OUR NEXT GOVERNOR
Was Shaking Hands with Rocky Ford
PeODIe on Wednesday

Samuel d. Nicholson, the high man
on the Republican ticket as candidate
for governor, accompanied by Jack
Fraser of Denver, the man who is re-
puted to know by name more voters
than any other man in the state, spent
Wednesday afternoon in this city and
got the number" of great number
of our people who will vote the Repub-
lican ticket this, fall.
"Sam" Nicholson, as he is familiarly
known, has . clean and straightforward
personality to back up his record of up
rightness and honesty, and even during
his short visit there were several Dem
ocrats who vouchsafed the information
that they would vote for him if he re-
ceived the nomination for governor, as
they knew that he would prove an able
champion of law and order and would
impartially enforce the laws of the
state

FARM
ACCOUNTS

There are two classes of eNpendi-
lures on the farm; one class en-
braces expenditures for permanent
improvements and equipment and the
other class embraces all OF the opcr-
ating expenses OF the farm. The first
class is called Capital Expenditures
and The second Revenue ENpendi-
lures
One thing that often makes it APP
pear that farmer is not getting
proper returns from the money and
labor invested in the farm is that
proper account is not taken OF the
outlay from which he gets benefits
over a long period OF years and not
wholly in the year in which the
money is spent, nor in the year fol
lowing.
The following will show in a very
brief way. the principles involved in
dividing the expenditures into the
above mentioned classes. An exam
pie will be taken OF loo acres home
stead.
Before filing on piece OF land,
the prospective homcsteadcr usually
makes few trips to look it over,
then he files. All the expenses in
cident to these trips and the filing
are a part OF the cost OF the land
and so an account representing the
investment in the new homestead is
started with these items.
Now suppose that a farmer de
cides to move on to the claim AT
once and to devote his entire time TO
it. From this time on he should
charge his time to the farm at the
rate he could earn if he were not
working for himself. less what it
would cost to provide himself and
family with food and shelter. For
example. il he could earn 10000 per
month at some occupation i'll the CITY
where house rent would cost him
$500 per month and his groceries
fuel and light $1,000 per month, the
difference between the 10000 in
come and the $500 expenses, or
$500 per month would represent the
rate at which he should charge his
time to the farm, for he would be
getting his house, food and etc, from
the farm. All time and money spent
in building a house, barn. fences,
roads. irrigation bitches, clearing
ground and breaking sod, is not an
expense but an investment and part
OF a cost OF farm. All machinery
and equipment such as plows, har-
rows. drills. harness etc, also rep
resent an Investment Horses, cat
tie. hogs and chickens constitute the
third class of investments. Thus the
the Capital Expenditures. or the ex-
penditurcs from which will be real
lied over period OF years resolve
themselves into three classes, name
ly. Cost OF Land and improvements.
Cost OF Equipment, and Cost OF Live
Stock

POOL HALL PULLED
Jap Proprietor and Three Players
Are Fined Ten Apiece

On Saturday night the jap pool hall
on North Main street was pulled by
the police and Sam Nishimura, the
proprietor, and three of his friends
were placed under arrest charged with
gambling.
The Japs were given hearing by
Judge Fenlason on Monday morning,
and upon the evidence of two detec-
tives they were all found guilty and a
fine of $40 and costs was assessed
against each of the quartet.
The detectives testified that at the
end of each pool game money changed
hands between the players and that
they paid for the games besides. Sam
Nishimura denied all knowledge Of the
facts as testified to by the witnesses,
but the court thought different and
round them guilty.

HELD TO DISTRICT COURT
Mexican Woman Charged With Lar
ceny of Goods from Bonita Store

Upon change of venue from Judge
Chritton the case against Amelia
Abeyta, charged with the larceny of
goods from the Bonita store, was heard
by Judge Fenlason last Friday after
noon.
Earl Sabin of La Junta appeared as
counsel for the defendant, but offered
no testimony and his client was bound
over to the next term of the district
court, the bond being fixed at $500,
which was furnished.
Buford Mcdonald of the Bonita store
told of missing goods, consisting of
silks, ETC., and of going with the de-
fendant to her room in the st. James
where the missing goods to the amount
of three suit cases full were found.
He also testified that the defendant ad-
mitted to taking the goods from the
store and to carrying them away in her
stocking.
Mrs. J. l.. Bonita corroborated the
testimony and said that she did not
want to prosecute the defendant and
that the marshal was the complaining
witness.
Marshal Cartwright testified to hav-
ing been consulted in the case by Mr..
Mcdonald and that he swore to the
complaints as his duty.
Mrs. Lille Eichelberger who conducts
the rooming house at which the de-
fendant stayed also testified in corro-
boration of the finding of the missing
goods, and the result was as noted
above

SALOON CASES 90 OVER
Judge Patrick Refuses to Try the
SwInk Saloonmen

To the intense disappointment of the
mass of Otero county people the cases
against the saloon keepers of Swink are
yet in allegiance, and it is now very
uncertain when they will be tried.
AS The Enterprise reported last week
Judge McDaniels had set the hearing of
the cases against the Swink saloonmen
for Aug. IL, and had called Judge Pat
rick of Crowley county to preside over
the court in his absence this week.
But when the time came on Tuesday
Judge Patrick refused to try the saloon
cases, and this refusal throws them back
upon Judge Mechanics who is expected
to return home the last of this week.

character should be charged TO some
Capital account and the total value
OF these accounts together with any
additions thereof, made from time 10
time. is the investment on which Il
profit at least equal to the prevailing
rate of interest must be made If it
is paying investment.
When every thing is in readiness
for the first crop. then other feat
urcS present themselves. ! We will
assume that 100 acres of sod have
hccn broken and will be devoted TO
the following crops:
Oats 80 acres.
Barley 20 acres.
Wheat 10 acres.
Timothy 25 acres.
Alfalfa 10 acres
Potatoes acres.
Garden ! acre.
Ten acres OF the remaining 90 acres
Of the farm is meadow land devoted
10 wild hay and the remaining 50
acres is pasture.
While grain would probably be
sowed with the timothy and alfalfa
the first year. such features as that
will be eliminated for the sake OF
simplicity. As ground seeded in tim
series OF years without being rc-Sccd-
ed, the expense of seeding is cap
ital charge and not an expense. But
in the case of oats. barley, wheat,
potatoes and garden, the entire ben
etits from these crops will be secured
within the year. and therefore the
cost of putting in these crops, cult
waiting. etc, should be charged to ex-
pense.
A most important thing 10 know is
which crop pays the best In order
to determine this. it is necessary to
charge against each kind OF crop
the expenses incident thereto. For
this purpose it is best to carry an ac-
count for each, for instance oats ex-
pcnse, barley expense, wheat cx-
pcnsc, etc.
Ii will be remembered that break
ing sod was charged to improve
mcuts. so there will be no charge
against the first crop for plowing.
but in the following years, when the
ground is rcploycd, all expenses in
cidcnt to plowing should be charged
to an account called plowing. When
all the plowing is done, the total cost
should be pro-ratcd among the vari-
Gus crops on the basis of acreage, In
the example given above it is as fol-
lows:
Oats 80 acres
Barley 20 acres.
Wheat 10 acres.
Potatoes 4 acres.
Garden ! acre.
As the hay land is not replowed,
it is not included. Therefore 1905
OF the expense will be charged 10

only ood-looking melons showed
in the crate.
These unscrupulous practices
will work irreparable injury to the
cantaloupe business if not discon-
tinued, and one means toward this
end would be to compel each
grower to put his name on every
crate and then penalize the grow
or who attempts to defraud the
shipper and the distributor who
accepts unmarked crates or ships

CANTALOUPES
COMING in FAST
First Carlot Shipment Made
August Ninth
CONSIGNED TO
PlTTSBURG MARKET
Shipped to All Large Markets
in the East

Hawley and other sections not
touched by the hail the first car
lot shipment went east week
earlier than had been estimated,
leaving this station on Sunday
evening, Aug. 8.
Crutchfield & Voolfolk had the
honor of sending out the first car
load of genuine Rocky. Ford's,
which they shipped to their home
market at Pittsburg.
Other commission men speedily
got into The game" and within Il
few Days cars were rolling to all
the large cities, SO that within a
few days the epicures of the
rffete East may tickle their pal
ates with the cantaloupe that sur
passes any other grown in rich
ness of flavor and succulence.
And with the arrival of the
Rocky Ford's all other melons are
speedily supplanted, tor the can
taloupes from this section, with
their uniform size and reputation
for sweetness all the time and an
eating quality that cannot be
rivaled, rapidly establishes their
supremacy and just as soon as
they reach their distributing point
they will be found gracing the
table of all classes in practically
every city in the United States
and Canada. On account of war
restrictions it is not likely that our
famous product will cross the
ocean this season.
The cantaloupes produced in
this vicinity are shipped to every
conceivable market in the United
States-no market with sufficient
capacity to take carloads at salts
factory prices is overlooked by
the expert distributors who are
annually on the ground represent
ing the largest and strongest pro-
duce and fruit distributing COM
panies of the East. These men
are experts in their lines, handle
large deals of all varieties of
fruits and vegetables in every Sec
tion of the country during the
seasons. AS a result the Rocky
Ford crop is annually handled as
efficiently, and probably more SO,
than ally other perishable crop
produced in the United States.
But The Enterprise is sorry to
report that while most of the COM
mission men are doing everything
to uphold the good name of our
cantaloupes, some of the shippers
and unprincipled growers are
doing all they possibly can to ruin
the business by shipping unripe
and damaged fruit.
In one instance reported an in
spector for one of the companies
rejected all but IL crates from
load of 100 brought in by Jap
grower. The remaining S5 crates
were too green for shipment, as
the grower was shown by cutting
open several melons, but he boast
ed that he could sell them to an
other shipper and on being fol-
lowed to certain cantaloupe shed
was seen to make good his boast
by having the entire lot accepted
without question.
In another instance some crates
were picked over by buyer who
had a suspicion that the canta-
loupes were not what what they
should be, and he found that
while the outside melons looked
all right the inside ones were
