will heat his blood To find a word u

from his bed at 4 o'clock, at the first
loud growing Of the Plymouth Rock.
He rushcs TO the barn TO feed his
stock, while his good wife d0ns her
satin frock. He hears the hpmming
OF the bees; he hears the birds sing
in the trees; hns many hchings in his
knees since he put on his y V D's.

ARVADA FlREMEN PLAN
THEATRICALS ON APRIL 20

Bill Olson, editor of the Free
Lance; Hugo Abbott, star reporter,
and Kenneth Townsley, pressman,
make a pretty good newspaper crew
in the home-talent play, "The Coun-
try Editor" which is to be given by
the Arvada fire department at the
high school auditorium on Friday
evening, April 20.
The play is a strong appeal for
better and cleaner journalism. A
country merchant, the best advertiser
of the town, attempts to control the
newspaper. There is a news story
he does not want printed and threat
ems to withdraw his advertising from
the columns of the Free Lance if the
story is given to the public. It's a
trying case for the editor, who is de-
termined to give his readers just
what they are paying for.
The story is one that is US old as
the hills to newspaper people, and
every town sees it enacted against
their local papers, quite often on
a large and small scale.
Make your plans nov, to attend the
play at the high school auditorium
Friday night of next week. 1t will
help the funds of the Arvada fire
department, which will help them &c
to the state convention at Sterling
July 23 and "a, and you will get your
moneys worth in the way of enter
tainment.

BUY YOUR BABY CHICKS
FROM RELIABLE HATCHEklES

Cheap chicks have discouraged
many poultryman. Unreliable
hatcheries are a detriment 10 the
poultry industry. A farmer in Kit
Carson county reports his experience
to the Extension Service ns fOllOWs:
lie ordered a shipment Of 1000
White Lcghorn baby chicks from =
hatchery in Kansas. He wanted
them shipped on one lot. but they
came in two lots about three weeks
apart. In the second shipment many
Of the chicks had white diarrhen
and many died. while the others
grew very slowly. When the flock
wns finally all put together in the
laying house last fall the younger
ones were tormented by the others.
Practically all winter these hens
Nnid on the roosts and most Of them
never laid an egg.
This farmer learned later that the
hatchery from which he ordered these
chicks made n practice Of buying
eggs anywhere that they could get
them at cents Il dozen above mar
kc, price.
Another farmer reports similar
experience with 200 baby chicks,
ordered from Missouri hatchery last
year. He succeeded in raising 800
pullcts. but this winter these pullcts
haven, laid aH we'll ms his original
flock Of 300 old hens He says he ig
through with chcHp chicks, and this
spring he bought foundation stock
from one Of the recognized strains
Of high producing Lcghorns and he
is Matching real chickens.
II bchooycB farmers to pay pnrticu-
lar attention 70 the reliability Of the
hntrhcrics with whom they deal. All
chickens nrc not the same. Well
bred ones are the only chicks worth

BIG FREE BARBECUE ON
PARKER PROSPERITY DAY

The business people of Parker,
twenty-one miles up Cherry creek
from Denver, have announced big
prosperity" celebration for Satur-
day, April Ia. Parker is the center
Of one Of the best dairying commu-
mites in the state. 1t is 1000 feet
higher than Denver, on the divide,
where rainfall is sufficient to produce
good crops year in and year out. 1t
has for years supplied large per
cent of the fresh milk used in Denver
every day. Sticking to the old cow
has made many farmers of that sec
tion independently rich, because their
cost of producing milk is below that
of other communities where land is
high priced or crops uncertain.
The particular reason for this pros
perity celebration in Parker at this
time is the opening Of a new bank,
financed by the farmers around the
town and Denver banking people
who are connected with the Drovers
bank and the Broadway bank.
The program starts with horse
races and wild west sports in the
morning at 10 80.
There will be big free barbecue
at noon, and enough food will be pro
vided to feet the big crowds which
will flock there from all over thi,
section of the state.
After noon there will be a baseball
game and big dairy meeting.
The Parker troop of Boy Scouts
one of the best trained in the state
will have an important part in tn.
days program.
At night there will be big FIRE,
dance. A crack orchestra will pro
vide the music.
1t will be great event, and, hav
ing lived among the Parker pcopl,
for some time, the editor of the En-
terprise assures all our readers VIII,
should attend, that the day will b,
one well spent.
