Forty Bushels to
the City Lot.

The Enterprise has had consider
able to say about the cultivation OF
vacant city lots. The unsightliness
of the lots inspired the thought OF
identifying the town by growing
vegetables where the rank weeds
now hold forth.
Mr.. A. H. Hitchcock drove to the
Enterprise office load of as pretty
vans as ever grew in any soil
raised on raw wiregrass lands, first
years crop at about the rate of 4OO
bushels per acre Or 40 bushels pei
lot.
Think of it, one city lot growing
wiregrass, devils shoe string and
rank weeds, will produce enough pc
tatoes to supply a small family.
The easiest crop in the world and
one of the surest, and one that fills
a longfelt want
The Enterprise would like to see
several hundred of these vacant
lots utalized and beautified with
potatoe crop next spring.
If the council for any reason hest
tates about giving authority for the
cultivation of the vacant lots then
we suggest and strongly urge the or.
SANITATION of a club or that some OF
the clubs already organized take
hold of the matter and encourage
the cultivation of vacant lots.
Wouldn't we have a beautiful.

turned into a vegetable garden, or

The Game Season.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct, 7-Beeinnine
October 1st. the hunting season
for deer, fox and squirrels opened
fin Georgia. The season will close
January first. Three male deer is
the limit for single huptsnan for
the season, under the new law re-
Gently put on the statute books by
the legislature.
The law pertaining to killing three
deer, however. applies exclusively
to bucks. All persons are abso-
lutely prohibited under pain OF
heavy fine and imprisonment,
from killing or trapping any female
deer until December 1st, 1916.
This section was put into the new
law because of the scarcity of deer.
Huntsmen predicted last year that
unless some such law were passed,
the deer family would be extinct
in Georgia within less than a decade
The new game law also provides
for the issuance of licenses to all
hunters. Any resident of the state
can obtain a license 20 hunt in his
resident county. The licence shall
be signed by the commissioner and
county warden.
The state lie enses cost So and
the license for non resident is SIS
They are in each instance pro-
cured from the warden of the coun'
ty in which the hunting is to done
The county warden, under the
law, receives a small fee for issu-
inc licenses, ard in an addition re-
ceives one fourth of all the fines
penalties and forfeitures collected
in cases where he does not arrest
and produce evidence to convict
the violater,
In cases where he makes the
arrest and gets up the evidence
himself, his share of the fine is
three fourths of the total. Under
other circumstances the person
causing the arrest and giving the
evidence gets one half So that If
all cases one fourth goes to the
state.
All persons are prohibited under
the new law from selling or offering
for sale any game. The punish
ment for violation of this section is
a fine of not less than $40. or more
than 500. and to serve on the pub
lie works from 5 to 80 days within
the discretion of the judge.
Any common carrier or employe
of such common carrier, or any per
son who presents to a common car
rier game to be shipped without the
state, shall be guilty of a misde
meanOr.

Warrington promised his friends to
buy the box they wanted for one day
at the automobile races. The best
thing Warrington does is to oblige his
friends. and all the others had said
they had no time to attend to the mat
ter
The broker he went to said that
while boxes were very scarce. ne
thought by paying a premium he
might be able to wrench one by main
force from the eager throngs that
were battling for them, provided Var
rington would take it for the two
days. When he escaped from the
broker Warrington had parted with
$40. but he figured on quickly disposl
ing of the box for Friday, and the
$50 that would be left was not much
split up among the crowd.
He had his first Jolt the next morn
ing when Plentz telephoned that i'm
perative business called him to San
Francisco, so his name must be
scratched off the list At noon Ker-
mack called up to say there was sud
den rush of business at the Office and
1t was absolutely impossible for him
to get away Saturday, SO Warrington
must count him out. At three Wood

thought they might as well call off the

When the office boy came back that
night he looked haggard. He said
that by telling the people he was the
only support of three widowed mothers
and eight brothers and sisters he had
sold the Friday tickets among the
throng at the track for a paltry dollar
apiece. He said he had intended TO
invest in one himself but that in a
lucky moment he had hunted out the
box and sat in it. He regretted TO
say that 1t was the very worst one
there for position and that after ne
had found he would have an unre-
stricted view OF one pest a corner OF

Colorado Dry, 1912" Liquor
is no longer needed as a medi-
cine, according to the greatest
European experts. In Germany
they have experimental by
giving school girls light wine
and school boys a single glass of
bser and found that they can
neither add or memorise as rap
idly as without the wine and beer.
Our young people are being con-
stantly tempted at first-class res
taurants and appetite in many
cases rapidly develops.
The question is often asked has
the state a right to make Denver
dry? Whopays the bills? Ninety
percent of the inmates of our in
stitution at Canon City are there
because of the liquor traffic.
Seventy-fve percent of our in
sane are in Pueblo for the same
cause. The people are taxed,
not just those of Denver, to sup
port these institutions.
The goal has been set for Nat
ional Prohibition in 1920. AS
soon as two thirds of the states
are dry an amendment can be
added to the constitution of the
United States. We, of the Cen
tennial state, should be among
the first instead of waiting until
the last dog is hung. Colorado
already has much dry territory,
but unless we make the state dry
some say they will have to have
saloons, because the breweries
are sending men out and paying
them ten dollars a day to break
down our laws by slyly selling
wet goods, According TO the
News we have had three murders
every week during the last year
and Maine has had only three in
q year. Isn't prohibition, with
all its obstacles, better than high
license at its best? The same
contest is going on in other states
so that the liquor men cannot con-
centrate their energies upon Col
orado.
These are a few of the points
taken by Mrs. Hungerford and

After Warrington had confded some
bitter things to himself over the
treachery OF humanity in general he
hunted up the broker and asked hln
to take back the tickets He had no
conjunction about this. as there was
such a demand for them. The, broker
smoothly said he had such quantity
of boxes on hand that he really could
not think of paying the full price Tor
Yarrington's, but that he would at
great personal sacrifice give Yarring-
ton $40 for it.
Thereupon Warrington said iew
sharp things and departed, resolved to
sell the tickets himself since selling
was so much more profitable than
buying.
He called up Wattles and asked II
he didn't want box for one day at
the automobile races. Wattes jumped
at the chance, so Warrington sens Over
the tickets and bill for $40. Wa
ties nearly tore the telephone out oy
the roots and the boy with the tickets
came back looking very much as
though he had been shot out OF a
gun.
1t seemed that Wattles thought
Warrington was giving him the box.
and so the bill offended him hugely.
After that Warrington heard OF a
man who wanted to go to the races.
and promised to send over the tickets.
Before he did SO Kefnack phoned that
on no account was Warrington to dis
pose of the box, as he had some
friends to whom he had promised 1t.
After Warrington had told the other
man that he could not have the tick
cts Kernack called up to say that his
friends were leaving town and he
didn't want the box after all.
By this time Warrington was in an
exceedingly tense and nervous state
and hated the world vehemently. lie
was cynic on the subject OF friend
ship and desperate as regards his $40.
1t was manifestly impossible for him
to stand on the street corner and
wave the tickets in the faces OF the
passers.by. but he hit on another
plan.
Taking the Office boy into corner
he thrust the hated tickets into his
hands.
You 90 out there to the track he
ordered "and sell these tickets for
what you can get, Don't you dare
come back with them, because Ii |
ever set eyes on them again | can
answer for the result
A little later Woodmere telephoned
that he wanted the seats for his cous-
ms family. and when he learned that
they were unavailable he said that
Warrington might think that was the
right way to treat a friend OF long
standing. but as for himself he had his
own opinion of such conduct lie
said that Warrington might have
known he would want the tickets II
Warrington had given the matter the
slightest thought,
