Back from Eastern Trip

|. D. Hale returned home on Saturday
from an extended and very pleasant trip
back east. While away Dodge attended
the annual meeting of the Western Job
bers Association in St. Louis. and after
ward he in company with 500 other del
egates. travelled from Chicago via special
train to New York to attend the national
convention of the Commission Mems As
sociation. Numerous stops were made on
the way and the delegates were royalty
entertained at all the large cities enroute.
But the most important meeting attended
by Mr.. Hale was the organization of the
Western Cantaloupe Exchange. All the
leading cantaloupe commission houses
were represented at the meeting. and all
were in hearty accord with the regula-
tions adopted, which are not "in restraint
of trade" Mr.. Hale emphatically asserts.
but rather looking to its betterment, one
important object being to regulate the
shipment so that there will be no "glut-
ting the market" at any point during the
shipping season.

PIE. O's. Hold Annual Banquet

or all the distinguished array Of fra
ternal brotherhoods and sisterhoods orga-
nized for the purpose of promoting hu-
manity among the human species. we
have nothing in Rocky Ford quite SO Sc
leot and exclusive as the p. E. O's. This
organization of college girls and school,
ma'ams. and few others who wear blue
stockings. held its annual banquet last
Monday evening at the home of Mrs.
Henry Hardey on South Seventh St The
members of the B. |. L. fraternity, which
is the male auxiliary of the sisterhood. is
invited to be present at these annual do
ings, and they attended in full force Mon
day night. The Hardey home was most
beautifully decorated for the occasion, in
the colors of the society. white and yellow.
For club favors long stemmed clusters of
the beautiful white and yellow narcissus
were presented each Of the male guests
and worn by the ladies; and large vases
of the same flower adorned the parlors.
One of the hermetically sealed secrets Of
the order is the meaning of its title .initi-
ais P. E. o.. and the only conclusion
reached by the B. |. LIS. Monday night
at the banquet spread for them was that
it stood for Plenty Of Everything Order
ed"
There were several things on the even
ng's program but the chief feature. aside
from the banquet, was the initiation into
the auxiliary order Of six new members.
The Extensive and Elevated Order Of the
Bills traces its illustrious history clear
back to Bildad the Shuhite, who was one
of the masculine comforters of Job when
his wife went back on nim-or at least
when she dsparged his optimistic theory
that all things work together for good to
the man who attends prayer meetings.
However, whether this claim is well
founded or not, it is true that all the six
new Bills of Monday evening were dads
except one, and he has hopes. 1t ought
to be mentioned that the candidates were
all gorgeously arrayed for the impressive
ceremony in loud and brilliant kimonas,
furnished for the occasion from their
wives wardrobes. and they all acquitted
themselves with the dignity becoming the
solemn occasion,
The last feature of the program-that
is. it is to be hoped it was the last-was
the after-dinner speeches made by some
OF the Bills in response to toasts offered
by the toast-mistress, Mrs. Garner. DR..
Blotz is attending the surviving members
of the bunch. and hopes to pull some Of
them through.

INJUNCTION ISSUED
Federal Court Grants Request of the
Santa Fe Railroad

In the United State court at Denver on
Tuesday Judge Riner granted the Santa
Fe railroad company temporary in
junction restraining the authorities of
otero and F Paso counties from collect
ing assessment on the property of the
company which passes through this dis
trict. At the same time the court ordered
the Santa Fe to pay into the county trea-
sury slz.65o. No resistsnse was offered
by county attorney Sabin to the is
suance Of the injunction
As Enterprise readers are aware the
Santa Fe formerly rendered to the county
treasurer S2e.55 "a in payment of their
taxes. which the treasurer refused to ae-
cept. The county officials employed
counsel to fight the case and expended,
it is said.s5ooo in this way, making a
total loss to the county of over $4,000.
But bear in mind, dear reader, that the
taxpayers pay the bill.

COLLECTS COWBOY BALLADS
4 University Professors Fad Ha.
Grown Into q Serious Business.

4 University Professors Fad Ha.
Grown Into q Serious Business.
From a fad ballad collecting has
grown into business with Prof John
A. Lomax of the University of Texas
Professor Lomax lectured at the Uni.
versity of Missouri last year. Har-
ward University has recognized his
interest and has encouraged it by ap-
pointing him to one of its travelling
fellowships. and for several years
now he has been collecting cowboy
songs, plantation melodies, mining
and lumber songs. steamboat and rial
road songs and every kind of folk
song that has American origin. The
results of his labors go into the Har-
ward Library, which is already dis
tinguished in folklore by having the
largest collection of old English bal
lads.
Mr.. LomaX's career as an American
folklore expert started in 1907, when
he was a graduate student in Harvard
University. He was taking advanced
courses in English under Professors
George Kittredge and Barnett Wen
dell and spoke to them of some OF the
cowboy songs that he had been fa-
miliar with since his boyhood days
in Texas. They were immensely in
terested in these curious chants and
in the rough. homeiy but expressive
words sung to them, and encouraged
Mr.. Lomax to make some systematic
investigation into these songs of the
plains. Under such auspices he felt
encouraged to take up what had been
a fad as a serious study. The result
is a great body of American folk
songs which he has already gathered
and contributed to the Harvard Ii
brary and more which he is now col
lecting.

BEGIN RIGHT.

Some one has said that work rightly
begun is half finished.
To begin the college year right
means better work, better results and
consequently more satisfaction in the
end. If the work is allowed to drag
and accumulate, the end of the Sc
mester will find the student in a hope
less jungle. He may be able to pass
his examinations but he will not get
full benefit out of the course.
Get into the fight early. Attend
classes. prepare the assignments,
meet the work at least half way. and
the end OF the semester will find an
optimistic, satisfied student.

THE FIRST YEAR STUDENT.

Many of those wearing white. pur-
pie, yellow, black, red and green caps
or no caps at all, are away from home
for their first extended stay. They
are in the midst of a strange life
The new conditions fill their time with
continual excitement.
These first-year students miss the
familiar things of the old home. And
they are missed at home. Behind
them they have left parents whose
prayers are mingled with fears. Par
ents realize fully the trials of the boy
or the girl away from home for the
first time They are anxious that
their boy or girl gets good room
and good board and above all good
associates.
1t is for the new student to do his
part, to do as his parents would have
him to do, and to keep the folks at
home informed of progress. How good
is letter from home. Just that good
is the letter that mother eagerly
awaits at home. Write home and tell
the folks all the good things. anyway.

Cutting an Index.

Students taking languages
can save much time by cut
ting an index to the vocabu-
laries in their books. The
index somewhat defaces the
book. but the time saved in
looking up translations more
than compensates.
You can cut the index
yourself. The only tools
needed are a sharp pocket
knife, a ruler. and a piece of
cardboard. Having procured
the tools, lay the cardboard
in front of the first A"
page. Turn fifty or seventy
five pages from the body of
the book back on top OF the
cardboard. Place the ruler
about three-eights OF an inch
from the outside margin OF
the top page thus turned
back and trim from end to
end. You have now good
space to get your thumb
freely to any letter of the
index.
Next. put the cardboard in
front of the "B" pages. Turn
the "A" pages and those you
have trimmed on top of it.
Do not now trim the full
length of the page, but leave
a tab at the top OF "A"
pages and on the first OF
these you will. of course,
write "a. Follow the same
method for each letter of the
alphabet leaving the tabs
longer for each succeeding
letter.
