levy was fixed at seven mills, with an
additional one-twentieth mill for library

A very pleasant and profitable meeting
of the members of the board and the
teachers of the district was held in the
High school building on n-Friday night of
last week. A short musical program was
rendered. remarks were offered, and a
free discussion Of school interests was
held. The use of the opaque projection
of the new Balopticon was demonstrated
In the Science room, and the wider pos

The inclement weather of Saturday
night brought much disappointment to
the student body in the High Scheol. as a

invitation to the Old Boys of the state of
Colorado to come to the Springs for their
sixth annual conference. Their invitation
has Just been accepted and plans started

state on Dec. S. 6 and z.
For number Of years sectional con-
ferences have been conducted by the

ense will be held and opportunity will be
given the leading boys of the Arkansas
Valley. Northeastern Colorado and the
Western Slope to ioin with the Middle
Section conference. which is the Oldest in

unifying of aim and purpose. Doubtless
this conference will usher in new era
in boys work in Colorado. Can there be
a more worthy object than to help our
young Hiei " ossoii eiie hhshcos eJPc VI
manhood? This is the aim Of the confer
ence.
The chief speaker Of the conference
will be Mr.. David R, Porter. international
High School Boys Secretary of New
York City. assisted by other leaders in

ughout the country, and is eminently cap
able of directing the great forces among
our Old Boys for clean living and noble

SOME POST CARD
Required to Carry riessage to Roy
Lee and His Bride

Last Saturdays Denver Times has a
former well-known Rocky Ford young
man as principal of the following story:
1.-The largest postal card ever sent
through the Colorado mails was handed
to E. 3. Bennett, clerk of the Kaserhof
hotel. yesterday morning. Tho card was
of wood. two feet long and six inches
wide, and addressed to Mr.. and Mrs. Roy
D. Lee. who were married in Pueblo. and
stopped at the Kaiserhof on their honey
moon,
Before the card arrived, the couple
had left Denver, and although Bennett
tried to put it in a mail box and forward
it to them. the card wouldn't fit. He hung
it over his desk. but the inscriptions,
May all your troubles be little ones. and
BE good to one another brought so many
remarks from those who noticed 1t that
he placed it out Of sight under the count
er. Later it was forwarded to the new
lyweds.
Thirty-four stamps were required 10

card sent along with the wooden newly

Auto Trucks by Carload

A carload of scto trucks consigned to
Charlie Cartwright. the REQ agent, is ex-
pected to reach town today, evidencing
the fact that the day of the dray horse
and transfer wagon is about at an end.
In the consignment is a fine 1914
model auto truck for J. J. Blinn, who
will have the first of these vehicles for
public service in Rocky Ford. A little
over two years ago Mr.. Blinn started
baggage and transfer business in this
city with an old nag and ramshackle
wagon and by being always ION the job"
he has built up business requiring this
modern method of transportation-a
record of which he may well be proud.
Others whose auto trucks are in this
carload are J. 3. Hunt. E. E. Livesay
and W. r. Coyle. and there is one more
for which three different parties are try
ing to dispose of their nags SO that they
may acquire the ownership.

BAD MAN GETS HIS
iff, With Disastrous Results
to Tom

At last our famous bad man got what
was coming to him. and as result he
may have a sufficient period in Jail to
reach realization of the fact that IN the
long run 1t doesn't pay to carry a chip
on your shoulder. For it always hap
pens-as it did with Tom Supener on
Monday-that the would-be bad man
will bump up against the wrong party
and be left in a condition that calls for a
session in the hospital.
Since the hearing which was held here
a couple of weeks ago in case against
him for assault In which the jury failed to
agree, it has been the intention of the
deputy district attorney to take the rest
OF the cases before the county court and
plans have been made to this effect.
Supener had heard this was the in
tention and he sent word to Sheriff Alex
Yant that it he had warrant for him
all he had to do was notify him and he
would come to La Junta and save the ex-
pense Of service here.
Monday Supener was notified that two
sheriff. Monday afternoon he appeared
at the courthouse in the county seat and
according to the statement of Sheriff
Yant and others in the building at the
time. he first visited the office of Judge
E. w. Mcdaniel where he heaped some
abuse on the head Of the judge and from
there he went to the Office of County
Treasurer Ben Wilson. where he again
poured forth TRADE Of abuse and next
he visited the sheriff's office and upon
entering the room locked the door be-
hind him and without addressing word
to Sheriff Yant he walked to where Un-
dersheriff Charles Steward was sitting
and with an oath he struck the officer
and the fight was on.
Supener put up so much Of battle
that the officer was compelled to use
more force than is usual in such cases.
and before he had succeeded in quietine
the bad man" he had given him what in
real English would be known as good
thrashlng.
When Supener had~been subdued he
was locked up and the usual quiet of the
office restored.
New informations will now be fled
against Supener. which with the cases
already on file against him. will give him
considerable to answer for and beside
all other troubles he is under a peace
bond that will make it harder to answer
to the court.

GOOD ROADS
' '''HH Talk FEST
Road Builders of State Hold
Convention in Pueblo
HALF-MILL TAX LEVY
FOR ROAD BUILDING FUND
Favored by Delegates to the Con-
vention and VIII Be Up to
Voters at 1914 Election


About 300 delegates gathered
from almost every county in the
state and comprising actual road
builders, commissioners and
others vitality interested in the
building of good roads spent the
first three days of this week in
Pueblo in attendance at the first
annual convention Of the State
Road Builders association.
The convention was called to
order Monday morning by Thomas
J. Ehrhart of the State Highway
commission, who in his opening
address, told of the motives which
had prompted the calling of this
convention and what he expected
it to accomplish.
"We have had enthusiastic hot
air conventions galore, but this is
the first real road builders con-
vention ever held in this state"
declared Ehrhart in his opening
remarks. "You are the workers
the men who actually do things,
who are gradually working out Il
system of real actual roads on and
out of the earth, instead of paper
projections drawn with fash of
the lead pencil across the rugged
old face of Colorado"
The State Highway department
is only cog in the wheel of road
construction and its only desire is
to be of benefit to counties work
ing out a system of road building
to make Colorado the mecca of
tourists of the world and the abid-
ing place of our scorched neigh
bors of the South and East, ac-
cording to Ehrhat.
This good roads feature, it was
cont ended, also will be of immense
value to Coloradoans themselves
from the standpoint Of the traffic
of the farm, the mine and neigh
borly intercourse. Good roads is a
theme upon which there can be no
disagreement-e everybody wants
them.
The fact that some of the states
finest roads are ornamented by
few trees was deplored at the
Tuesday morning session and for
this condition remedy was at
once advanced.
1t was pointed out if the county
commissioners of each county
would make provisions for every
road overseer to begin setting out
trees along the state highways,
within n short time the best known
thoroughfares of the state would
be lined for greater part of their
distance with trees that would
not only be ornamental but pro-
vide a comforting shade at the
same time.
Leonard E. Curtis president of
the Colorado State Good Roads
association, and a member of the
state advisory board, delivered an
interesting address on History OF
Road Development" He out
lined briefly the history of road
construction in England, Germany
and France, and quoted from
Spanish writer's of the roads dis
covered in Peru, the land of the
Incas. After following out his
subject to the present era, Mr..
Curtis made tentative suggestion
to the effect that special tax
should be imposed at once to
create a fund for road construc-
ton.
On Tuesday afternoon Warden
lyman of the penitentiary at
Canon City was the principal
speaker. He stated that he favor
ed investing the state highway
