The uniform courtesy, the fine SER

manner of several of the boys at

quietly watching them since. He was
impressed with the fact that the

him most was their courtesy, their
politeness-the quality which makes
a boy or man remove his hat in the
presende of women, or when entering
an office or other private apartment.
To express his appreciation to the
boys, and as a means of encouraging
them and their compatrlots to con-

decided upon the treat, and extended
the invitations to the Toys to be his
guests at the dinner last evening. \

were there for them, and they made it
plain that they not only enjoyed the
good things, but appreciated the cour-
tesy and thoughtfulness Of Manager

"The. Common Law" seven reel

Bile production, writes B. H. Grimm,
in reviewing the production, which is
to appear at the Best theatre New

sistible, and she is surrounded by an
excellent cast. If the characters il

The seven reels are quite faithful
Installation of the sociological plot,
with the exception that several of
the more objectionable-or what
could have been made Objectionable
situations are noticeable by their pro
priety.
Continuity throughout the picture
could hardly be improved upon, ana
the story is smoothly narrated on the
screen with the use IF fewer subti.
ties than many productions of shorter
length. The subtitles, too, are made
artistically attractive by the use of
decorative designs. Director-Generai
ALBERT Capelani has lent artistic
touches to the whole that add to the
productions worth. Many of the set
tings, particularly in the studio
scenes, are magnificent.
Throughout the development of the
character of the young girl of educa-

Clara Kimball Young draws the spec
tator into a state of sympathetic SOL
icitude for her. The story abounds
with dramatic situations which are
interpreted to their fullest POSSIBLE
ties by Miss Young as Valerie West,
artists model, and Conway fearless
as Louis Neville. the artist. A stu
alton in which Miss Young is called
upon to reach the highest degree OF
ability occurs when Valerie, pure N
heart, sets a day when she tells Ne
vile she will come to him as his com
mon law wife. In this scene Miss
Young is supreme. She compels the
sympathy of the spectator, especially
so when the spectator has followed
her through the previous action in
which the adpOted daughter or Ne

Rocky Ford enterprise., 1916-06-02

Army of the Republic and its
auxiliaries, are composed of this
type of men and women. The
glorious record they have made,
inscribed on the pages of our
nations history, is the best evil
dence of their loyalty and devo-
ton to our country"
In song and speech it was fit
tingly told that the old soldier de-
serves all the consideration that a
grateful country can bestow on
him in his declining years. He
made sacrifices for the flag, and
his sacrifices will not be forgotten
even when he has passed away.
When the last wearer of the blue
is gone Memorial Day will still
be observed, but the active partic-
ipants in the days services will
be those who appreciate what the
old soldier has accomplished.
Memorial Day will continue while

BURGLARS BUSY
Stock Up Extensively with Clothing
and Jewelry

During the past week this city appears
to have been the stopping place for a
horde of moochers, grafters and itin-
Grant vendors of phony jewelry, and
our police force has been kept going
rounding them up and giving them the
high sign to move on.
AS natural result of the influx of
these undesirable characters the busy
burglar has been plying his nefarious
trade to such success that he and his
retinue have probably all been able to
make their annual change of wearing
apparel.
The greatest haul so far reported
was from the Unique Dry Cleaning Co.,
whose place of business on Railroad
avenue was broken into last Friday
night and fourteen suits of clothes that
had reached various stages of the clean
ing and pressing process were missing.
The next night the Gill home on
North Twelfth street was entered and
clothing and jewelry purloined. The
next day friendship" bracelet iden-
titled as the property of one of the Gill
children, together with, some articles of
women's wear, were picked up on the
shore of Dye lake. which leads to the
inference that the thieves were more
particular as to personal cleanliness
than is customary with their ilk and
had taken bath before fitting out in
their new clothing
Several cases have been reported of
providers being seen and persons accost-
ed by would-be hold.ups in different
parts of the city. but no actual burglary
has been reported to the police since
Saturday night, and tho the officers are
vigilantly investigating every suspicious
character they have been unable to run
across an discriminating clue. They are
led to believe that the burglars have
sought other haunts, but the careful
citizen will do well to adhere to safety
first" principles and see to it that his
money and valuables are in the bank
and that his home is locked up and the
watchdog let loose every night.

BOY SCOUTS
Have Time of Their Young Lives at
The Cedars Last Week, as Graph
ically Told by Their Scribe

May % was great day for the Boy
ford's to start for weeks camping in
the Cedars. After parade down
Main street and much "fussin and
fixin" off we went-led by Mr.. Butter
field in an auto truck piled high with
bedding and grub, then came three
other cars full of boys.
We arrived at Dripping Springs
about noon and after lunch spent the
rest of the day pitching tents and fix
ing the camp grounds, had a good sup
per and were ready for down ~ beds.
Tuesday was spent in trapping, hunt
ing and wandering around the canyons.
Wednesday we started on five mile
hike and after long and hard walk
we came to the river where we sure
had fun swimming. Wednesday, night
we initiated the new members, if you
don't believe we did good job just
ask Pete Funk.
Thursday we stayed at camp because
we were pretty stiff from our hike)
when the most exciting thing of the
trip happened. The Scout Masters
tent burned and in it were several
boxes of shells. At first we thought
Villas army was coming. In trying to
save the other tents Mr.. Butterfield
received slight wound from an ex-
ploding bullet. Thursday afternoon we
organized a Glee Club. Here is a sam
pie of our songs:
TUNE. TIPPERARY
Up to the mighty Cedars came bunch
of Scouts one day.
As the ground was paved with rocks
sure every one was gay.
But when the masters tent burned down.
sure every one was sad,
But when we got back to the good old
town. then every one was glad.

It's a long way to Rocky Ford. its long
way to GO;
It's a long way to Rocky Ford to the
sweetest glrl tmotherl | know;
Goodbye dear old Cedars.. farewell Drip

It's long way to Rocky Ford. but my
heart now sings.
TUNE, YANKEE DOODLE
The Scouts went to the Cedars upon a
Httle FHVef,
And there they saw the snakes and
bears as thick as little slivers.
CHORUS
The Boy Scouts had lots OF fun.
w hen they went TO the Cedars.
Friday morning we broke camp.
About noon some of our fathers and
mothers unexpectedly arrived to have
dinner with us. and gee. the good eats
they brought. Everybody is good to
Scouts. We thank DIR. Crawford and
Mr.. Will Butterfield for taking such
good care of us and giving us q great
time. Also MIR. Fred Johnston and Mr..
Sherer for their cars, and Mr.. Leslie
Brigham for $500 towards hiring other
cars.
We hope it will not be long before
we can report other good times.

Aided by Brilliant Fielding in
Afternoon Game
COSTLY ERRORS LOSE
MORNING GAME
Altho Toothaker Held the Visitors
to Four Hits-Locals Outhit
Opponents

La Junta and Rocky Ford went
tifty-fifty in the Memorial day
games. the visitors taking the
morning contest by the score OF 6
to and the Cubs winning the
second game by the score of 6 to 3
Both contests were featured by
sensational pitching on both sides.
In the first game Toothaker was
pitted against Lefty" Mayer and
both showed splendid form. Three
errors and a couple of boneheads,
aided by three base hit gave the
visitors five runs in the first inning
which was more than sufficient to
win the game. After the opening
stanza the Cubs settled down to
play and honors were even the
rest of the morning. Toothaker
allowed but four hits in the game
and was in no way responsible for
the showing in the first inning.
The afternoon game brot out
over 1900 fans, special train
bringing up crowd of La Junta
enthusiasts who were eager to see
their team perform upon a real
man size diamond.
The story was different from the
morning game, the Cubs having
the best of the argument from the
start. "Old Reliable" Jim Renell
was on the mound for the locals
while Stevens-who had been i'm
ported especially for this game
worked for La Jnnta. Jim out
pitched his opponent and was air.
tight in the pinches.
Besides the pitching of Renell
the fielding of "Chuck" Cochran
for the locals was the feature of
the days games, as he took IL
chances without an error and
pulled down several drives in CEN
ter field that looked good for extra
bases. He also batted 1000 in the
afternoon game.
