London, May 3.-Although Louvois
won the Two Thousand Guineas at
Newmarket and thus became proml-
nent for the Derby. many critics still
prefer Craganour. especially as Reiff
had to use hand and heel to take Lou

horses are now o TO 2. Radiant. a
brother OF Sunstar. which once won
the Derby on three legs. Is also fan
cied as n candidate 10 the great classic
this year, az also IL Sanquhar. Still
another Is Day Comet. Many bettors
are still sweet on Shotgun, whose price
is 6 to l.
Anmer. the property OF King George,
IS held at 40 to l.
The report that the famous White
Knight. an erstwhile winner of the

Suggestions For The Preven-
% ton Of Typhoid. e.

pose the same thing was done last
year.
Now,. while there has been no SER
lous amount of typhoid for three or
Tour years, yet, under present sani-
rtary conditions it may come. We are
not safe. We must improve our de-
lenses and be vigilant ii we would
remain free from invasion by this in
sidious enemy. We can be free if we
will
Preliminary to discussion of
measures of prevention you should
know the basic fact upon which all
|anti-typhoid sanitation is founded. 1t
Is this-typhoid fever is filth dis
case. Every one who has ever had
typhoid has had it because he has ta-
Ken into his stomach somewhat of the
discharges of a previous patient, eth
er OF sputa, or OF urine, or of feces-
usually thel after. There is no other
way.
Our problem then is to keep man
kind from eating or drinking the de-
jecta of mankind. While at first
flush this may seem to you an easy
thing to do, it is actually compli-
Gated task. Slight contamination will
carry disease. The following are the
recommendation for our community
First, compulsory sewer connec-
ton Nothing you can do will i'm
prove health conditions so much as
this one measure. Sewers should be
extended to the uttermost limits of
the town, and the town should be
extended to take in all the suburbs,
including the fair grounds.
Second, where there are no sewers,
and until sewer connection can be
made, all privics should be made fly
tight. The room should be screened,
but especially should it be impossible
for flies to- enter the vault.
Third, privy vaults, though fly
tight, are still a menace to the els
terms OF the neighborhood. Built as
most cisterns are the walls often
crack, but oftener become. worn so
thin as to permit seepage of soil wat
mates our cisterns. Therefore, the
water from all cisterns should be
tested each spring and as frequently
thereafter as the health officer or
householder may think necessary.
Ether this or close all cistcrns.
Fourth, careful protection of our
city reservoir.
Fifth, regulation of the selling of
milk in the city. As condition for
receiving license to sell, each seller
should be rigidly required to report
promptly all cases of sickness in his
family, among his employees or the
family OF his employees.
Sixth, strictly enforced measures
for preventing the breeding of flies.
To this end there should be compul-
sorry cleaning OF every lot, corral, sta
BILE yard, stable and barn every week
from April to October, the refuse to
be burned or hauled to suitable
place. beyond the city limits.
Seventh, proper quarantine of each
typhoid patient. This implies thor
ough sterilization of the discharges

WILL BUILD GOOD ROADS
State Tax on Automobiles for This
Purpose VIII Help Some.

With the appropriation by the State
Highway Commission Of 1928. 900 to be
used Immediately in the various counties
in the construction Of state highways.
the work Of building good roads in Colo
rado will be pushed vigorously during the
coming summer.
The commission has adjourned until
May whsn further apportionmsnts will
be considered. In the meantime the var
ious members Of the board will visit the
several counties in their districts and re-
communications will then be made at the
next meeting Of the board regarding the
further expenditure Of state funds.
Copies Of the new highway commission
law have been printed by the Colorado
Good Roads Association. and sent to
every board Of county commissioners in
the state in order to aequaint them with
the provisions bf the new law. The leg
islatufe has also passed the bill provid-
ing for a state tax for automobiles. OF
the sum thus derived. one half goes to
the counties in which the tax originates,
while the other half goes to the state
road fund. One of the benefits derived
from such an act is that the automobile
owner in this state will not have to se-
cure license or permit to drive his car
in every city or town in Colorado in
which he may 60. The license is state
wide. Visitors are allowed to travel
ninety days in the state without being
required to take out license. This bill
is also being printed by the Colorado
Good Roads Association. and copies of
either acts may be had by addressing the
Secretary Of the Association. 5l2 Cham
ber of Commerce building. Denver.
An active publicity campaign to at
tract the tourist to this state is soon to
be commenced by the Association. One
of the greatest advertisements Colorado
can have is the fact that during the pres
ent year hundreds of thousands of dol
lars will be expended for good roads in
this state. This fact. together with de-
scriptions Of the scenic roads of Colorado
will be published broadcast. and requests
have already been received by the Asso-
citation for stories and pictures on Colo
rado.
In order to successfully carry out this
campaign, the Colorado Good Roads As
sociation is striving to secure 5000
members in this state. The membership
fee OF the organization is but one dollar
per year, and every county in Colorado
will be asked to join in the campaign.

CIRCULATE PETITIONS
For Candidates for Directors
Rocky Ford School District

On Wednesday petitions were oirculat-
cd endorsing the candidacy Of c. j. Cover
and J.O. Bartholomew for the positions Of
school directors for the six-years terms.
These gentlemen were first proposed by
the Enterprise and at a CAUCUS following
the meeting Of the Otero Agricultural club
last Saturday afternoon the suggestion
was SO enthusiastically endorsed that the
gentlemen could not consistently refuse
so universal a CALL and as soon as the
necessary papers arrived they were cir
culated about town with the result that
In very short time the necessary sign
atures had been secured.
So far as heard from, these are the
only candidates for the long terms. and it
would indeed require unlimited nerve for
any person to make the race against this
pair of farmers, who are so well qualified
for the positions and will so carefully
guard the interests Of people and pupils
alike.
At the same time that these petitions
were circulated one placing in nomination
the present secretary of the board
Paul M North-to fill the position made
vacant by the resignation OIL. A.Butterfie'd
was also started on the way and quite
generally signed. but Mr.. North will have
a contest for the position. as another petit
ton was started yesterday and is being
enthusiastieall received.
His contestant for the two-ysar term is
John E. Lawson. who was also first sug-
gested by the Enterprise. and we have
no hssitaney in declaring or belief that .
man o: more business ability. moral
stamina and all-around worth upon the
board could not we'll be chosen.

FARMERS HEAR
MRS. HARBERT
Interesting Talk on Better
ment of Farm Homes
SPEAKER is PRESIDENT OF
CONGRESS OF FARM WOMEN
And doodiy Sum was Raised to Send
Her to the Next Meeting In
0hent, Belgium.


With each week the meetings of
the Otero County Agricultural
association have been constantly
increasing in attendance, but that
of last Saturday was record
breaker, it being the largest in the
history of the organization. 1t
was also the most interesting
meeting that has yet been held.
Almost the entire afternoon was
given over 10 the subject of send
ing Mrs. Belle Harbert, president
of the International Congress of
Farm Women, to the next meeting
of the congress which will be held
at Ghent, Belgium.
Mrs. Harbert was present as the
speaker of the afternoon and gave
a most interesting account of the
founding of the Congress and its
work during the two years Of it's
existence, and of its future hopes
Mrs. Harbert in speaking of the
objects of the congress, said:
II consider the rural home prob
lem one of the greatest to be con-
sidered by the world today and it
is the object of the congress to
better the conditions of the women
on the farm and in this way make
the farm so attractive that desert
ed farms will be unknown.
Unless something is done to
help the farm women to make the
home ore convenient, IN o re
beautiful and furnish more enjoy
ment. the girls being educated in
the schools today will not take the
places of their mothers on ths
farm. Every kind of labor-saving
machine is being invented for the
farm but few farm homes have
been made modern and conven-
lent.
The farm women have been the
last great body of workers to or
ganize but in the few months that
they have been banded together
wonders have been accomplished"
Mrs. Harbert stated that the
work was but just begun and that
great things were expected at the
next meeting of the congress-,
which she hoped to attend.
There were a number of speak
ers in favor of sending Mrs. Har-
bert to Belgium and a committee
WAS appointed to secure funds and
nearly 500 was subscribed by
those in attendance at the meet
ing.
"Beet Raising" and "The
Home Garden" will be the sub
jects of Saturdays meeting, when
ID. L. Joehnck is expected to
speak on the former subject.
