LOCALS LARRUP LA JUNTA
Visitors Put Up Stiff Argument But
Succumb at the Finish

Rocky Ford came from behind last
Sunday and defeated La Junta in game
that was marked by both good and bad
playing by score of 6 to s.
The visitors have been playing but a
few weeks and showed considerable class
proving that they will have to be reckoned
with when the rough edges of their work
are worn off.
Yeager was in the box for La Junta
and twirled shut-out ball for six innings
but weakened in the seventh and eighth.
He was opposed by jackson who was a
little unsteady in the early innings but
soon settled and had the visitors COM
pletely baffisd the rest Of the way. The
game was filed with fielding features
but the most sparkling play was by
Maxwell who made diving one e-handed
catch back Of first robbing big Liz" Hill
of at least two-bagger.
La Junta did all their scoring in the
second inning when two hits and walk
and some slow fielding netted three runs
The locals threw away chances to count
in both the first and second by poor judg-
ment on the paths and it was not until the
seventh that they registered at the home
station.
In the seventh Yeager became wild and
some costly errors were made by the
visitors netting two scores for Rock y
Ford.
In the eighth doubles by c. Swink and
Smith, singles by jackson and Moore with
an error by Butcher. gave the locals four
more and settled tha issue.
This was probably the last game on the
home lot until August 10th when Manz-
anola will be entertained.

CROP OUTLOOK
never BETTER
Arkansas Valley Will Reap
Bumper Harvest This Year
SAYS INDUSTRIAL AGENT
/ OF SANTA FE RAILROAD
About 5000 Acres In CantaIoupes
Which are Maturing NlceIy-Ship-
ment VIII Begin About Aug.


w. o. Skinner of the Santa Fe
railrosd-than whom there is no
man better posted upon industrial
conditions hereabouts returned to
Pueblo on Monday from careful
canvass of crop conditions in the
Arkansas Valley, and he makes
public ths decisive opinion that
the outlook for bumper crops is
immensely better than it was at
this time last year.
He says: "There never were
such crops of small grains as are
to be seen in the valley at the
present time and all in the very
best of condition.
There was plenty of moisture
the first of the season and the can
taloupes and sugar beets are far
ther advanced than at corres-
ponding time last year aud in most
fields are in the pink of condition
with every prospect of the largest
crop ever known. While a great
deal of this is due to favorable
conditions part of it is due to the
progressiveness of ne farmers,
who will now realize the benefits
to be derived from intensive farm
ing and the proper care Of their
crops.
Over 4, 100 acres of cantaloupes
are being grown along the lines OF
the Santa Fe through the Arkan-
sas valley, and the growers state
that the crop is fully ten days
ahead of last year and that ship
ments ought to begin Aug. l. Last
year the first shipment over the
Santa Fe did not leave until Aug.
IL.
This year the demand for Colo
RADIO cantaloupes is greater than
ever in the history Of the state
and already many of the repres-
entatives of the largest buyers of
New York, Philadelphia and Chic
ago are in the field making con-
tracts for the delivery of the lus-
ious fruit which it is conservatively
estimated will bring the grower
some 100000.
The beet acreage down the valley
this year will total over 10000
acres which is fully IL per cent
greater than last year. Last season
the farmers in Otero county re-
ceived for their sugar be It's
$3.50. 900 and there is little doubt
but what a million dollars this
year is conservative estimate of
what they will receive.
In all there never was a brighter
outlook for the valley and the
only thing that the farmer has to
fear now is the hail or continued
showers that will rust the canta-
loupes.'

eGIVE GLAD HAND
TO The TOURIST
Recommended at Saturdays
Meeting of Farmers Club
CREATE FAVORABLE CON-
MENT WITH BEST OF ROADS
Asked to Make Exhibit
at Colorado Industrial Exposition
in New York Next November

at Colorado Industrial Exposition
in New York Next November
The regular meeting of the
Otero County Agricultural associ-
alton was held Saturday afternoon
and was well attended.
The meeting was called to order
by President Dye and after the
record of the last meeting had
been approved an invitation from
the Wichita Fair association to
send an exhibit to their exposition
was read and the secretary in
structed to write the association
regarding the reception of last
year.
Representative o. W. w g t
opened the subject ''What can the
Farmer do for the Tourist?" His
remarks were of most interesting
nature and he made suggestions
of many things that might be done
to benefit the tourist, who in turn
would boost for the county that
had the best in the line of roads;
we'll kept fields with the weeds cut
both inside and outside the fence;
markers that the tourist may know
the direction and the distance, and
the speaker advocated the erection
of bulletin boards at the several
stations in the county which shall
tell the tourist who travels by
rail what the county is doing in
the line of agriculture. He beiiev-
ed that one of the best things to
advertise the county was for the
fruit raisers to take great pains to
see that none but the best of the
product goes to the market. He
hoped that the farmer would
always receive the tourist with
glad hand and would tell them in
no unmistakable terms of this
Gland of Paradise"
Mayor Coffman, John Edgar and
o. j. Baxter were the other speak
ers on the subject and all of them
hoped that the new weed law that
went into effect on the 18th of this
mouth would be enforced to the
letter.
G.. E. Hosmer of Fort Morgan,
who is an acting director for the
Colorado Industrial Exposition to
be held in New York the coming
fall, was present and urged that a
committee be appointed to see the
county commissioners regarding
an appropriation for the making
of an exhibit from this county.
After some discussion and on
motion ofMayor Coffman the ch ir
appointed the five directors and
they are to report at the next
regular meeting.
The county appropriation for
advertising has already been
promised by the commissioners,
one-half, to the Otero County
Agricultural association and the
other to the Southern Colorado
Immigration bureau, 80 that the
appropriation if made will no doubt
be from the contingent fund.
j. w. Lake of Waldo, Kan, was
visitor at the meeting and upon
invitation from the chair spoke OF
the wonderful things he had seen
during his visit in this county, and
stated that while they had good
things in the line of agriculture
back in Kansas he had never seen
such oats, beets, etc, as he had
seen here. He paid high com.
pliment to the club regarding the
exhibit and the work for the bene
fit of the farmer that they were
doing.

IT'S NEVER TO LATE TO MEND.

Hillsboro Tex, March 20.-Heirs of
the late Judge Abbott of this place,
were advised today that the estate had
been increased unexpectedly by $3.50.
While Judge Abbott was a member OF
the house of representatives, many
years ago, he lost a pocket-Pook con-
tanning fifteen dollars in bills and
fifty cents in postage stamps. Recent
ly a negro, at that time janitor in
the house Of representatives, returned
the pocket-book and the $3.50, ex-
planning that he had found the money
at the time of the loss and the fact
that he had failed to return it to the
owner had been on his conscience ever
since. The amount was formally
turned over to the heirs of Judge Abb
bolt at their annual business meeting
today. ~

The Lomo theatre will exhibit, Satur-
day. March %, a grand production of |
"Parsifal', tragic poem, which has |
been immortalized by the music of
Richard Wagner and is known through
out the world as an operate master
piece. ..........
The Lomo orchestra will render
music from the original operate score
during the presentation of this magni-
ficent subject.
The opening of the film shows us the
passing of the procession of the
Knights of Monsalvata, who go to
venerate the st. Graal, the cup in
which is kept the holy blood of Christ.
They arrive at the temple, where the
Bishop appoints Amfortas as guard
ian of the st. Graal, saying to him,
This cup will make you invincible
if you will keep it pure"
The magicians Kingsoor and Kon-
drie suddenly appear and together con-
spire to make Amfortas sin. The
next scene shows the trick of the two
magicians and how successful they
were in causing Amfortas to sin, which
makes him unworthy of the office as
guardian of the st. Graal. Amfortas
is punished by God by a mysterious
illness and his suffering causes him
to confess to the Bishop his fault. They
both kneel and praying God to pardon
him and appoint worthy successor.
They are rewarded by seeing a vision
of Parsifal.
At that moment Parsifal is awaken
ed by an angel and feels that he has
been appointed to a great mission,
and making his way to his home tells
his old mother of his vision. The next
scene shows Parsifal learning the laws
of Knighthood and the use of arms
handed to him by his mother. We
again see the two magicians plotting
to find the chosen Knight and they
using the magic looking glass see re
