The Great Pageant
First in the West
Outside Of Denver

Nothing can be known of posi-,
bilities until they are tried out.
The agricultural pageant stag
ed for the fair was huge un-
dertaking, and of course until
the crop outcome WAS known
nothing could be told Of whether
it could be put on at all or not.
Any kind CT a pageant is
something that has never been
put on in the west outside Of
Wichita and Denver. so tally one
for Baca county anyway in maxi
ing the attempt.
So far we have Information of
three Sunday schools preparing
floats for tho pageant, and no
doubt many others and many
individuals will line up at once
for the great pageant.
Let US hear from you as soon
as you have decided on getting
up a float, that Preparations
may be made at once.
