Perry shows that in places where The movement has already started the rate of growth is much higher than the rate nt which it spreads in new localities. In other words tho actual results of the social center are more effective in getting public support than the words of its most enthusiastic champions.
 The work is setting on q more solid basis. seventy-one cities had, during the winter of lsl2-1s. paid workers for ecme form of social center activity. as opposed to ~ the previous season, and the amount expended in the main tenance of school centers has Rrown from s1ss.ss6 in 1912, to s324.s75 In Inc past year.

G. M. HALL is LEAVING
Prominent Irrigationist Goes to Twin
Falls Country to Take Charge of
Big Irrigation Project

According to news made public yes
terday the Arkansas Valley will shortly
loose it's best posted irrigationists, the
Arkansas Valley Fair association its
first and only secretary and this city an
influential citizen all in the person of
one man--G. M. Hall-who has accept
ed responsible position with one of
the largest irrigation projects in Idaho
the Salmon River Irrigation Co. of
the Twin Falls country-and will leave
to assume his new position as soon as
he can arrange his affairs.
Nearly a quarter of century ago
Gilbert M. Hall came to Rocky Ford
and assumed the positions of superin-
tendent and secretary of the Rocky
Ford Canal, Reservoir, Land. Loan and
Trust Co. Commonly known as the
High Line Ditch co., which dual posi-
ton he occupied until a few months ago,
when he accepted the more lucrative
Irrigation District. He was rapidly
getting affairs in shape for the Hol-
brook people when very flattering
offer was received from the Salmon
River company to take charge of their
irrigation system in the Twin Falls
country. This new position allows Mr..
Hall full scope for his executive and
constructive ability, and so after care
full deliberation he accepted the offer
and has given the Holbrook people no.
tice to get a man for his old job as
soon as possible.
Not only as an irrigation expert-in
which capacity he was recognized as
one of the best posted men in the West
but as citizen who has always been
identified with the best interests of
Rocky Ford will G. M. Hall be greatly
missed, but we realize that he has out
grown his Arkansas Valley environment
and with the best grace at our command
wish him the success to which he is
entitled in the broader field to which he

Rocky Ford Gets Three Points In
State Track and Field Meet

Boulder, Colo, May IS Greeley high
school was victorious in the State In
terscholastic track and field meet at the
winning total of 2315 points. In spite
of the rain of the previous evening and

the meet was fast and competition was
keen. An audience of 5000 people
witnessed the events. Roderick, of
Greeley, was the individual star, win
ming l5l2 points. Reed of Boulder won
second place getting 8 points. Reed
established record for the javelin
throw, of 162 feet, 6 inches. This is
the first time the javelin was used in
state interscholastic circles, but the

as the worlds record is but III feet.
On account of the mud, no other records
were broken.
Rocky Ford high school had the only
''look in from the lower Arkansas
Valley, Julian Maier taking third place
in the broad jump and fourth in the
high jump. The meet closed with the

GOOD ROADS PETITIONS
Are Being Signed Quite Generally
Over the State

That Colorado people are much in
terested in the good roads question, and
further that they believe that by con-
'structing permanent system of high
ways in this state, they are aiding in
developing the great natural resources
of Colorado is evidenced by the reports
being received regarding the initiation
of the bill for the half mill levy for
good road purpose.
These petitions are now being sent to
the Colorado Good Roads association in
Denver from the various counties where
they have been circulated. Morgan
ounty has sent in eight petitions to
date, and FL Paso county alone has thus
far sent in petitions bearing more than
1000 names.
During the latter part of this month
many good road meetings will be held
and at these meetings the half mill levy
bill will be the, principal topic of dis
cussion.

AID FARMERS CLUBS
State Fair Management to Offer Inn
pOrtant Prizes

The Colorado State Fair management
sees great good to the farmers in the
organization of neighborhood clubs and
to foster these organizations. Secretary
Beaman states that three special prizes
have been arranged for the competition
at the coming state fair between these
clubs.
One division at the fair will be for
these competitive exhibits between
neigbborhood clubs and the premium
list will say-"For the best general
agricultural exhibit by any farper's $
neighborhood club: First prize, $6 in
gold; second prize, $25 in gold; third
prize, SIS in gold.
During the past winter there has been
a number of these clubs organized in
Colorado and the above handsome prizes
will encourage the organization of more
of them. These clubs have much to do
with the business and social life of the
farmers and in making life on the farms
more pleasant. 1t is the object of the
state fair management to lend as much
encouragement to the farmers in their
local organizations as possible and to
help develop community pride.

WEEKLY MARKET REPORT
Colorado Lambs Bring Highest Price
in More than Year

Kansas City Stock Yards, May lS-
Fat cattle trade was disappointing to
sellers last week and medium and COM
mon steers sold 10 lower for the week,
choice steers almost steady, cows and
heifers 10 to 20 lower, stockers and
feeders barely steady. A run of 5000
head today did not disturb the condi-
tions established last week.
The Gebhart Colorados sold at $3.50
and the Riley Colorados at $8.65, 10
cents under sales of same cattle week
ago. Other Colorados sold downwards
to $S. Trade doctors say the fat cat
tie market has two diseases, one of
which is reduced consuming ability of
laboring classes, and abe other that
killers are getting a good many con-
tract cattle from distilleries south of
the Ohio, and from Pennsylvania feed
lots, and are therefore not disturbed
over continued light cattle receipts at
western markets.
Hogs are coming more plentiful in
the last week, and the market is
stronger, run 5000 today, market 3
higher, or Is cents above the low spot
last week. Top hogs sold at SS.47R
today, bulk $3.50 to SS.45. Supplies
since the first of May have been far
below expectations of killers, hence
the failure to put the campaign for IS
hogs through successfully.
Sheep and lambs are half a dollar
above a week ago, more in some cases.
Wooled lambs, near the last of the sea-
son, sold at 1925 and $3.50 today.
These, of course, are highest prices of
the year.
The Drover's Telegram of Friday
last contained the following of local in
terest: Lamb prices are still soaring.
With another heavy run of sheep to-
day top lambs brought SS.s5 the high
est price paid in more than year.
Beatty Bros. of Manzanola, Colo, who
topped the lamb market yesterday had
in today another shipment of over 700
head of 7l-pound lambs that sold for
SS.S5. The Bass Sheep company of
Rocky Ford, also marketed shipment
of several carloads of lambs at the
same price. SS.s5, which averaged 70
pounds, "
