HAILSTORM
' DOES DOES DAMAGE
Worst Storm in Many Years
Hit This City Wednesday
CANTALOUPE FIELDS
MUST BE RePLANTED
Orchards Are Denuded, Strawberry
Patches and Garden Truck Are
Pounded Into Earth

A hailstorm that is reputed by
old inhabitants to have wrought
more damage than any in the last
decade struck this section We'd
nesday evening and left desolation
in its wake.
Shortly after ) o'clock the storm
blew up from the south and for
about 15 minutes there was such a
cannonading by hailstones as has
seldom been heard. While the
hail was not 80 large as is some-
times seen it made up for this de-
ficiency in abundance and velocity
of fall, in some sections complete
ly denuding the trees of fruit and
foliage, cutting alfalfa, cantaloupe
and garden plants as though shorn
with a sickle.
Following the hailstorm came a
near cloudburst that in few mo-
ments caused the bitches to over
flow, and when the storm subsided
about I o'clock this city was in a
veritable lake ranging from a
couple of inches to as many feet in
depth and fortunate indeed was
the citizen whose cellar was not
filled with the muddy waters.
2 =. most desolate sight was that
of next morning when the waters
had gone down and a sediment of
mud and debris covered what had
the morning before been a mass
of living green.
Reports from points up and
down the valley are that the storm
was very general and reached from
Avondale almost to Lamar. 1t
appeared to center between Man
zanola and Weitzer, where window
lights were broken and trees peel
ed by the hailstones.
From every direction came re-
ports that the cantaloupe plants
had been completely killed out,
but it is not yet too late to replant
the fields, SO that probably the
heaviest losers from the storm
will be the fruit growers, as their
crop in most Instances has been
irreparably destroyed.

and families during most of the
year, it is very conservative
estimate to place our population
at five thousand, and at our rate of
increase it will not be long until
we can add the assertion that
Rocky Ford is the largest city in

ROCKY FORD IS GROWING
According to City Directory Man
Who Has Just Completed Count

That the popular estimate of a
five thousand population for Rocky
Ford is very near the correct fig
ure has been verified by no less
an authority than F. A. Mckinney
the directory man, who on Tues
day completed house to- house
canvas of this city for the new
directory, which will be the most
complete list of the residents ever
compiled and will be ready for
distribution about June 20.
The directory mans method of
determining the population is by
means of the ''householder's
guide" which by streets and ave-
nues gives the names of the house,
holders aud number of occupants
in every occupied house within
Nhe confines of Rocky Ford.
According to MIR. McKinney's
count, which he guarantees to be
correct and which may easily be
proven upon appearance of our
directory, the actual bonefide pop
ulation of 2ocky Ford on May 26,
1914, was AGO, which is an in
crease of nearly % percent in three
years, the directory compiled In
June, 1911, showing popul alton
of 1928.
Using the directory mans figure
as base and including the big
increase of sugar factory employe es

SCHOOL Term
IS ENDED
Rocky Ford Public Schools
Hold Exercises Friday
OPERA HOUSE JAMMED
DIPLOMAS ARE PRESENTED
Splendid Address Delivered to Grad
uating Class by Rev. Fawcett
of Colorado Springs

uatiHS SIaSS ny NeN. TaWCett
of Colorado Springs
Fully as interestin G as the high
school commencement exercises,
to the majority of Rocky Ford
parents, are the exercises atten-
dant upon the graduation from
the grade schools of the city,
when there is a general advance
ment all along the line til at has
its bearing upon every pupil in
the public schools and so touches
many more homes than does the
comparatively small class who are
"going through" the high school.
Accordingly there was goodly
attendance at the several grade
schools on Friday afternoon, when
the graduating classes held their
exercises and about a half-hun-
dred received certificates emitting
them to admission to the high
school with the opening of the
next school term.
Special mention should be made
of the exercises this year at the
Lafayette school, where splen-
did musical program was render
ed by Bailey's orchestra-which
consisted of S. S. Bailey. Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Hutto and Fred Smith
in addition to a fitting program
by the students.
AT the Liberty and Washington
schools appropriate programs had
been prepared and the closing ex-
ercises were enjoyed by large
number and very creditable in
deed was the performance of the
students before the gaze of their
parents and friends.
On Friday evening throng
conservatively estimated at one
thousand was packed into the
Grand opera house for the con-
Guiding exercises of commence
ment.
Dean Lawrence the class presi-
dent, in n neatly turned speech
presented to the high school the
class memorial, handsome
desk chair, which was accept
ed by President West, who in the
name of the school took occasion
to give the class of 1914 some
justly earned praise and deliver
timely admonition for their fu-
ture conduct.
The commencement address was
delivered by Rev. Walter Fawcett
of Colorado, Springs, and it was an
eloquent speech filled with pre-
cepts and informative value to
those who were upon this even
ing leaving behind them their
school life and were about to en-
bark upon new and untried life
where they perhaps might soon be
called upon to prove their mettle
in avocations or amidst scenes far
removed from those of home and
school.
Tuneful songs by the Girls
Glee Club and the Senior Glass
Song made up the musical part of
the program, which was brought
to fitting close by Superinten-
dent Ward who in well-chosen
words of counsel and cheer pre-
scented diplomas to the twenty-five
young people composing the class
of 1914.
