Rocky Ford Invades Las Anlmas and
Defeats Self styled Champs
The Rocky Ford ball tossers. accom-
panied by $50 loyal rooters and the local
band, invaded Las Animas last Sunday
and evened up the account with the Bent
county athletes, bringing home the bacon
10 hotly contested game by score of
4 to 8.
The Las Animas team had a rabbits
foot buried near the home plate and did
all manner Of things in the line of voodoo
worshippers to swing victory their way
but all their inoantations and queer cere-
monies ayailed napght against the saliva
stunts Of Bernardo and they were moved
down inning after inning like wheat be-
fore the sickle.
The Las Aninas suggers did not drive
ball beyond the infield until the seventh
frame, and at no time was Bernard in a
very serious predicament.
Aside from Sylvie's pitching. the field
ing of Maxwell and Smith was brilliant,
while the hitting of Maxwell, Smith and
c. Swink was hard and timely.
The entire local team showed a re-
versal of form. which was most gratify-
ing to their supporters.
Galgano pitched fair article of ball.
but the locals reached him when hits
meant runs.
The first three sessions were runless
for both teams, but in the fourth, singles
by Maxwell. C. Swink, Smith and R.
Swink. in rapid succession. along with an
error by Turner. gave the locals four
scores.
In the fifth. Ray led If with single
and came all the way home from first on
Bernard's sacrifice bunt when Polly Kra-
mer. the diamond medal kid" pulled
rich bone by throwing to third with the
bag uncovered.
In the eighth. two hits. a fielder's choice
and an error by Turner. brought home
the fourth tally.
fourth on Greenhood's scratch infield hit
and three errors. Anotheo was made in
tine seventh on Lomasney's single down
the third base line, his steal of second and
Turner'S timely smash for one base.
In the eighth. Greenhood led off with
single and worked down to second. while
Clark and Kramer were being retired.
and scored on Herb Loves fine drive to
deep left for three cushions.
This ended the scoring for the day. and
a great cheer went up from the Rocky
Ford rooters when Yant caught Johnson's
fly for the final put-out of the game.

SUCCESSFUL
CHAUTAUQUA
Larger Crowds Assembled
Than Ever Before
CONTRACT SIGNED
FOR NEXT YEAR
Provided More Suitable Date Is diven
and We Have Choice of Talent
to Be Furnished


to Be Furnished
After series of disappoint-
ments-some of them foreseen and
others that just happened-our
most successful chautauqua, in the
way of attendance, closed Monday
night with the chautauqus spirit
in evidence and the assurance to
the Redpath-Horner chautauqua
management that Rocky Ford
would be in the chautauqua col
umn next summer if our local
committee of thirty was allowed
to choose the date and also given
some voice in the selection of
talent.
AS The Enterprise stated last
week, the first and main disap-
pointment was with the date of
our big amusement week, which
was upon time when our farmers
were very busy. Coupled with
this disappointment was the fact
that very few ''big guns" were fur
nished us this year, and through
unfortunate routing even these, in
the majority of cases, failed to ego
Off at the right time.
Along with all this, even the
weather man had to get his back
up and send us the worst storm in
years npon the evening that the
best musical number on the pro-
gram was at this point on the
circuit.
In the face of all this, it surely
shows that Rocky Ford is chau-
tauqua town when our people, in
spite of their encouragement,
worked up sufficient enthusiasm to
give the chautauqua management
the guarantee required for next
year.
On list Friday afternoon Father
Cronin opened the program with
pithy address upon what we
should read. He said that too
little attention is gwen to what
our boys and girls are reading,
poured some hot shot into the SELL
sational journals-with which he,
unfortunately, classed all weekly
newspapers, excoriated the yellow
backed novels, and, in fact. left
very little for profitable reading
except the good book.
He was followed by the Neapol-
itan Grand Opera Company, which
gave a splendid foretaste of what
might be expected from them that
evening.
But in the evening the big au-
dience assembled was doomed to
disappointment, as a storm, that
at times resembled a cloudburst,
settled down about the time for
the concert to begin, and it stayed
on the job until after midnight.
With the incessant downpoor upon
the roof of the grandstand and the
constant reverberation of thunder
claps, the four grand opera sing
ers could scarcely be heard, and
even the loudest music of the
eight-piece orchestra was drowned
at times, SO that the anticipated
enjoyment of this big feature did
not materislize and the crowd
made it's wet and bedraggled way
homeward whenever there was any
let-up in the storm.
On Saturday afternoon the larg-
est daytime audience of the week
; heard the most interesting and
profitable talk of the entire chau-
tauqua from Nels Darling, who
spoke on Community Interests"
and the only regret was that this
lecturer dropped in on us when
our business men could not be
present to hear him. This was u

useful labor.
Yours for progress in the school and

The state superintendent of public
instruction, Mrs. Josephine Preston,
has organized an association to be

These organizations and others who
have made school problems a study,

CLOUGH-HARTLEY COMPANY.

In the year 1907 small single mill
was started at the foot of Eighteenth
and Bayside. This little business
flourished and prospered with the
passing of each year until today it
stands as one of Everetts foremost
and strongest industries-the Clough-
Hartley Company, manufacturers of
red cedar siding and shingles. In
March of 1910, a sawmill was added to
the single enterprise making it COM
plete for its line of work. One hun
dred and sixty-five men are in the
employ of the Clough-Hartley firm
which has a yearly payroll of $175,-
900. This mills capacity, per day, is

leaving the Clough-Hartley manufac-
tory contains nothing but the very best
grade of shingles and siding, every
cut smooth and without flaws. What
a reputation has the Red Cedar

An Upstairs Clothing Store Just Start
ed In Everett-SpeciaIIy Catering to
Union Label Clothing for Men.

The idea of selling clothing upstairs,
while new in Everett, has been tried
out in practically all of the large cities
of the East and great many of the
coast cities, with good success.
Being upstairs the expenses are
naturally much less than they would
be on the ground floor and the con-
tention is that the merchandise can
be sold for less. The Sample Suit
Shop, as the Everett store is called,
is located over RELY Cooley Shoe
store and has opened up with an ex-
cellent line of suits and will carry a
complete line of overcoats, raincoats,
slipons, etc.
