LIVING MADE UNPLEASANT
BY "PLAGUE OF BATS"

According to communication just re-
ceived by the Department Of Agriculture,
plague Of bats has made living un-
pleasant in parts of Kentucky. In reply
to request for information as to how
the bats may be kept out of houses, the
biological survey states that the only
way is to make dwellings bat proof by
stopping up the holes where the bats nest,
and that it is impra cticable to kill them
with sulphur or other fumes, as they will
die in the house and their dead bodies be-
come a nuisance.
The holes may be discovered by watch
ing at twilight to see where the bats come
out of the building, and they should be
stopped up at night, while the bats. are
abroad.
AS rule bats do not migratee from one
section of the country to another, but
when driven from some habitation, as a
tree or a cave, which has been destroyed.
they may attract attention by selecting q
new abode.

A good part of all the fall disorders
are due to improper body care, too much
food and badly prepared food; often too
little exercise and fresh air, and too
much clothing-these things cause. eth
er directly or indirectly, most of the fall
diseases.
In the fall get ready for cold weather

peoially fats. However, if you are al
ready eating too much. don't increase
your heavy food. but cut it down. At
the same time give the body an abun-
dance of fresh air. and if you want to
stand well the sudden changes and the
cold weather. avoid overheating the body
with rooms too warm and with clothing
too heavy. Take a sponge bath or
rub down every day. and if you are an
indoors man take one or two good walks.
These things constitute good body
care; upon them depend health, The

our natural inheritance, but for the most
of US the proper care of the body is

Would Like a Company Recruited In

There is an excellent opportunity for
our young men to show their loyalty to
home and country, as well as to receive
the benefits of a good military drill, if
they will but take advantage of it. and so
enroll themselves with Secretary Miller

is in receipt of the following letter from
Col. w. A. DAVIS of the Second Colorado
Infantry:
"We have a vacancy OF one company in
the Second regiment and your city has
been mentioned as a very desirable point
for this company. We would be very
much pleased if you would take this mat
ter up and see il it is possible to organize
company in your city. If there is suf-
ficient encouragement an officer will be
sent to Rocky Ford to assist in the organ
zing of the company.
There is much to be derived for the
benefit of a city in the way of advertising
and also results in the occupancy OF one
Of your best halls or buildings for an ar
mory and money expended by the state

GAS BY JUNE
Work on Pipe Line will Be-
gin Early in Spring
FIFTEEN TO ONE FOR
GAS IN LA JUNTA
Ninety-Seven For and Seven Against
at Gas Franchise Election
Last Week

G. M. Culver, the promoter and
representative of the Rocky Noun
tain Gas Co., spent Tuesday in
this city and informed The Enter
prise that work upon the COM
pany's gas plant will be under
way just as soon as the frost is
out of the ground next spring.
Although no apprehension was
felt over the franchise election in
La Junta, the company had made
no definite statements until after
the election last week, when the
vote of 81 for to Z against grant
ing the franchise was registered,
since which time they are getting
things in readiness for an early
start.
Mr.. Culver says that four gangs
of men will be on the job lust as
early as possible next spring
one being employed in erecting
the gas plant, the second in dig
ging trenches in La Junta. third
on the same kind of work in
Rocky Ford, and a fourth putting
in the pipe line between La Junta
and this city. He is quite conf
dent that the company will be
ready to supply gas to local con-
sumers not later than the month
Of June.
The gas plant will be located
on the tract of land owned by the
city of La Junta, where the old
pump house is now located, the
site for the plant having been
donated to the company by that
city as one of the considerations
for making low rate for gas.

SMALLPOX SCARE OVER
State Health Officer Tells Council
There VIII Be No Futher Trouble
City Dads Worry Over Bills

At the regular meeting of the city
council on Friday evening DR.. Morgan of
the state board of health in company
with DR., Barbour, the city health officer.
appeared before the board for the pur-
pose of giving the aldermen an expert
report of the smallpox situation.
DR., Barbour reported that the true con-
dition of affairs had been greatly magni-
fed by neighborhood gossip and false
reports and at no time had the epidemic
been beyond control of the city health
officers. He laid the blame for the con-
tinuance of the epidemic to the fact that
so many people would persist in hiding
the disease until their neighbors had been
exposed to the infection, and urged the
utmost promptitude in reporting even the
most casual sickness. He gave the
cheering news that the situation was
clearing up rapidly and expressed the
opinion that the embargo upon moving
picture shows and public meetings could
be remved in about two weeks.
DR.. Morgan followed with the deolar-
alton that the epidemic was being ad-
mirably handled and that the city was
fortunate in having a man like DR.. Bar
bour as health officer regarding the time
allowed in lifting the ban over public
meetings and stated that from his in
vestigation he believed this city would
have little or no further trouble from
smallpox.
At this meeting of the council the reg
ular monthly grist of bills came in and
there was low deep rumbling that be-
tokened storm when some grocers
presented their statements for feeding
smallpox patients. From these it appear
ed that the supposed recipients of muni-
cipal charity had in reality been living off
the fat Of the land, and on motion the
whole batch was laid over for investiga-
ton until the adjourned meeting on Tues
day evening.
At this meeting the franchise ordinance
was read for the third time and passed.
as was also the ordinance relating to the
sanitary condition Of vaults, grease traps
and cesspools.
Then the council took another try a,
the smallpox grocery bills and after
wedding out some Of the more glarinR
attempts to work" the city for expensive
luxuries or for the keep Of families where
the heads thereof had not been under
quarantine and were well able to provide
for all wants. the bills Of deserving cases
were allowed and the council adjourned.

THE RURAL SCHOOLS
VIII Be Topic of Interest at State
Teachers 1eeting in Pueblo

President E. C. Cash of the Village
end Rural School section of the Colorado
State Teachers Association. which will
meet in Pueblo, November 24-25. has
asked this paper to make an especial
appeal to people in the school work Of
this county regarding the work OF his
section. Their program for the year is
the best ever offered. The presence of
men of state wide reputation. such as
President Lory Of the Agricultural COL
lege and W. B. Mooney of the State
Teachers College. will make the session
in the Centennial auditorium Monday
morning at o'clock, both an inspiration
and a source OF information to all who
are interested in the progress OF the
country and the upbuiding of the rural
schools. The program has statewide
interest. as all sections of Colorado are
represented in subjects and speakers.
The inter-relation of country and city
owing to modern Improvements such as
good roads. automobiles, telephone and
parcels post, make this program OF spec
ial interest even to city people, who are
invited to JOIN in making this meeting a
big success.
THE Improvement of Rural School
conditions" and the necessary legislation
incident thereto, will be the subject of
discussion at the meeting of the Eduoa-
tional Council Of the State Teachers As
sociation on the Saturday preceding the
convention. The committee Of this eoun-
Gil have to great extent shaped school
legislation in this state for many years,
The minimum wage law. teachers pen
sions, the state home for detectives, the
state board Of examiners. and the state
certifcation of teachers, are all fruits of
their efforts. 1t is to be hoped that the
council will this year be equally success
full in fathoming the present day needs OF
the rural schools and obtaining for them
from the state the financial support
which they should hnve.

a window or two partly open; at night
throw the bedroom windows wide open
and If necessary put on more covering
and put artificial heat in the bed. Avoid
overheated houses; they make the body

cold.
The skin when in good condition helps
to keep US warm and to keep US well.

the skin in good condition by taking a
tepid sponge bath followed by thorough
rubbing with dry towel each day. II

rundown either on first getting up, or on
going to bed.
Don't oyerolothe the skin. Woolen un-
derwear and heavy underwear over
heats the skin when indoors and on
warm days. and makes it more difficult
to keep warm. Wear cotton underwear
not too heavy. and outside clothing suffi-
cient to keep warm.

SUGAR BEET
LEADS in State
The Industry Bests Alfalfa
By $5,O0O,O00
C0LORADO'S BEET CROP
VALUED AT $50, 900, 900
Tight Be Developed to One Hundred
Million Dollars but for the
Removal of Protective Tariff

The sugar beet industry takes
its place this year as the greatest
state builder of all the farm crops
in Colorado. The total value OF
the industry, it is now certain, will
go close to $4,000, 900. For beets
the farmers will receive il the
neighborhood of SIS, 100000. This
would be $1,000, 900 more than
last year.
The alfalfa crop, which from the
beginning of farming in Colorado
has stood in the lead, will yield
this year close to the total returns
from sugar beets. Alfalfa will
score its highest yield, perhaps
$25, 100000, but cannot show the
proportionate gains of sugar beets.
In fact the growth of the sugar
beet in Colorado, since its etart
in 1900, is one of the marvels of
agriculture in this country.
At its rate of increase, and with
land practically without limit for
a proportionate extension, the in
dustry in Colorado should develop
into an annual return to the state
of $780, 100000, that is S1,500.00O
more than the total value of farm
crops in Colorado last year. but
with the removal of the tariff and
1.-the consequent enforced reduction
it is to be feared that the industry
will retrograde instead of advance.
The money for this years crop is
now being distributed through the
state, and reports from Denver are
to the effect that bank clearings
are appreciably affected by it.
According to estimates by the
sugar factory officials the total
paid to farmers in Weld county
this year for beets up to the end
of the Sc ason, which will include
the delivery of the silo beets, or
the actual cash paid to beet raisers
for all beets raised in the county,
will be $4,000, 900, SURPRISING all
previous records.
In the Arkansas Valley it is
estimated that nearly five million
dollars will this season be paid to
the sugar beet growers Of this
vast sum considerably more than
half will be paid by the American
Beet Sugar Co. before the long
campaign at the Rocky Ford
factory comes to an end about Feb.
