SONG OF THE DESPOT, HUERTA
Contributed by Student of the Rocky High

The deed Is done. the prize is won,
Why need to stand lamentingI
Madero's dead, Diaz has fled
And why this weak relentingr
Who dared my will are cold and still
And ne'er shall rise In plotting.
But ah, the spirit, loathe and fear it.
En- though the flesh is rotting
In shades of night how deathly white
Their ghastly shapes come soaring.
Surcharged with hate to seal my fate
Their fearful curses pouring.
But yester night Juarez's sprite
Came winRing through the gloom.
Presaging woe, with signs to show
The near approach of doom.
Nay, nay, nay. dark shades away.
'Tls not the time for qualling.
For honor's sake and all at sake
Stand not IN fear bewailing.
must smile and jest on dangers crest.
In terror's troubled seas.
I'll take Il drink on the collins brink
Meath sword of Damocles.
In the glow of the flask our spirits bask
And well drop n tear from the eye.
For though we are merry. breezy and airy
Tomorrow (oh tears) we may die.

tests in This City
The La Junta and Rocky Ford
high schools met in a dual track
and field meet and a baseball game
at the local ball park and race
course last Saturday afternoon. A
good-sized crowd was out to see
the sports, and had the pleasure of
witnessing one of the finest ex-
hibitions of the great American
game that has ever been played on
the local diamond.
The athletes were in splendid
form and with an ideal day for the
meet every event went off with a
cheer and snap that put "ginger"
and pep" into the hearts of the
boys taking part in the games.
La Jnnta came bent upon the
destruction of the Rocky Ford
boys, and were successful in cap
turing the track and field meets
First place in each event was
given 5 points and second place 3,
making 8 points for each of the 12
events, or 96 points, and with 5
points for the winning relay team
making l01 points in all.
La Junta captured the relay race
and 55 points from other events,
making 60 points Rocky Ford
received Al points. Edwards of
La Junta made 10 points, making
him winner of the individual
honors.
Following is the summary of
events and results:

La Junta's baseball corps was
not SO successful in its attack on
the Rocky Ford squad: With the
score even at the end of the eighth
inning the La Junta sharpshooters
could make no advance their last
time at bat. Rocky Ford came in
from the field determined to shat
ter the hopes of their opponents,
but were unable to find the open
ing until two outs had been made
made and two strikes had been
declared against Oren Campbe ell at
bat. Harlow Campbell was on
second, and while history does not
record that the piper played "The
CanAbell's Are Coming at this
particular time the result was the
same, for the Campbell at bat met
that cork centered sphere square
in the face and planted it over in
the field back of short stop, scor-
ing Campbell and thereby saving
the necessity of continuing the
battle after sunset.

Big Time Next Friday
The annual Arkansas Valley
League track and field meet will
be held on the Rocky Ford
grounds next Friday, May s, when
it is expected that our boys will

they did last Saturday, for they
are going into the meet determin-

Preparations are also being
made for the essay and reading
contests, which will he held in
Grand opera house on the even
ing of meet day, and it is anticipa-
ted that the Rocky Ford contest
ants will be heard from tavorably

Our Boys are Heard From
Upon other fields besides that
of home the Rocky Ford boys on
Saturday were well up in the
front in all athletic events in
which they took part:
In the annual dual track meet
at Denver the Tigers of Colorado
College defeated the Ministers of
Denver University by a score of
II to 46. Bingham of d. o., who
smashed two state records, and
Davis of G. c., who captured the
individual honors, were the stars
of the day. The latter was tied
for first in the high jump, divid-
ing the points with a Rocky Ford
boy, Lee Cover, also a tiger, who
jumped 5 feet Ii inches.
At the interclass track meet in
Boulder our noted athlete, Carl
Cline, was the second point win
ner with 13 to his credit, and Don
Stratton won first in the broad
Jump, clearing 2l.05 feet. Cline
took first in the 100-yard dash at
10 flat; second in the 220 and first
in the 440-yard run.

L. ffWlN II
to say of one thing and another in
Atlanta few days ago, The Savan-
nah News rather agrees with the
Rome orator in part particularly
wherein he contrasts the inland city
and the city by the sea.
Says The News:
The sale of liquor has been and
is being carried on under cover
in Atlanta, while in Savannah the
business is open and above
board: but because it is conduct
ed in Atlanta under cover the
consumption of liquor is no less
In fact, there are reasons for
thinking that the consumption is
greater since there is always a
desire for that which is prohib-
tied
We call attention to what At
Ianta Cnlef or ponce Says anu
what Mr.. Wright said simply for
the reason that our rural friends
have been misled into thinking
that only in Savannah were in
toxicants being sold, that Atlanta
was the good city and had gra
ciously yielded to the efforts of
the prohbitionists. And hasn't
Atlanta herself given color to this
view?' Atlanta can not be held
up as an example of the success
of prohibition.

hibition?"
