ifornia, announcing that Paul
Wincbsu had been injured in
an automobile accident and
had been taken to the hospi-

run into by a car. Ralph
wired that the injury was to
the boys skull and that it had
not yet been determined
whether an operation would
be necessary or not. He has
a private room and special

Sargent At Play.
All Monday afternoon was
given over to school and COM
munity play. First came the
meeting in the auditorium un-
der the direction of Mrs. Sam
Holland, with songs and or
chestra music, folk dances by
the children of the third and
fourth grades, followed by the
children's story, king of the
Golden River" told by DR..
Bell. Then came DR.. Bells
addresses on play. which
was pronounced by many as
being the best ever heard on
that subject. DR.. Bell was
formerly superintendent Of
Denver's Fairgrounds and his
experiences in making men
and women out of the boys
and girls through the appeal
of play and school athletics
seem little short of marvellous.
"The trouble is" said DR.. Bell.
that the people do not take
the time for play and they are
forced prematurely to yield to
the physical or mental strain"
He emphasized the Importance
Of the parents sharing in the
play of their children and de-
clared that mo father who de-
votes himself to the play and
recreation of his son. can fail
to influence the sons life, and
no mother who makes herself
a playmate Of the daughter
can fail to influence the girls

CATHOLIC Church BURNS

The Catholic church, one Of
the earliest built churches in
Monte Vista, took fire Tuesday
noon and except the brick
walls, was destroyed. The fire
started in the roof, either from
defective flue or sparks, and
burned slowly in the absence
of any breeze. The fire de-
partment connected with the
fire well at the Hecker cor
ner but soon pumped this dry.
At that time ii was thought
that the fire was extinguished
but it blazed up again and be-
fore hose could be laid to the
well at the school house cor
ner the roof and belfry and
the interior woodwork had
burned.
The Catholic church was
built in 1890. At that time
Lariat was about as large as
now but the church seemed to
be n long way from the bust
ness part Of Monte Vista on
account Of the sparsely settled
condition in that part Of town.
1t seems that Frank Foley WAS
the contractor for the build.

This election was held at
this time in order that the Of

may have ample time in which
to complete arrangements for
the next annual stock show.
A keener interest is manifest
ed in the coming event. which
will be held February s, .

who are most capable of car

unselfish efforts for the bene.

ALAMOSA DOES NOT
GET MAIL ROUTE
TO MONTE VISTA

Alamosa people were congratulate
ing themselves over their success in
obtaining mail route from that
town which was to serve a large part
OF Monte Vista territory. This
route was to start Nov. /, but some
thing has happened and we are
SURE that the department will not
approve 1t. as it interferes with tho
legitimate claims OF Monte Vista.
The following confession in the
Alamosa Journal shows the absence
OF any right for Alamosa to have
the route:
"This route will go right up into
Monte Vists's front yard, as 1t were.
The farthest point on the route is
the road that runs past the soldiers
home. about mile east of Monte
Vista. 1t is strange that that city
should have slept on its rights. for
they are usually live enough up In
Monte Vista.
Monte Vista did succeed. how
ever. in having the actual establish
ment Of the route greatly delayed
after It had been authorized by the
postoffice department. There Is no
question but that the patrons of the
west end Of the route would have
much preferred to have the route
c~tsblishcsl from Monte Vista, but
Alamosa got busy and offered them
the opportunity OF mail service
right ut their doors and OF course
they took it,
