GENTLEMEN, LET US SHOW YOU HOW
And Then 10000 Wofnen's Clubs Made Their
Cities FitfTo Live In

Very few people realize that there is an
organization of over a million women
throughout the country who are members
of women's clubs, organized to shape
legislation and draft laws for the im-t
provement and bettermert Of the moral
and social side of life. They have accomp'
lished great things. The following, quot
ed from Pictorial Review gives some
small idea of what has been done.
"You know when the man kept house?
Remember the dust on the piano, the beds
unspread. the piles of unwasbed dishes2l
Dear me, nearly everything wrong and
awry! Then a woman enters, Before
her gloves are off. the window shades
are jerked in place. With her hat pin 10

sleeves rolled up, the hot water in running

didn't see anything the patter," has
settled down to soothed comfort with,

They have to be handled like that.
Just so they are being shown now about
their city keeping. This is the age when
we are hanging up the broom. The

to machine power in housework. With

INCREASED PREMIUMS
Colorado State Fair is Advanced by
Breeders Associations

BY reason of its improvement the past
couple of years, the high standard of its
livestock exhibits and the better grade of
its premiums. the Colorado State fair has
been advanced in the standing OF state
fairs throughout the country as recognize d
by the various breeders associations. The
fact is made plain in the increased value
of premiums offered by these various
associations, as shown in correspondence
received by J. L. Beaman. secretary.
These offers place the Colorado State
fair in the same class with the state fairs
of Missouri, Texas and Minnesota.
The offers of the breeders ASSOCIATION

AGAINST CIGARETTES
w. c. T. u. Asks Council to Pass a
More Drastic Ordinance for
Control of Traffic

At the last meeting of the city council
on Friday evening a delegation from the
Rocky Ford W. C. T. U. was present and
presented a draft of an ordinance for
bidding the sale of tobacco. cigarettes,
cigarette paper. ETC., to children under
the age of le years.
In the discussion of the question prior
to its being referred to the law and ordi-
nance committee The Enterprise UNDER
stands that Alderman Bish took occasion
to remark that the city council had all it
could do to attend to official business
without attempting to rear the children
of the community and usurp the duties OF
parents.
In the face of the very apparent evils OF
cigarette smoking. caused in great part
by the laxity of our city laws which al
low unserupulous dealers to sell cigar
cites to minors so that even our girls OF
tender age are finding 1t easy to procure
the coffin nails" and are becoming ad-
dicted to this mcst pernieious habit. it is
surely the duty of the sworn guardians
of our public health and morals to enact
ordinances imposing a stiff penalty for
the sale or gift to and the use of cigar
cites to minors.
The Enterprise looks upon cigarette
smoking as almost as baneful and de-
grading habit as the excessive use of
lntoxicants and this paper together with
every right-thinking citizen will give
hearty support to the good ladies in their
campaign against cigarettes.

The manager of the sugar factory at

that is talking business. 1t our farmers
can be shown, by congressional or
other business investigation that the
sugar companies are really disposed
to give them fair treatment, Just
plain fair treatment between man and
man, and that the companies really are IN
a hole, they will put their shoulders to
the wheel and grow beets enough to pull
the companies out of the hole, though Il

SPLIT EVEN AGAIN
The Las Animas Basketball Team
Show Great improvement, Says
Our Sporting Editor

The Las Animas teams showed great
improvement by defeating the local boys
so to o and by holding the score of the
home girls down to 2e to l 2 in the double
header game here last Saturday evening
The victory of the Las Animas boys
was due to the acquisition of team work
and a new center.
During the first half, black eyes, skin
ned knees and elbows were in vogue. AT
the beginning of the second half Ripper
gave them little talk on roughness
which made the remainder of the game
true to the sportmans's idea.
Evans and Rodgers, both of Las Amin
as, were the stars of the game while
Lawernce deserves credit for the way he
shot fouls.
The line up for Rocky Ford was
Lawrence, Msier, forwards; Black. Sho-
line, guards; and Robbins center.
The home girls won easily from the
visitors in slow game. This leaves La
Junta and Rocky Ford tied for the champ
ionship of the valley.
Those representing Rocky Ford were
Holder, Goblin tforwards), Allison, Sayers
(guardsl, Strong (centerl. and Daring
running centerl.
In the second half Lucille Goblin was
removed to allow Vida St. John. promis-
ing material for the coming year. to ga ir

On the local floor tomorrow evening
when our boys and girls will meet their
most formidable opponents from La Junta
exciting contests are expected that shouc
bring our sport lovers out in force.

it was an optimistic and enthuslas-
tic gathering.
A notable event of the evening
came when Arthur S. Beymer of
this city, owner of the Cheraw
town site, in a few well chosen
words presented to w. b. Painter,
proprietor 9f the hotel, a warranty
deed for the ground on which the
hotel stands. This action OIL the

prolonged applause from the ban
queters.

GREAT union
REVIVAL IS ON
Evangelists Hart and Magann
Draw Immense Thronas
ABOUT THREE THOUSAND
ATTEND ON SUNDAY EVENING
Night Meetings and Enthusiasm
Is Steadily Increasing

Is Steadily Increasing
AT IL o'clock on Sunday morn
ing the great union revival for
which the united churches of the
city have been preparing for some
time, was formally opened by
Evangelists Hart and Magann
with an audience that comfortably
filled the big tabernacle and was
estimated at fully $500.
This was considered splendid
attendance for the opening meet
ing, but the turnout in the even
ing was truly immense there being
present congregation that was
estimated at about 5000.
The expectations of everyone
were fully met by the evangelistic
team and in fact surpassed by the
choirster-A. S. Magann-who
was found to be possessed of
well-trained and fine baritone
voice that he is not chary of
using. He is rapidly bringing
the chorus of two hundred voices
up to concert pitch, and when
they all join in the choruses it
makes the big building ring with
melody, so that the music is to
many already one of the big treats
of the meetings.
Herbert G. Hart, the evangelist,
is aptly described as whirlwind
preacher. He is an earnest, force
full speaker who does not resort to
sensationalism br slang to arouse
the attention of his hearers, but
rather shocks his listeners with
apt and telling epigrams directed
against their apathy. He is an
eloquent and inspiring speaker
who has SO far directed his bat
teries against church members to
such good effect that their intense
enthusiasm will make them his
eager and willing helpers when
ever he is ready to lead them
against the ramparts of Satan.
In his opening sermon Evange-
list Hart told the people that they
must have four things if they
would make the revival a success:
They must have unbounded faith
in the meetings; unquestioning
confidence in the evangelists; Il
united membership and earnest
importuning prayer.
In his sermons this week the
evangelist is addressing himself
| to the Christian people of this
neighborEood-for there are many
from Holbrook, Grand valley and
Patterson valley who are attend
ing as well as residents of the
city. He is urging the importance
and necessity of consecI alton and
baptism of the Holy Spirit in
carrying on the work of the Mas
ter.
AS an illustration of Evangelist
Hart's sermonizing The Enter
prise quotes from one of his SER
mons:
"There never was a time when
there was greater need among
church members for the intilling
of the holy spirit than now, when
each move of the Christian man
or woman is watched by the fault
finding man of the world. The
reason more people do not unite
with the church is that they be-
lieve they can live as well outside
! the church as great many live
inside.
"What the Christian cause to-
day needs is workers who will
carry on the Lords work like they
carry on commercial and indi-
vidual affairs. If the business
men of this city ran their business
like the business of the church is
run it would not take them long
to run their business into the
ground. Religion and business 90
