Under Auspices Of the Rocky
Ford Elks
AUTO.MOTORcYCLE RACES
SENSATIONAL SHOOTING
Birdman viii Fly In This City on
Saturday and Sunday, Now
ember and 8

For the first time in the history
of Rocky Ford our people will
have the privilege of seeing an
aeroplane flight without having to
travel many miles for that pur-
pose, according to arrangements
which were early this week COM
pIeted by Rocky Ford Lodge, No.
1147, B. P. o. E, under whose
auspices an aviation meet will be
held at the Fair grounds on Sat-
urday and Sunday, Nov. I and s.
The birdman that has been en-
gagged to moke the flights in this
city is Bill Heth, one of Berger's
worlds greatest aviators. who
with his Wright aeroplane has
been pulling off Sc nsational stunts
in Pueblo, Denver and other cities
throughout the West.
In addition to the aeroplane
flights the Elks have contracted
for added attractions such as ex-
hibition shooting by Capt. Hardy.
the worlds greatest expert with a
rifle, auto races, motorcycle races
and the like, so that everyone is
assured of all the amusement and
thrills that they can well take
care of, and as Publicity Man
Randel would say-it will be we'll
worth travelling miles to see.
The big aviation meet will be
heralded all over the valley dur
ing the next few days and should
the weather permit there is good
reason to believe that there'll be
a crowd in Rocky Ford on Nov.
and 8 second only to that Of
Watermelon day.

'It may be possible for senator
Patterson to win Wet Republicans
and hold Dry Democrats TO his stand
ard; time alone can settle the wisdom
of this palpablc attempt on his. part,
but the Senator's pledge TO strictly
enforce the laws. in case the state
should go dry, will bring cheer to the
hearts OF prohibitionists who recall
his sharp editorial rebukes directed
1t Assistant District Wayne c. Will
Jams. during the Turner's Convention
in June, 1918 At that time Senator
Patterson. then editor OF the Rocky
Mountain News. editorially criticised
Mr.. Williams seriously because he
would not give pledge in advance
not to enforce the laws of the state
and thus violate his oath OF othce.
Two years OF turmoil and litigation
and uncertainty would result over this
question with a party in power that
i was in open opposition to the meas
ure throughout the campaign. 1t
would be argued that the election OF
Mr.. Patterson was n direct acknowl.
edgment that the constitutional
amendment was not intended to be
enforced.
The Democratic party is some
generous. 1t proposes to give the
state to Patterson for a birthday gift
the beet sugar industry to Thomas to
trade for government jobs for his
| friends and relatives; and state sover.
eighty to the federal officeholders
who are trying 10 build up pcrma'
nent ownership and control of west
ern natural resources.
Thomas was only an accidental
senator anyhow. But lie has made
record of having done more harm
to Colorado in a short term than any
other senator ever did in a long
term.

SENATOR THOMAS
Talks to Smallest Audience that Has
Greeted ANY Candidate

Though spellbnder of note Charles
S. Thomas-w bears the record of
having done more injury to Colorado
interest than any other man during his
senatorial term-was greeted by the
smallest crowd that has turned out to
hear candidate this campaign when
he made his appearance in X. of p.
hall on Monday evening.
The frosty reception of crowd and
weather might be taken as Indicative of
the very patent fact that Senator
Thomas has shown himself to be en-
tirely out of touch and sympathy with
the desires and needs of the people of
his state and it was but forerunner
of the reception that is coming to him
on Nov. 3.
Emulating his worthy leader, W. j..
Bryan, who spoke here last week,
Thomas fought shy of all state issues.
The main trend of his address, as of
other Democratic speakers, was that
the Democratic president and congress
should be given vote of confidence for
what they have done since March A..
1918. OF course it did not require much
proof to convince his hearers that the
national Democratic party would like to
have Charles S. Thomas sent back to
Washington. But it is impossible to
find any reason why the people of Colo
RADIO should want him to go back.

several short addresses will be delivered
amongst the speakers being Revs.

Planting Fruit Trees.

The soil should preferably be In
good tilth before planting, and the
holes for the trees should be dug suf-
ficiently wide and deep to receive all
of the roots of the tree. The harder
the soil the wider and deeper the
holes should be.
Fill in with loose. mellow earth.
packing tho soil well around the roots.
Avoid using sod or any coarse mate
rial, or the leaving Of air pockets. as
either will cause a drying out around
the roots, which is detrimental to the
tree. Use care and you will be repaid
with a good stand of trees.

Myriads heated in their praise

Personal freedom.
To the youth on manhood's BRINK
Personal freedom
We can wreck a budding life.
We can crush the loving wife.
We can stir up woe and strife.

We can food the state with crime
Personal freedom.
We can blight it for all time
Personal freedom!
Let US throw aside our laws,
For they block the sacred cause.
And just govern by the clause

FL RF'
At Wythe News Stand Does
Considerable Damage

A flue, consisting of practically no
more than a hole In the wall, caused
fire in the news stand Of William
Wythe of West High street Monday
afternoon, shortly after 8 o'clock. The
fire department kept the flames from
spreading to adjoining buildings and
stopped their progress in the news
stand before much damage was done.
Practically all of Mr.. Wythe's stock
was carried out By by-standers.
The property damage, estimated by
Mr.. Clayton Bishop, the owner, will
amount to about s75. No insurance is
carried. Part of the roof and front of
the building we're knocked in by the
flremen in checking the flames.
This fire is the third in two days
and, Mt. Vernon superstition has it, will
be the last for some time to come, so
property owners may rest content
from the thought Of any damage by
fire.
