Many a man shall envy him who

pause in their noisy games, and with
loving reverence honor them whose

upon that journey which brings good
men to honor and immortality. Oh

Drying Damp Cellars

The most efficient way to dry damp
cellars. easements, etc, is to use cal
cium chloride. Put about pound
OF this salt in an old kettle, can or
similar container. that does not leak
and will stand heating. and leave on
the cellar floor. The above amount
is sufficient for fairly large space.
The calcium chloride rapidly absorbs
the moisture from the air, forming a
solution in the can. This liquid
should not be thrown away, but the

WILL MARKET DIRECT
Crowley County cantaioupe Assocla-
tion Cut Out COMMISSIONER

According to information received
from several of the growers and Direc-
tors of the Crowley County Cantaloupe
& Produce association, that organization
will raise, ship and market it's own
melons this season. About 20 of the
Oldest and among best growers in the
county are behind the movement, and
it will be thoroughly tried out, whether
or not it is possible to do business di-
rect with the marketing agent in the
eastern cities, instead of dealing with
the commission men who are represent
ed on the ground.
Arrangements have been completed
for the handling of the cantaloupes in
about Is of the leading markets, in
each of which one commission house
has been appointed to be the exclusive
agent for this brand of melons. The
commission to be charged by these
agents is less than half what the other
growers will be obliged to pay, who
are not in the association. Crates and
crate material have also been contract
ed, at price considerable less than the
growers have formerly paid.
The directors predict a very good
year, and the success of their enter
prise will be watched with considerable
interest throughout the valley.-ord-

BEGIN FRIDAY, JUNE rs
Best and nost Expensive Talent Ever
Engaged by Redpath- -Horner,
Says Representative

In company with III. II. Ken.
nedy, representing the Redpath
Horner Chautauquas, the Rocky
Ford chautauqna committee met
on Monday afternoon and pre-.
pared plans for the success of our
big entertainment week beginning
Friday, June 25.
The local organization was per-
fected by the election of E. @.
Shelton and j. E. Lawson as per-
manent chairman and secretary,
and the following committees were
appointed to look after our chau-
tauqua affairs:
Ticket committee-A. s. John
son, P. j. Reifel, R. M. Pollock,
Revs. Dugan, Warner and Weaver.
Publicity committee = Chas.
Rocker, Fred Perdue, j. B. Lacy,
Will II. Monkman, J. L. Miller
and Int Stanley.
Representative Kennedy out
lined the plans for publicity work
in the way of streamers, banners,
automobile pennants, stickers, etc.,
that were being prepared by the
Redpath-Horner people, and il
was decided to augment this by
personal letters from the Rocky
Ford Chautauqua committee, and
by a booster trip to the nearby
towns as soon as the details car
be arranged.
In giving a short resume of the
chautauqua course for this year
Mr.. Kennedy placed special stress
upon the information that there
will be nothing of political nature
in any of the lectures; that the
talent for our seven days of enter
tainment was the most expensive
ever engaged by the Redpath-
Horner company, and that Mr..
Horner gave US his personal guar
antee that this years chautauqua

LET'S ALL JOIN IN
Las Animas and La Junta Afitating
Mid-Week Half Holiday and Sem
timent Is Favorable In this City

A few weeks ago a movement
for mid-week half holiday was
started in Las Animas and late re-
ports from that city are to the
effect that it has been taken up by
businessmen, townspeople and
neighboring farmers to such good
effect that beginning this week
every store and business place in
the city will close its doors at noon
on Thursday during the months of
June, July and August.
The mid-week half holiday
movement was advanced by The
Enterprise a couple of weeks ago,
and several of our citizens COM
mented favorably upon the propo-
sition-if it could be made to en-
brace all the towns in the Arkansas
Valley Baseball league-and there
is now some hope that this may
be accomplished, as there is only
Lamar to be heard from.
Here is what the La Junta Trib-
une had to say about the move
ment last week:
Down in Las Animas a movement il
on foot among the merchants and clerks
to arrange for half holiday from noon
until o'clock every Thursday during
the months of June, July and August.
1t is the intention to open again in the
evening for the accommodation of far
mers who desire to come to town and
do some trading.
If the merchants of Rocky Ford, La
Junta, Las Animas and Lamar could be
induced to enter into some agreement
for a half holiday during the months of
July and August, and have all the SUM-
day ball games transferred to the par
ticular day during the week agreed up
on, what great thing it would be for
each of the four towns. The attend
ance at all of the ball games would be
greatly increased, as all who now st
tend the Sunday games would be there,
and great many more who have con-
scientious scruples against attending
Sunday ball games, but who neverthe-
less are as great admirers of the game
as any of the Sunday sports.
This suggestion is something worth
giving serious consideration. 1t would
work no hardships upon any one, pro-
viding all the merchants Fin the four
towns entered into an agreement to
abide by it, and not one of them would
suffer financially on account of taking
half holiday once week. Think it
over.

GREAT CROP
Of ALFALFA
Now Being Cut in the Arkan-
sas Valley
SAYS DIVISION
AGENT OF SANTA FE
Trip Thru the Valley De-
lights Him with the Prospects
for This Years Crops

hoA "ho ASsss . SAopo
"a fine grade of alfalfa, better
than raised in years, is being cut
in the Arkansas valley" declares
w. o. Skinner, division freight
agent for the Santa Fe railroad.
Skinner was in Rocky Ford the
first of the week, returning from
an inspection trip thru the valley
and is delighted with the pros
poets for this years crops.
"The first cutting of alfalfa is
being harvested at present. One
reason for the excellence of the
crop is that the warm spring rains
have caused the plants to grow
thick, resulting in small stems
and many leaves.
The farmers express the opin-
ion that too much rain already has
fallen and express hope that a
few weeks of dry weather will be
ordered by the weather man to
perfectly cure the hay crop"
No more moisture is needed to
mature the wheat crop in the val
ley this year, say the farmers. 1t
has not been necessary to irrigate
the wheat as much as ordinarily.
An increase of % per cent in the
amount of wheat raised this year
is estimated by Skinner. The
grain probably will make more
per acre than last year and there
is also slight increase in the
amount of acreage.
"The dry farmers are the happi-
est of any of the farmers in the
Arkansas valley. The rain has
provided enough moisture to in
sure bounteous crops.
A number of men will be needed
by the farmers to help harvest the
crops. This will provide work
for the unemployed of the cities
and towns.
The agriculturalists who are
making a survey of the farms in
Pueblo county report that every
farmer visited is satisfied with
the conditions this year. The
only possible drawback is that the
spring rains have prevented all
the crops being planted but the
ground is in splendid condition
for plowing.
j. G. Lii, special investigator
for the United States department
of agriculture in the sugar beet
industry, reports that he has
never seen conditions rs good as
at present"
