Performance is mans best pedi-
gree.
Work never hurt any one who didn't
want to be hurt.
There Is nothing that gives a man
such safe anchorage in life as a good
wife.
Temptation Is only an invitation;
It does not become a wrong until you
accept it.
Always Keep your promises, no mat
ter Ii doing so causes you whole
lot of Inconvenience.
Steps saved are wages saved, and
well-arranged premises save steps.
Make these plans before it Is too late
to change them
The test Of neighborliness Is in
helping the man you dislike most of
all. When certain man fell among
thieves it was his bitterest enemy that
saved his life.
When you seem to see trouble ev-
9ryWhere, when others faults annoy
you, and when the whole world seems
blue, consult an oculist-your glasses
may be out Of date.
The man who does right because it
Is right hits the bull's-eye; but the
fellow who does right merely to ap-
pear well In the opinion Of his friends
Is a mighty poor shot.
Has somebody hurt your feelings?
Don't let your feelings control you.
Let your common sense assert its au-
thority. Feelings" might be defined

Shot With a Knife.

Years ago in stock performance of
a famous old melodrama, the villain,
Charles Wolcott, suddenly discovered
that he had left his revolver in the
dressing room. In much confusion, he
tumb1ed in his pocket and found a
penknife which, he figured, would do

Can't Blame Farmer.

A bank president of Ofkus county,
Oklahoma, states that history does
not record one single instance of a
bank failure where the loans were
made to farmers, and says It never
will be because the closest intimacy
exists between the banks and the
farmer in the matter Of loans and de-
posts.

cANTALOUPE MOVEMENT
carlOt Shipments Are Slowly But
Surely Increasing

Owing to the cool nights with which we
are favored the cantaloupe crop continues
to hold back wonderfully and it will be a
week yet before the season is in full
swing. In consequence all the local stuff
is being cleared from the Eastern mar
kets and when our superior melons get
IN they will have clear field and will
command good prices.
The first carlot shipment was Of Eden
Gem melons grown by the Eureka Melon
Growers association and was sent out to
Chicago on Monday by c. H. Weaver
g. Co.
Gu the same night the Rocky Ford Mel
on Growers association, through Crutch-
field and Voolfolk. sent out an express
car for the Pittsburg market.
Amongst the well known eantaloupe
men who have put in their appearance
this week areGuy Pearson. chief office man
for Lyon & Coggins, who came in Satur-
urday. and W. 3. johnson of Young &
Mathis. who arrived from his home In
Blaokville, S. c., on Tuesday. The lat
ter was preceded some three days by
sixteen young men who will constitute the
field force IN the big cantaloupe patch at
Newdale.
According to word received Wednesday
evening the first crate Of Hart's Victor
cantaloupes were sold In Chicago forS l S.
The melons were from the Brown &

A splendid crowd out at the Rocky
Ford diamo last Sunday had the pleas
ure of seeing the local team win de-
cisive victory from the Lithia Bottlers Of
Pueblo. While some good plays were
made on both sides the game as a whole
was uninteresting. the home team seour-
ing lead at the start that was never
overcome and which was increased with
almost every inning. Morgan was in the
box for the home team and for the most
part had the visitors at his mercy, strik-
ing out fourteen men. The visitors played
good fielding game. but the superior
stick work Of Rocky Ford won them the
game.

SOMB OAT CROPS
One Hundred TWENTY Bushels to Acre
of Colorado White


Several reoord-breaking crops of grain
have been reported in this section of the
Arkansas Valley this year. and amongst
the number the Enterprise wishes to
enter those of R. v. Waterman and c. N.
Gibeson, which we believe are entitled to
blue ribbons in their class:
On Wednesday R. v. Waterman. the
well known farmer residing mile west
of town, ,threshed the oats from his field
of little less than five acres, and found
that he had 5z8 bushels from the tract
He estimates that he fed his stock fully
rs bushels before threshing, so that the
yield from his field averaged better than
l2O bushels to the acre.
Mr., Gbeson is this year farming
portion of the Will Mcintosh place at the
Newdale school and from seven and four
tenths acres of ground he last week
threshed exactly ze5 bushels of oats,
which figures out a fraction over lO6
bushels to the acre.
The oats are of the variety known as
Colorado White. which were imported
from Canada a few years ago by the A.
B. S. Co.. and were grown on measured
ground and carefully weighed so there
can be no doubt as to the genuinen ess Of
these record crops.
