Breaking Away From Work.

Our business men ought to break
away from trade exactions long before
they do-ought to do SO as a matter OF
volition and ethical judgment rather
than Of physical necessity. They ought
to get and give more enjoyment in life.
They ought to do less for self and more
for others. They ought to live more In
books and more in the open and :ess
at their desks and realize better health
and longer lives as a result More and
more culture In all Its forms is exer-
cising growing influence. which must
manifest itself In lessened effort along
the lines Of money getting and the de-
votion Of more time on the part Of our
business men to the pursuits which
naturally accompany fortified leisure.

gain leisure and Aristotle was wise

For Uniform Text Books.

Ralph P. Collins. the Rocky Ford mem
ber of the committee recently appointed
to compile list Of text books for use in
the several schools Of Otero county. met
with Superintendent: Phillips and the
other members Of the committee in La
Junta on Tuesday. and he was a weary
and worn out man when he reached
home next morning.
The committee got down to work a.
! ! o'clock in the morning and i; was 2
o'clock The next MOI ming before they had
completed their labors. Representatives
of several publishing houses appeared
before the committee to explain the
merits of their books in the different
grades and it was then up to the con- nit
tee to find out the dement's for themselves
and pick out the ones they consider
ed most neritorious. which was a stup-
endous task. The result OF their labor
was the compilation of uniform course
Of study and text books ,ha, it is believed
will prove eminently satisfactory and
will be ado0;ed by the several school
boards Of the county to whom 1t has been
submitted for approval.

A ffurry-Up Trip.

When the sheriff Of Otero county is in
a hurry to 60 any place he'll hereafter
take an auto instead Of the train route.
This is his determination since his recent
tes. Of these two means Of loeomotion in
which the auto won out.
Mr.. Potter had occasion to make a trip
up the line on Saturday afternoon and
reached the Santa Fe depot a moment
after .he last train for the day in that d.
rection had pulled out. He lost no time
in useless repining. but hurried around to
the Otoro Auto Cos. garage. where he
found Clay Wolfe all ready for a run
with his E. NJ. F. machine.
As they left the garage the train had
already passed from sight. but Clay hit
the pike" with such good results that he
placed his passenger aboard the Santa
Re at Fowler.
The Enterprise has not learned what
the speedometer registered but its safe
bet that the speed limit was fractured in
several places.

Elect a Superintendent.

The Rocky Ford school board on Sat-
urday chose superintendent to fill the
position mace vacant by the recent resig-
nation OF Supt. F. B. Bolles. Out of sew
eral candidates for the position Prof.
Daniel Ward of Pueblo was favored and
the choice is eminently satisfactory to
everyone who has investigated the quail
fications OF the different candidates.
Prof. Ward has for a number Of years
been principal of the Fountain senool in
eas, Pueblo and is highly endorsed as one
Of the ablest instructors in the west.
Besides the election Of Supt. Ward the
board also elected J. L. Kellogg as prin-
eipal OF the Lafayette school: Miss Lance
TO fiji the position left vacant by Miss
Weaver. and three grade teachers who
come from Denver. Victor and Boulder.
This practically fills the faculty. with the
propable exception Of an instructor Of
some special study IN the High School.

A CLEAN TOWN
Rocky Ford Is "Spruced Up" and
Ready to Entertain.

With no thought of putting on airs"
for the visitors who will be here from all
parts of the state within the next ten
days-to attend the Sunday School con-
vention-but simply and solely for our
own cleanliness and pleasure, our people
entered heartily into the observance of
"Clean-Up Day" and as a result each
and every citizen will-until the newness
wears off-seek every pretext to have
his visiting friends take walk through
the alley and back yard.
And it has been no small Job to cart
away the winters accumulation Of tin
cans, old boots and other refuse. in fact
so large job was it that it couldn't all
be attended to on Wedresday-the day
designated by the mayor-eyen with the
assistance Of several teams generously
donated BY dray and transfer companies.
But Acting Mayor Coffman kept the city
team hard at work yesterday. and we
are now pretty clean. thank you.

OF the Baptist young people and friends
assembled at the home Of the Misses

lis Your
Title Good?

In connection with my
loans the past four months,
| have found so many faulty
titles to property in and
around Rocky Ford that I
feel that each property own
er should look to his title
and see if it is correct.
I sold lot recently, the party
holding the lot had owned the
property, or supposed he had
owned it, for about ten years and
thought his title good, but when
abstract was examined, it was
found a warranty deed had been
given some three years before,
to another party, and party to
whom the deed was given cannot
be found.
] examined an abstract to a
property worth several thousand
dollars and found when the war
ranty deed was made the portion
of the property OIL which the
dwelling stood had been left out
of the deed, the prior owner of
this property had passed away, so
anyone can readily see the COM
plications that will follow.
When buying property insist
on an abstract, have it brought
down to date of purchase, then
have some competent man ex-
anime it at once, as it is much
easicr TO correct titles when all
parties are alive and here than
afterwards.
