Much enthusiasm is already In evil

that IT is going to be the greatest

dozens and dozens OF automobiles
will contest for the prizes In the dec
Grated automobile parade. Three
prizes will be offered. one of $50
for the best industrial float. another
of $50 for the best decorated auto
mobile. and one of SIS for the best
comic float.
Fraternal organizations, the Grand
Army of the Republic and other or
ganizations are expected to partici-
pate. and the probabilities are that
the parade will be one OF the great
est features. outside of the double
header ball game between Rocky
Ford and La Junta.
The fireworks committee has ar
ranged for a most elaborate display
OF pyrotechnics as the closing feature
OF the day. An order has already
been placed with the Texas Fire

Elks' Flag Day Ceremony.

Flag Day exercises were held in
Elks' Hall Wednesday night under
the direction of the officers of the
Elks. A good sized crowd was pres
ent and showed its appreciation of
the various numbers of the program
by generous applause.
After several minutes of patriotic
music by the orchestra, the audience
sang the Star Bangled Banner"
Then followed the Introductory ser
vice and prayer by the chaplain.
+. d. Kennedy gave the record OF
the flag, tracing its development
from earliest colonial times down
through the vicissitudes of the young
nation to the present arrangement of
stars and stripes. He showed flags
illustrating the various stages In de-
velopment and explained how Betsy
Ross superintended the making of
the first flag of starh and stripes at
the request OF General Washington.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Kennedy's
speech the orchestra played "Colum-
bia, the Gem OF the Ocean,
The altar service OF homage to the
flag was next In order and was very
solemn and impressive. During this
service the Significance OF the differ
ent colors was explained.
Fred p. Austin received hearty ap-
plause at the conclusion OF the song.
Wrap the Flag Around Me Boys
which he sang very impressively.
The Elks' tribute to the flag was
delivered by c. c. Hearnsberger, who
delivered a fitting euology to "Old
Glory" explaining that It is flag to
be proud OF because OF the difficult
ties II has overcome. because OF the
achievements II has made In all fields
and because OF the part It has had in
putting on more equal footing OF
brotherhood.
Miss Leona Wood next sang a
song and was followed by +. w. Nc
Daniel who delivered a patriotic ad-
dress. After singing America" the
assembly dispersed.

FEARFUL EVENT" FOR FORD.
Even Against the Mighty McGraw, Il,
Junta Keeps on Winning With 1
to q Score.

Rocky Fordites are very much
peeved because La Junta refused to
lay down to the much-heralded and
supposed to be invincible McGraw
last Sunday. Stopping the La Junta-
ties these days is about as hard a
job as trying to head off six-forty
Chalmers with leggless chafteur
behind the steering wheel. Rocky
Ford is only two full games behind
La Junta and during the series of
three straight games with the home
aggregation the melon rollers, with
the aid of the mighty McGraw. ex-
pect to land the majority of them and
land some where near first place
The fondest hopes OF even the Rocky
Fordites, however, gang after gee,
fail OF fruition, or have something
else happen to them. and in this in
stance enough happened in the third
inning to cop the game. La Junta
scored one lone run in the third in
nuns anu that vas Sicat suiii'ich's .
Pelky was the only man who walked
on either side during the game, and
scored when Cotton" Sievers land
ed safe one in right field.
Only four Rocky Fordites landed
on first. and Eddie Smith was the
only one to reach the midway station.
II It had not been for the errors
made by Rocky Ford the two teams
would probably have been playing
until nightfall. McGraw struck out
sixteen men. allowed but four hits.
two OF them being made by Cotton"
Sievers. Maher. for La Junta, pitch
ed a wonderful game, allowing but
four scattered hits and fielded his
position like a star OF the first mag
nitude. 1t was a great battle be-
tween the opposing pitchers, with
Maher having a little the best of II
on account of having big league sup
port. Chellgord's error on McGraw's
hot grounder was an excusable one,
as II probably would have been good
for two bases had not "Cheily"
fumbled IL after a hard run.

 aency in their daily intercourse than is their own language. Both at work and play English is em- ployed more than the Eskimo dialect and some display a re- lnarkable grasp of English terms.
 The older members are apparent ly all more or less familiar with
 English, and are frequently heard conversing in that tongue.
 The school, says MT. Kristan, was something of a revelation.
 The exercises are conducted en- tlrely in English and with a pro- fciency most astonishing to one
 whose knowlewdge of the Eski-
 mo was gained through contact with those found in Nome. De- corum and discipline are perfect and the dusky scholars devote themselves to their studies with diligent application. The village natives are universally cleanly in person and habits, in proof of which he states that during his stay he frequently saw the native
 males come home from hunting trip, and wash themselves thor oughly before joining the gather ing at the Kozga. Concerning

That the natives of the settle ment at Cape Prince of Wales have reached such an advanced pane ot mental and educational development that they are able to read and discuss intelligently the general events of the period, is the statement of MT. Jake kris- tan who returned from visit to that remote section the other day. MT. kirstan says that the natives show astonlsning development and display every indication of being extremely anxious to learn everything concerning that is gong on in other places. News papers are at all times in demand and one of the most frequent questions after his arrival was Have you newspapers" He says it is really remarkable sight to see them sitting in their com fortable meeting houses, or "kozga's of which there are two, reading the newspapers and other literature which comes to hand. The capacity to reaa the printed language of the white man Is not connned to a few, he says, as practically all of the younger members of the village are edu- cated to the degree that they can read. They also appear to have a fair understanding of the sub jects contained in the newspa- pers and take a very lively inter est in the great war.
 MT. Kristan says it is a revela- ton to hear them discussing the
