But would they go rowing in a hired

motor-boat of high power. and she
would remember that she saw her SER

No, decidedly it won't do for them to
go rowing They must wait till Bill can
buy a motor boat. So Bill works nights

taking chance in his business, and Bills
wife contents herself by sitting on the
porch of fashionable summer hotel for
two weeks. worrying herself to FRAGILE

WHY NOT
LEARN HOW
TO PLAY?

As nation, we Americans do not know
selves. We take our pleasure. like our
work. too seriously. We GO to extremes;
we make hard work of our vacations. II
we can't play terribly hard. and after the
same fashion of our neighbors who are
better off. we won't play at all. Some
of US are SO afraid we won't play in the
right way-in the fashionable way-that
we just give up trying altogether. Then
our bodiesy and our minds. and ocr souls
pay the price of being denied relaxation
and pleasure,
A clever Englishman said to the writer
not long ago-"You make haste, even in
your amusements. so they lack spontan-
city and gaiety. You really can't enjoy
dinner, don't you know. when you race
to it in taxicab with your open watch
in your hand. You are SO afraid Of mis-
sing something at a da nee that you never
as the paid musicians. When | ask an
American woman to sit out dance with
me. that may enjoy her conversation
she accedes graciously. but she thinks
am not getting my moneys worth"
We can't take the pleasures nearest
our hand. We reach out for the pleasures
which some other fellow can afford better
than we can. We try to find pleasure in
the things we can't pay for.
Now. there's Bill Graham. You may
not recognize him by this name. but he
lives in your town. Bill loves the water,
so does Bills wife. When Bill was court
ing her. he used to hire a rowboat or a
canoe. and she would steer their craft in
to shadowy corners Of the lake, where

DRUGGISTS MEET
And Make Plans for Effective
Organization

Every drugstore in Otero county was
represented at a meeting of the Otero
County Druggists association held in
this city on Tuesday afternoon.
At preliminary meeting last week
an organization was effected under
which the druggists expect to estab-
lish uniform prices throughout the
county, and also have a buying club to
purchase staples from the wholesalers
in large quantities for the benefit OF
the members of the organization.
At this meeting it was decided to
have uniform price list printed for
the benefit of drug store patrons. and
to increase the bounds of the associa-
ton to include the cities of Lamar and
Las Animas, making it an Arkansas
Valley in place of an Otero county or
ganization.
For this reason the permanent or
ganization and election of officers was
postponed until later meeting, which
will be held in this city some time next
week.

COLORADO RAISES BEETs
Leads all States in Production and
Value of Beet Crop

Government reports have been issued
to the effect that Colorado fields last
year produced nearly one-third of the
beet sugar refined in the United States.
yielding enough to supply $500, 900
people for year.
Colorado factories produced 229, ,274
tons of sugar from l,S40,6 tons of
beets. The total production of the
nation was 733, ,40l tons of sugar. Col
orado led all the beet sugar states.
California ranking next, with produc-
ton about three-fourths as great as
Colorado's.
The 1913 production in the nation and
in Colorado, too, was the greatest in
the history of the industry. Beets
were harvested from l6S,4l0 acres in
Colorado, the average yield being 1898
tons to the acre. The average price to
the grower being s6l.97. The price
was 20 cents a ton less than in 1912,
but IL cents ton above the price in
1911.
Each ton of Colorado beets yielded
249 pounds of sugar in 1918, against
263 in 1912 and 26I in 1911.
The return per acre to the growers
of beets in 1913 was as follows, ac-

VIII Do Away With Hand Labor

The Great Western Sugar company
at Fort Collins is farming l20 acres of
land in beets and has done away with
hand labor entirely. Everything will
be done by machinery. Only abont IL
or l5 pounds of seed was planted to
the acre. Blocking will be done by
machinery. Instead of hand hoeing,
cultivator will be used in pulling and
topping. These experiments are being
made with view of keeping the beet
industry going after the tariff has
made their growing too expensive by
hand. The result will be watched with
interest all over the state.

PETITIONS ARE FILED
Initiated Prohibition Amendment
Carried Twelve Thousand Names
More than Required

Denver, June 20 Yesterday, the in
itiated constitutional, amendment for
statewide prohibition was filed in the
Office of the secretary of state and ac-
cepted for verification of the names.
The liquor corporations have fifteen
days in which to contest any names de-
sired. lnasmuch as the utmost care
was exercised in the getting up of the
petition, it is certain that no contest
can be successful.
The committee that filed the petition,
acting for the petitioners was compos-
ed of A. j. Finch, Mrs. Adrienne Hun
gerford, Mrs. John Bond, J. X. Rich
ardson and Mrs. Nella Bradbury.
There were nearly $4,000 signers to
the petitions, about 1900 more than
is necessary, as only 10000 were re-
quired.
porations, under the name of the Den
yer Convention association, filed an in
itiated amendment to the constitution
to deprive the people of the right to
vote on the same question more than
once in six years. This attack upon
the right of the people to vote on any
question as often as they wish to do
so will be contested by the Colorado
Direct Legislation league and others
who believe in popular government. 1t
is significant that this attack upon the
right of the people to rule is made by
the same sinister liquor influences that
designed the Colorado Home Rule
league, the principle work of which is
to fight against home rule and substi-
tute therefor rum rule.

TO CELEBRATE
The THE fourth
Under Auspices of Rocky
Ford Sunday Schools
PARADE. PICNIC, SPORTS
AND BIG BASEBALL GAME
Arrangements Under Way for Safe
and Sane Celebration OF Inde-
pendence Day in This City

pendence Day in This City
Although little late in making
up our minds we are going TO
make the eagle scream" in Rocky
Ford ON this coming Glorious
Fourth, SO it was enthusiastically
decided at Union Sunday school
meeting held in the Presbyterian
church on Tuesday evening, at
which several representatives
were present from the various
Sunday schools of the city.
The proposition of Union
Sunday school picnic was first
mooted some weeks ago, but when
it was found that the Rocky Ford
Cubs had the Fair grounds engag-
ed and baseball game scheduled
for the Fourth the proposition
was allowed to drop until the first
of this week, when a suggestion
that the picnic and game might be
combined appeared to meet with
popular favor and Fred Knause,
manager of the Cabs, was invited
to meet with the Union Sunday
School association and talk the
proposition over.
This meeting came as above
announced when Manager Knause
not only offered to turn over the
grounds but to play the game
scheduled with La Juuta under the
auspices of the Union Sunday
school at such reasonable figure
that his offer was eagerly closed
with and so much enthusiasm was
aroused that the picnic proposition
WAS shortly expanded into real
genuine safe and sane celebration
of Independence Day.
According to the plans discus
sed the celebration is mainly in
tended as day of pleasure and
patriotic instruction for the child
rem, but their elders are by no
means left out of the game and
the promoters are confident that
everyone who takes part in our
celebration of the Glorious Fourth
will agree that they have enjoyed
the occasion as never before.
AS the day has been planned
the celebration will begin with
grand parade in which the various
Sunday schools of the city will
take part and those of WeitZer,
Patterson Valley, Grand Valley
and Newdale will also be invited.
With floats and decorated auto
mobiles for which prizes will be
presented to the best appearing,
etc. and headed by the Indian
Boys band the parade will march
about the principal streets until
about ! l o'clock, when the crowd
will gather at the Fair grounds
for short program of songs and
patriotic addresses.
All children under twelve will be
admitted free to the Fair grounds
and tickets will be issued to the
various Sunday school organiza-
tions which will be honored at the
gate. All others will be asked to
put up the amount that they would
ordinarily pay for Il ball game
alone, Just 1.-TWO bits" and this it
is believed will more than cover
the expenses that will necessarily
be incurred.
At the noon hour picnic
dinner will be served cafeteria
style in the beautiful grove, and
for this free feed" each family is
expected to bring well-filled
basket and turn the same over to
Mrs. Roxie Swink and her assist
ants, who will add the contents to
the common pile.
After the picnic dinner the
athletic program will begin and
