HER POEMS PRAISED.
Former Rocky Ford Girl is to Pub
lish a Book,

Enterprise readers who are ac-
quainted with Miss Genevieve Larson,
a former Rocky Ford girl who about
a year ago had several articles from
per pen published in this paper. will
be interested in the following from
the Pueblo Star Journal of last Sun
day:
Her work favorably criticised by
James Whitcomb Riley. the celcbrat-
ed and widely-read 'Hoosier poet.
DIR. r. w. Corwin. well known as a
student and lecturer, and others. Miss
Genevieve Larson OF Pueblo is rap
idly attracting attention and her
verses are being printed by various
publications.
Miss Larson,a young woman of not
only exceptional ability. but laudable
versatility and capacity for hard
work, has not been writing long, but
during the past two years she has
turned out several hundred poems,
verses and jingles. and soon will pub
iish book that is expected to attract
mere than ordinary interest. 1t is 4
volume for school children in verse
form. and those who have read some
of the manuscript are certain it will
meet with much success. They are
waiting for the book to leave the
presses with undisguised interest. eN-
pecting that its appearance will stamp
the author as young woman worthy
of place in the literary world-a po-
sition to which she aspires.
Miss Larson is a teacher in the
county schools. During the coming
term she will instruct in the school
at Rye. and amid the beautiful sur
roundings of that prettily situated
village she expects to do some eNcep-
tional work.
Recently Miss Larson has penned
two short poems which she took the
pains to submit to Messrs. Riley, Cor
win and others. The Indiana poet
complimented and congratulated the
Pueblo young woman and urged her
TO continue in her present vein.'
The Pueblo Chieftain of the same
date contained the following poem:
My Laddie.
oh would You come back to me. lad
die,
Come as you used to do.
With your brown curls dancing glad
ly,
And love in the heart of you.
You would tell of the Infinite wonder
OfNthat Child Land far away,
OF the spirits that are your play
mates,
And OF all the games you play.
Have you playground. laddie,
With toys and soldiers your own
Have you some one to call daddie,
In the land to which you've flown?
Or do you journey. the long day
With no one to clasp your hand,
With no one to tell you the secrets
OF that mystic, spirit land?
Are there birds and fairies and elfins,
To keep you company,
And do they rock you at twilight,
And soothe you to dreams OF me?
Do you feel the sting of my heartache
And do you miss me. too?
oh laddie. the days are so long, dear.
That bring no message from you.
oh would you come back TO me, lad
die.
My wish, | know. would come true,
That you'd take me by the hand. lad
die,
And I'd journey back with you.

as each of these nationalities has dis
tinct method in handling wild horse.
The Cossack saddle is high, and the stir
rups exceptionally short. The purpose
of this can be readily understood when the
diminutive size of the Russian ponies is
realized. The high saddle and short ST r

ADVICE BY AUSTIN
Inspector Makes Good Sngges-
tons to Dairymeu
U RGfS CLEANLINESS.
Practical Proposition for Owners OF
Dairy Herds to See That Things
are RIGHT

If the reputation of Minnesota as a
state of local and CO operative cream
cries is to be maintained the farmers
must give the cream better care on
the farm.
When | drive out i'm the country
during the day and nine times out Of
ten find the mornings cream sitting
around the kitchen uncooleG, and abb
solutely uncared for / wonder that
our creamery butter is as good as it
is
All utensils and separators should
be washed with a brush and scalded
at once after using and placed in the
sunlight and fresh air. Many dairy
men are careless about their utensils.
Just recently a prominent farmer
O f this vicinity sent cream to the To-
cal creamery in a can almost black
with rust on the inside. The law
specifies that cans used for this pur-
pose shall be free from rust.
saw a can Of cream yesterday that
was so contaminated with barn as TO
he almost sickening. This is caused
by dirty cows, dirty milking and al
lowing the milk to remain i n the
barn too long.
Immediately after separating the
warm cream should be set in cold wat
er and stirred occasionally while cool
ing. This little matter of stirring
is very important. None Of the cream
offered for sale is stirred enough.
We hear lot about losing money
milking COWS that are snot producing
what they should which is very true.
But the loss is inst as great, due to
the fact that the farmers do not prop
erly care for the cream before delivery
to the creamery.

EARLY CLOSING
Sank Ceatre Storekeepers Give
Clerks Their Evenings

Three of the leading merchants of
Sank Centre have decided to close
their stores at o'clock p. m. and
thus give themselves and their clerks
an opportunity to enjoy the fine even
ings of spring and summer. Others
will doubtless follow suit. In fact,
some of the stores have been closing
at $50 p. m. for some weeks past. 1t
is believed that a number of mer-
chants who have not signed the agree
ment will join in the movement.
Here follows the agreement that has
been signed by the three stores in
question::
