Great Celebration
0nJulythe Fourth
Sister City Invites Entire Valley
to Be Her Guests on Day
of Patriotic Rejoicing

1.-The Glorious Fourth" which in
these trust ridden days is about the
only reminder that we have that at
one time Americans were free and
equal" is to be celebrated in royal
style this year at Rocky Ford. So far
as we have heard, this will be the
only celebration this year in the
valley and all the towns should unite
to make the affair credit to our
section Of the state. The festivities
will be held in the fair grounds,
which has a grand stand with a seat
ing capacity of 2 900 people, and will
include the flight of an airship by an
expert aviator, base ball games, horse
and foot races and other sports so dear
to the heart OF the average celebratoT.
About the biggest feature Of the
blowout will be the music furnished
by the recently organized Arkansas
Valley band, comprising all the bands
OF the valley from Pueblo to Holly,
and OF which II. @. Tiedemann OF
this city is president and Renfrew
d. Rhodes of Rocky Ford is director.
The day will undoubtedly be one OF
JOY uncontined, on which the eagle
will scream and twist the lions tail
and the American patriot will be
filled with enthusiasm and other
things-no, not In Rocky Ford. We
forgot that that is dry town. Any
way, there will be hot old time and
well all be there

HOSPITAL FOR MiDDLEBURY.
Unnamed Friend Offers TO Help
Towards Erection of q Hospital
for Addison County.

| 1t has become known in Middlebury
during the past week that an offer has
been made TO help substantially toward
the erection of hospital for Addison
county. if the necessary local co-opera-
tion can be secured. The physicians of
the town have been approached on the
subject, and all have announced them
selves strongly in favor of trying to
secure hospital at this time.
The offer is understood to be to pay
the architects commission on as large
and as good hospital as the people of
this vicinity think is necessary, includ-
ing all expense of preparing plans and
supervision of construction, and also
to provide a share of the cost of the
building. The exact proportion which
will be contributed has not been learned
but the architects commission alone
would amount to at least five percent
on the total cost of the building.
This means that if the people of Addi-
son county want hospital and will do
their part to get it, they can have it.
There is no doubt that a hospital is
greatly needed for the 20, 900 people in
this county, and that Middlebury is the
best place for its location. AS things
are now, patients who need hospital
treatment are taken usually to Burling-
ton, a railroad journey of 35 miles, to
say nothing of transportation at both
ends. This is a serious burden and
hardship, not only for the sick, but also
for their friends. If we had a hospital
in the county, our own doctors could
take care of their patients who need
hospital treatment and not be obliged
to place them n.the hands of strangers.
A great many cases can be better
treated in a hospital than elsewhere,
to say nothing of the saving in expense.
Many persons prefer to go to hospital
for treatment, especially when one is
conveniently located, and to the poor a
a well conducte hospital is God-send.
Whether Middlebury secures the
location of hospital here will depend
upon the interest taken in the matter,
but all who have thus far expressed
themselves have said that they were in
favor of seeing what could be done,
