Only sure Way to Win.

We desire to call attention 10 the
advertisement of the McClelland
Campaign Committee which Is ad-
yancing the candidacy dof Geo. r.
McClelland. OF Idaho Springs. for the
republican nomination for congress.
Those who have carefully examined
thes ituatlon feel safe In saying that
he is the one republican who can de-
feat Congressman Heating this fall,
and this because he Is the one repub-
lican who can carry the metal mining
counties OF the district.
There II Just one way 10 give this
district republican representative
and that Is by naming n man on the
republican ticket who by reason OF
his acquaintance or knowledge OF
conditiins can change the metal min
lng counties from democratic to re-
publican. Mr.. McClelland has been
engaged In mining In these counties
for thirty-six years. has n host OF per
sonal friends and acauaintances and
has the assurance of the democrats Of
those counties that n he is the nomI-
nee of the republican party they viii
support him In the fall election.
The candidacy OF Mr. Mcclellnnd
should be given careful consideration
by every person who wants TO see u
republican In congress from this dis
trict.

Fort Lyon Wins Championship.

BY winning five out of six games
played, the Fort Lyon team of the
Arkansas Valley League captured the
state championship of the State Base
ball Tournament held in Denver this
past week.
This championship was won in a
tournament In which ten of the fast
est teams OF the state competed. BY
process of elimination. whereby any
team dropped out after losing two
games. the final game was played on
Monday afternoon between the Sol
diers from Fort Logan and the Sail
ors from Fort Lyon each having won
four games and lost one. and the
Sailors triumphed by score of 5 to
..
The tournament was one of the
most successful yet conducted The
teams representing Denver, Greeley.
Fort Logan. Fort Lyon, Monte Vista,
Sterling. Longmont, Mt. Harris, Ned
erland and Durango. were entered.
Up until Sunday. four teams had n
chance to win first honors But the
great playing of the Fort in winning
double header on Sunday from Dem
yer by score of Z to and from
Greeley Is to o. put the Greeley
team out of the race. On Monday
the Soldiers from Fort Logan won
from Denver. eliminating that team.
That left the final game between the
Soldiers and the Sailors to settle the
championship and first money. And
the Sailors showed their class-and
incidentally the class OF the Arkan-
sas Valley League-when they took
the Soldiers into camp by a score OF
5 to 9.
The tournament has brought to the
front several stars that We have
known the Fort team possessed. Fred
Ley, center fielder. was the star Of
the tournament and one of the best
men outside of organized ball in this
rart OF the country and undoubtedly
VIII be seen In very fast company
nex' year; Gardner. the old reliable
catcner. who has been working on
hrst< ase. showed his class and re-
ceived much favorable mention;
Mellichcr, on third. showed 'em how
to play that station, rs he has been
showing the Arkansas Valley for sew
eral years and attained that recogni-
tlon OF his sterling qualities which
he SO richly dcseryes.-Las AnImns

Mayor of Newdale Big Loser.

The editor of the great family
were guests of the Mayor of New
dale at n cantaloupe feast last We'd
nesday afternoon. We have visited
the mayor on numerous occasions in
times past but not until this occasion
did we ever find him actively engag-
ed in the pursuit OF agriculture.
The mayor was actually working
riding hayrake, II by any pos
sible elongation of the imagination
you can call that work. The mayor
was raking up his third crop of alfal-
ia, and believe me--or the mayor,
If that is pCssible-it was some crop.
There was hardly room enough on
haycocks, but the mayor thought he
would have enough room on an ad-
joining field to stack what he had
left over. The mayor says that this
is the earliest period of the year that
he was ever able to cut third crop
about a month earlier than usual.
and in consequence he expects to
have fourth crop that will beat all
records yet made in the great Ar
kansas Valley.
While he is cutting his third crop
of alfalfa, however. the mayor says
he is losing $50 day every day in
the week on account of the cutting
off of cantaloupe shipments by the
freight embargo. He has been mar
keting his cantaloupes at Swink and
receiving from 81 to s1.25 for the
crates of forty-five melons, and 35
to 40 cents for the dozen crates. Ho
blames all his troubles on the demo-
cratic administration. and says II we
don't succeed in getting rid of the
bunch of democrats" this fall he
will emigate to South America, where
democrats are unknown and would
not even be allowed.

HAD Almost SERIOUS Accident.

While returning from Rocky Ford
Tuesday evening about $3.50 o'clock,
Roy creel happened 10 an accident
which was almost serious with him.
Roy says n big Cadillac met him. and
that they met too square The re-
suit was that Roy was thrown clear
OF his Ford and the right front wheel
was torn TO splinters and the fender
was almost bent back. Grover Mix

wATERMEIONs GALORE.
Huge Crop Assures Plenty for Rocky
Ford Fair-Patrons Allowed to
Take Melons From Pen.

The bumper watermelon crop in
the Arkansas Valley this season as
sures a melon for everyone in at
tendance at Watermelon Day, Sep
tember 7th at the Arkansas Valley
Fair to be held at Rocky Ford. The
melons are the best for years and
there will be plenty for the pile. the
like of which have not been grown
for years.
The board of directors has thought
( II wise to make a radical change IN
the method of distributing the mel
ons this year. When the fair was
smaller the rule which prohibited
the taking out OF what was termed
by many the melon yard" was all
right, but in the past few years the
much fault has been found with the
crush at the melon pile that differ
ent plan has been decided upon this
year and patrons OF the fair will be
allowed to take their melons any
where they choose to eat them, with
the exception that none will be al
lowed in the grandstand or any of
the buildings.
This new rule will bring JOY to tie
hearts of the automobile owners. for
now they can take their melons to
their cars over In the infield and eat
Z them at their leisure. A number of
receptacles will be provided for the
refuse and everyone is expected 10
deposit the rinds in these places
There will be plenty of amuse-
dition to the regular harness and
running races there will be harness
race for three-year olds who this
year viii be made to trot II any mon
ey Is expected, as they must turn the
track in three minutes or under to
get Into any OF the monies. A motor
cycle race for n purse Of 800; a
girls relay race OF a mile and a half
with three changes; a girls race;
boy's pony race; wild burro race
with hurros that are as wild as deeri
and a long list OF other attractions
too numerous TO mention.
There will be four bands OF music
Watermelon Day and all through the
fair there will be afternoon concerts
I Invitations have been extended to a
large number OF prominent men In
this and other states. many OF whom
have declared their intention OF at
tending and there promises TO be the
greatest gathering OF public men on
Watermelon Day ever assembled in
4 this county.
