SOLDIERS REMAINS ARRIVE
VIII Be Laid at Rest In Valley View
Cemetery on Sunday

The remains of Guy f. Bennett
whose death from blood poisoning oc-
CURED in the Philippine Islands on Sept.
80, as reported in The Enterprise some
time ago reached this city yesterday,
and will be given Christian burial in Val
ley View cemetery on Sunday.
Guy Bennett was the son of Mrs. Ella
Bennett Nelson and grandson of George
McD. Osborn, and was well known in
this city and in Holbrook, where his
boyhood years were spent. In February
last he enlisted at Pueblo and shortly
afterward went to Manila, P. l., as a
member of Co. c., Eighth U. S. In
fantry. Upon being informed of his
death his mother requested the Army
and Navy department that his remains
be sent her, and the response was very
prompt.
Funeral services will be conducted in
the Methodist church at 2:30 p. m. on
Sunday by DIR. Warner, and interment
will be under the auspices of Wadsworth
Post, G. A. r., and the w. r. C.

POULTRY THE
NEXT ATTRACTION
Second Annual Show First
Week in December
PREMIUMS HAVE
BEEN INCREASED
And Indications Are that Number of
Entries VIII be Double that
of Last Year

The premium lists for the sec
ond annual show of the Rocky
Ford Poultry association are being
distributed this week and to every
one interested they convey the in
formation that the amounts offer
ed for prizes are more than double
that of last year.
According to the report of Sec
retary Wilson, inquiries are com.
ing in from all parts of the state
and the indications are that the
entries will be increased in pro-
portion 70 the increase in prem
iums, which would bring the num-
bsr OF birds exhibited this year
above the five hundred mark, and
acting>upon his advice the asso-
citation has made arrangements to
accommodate 500 birds.
The second annual show will be
held in the Otero Agricultural
Club rooms on Dec. l to 5 and
ID. A. Stoner of Golden will be the
Judge while j. A. Robinson will
be the superintendent in charge of
the show room.
The Judging will be by score
card and. with an expert like
Judge Stoner-who has been
poultry judge for % years-a
score card should be worth more
than the entry fee to every fancy
breeder. 1922 ~
To all prospective exhibitors
the information is impaired that
all entries close at noon on Tues
day, Dec. l, and birds must be in
the show room at that time, but it
would be advisable not to wait un-
til the last moment and send your
entry to [. L. Wilson, the secre-
tary, right away.

dow is devoted to apples, another to
wheat, another to oats, another to sugar

all crops being shown. The interior of
the store is also decorated by expert
hands with the same materials, and as
one enters the store it reminds him of
the good old days back on the farm in
the midst of plenty.
The Colorado Fruit Growers auxiliary
committee urges that other business
houses in Colorado take up the plan
and suggestion which has been made by
the Joslin Dry Goods company of Den

do wonderful amount of good for the
fruit growers of Colorado, who are de-
pending upon their patriotic and public
spirited fellow citizens to come to their
relief this year.

lage the missionary, passing through,
had left a few pages Of the gospel in
the Indian tongue. Our Indian read
and rejoiced. Measuring the mission
ary's footprint, he fitted 1t with mag
nificent moccAsins. and travelled 200
miles to give them to the missionary
as an expression of his gratitude.
Thus the missionary was enriched by
the present, but the Indian was en-
riched by the thanksgiving.
The best thanksgiving is a happy
heart. Blossoms mean nothing on a
dead stick. Once when the car Wis.,
tied Paris the ingenious French, 1t
being winter, fastened to the bare
boughs of the trees innumerable paper
flowers, very pretty as spectacle. but
very unworthy as a symbol, since they
were false. Our praise will be quite
valueless unless it is rooted in the
daily life.
Train yourself to be grateful for the
common blessings. There had been a
great cotton famine in Lancashire,
England. For lack of material to
work upon, the mills had been idle
for months. and there was great dis
tress among the operatives At last
came the first wagon-load OF cotton.

over QUARTER
MILLION DOLLARS
Was Paid This Week by
Rocky Ford Factory
SUGAR BEET GROWERS
ARE FEELIyG HAPPY
People of Rocky Ford Have Good
Reason to Celebrate Thanksgiv-
ing Before the Regular Date

One of the largest paydays in
the history of the Rocky Ford
sugar factory was that of Monday
when checks totalling over
$3.50, ,0Op were received by the
sugar beet growers for beets de-
livered to the American Beet
Sugar Co. during the month OF
October.
AS most Of this goodly sum
went to the farmers of this i'm
mediate vicinity, there was ample
reaSon for Thanksgiving cele-
bration in this section of the
Arkansas Valley before the regu-
larly appointed time, for beet
growers and workers are able to
square up their debts with this
pay and still have money to spend.
The Indebtedness of the growers
is less this year than it has been
for many seasons and the majority
of our farmers declare their finan-
cial condition is excellent, which
is an added reason why this
Thanksgiving should be fitly cele-
brated by our people.
Placing over a quarter million
dollars in circulation at one time
in this portion of the Arkansas
Valley should have good effect
on business conditions in all
lines. c

DON'T GET PENNANT
Our Football Team Looses Out to
Las Animas

In the presence of great throng of
home people the Rocky Ford football
squad went down to defeat last Satur-
day afternoon. The clicking was
bad one, something like 81 to 6, and
that's all we care to tell about the game
that gave the S. C.-N. N. M. league
pennant to the Bent County High School
team.
In consequence thereof the state
championship game will be played at
Las Animas on Saturday, and it will be
between the Colorado College Freshmen
and Bent County High School.
