HOG ROAST ENJOYED BY THREE HUNDRED

With the Tilt of well-sung songs
and inspiring music ringing in the
banquet hall of Woodmen Temple,
three hundred farmers and business
men assembled Wednesday night in
feeling of rare good fellowship
and camaraderie; the occasion being
the second annual melting of the
Monte Vista Hog Growers asocia
ton and Monte Vista's really big
event-the HOG ROAST.
The hog roast is held each year
IN FEBRUARY as fitting close to the
past seasons work-a work of great
Importance to the principal industry
OF the valley, and the members of
this unique organization with those
allied with them give themselves up
to the enjoyment of an ENJOYABLE
evening of feasting, music and good
speeches.
The hall Wednesday night was
never more attractive, being taste
fully decorated with American flags,
colored streamers of twisted crepe
paper and cut flowers. The corps of
uniformed walters served the great
throng with surprising ease and
promptness. Five large roast hogs
were carved and passed to the hun
CRY guests together with substantial
and fancy home grown trimmings. ="
Throughout the banquet songs were
sung at intervals (very short ones)
by the entire crowd and of these
Tipperary seemed to strike the pop
ular chord.
After the ice cream course, Toast
master Fassett called upon Mayor
Bronaugh who responded in a few

DIR. Lory on "Team Work"
After a song by the quartet and
walters chorus, DR.. Lory, president
of the State Agricultural college,
delivered splendid address on
Team Work" He handled his sub
ject in a scientific and finished man
ner, which proved him to be a mas
ter in the profession of practical
teachings as applied to agriculture.
The speaker used to illustrate the
efficiency of cooperation the team
work employed in football and de-
clared that we must learn first to
play together before we can best
work to gether. He said: 1--WE
must have team work if we are go
ing to put forward agriculture in

Train Frightens Team
Injuries Lady Driving

Mrs. Hadden met with an acci-
dent Thursday morning while driv-
ing in from her ranch east of
town. The team became fright
ened at the incoming passenger
train while passing along the road
near the sugar factory, upsetting
the buggy and throwing her out.
The train was stopped and DR..
Bies of Del Norte, one of the pas
sengers, hurried to her assistance.
She was unconscious when brought
to the train. An examination by
DIR. Pollock at the office of True
blood & Pollock, to which place
the injured woman was taken, dis
closed the fact that the left hip had
been fractured. 1t is also feared
that she was injured internally.

HIGH SCHOOL CIRCUS

The circus given by the Monte
Vista high school Friday night at
the Opera house was great sue,
cess. The entertainment was a
novel one and was the first of the
kind ever given here. The house

room for the contestants to do their
stunts"
Among those taking part were:
High Diving-Potter, Davis, Har-
ris, Sharp, Mcconnell, Boutwell, and
Sullivan.
Parallel Bars-Baird, Potter, Nc
Connel, Sullivan.
Boxing-Moninger and Schall,
Cullens and Elwood.
Wrestling Wright and Lin

straight falls.
Wrestling-Glen Wright and He'll
man; won by Heiiman in two out of
three.
Girls Boxing-Rose Mackey and
Grace Warren; Fern Bowers and
Inis Pearson.
Girls Sack Race-Inis Pearson,
Emma Glenn Macarthur, Gene Gar
rett, Fern Bowers, Mildred Baird
and Helen Black
Girls Four-Legged Race-Sara
Chapman, Mildred Baird, Emma
Glen Macarthur, Fern Bowers, made
up one team; Helen Black, Lucille
Loudon, Gene Garrett and Inis Pear
son, the other.
E. P. Hunt is entitled to the
credit for the success of the circus,
as he trained the contestants-all
amateurs. Mr. Hunt gave fine ex-
hibition on the parallel bars and also
in high diving.
Ten clowns furnished fun for ev-
eryone, and dog and pony show
added to the entertainment Pink
lemonade. candy, popcorn and hot
drinks were furnished in great
abundance. Stutsman's orchestra
furnished the music.

Colorado. Team work in this val.
ley is emphasized. but this condition
does not obtain generally among
farmers. Your success here is used
as an inspiration to the organization
of team work elsewhere.
THE San Luis Valley is an en-
pire with great unsolved problems,
and we have got to have team
work to solve them. Here you have
conditions different from those of the
plains, and different from those of
other valleys.
An agency which will bring
team work is the appropriation of
money by the government to be used
in extension work along agricultural
lines"
Daddy" OF the Association.
DR.. Glover, who has been termed
the daddy of the association, more
firmly established himself in the
hearts of our people with the best
speech he has made here. He spoke
Tor an hour and half and carried
the enthusiasm of his hearers to the
end. closing his address with one of
the finest expressions of humane and
religious sentiment ever spoken in
Monte Vista.
In talking to his subject of Hog
Cholera and Sheep Feeding" DR..
Glover said among other things:
I'VE are trying to commercialize
the sheep until Nature rebels. = :.
Peas are such rich food that we
are liable to lose many lambs. l
feel dead sure that if the peas were
stacked up and their feeding regu-
lated along with alfalfa, the trouble
can be controlled.
1T is better to be one of a sue
cessful community than a success
full one of a community
Your meeting is in the hands of
the Almighty, but you had better
get busy yourselves. You are now
in the most critical time, and it will
be necessary to stand together as
never before"
Summarized, DR.. Glover's main
points, which he urged his hearers
to bear in mind, were: Pure seed,
retention. if possible, of the sugar
factory; rearing of the San Luis Val
ley horse; and breeding of immun-
lied hogs.
