Are Beginning to Adorn South Side
Business Blocks

Work was on Wednesday commenced
upon the South Side White Way, and
before long it is likely that the much
desired improvement will be installed
upon both sides of the entire business
portion of Main street.
Poles for the cluster lights have been
placed along the Peoples Home bank
block, and next in order will be the OPP
posite side of the street and the First
National bank block. and so it will go
until this up-to-date system of lighting
reaches to the Rocky Ford ditch.
In the meantime the north side con-
tinues to spread the light, the latest to
get in the cluster game being the post
office block and Ell Captain hotel.

call halt and place an embargo on the

between Rocky Ford and Lamar had

MANZANOLA ENTERTAINS
VALLEY YESTERDAY
Third Annual Cherry Pie Festival
More Successful Than Had
Been Anticipated
FOR CHERRY QUEEN

Due in great measure to the
enthusiasm aroused thruout the
valley by the Manzanola boosters
on their trip last Thursday-when
32 automobiles loaded to the
guards with live boosters made a
tour of the valley townsville third
annual Cherry Pie Day festival
held yesterday drew the largest
crowd and was the most success
full event ever attempted by our
progressive little neighbor.
The cherry queen contest was
provocative of great interest in
the valley towns until Tuesday
night, when the final count show
ed that Rocky Ford's candidate,
Miss Gladys Hale, had won the
coveted honor by over 500 votes,
the total vote being shown above.
Most interesting events of the
Cherry Pie festival we're the
pageant of progress, typifying the
progress in the West during the
past fifty years, and the cere-
monies attendant upon the crown
ing Of the cherry queen, which
act was graciously performed by
Senator Thomas. Miss Gladys
Beatty, the princess of Manzanola,
was the constant attendant of the
cherry queen, and during the
day acted as hostess of the queen
and her maids of honor. In the
evening Miss Edith Brewer was
hostess of the queen and her
retinue of beautiful young ladies
and they were certainly most
royalty entertained.
Ample preparation had been
made for the cherry pie feed, but
the onslaught upon them soon
caused a scarcity of the pieces de
resistance, yet there was enough
of the succulent pies to satisfy
even the most confirmed "pieface"
and SO the festival was greatly en-
joyed by all.
A fine program of sports and
races filled in the afternoon most
acceptably for the throng of visit
ors, who have only terms of high
praise for the entertainment fur
nished by the people of Manza-
nola on their one big day.

SOME RECORD CROPS
In Arkansas Valley This Year, Ac-
cordlng to the Opinion of Govern
ment Crop Expert


That the 1915 beet crop is the
best by 10 per cent ever grown,
is the opinion of Joe Loynd vete-
ran district supervisor for the
American Sugar Beet company.
His district extends from two
miles east of Fowler to Canon
City.
"My estimate on the beet crop
for my district is ITO per cent"
said Mr.. Loynd II have been
the company's agent in this dis
trict for Is years and the crop is
better than 1 ever saw before.
"The best yield in the district
is on the st. Charles mesa. The
average yield for the valley is
about IL tons and some of the
fields on the mesa will go 16 TONS"
Loynd is the government crop
expert in the Arkansas valley and
makes frequent reports on the crop
conditions. He is quite optimis-
tic about everything but the melon
crop.
"About two-thirds the acreage
was put in melons that was in a
year ago." said Loynd. And the
present indication is that a big
portion of that will not materialize.
The hail In the Rocky Ford dis
trict and the backward season for
melons has put a lot of the fields
out of the running altogether. l
would say that the melon crop of
the valley, including Rocky Ford,
is fully a month behind and at
that rate, the entire crop is liable
to be destroyed by early frosts
unless it makes an exceptionally
speedy growth from now on.
Why, l have seen lots of fields in
watermelons the vines of which
have not yet started to run"
Loynd says he never saw better
prospects for the grain crop of the
Valley Wheat, which predomin-
