Since they have been going together he has ac- quired her habit, drinking. He vVoasks hard, makes gOod money, spends all on her. He has bought him a beau tiful home I fear he Is to let her share it with him.. Can I stop it7

 Your great efforts may not be in vain. \ son may see his folly. even at the last moment, and turn to the right I cannot see how he can hold out against your pleadings. your pray CTS.

 Why cslrtail the pleasures of youth That's the time for youth to have it's ding-its nature.ss This is what many father says when he learns Of the escapades of his son. He adds with wink: I'd rather he'd SOW his wild oats now and be. done with it. He will be content to settle down later on, wise and satisfied with expert ences and folly has lost it's fascina- ton. 7
 A mother. takes q different view of the case, and from a wonaI1's stand point. She draws her experience from keen observation, from among those who have been failures and those who have made success. She will tell you that young sapling will grow as it is bent. After long years Of sway- ing in the same direction 1t becomes so firmly bent that all the kings horses couldn't force it to go strong. straight. and true. as nature intended it..
 The mother sees grave danger in letting a. young man have his fling. His experience leads him through shallow water out into a depth where 1 his feet can never touch bottom to wade back again to a firm founda- l tion. If such man Weds, it is sel- I dom or never in the flush of early \ Ys vigorous love has little meaning for him.
 It's actually Of as little consequence to him as the tossing up of a. cent whether he weds or not. He's apt to l.repent of proposing ere the words are sasd over night Instead of studying up a way to induce her to consent to a quick marriage, he sets his brain to concoct . scheme Of how to get out o1 | lLS . %
 Sowing of wild. oats causes some men to lose their regard for the gen. tier sex The man who has raced down the primrose path finds the com mighty dull One or two calls upor her usually sufnces him. He does noi appreciate her. He longs to break away. to seek what Nveliness may bt

 When he does marry, he usually ties himself to the wrong sort of 2 i girl. He knows iittIe or the charm ana sweetness Of home life. As Ions as he has a. Jolly wife to go rount , with him he is quite satisfied If hel company is no longer obtaluable fol him in these 5aunts on account of th' coming of children he goes it alon' l to the end Of fhe tether. If perchanci he weds an slnsophisticated girl, sht is sure to find out ere the first ami vereary of her marriage dawus tha welded life with bIase roue is ; keen disappointment ana ltfeloni } 1 regret.

Flirting Girls Lose
 Respect of Men

Dear Miss Libbey:
 Please advise me. Am young girl seventeen years Of age. considered good looking, have never had young men callers. Wherever [ go there seems to be some young man attract ed to ms although never dirt with any of them and will not speak to them without an introduction, but can see no other way of setting at uaint- ed.
 A11FsA. At your age young girls are usual ly shy. which is their greatest charm. Few parents allow their young daa1gh- ters to entertain young men callers at so early an age. At seventeen a girl is too old in her ideas for boys Of her own age to enjoy her society. and she is too young to interest, to any great extent, man of twenty five or more. Do not worry over the opposite sex our happy days are all before you. Girls who firt are al- walls talked about by young men Never encourage the advances od young men in that way if you would retain your sweet gtrliEh self-respect.

MUST STRAIdHTEN RIVER
In Order to Save Expensive Bridge
on Ordway Road

At the meeting of the county COM
missioners last week, the question of
Strengthening the Arkansas river at the
bridge on the Ordway road was
discussed thoroly.
There are several questions before
the board as to the best method of
turning the water from the channel
that the high water of last spring cut
thru new land, and bringing it to a
straight away channel at the point
where it comes to the highway.
So far the commissioners have not
come to an agreement as to the best
method of doing the work. Those best
acquainted with conditions are advoca-
ting the cutting of a straight channel
beginning at the east end of the piling
which is being put in by the A. b. S.
company, to protect their west ranch
land, to point near the bridge, which
it is believed will protect the $4,000
structure spanning the river.

From Rochester, Mimi, on Saturday
came the news that Mrs. Annie b.
Elser had successfully undergone an
operation in Mayo Bros. hospital for
the removal of malignant cancer.
Since then, her many Rocky Ford
friends will be pleased to know, sew
eral messages have been received that
she is rallying steadily from the effects
of the operation and it is confidently
expected will before long be about
again and enjoying better health than
for some time past.
Pap" Shelton now has the dignified
title of Grandfather" but whether he
will bear the new honor with the re-
quired dignity remains to be seen. On
Sunday last daughter was born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Merle Wachtel and "pap''
says that if we could only hold over the
the publication of The Enterprise for
one more day he would be able to give
the size, color and name of the new
arrival, and we'd sure stop the press
for this news were it any other time
than Christmas week.
