TYPICAL SCOUT GOOD TURN

A mantle of charity In the way of a
coat of whitewash was recently COW
cred over all the shabby poles, tree
trunks and unsightly spots In the city
Of Abilene, Tex, by It's scouts In re-
cent cleanup campaign. The scouts
received the official thanks Of the city
and In addition, four prizes were
awarded as many troops for their out
standing service. Troop No. 10, which
mixed the whitewash and therefore
had not the time to compete in apply
ing 1t, was awarded the consolation
prize.
THE work Of the scouts having the
cleanup campaign in charge was de-
clared big success" says the Abilene
Daily Reporter. Some residents
whose trees the boys whitewashed
wanted to remunerate the scouts for
their work. but of course, no money
was taken, as 1t is one of the laws of
scoutdom that no boy scout is to re-
ceive pay for any act of kindness and
help he does"
The scouts have promptly taken up
another community good-turn In aid
ing In the erection of $500 worth of
apparatus. consisting OF
merry go-rounds, swings. see-saws.
slides and other paraphernalia. The
work is being done under the direc-
ton Of the local executive, and "the
scouts, OF course" adds the Daily Re
porter, "are donating their services"

COLORADO CABBAGE REPORT

The 1928 commercial cabbage acre
age in six counties north of Denver,
shows an increase of a little over
per cent above the 1922 acreage,
which was estimated at 1850 acres.
Reports indicate that 40 per cent of
the acreage is in early cabbage. Last
season about so per cent of the acre
age was in early cabbage. The early
crop suffered damage from hail and
floods early in the season, the estima-
ted damage being between 15> and 20
per cent,
The late crop is in much better con.
dition and shows good stand. The
condition is about 80 per cent. Ship
ping of early cabbage in car lots is
from ten days to two weeks late. A
few cars have moved from the Gree.
ley district. Peak Of movement ex.

"THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH"
PEERLESS NEXT WEEK

Could Longfellow see the William
Fox motion picture adapted from the
Cambridge poets immortal Village
Blacksmith" he would be pleased as
a three-year-old child with lollypop.
Little could the master poet realize
when he wrote the immortal lines
which have come down to this age.
that the wonderful adaptation could
have been made.
Paul II. Sloane. who wrote the seem
ario from the poem, has compiled a
screen masterpiece. All through the
scenes of the photoplay the sterling
qualities of Longfellow's hero are
preserved. The picture has been
proclaimed by Broadway critics as a
screen masterpiece. One of the crit
les has aptly described the picture as
doing for father what over the Hill
did for mother"
Throughout the trials and tribula-
tions Of lifetime the father stands
out as the heroic figure in story
about a typical American family.
"Toiling. rejoicing, sorrowing. onward
through life he goes" sang the poet
and so far Paul Sloane depicted the
central figure of the story.
In every way THE Village Black
smith" is a screen masterpiece and it
is destined to be one of the greatest,
film attractions of year replete with
photoplay successes. 1t will be here
at the Peerless on Wednesday and
Thursday OF next week.

"You Americans let your young peo-

marry our young people. and let them
afterward get acquainted. You prefer
your ways 10 ours. and certainly your
way does produce the most divorces.
'The two ways Mr.. Ling Tang went
on. "might be compared to two kettles
OF water. The first kettle-yours-is

COLORADO ONION CROP
PAGE SEVEN

The commercial onion acreage in
for the 1923 season shows an increase
of about 65 per cent above the 1922
acreage which was placed around 1900
acres.
1t is estimated that in Weld county
district from 900 to 700 acres were
planted this season which is an in
crease over last season. Due to the
floods early in the season this crop
suffered damage. Estimates indicate
that approximately rs per cent Of the
acreage was damaged. The condition
of the remaining acreage is better
than the crop was one year ago at
approximately the same time. The
poor condition of the crop last season
was partly due to shortage of water.
However there has been an ample
supply of water this year. The pres
ent condition is about so per cent
with an average stand of about rs
per cent.
A recent report issued by the De-,
partment" of Agriculture, gives the
commercial acreage of onions in three
states compared with the 1922 acre
age of 1922: Indiana, 6,01S acres
compared with 5,1S4 in 1922; Ohio, g.
1852 acres compared with $50 in 1922;
