the blessings with
which this portion of the beauti-
full Arkansas Valley has so signal
ly been favored.
We had much to give thanks
for this year-as the Enterprise
foreshadowed last week when we
told of the big A. B. s. Co. pay
days and the vast sum 80 ,oppor-
tunely distributed in advance of
Thanksgiving day. We are surely
living in the best and most pros
porous country in the world. Ours
is the best state in the country. The
Arkansas alley is the garden spot
of the state and our city is the
most productive center of the
valley. We reside in the cheeriest
and best little city in the best
state of the best country on earth /,
30 why shouldn't we return
thanks?
And there were many more
reasons why the people of Rocky
Ford should observeThanksgiving
day more generally than usual
this year. Crops have been bount-
iful; business has fiourished, and
peace and prosperity has abound.

So while we we're yesterday
giving thanks for our benefits and
prosperous condition, under the
leadership of the most bene-
violent organization in the county
the Elks-Our poor and less
fortunate brethren were also re-
turning thanks in literal fulfill
ment of the Psalm "Blessed is he
that considereth the poor, theLord
will deliver him in time of
trouble"

at the Presbyterian church, where
services appropriate to the occa-

of the Methodist church.
In the afternoon the chief at.
traction was at the Fair grounds,
where splendid game of football
was pulled off, the contestants be-
ing the Rocky Ford Alumni and
the High School League team.
This has been II festal week
for the school children at least, be-
cause of their immunity from
study-and many gay parties have
marked its passing. With skating
parties, vicente roasts and the like
the week WAS sped to fitting
finale for the young people last
night, when sixteen young men,
