CLEAN UP THE TOWN.

The movement for clean town is
certainly a worthy one and the Enter
prise endorses it heartily. Consider
able has been done during the past
week, but more ought to be done.
Especially should there be more
prompt cleaning up Of the business
part of town. There are alleys and
back yards of lots bordering on Main
street that are in a disreputable con-
dition. By all means these should be
kept scrupulously clean for an ex-
ample to the rest of the town.
We wonder if our business men
have thought of the point that our
health officer is a doctor. and that, in
cleanino the town he is working di-
rectly to lessen sickness and thus to
injure his own business. On the 9TH
er hand clean town with clean bus
iness houses, attracts people and
brings business. AS matter of pol
icy then, every business man should
make his own place. back yard and
all. a model of cleanliness.
Our health officer says that after
April IS he is going to require a
weekly cleaning of every yard, corral
and stable. 1t would be good idea
to begin this weekly cleaning at once,
and not wait for compulsory meas

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.

To the Editor Of the Enterprise:
DEAR SIR: Our Civic Improvement
Society last week held social
to raise funds. which It was announced
would be used to improve Prospect Park.
The receipts. l understand. were about

doubts that Prospect Park affords ample
opportunity for improvement II we had
$1,000. It would not come amiss; and
might make some showing" on the park.
But in taekling Prospect Park with Sic
the ladies' seem to me to be biting of
more than they will be able to mastieate.
Wouldn't It be wise to put their energies
and their small resources into something
that is more likely to tell for immediate
civic good.
Our town lawns are threatened with
extinction il the dsndelion pest is no.

neglected last spring tprobably because
there is not sufficient popular knowledge
Of wha, the extension Of the pest means)
and there is tremendous need that pop

on its destruction be in some way en-
phasised this spring. And we cannot
begin the campaign of education too
early. Couldn't the Civic Improvement

REMARKABLE SUCCESS
Another Invention Destined to Be-
come nost Popular of
rloderu Times.

come NOSt Popular OF
Hodern Times.
Modern civilization owes its progress
largely to invention; to the development
of methods of doing things mechanically
so as to increase the efficiency Of a
pair of hands. Every invention has for
its purpose one or more Of three things
to do better work. to do it more quickly
or to save labor. The Peerless Steam
Washer. which is being introduced here
in to Rocky Ford and vicinity. is in keep
ing with this idea inasmuch as it does all
three.
Beyond question the washing" is the
drudge of woman's life and has been
since the first woman took her girdle OF
reeds down to the rivers edge and rinsed
it in the water. To relieve this drudRery
and make it as light as possible there
have been many devices invented. mostly
within the memory Of the older generation
of today. beginning with the old pound
barrell" and including the rub-board and
the various modern washing machines.
The prevalent idea has always been
that the clothes had to be pulled and
twisted and ehurned and rubbed to get
the dirt out. and all washing machines
heretofore seem to be built on this plan.
But rubbing the clothes either by hand
or by machinery is not only hard on the
one who does the work. but is also very
hard on the clothes.
The Peerless Steam Washer is differ
ent from all other machines. for it does
away with all rubbing either by machine
or by hand. 1t is 50 constructed that it
Qener ates large quantity Of steam and
continually forces twenty-four streams Of
steam and water and soap-suds thru the
clothes The steam and heat expands
the cloth and loosens the dirt which is
forced out by the motion Of the water. 1t
is the machine and the rub-bosrd and the
boiler altogether. It cleans and blsaehss
and stsrilizss al In one operation. There
10 no heavy machinery to turn; Il prae-
teally runs itself. It also cleans all the
eolorsd clothes BY a special process. l,
does excellent work IN half the tims
OF her methods take and with prae-
tieally no labor at all. 1t seems destined
to be one Of the most popular inventions
Of modern times.
The boys who are introducing this new
Washer here are using unique and
raetieal method Of getting it before the
people. They claim great deal for their
ma chine but they stand ready to back ur
their claims BY absolute proof. During the
last fswI weeks. they have done the reg
ular washings in the homes Of 20 Of the
best families in Rocky Ford and in every
Instance they have received an uneondi-
tional Recommendation and in most cases
from one to Ave orders for machines by
people who had watched the tests, ever
though many Of them had the best Of the
old style machines.
The boys have their Office and demon
str ation rooms in the old Amos Office il

ings as well as late in the afternoon fol
the convenience Of those who wish to ex'
anime the washer. People who hav'
seen this new invention say their tint
and energy is well spent and that 1t viii
pay anyone to make i. point Of sesini
it when they have the opportunity.
