CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS
Occasion Ripple of Excitement or
Busy rlain Street

Quite commotion was created on
Main street last Saturday when fine
touring car driven by Mrs. Bear, bump
ed into Johnston & Govreau's oil
wagon. The occupants of the auto
were considerably shaken up and Billy
Martin, driver of the oil wagon, was
thrown from his seat and somewhat
bruised, but the worst sufferer from
the collision was that fine new car,
which had an axle badly bent and other
injuries which necessitated its removal
to repair shop.
An hour or so later team of horses
broke away from their Jap owner in
the yards of the Rocky Ford Trading
Co., and made wild dash out onto
Main street, where they brot up short
when they tried to coast on the cement
curbing. In this instance the services
of harness and wagon makers were re-
quired to repair damages.

MOOSE MAKE MERRY
At First Annual Picnic of Arkansas
Valley Lodges Held In This
City Yesterday

Setting a pace that it will be
found difficult to maintain in the
future the Moose of the Arkansas
Valley were we'll satisfied with the
first annual picnic of the order
which was held in this city yes
terday.
Coming, by trains and autos
from the lower valley towns were
Moose and their families to the
number of several hundred and
our local contingent counted up
more than double the number of
visitors, which made crowd that
made goodly showing in our big
grandstand during the games of
the afternoon.
AS was designed by the COM
mittee of arrangements, the chief
feature of the picnic was the big
basket dinner at noon, and follow
ing this came downtown parade
which attracted favorable atten-
tion. The parade was headed by
the Rocky Ford Kid band and in
the line were several floats giving
noticeable evidence of Moose art
in decoration.
A splendid program of athletic
events and games filed the after
noon with enjoyment, and in the
evening the climax to pleasant
day was reached at a grand ball
which was held in Moose hall.

BURIED IN SAND
Two Boys Caught In City Pit and One
Is Unconscious When Dug Out

While playing in the city gravel pit
on Monday Norman Harris and Glen
Clark, two young boys living in the
southern part of the city. were caught
by cavein and had a narrow escape
from suffocation.
The boys, it appears, were tunneling
in the sand at the side of the pit when
the bank gave way and buried the
Harris lad beneath six feet of sand.
The Clark boy was also buried, tho not
to such depth as his companion, and
after struggle managed to extricate
himself.
AS soon as he had regained his breath
the little lad-he is only about seven
years old-began digging for his COM
panion, and after some strenuous work
managed to uncover Young Harris
sufficiently to realize that the latter
was unconscious, when he hurriedly
summoned assistance.
When rescuers reached the scene
they found the Harris lad apparently
lifeless and it required some minutes
work of artificial respiration before he
was rescusitated. At last accounts he
had fully recovered from his involun-
tary burial, but there would have been
a different story to tell had the Clark
lad not been so stanch to his playmate
and capable in his rescue work.

"DOC" DIVORCED
Six Short Months of rlatrimony
Sufficient for o. II. Bonner

Sufficient for d. II. Bonner
Friends and acquaintances Of o. H
Bonner. the eye specialist, erstwhile oil
Rocky Ford but who now claims Sugar
City as his home. will be interested in the
following from the Pueblo Chieftain Of
Tuesday:
The first six months Of their welded
life was entirely upset by his brides
persistence in maintaining a correspon-
denee with former suitors daolared DR..
Oscar H. Bonner, eye specialist of Sugar
City. who appeared in the county court
here yesterday as plaintiff in divorce
action against Blanche Bonner. His
petition was granted.
DR.. Bonner is known to many news
paper readers thru his many challenges
to Jim Flynn. the heavyweight boxer
Of Pueblo Only recently Bonner and
Flynn were matched to meet in 90
round contest at Sugar City during the
Crowley county fair. The match was
cancelled when Flynn demanded too big
guarantee. Bonner claims to have
been an expert heavy weight boxer when
he was in college and since then he says
he has kept in physical training.
Some Of the letters were introduced
in evidence but did not smack of any
"Sugar coat" love letters are supposed
to possess. The doctor explained that
it wasn't so much the contents Of the
letters as it was the disagreeable custom
which his wife persisted in against his
wishes. This circumstance. he stated
led to alterations between himself and
wife and still more alterations which
became aggravated to such an extent
that it was impossible for them to live
togather.
The doctor and his wife were married
last February. Both are accepted in the
best Of society circles CT their home town
and are well known in many OF the valley
towns where the doctor has an extensive
practice Mrs. Bonner's parents live at
Manzapola where she is now said to be
residing. Mrs. Bonner did not make any
appearance in the case. did not even file
an answer or make application for ali
mony. The divorce summons was served
on her recently at Manzanola. The suit
was filed in the county court here on
July 10. The unusual circumstance of
the plaintiff filing the suit in county
other than the one in which he resides is
explained by his desire that as little
agitation as possible be made over his
domestic troubles. When the suit was
filed on July ! o. the plaintiff demanded
his legal right to have the suit suppressed
from publication"

Friends and relatives of young Ros-

early this week by the receipt of news
from Garfield. Utah, that he had been
placed in charge of the best lathe in
the mining machine shops there.
Some conception may be gained of
the magnitude of the shops and Ros-
GOES responsible position, when it is
stated that the shops are as large as
the local sugar factory and that his
lathe cost $24OO and all of the most ex-
pert work must be done on it.

SOME STORn
Lightning Strikes Hay Staek-Ditcf
Breaks and Cellars Flooded


A most severe electrical storm ac-
companied by terrific downpour of
rain struck this section of the Arkan-
sas Valley last Friday night but, singu-
lar to relate, very little damage has
been reported therefrom.
During the storm a hay stack on the
Swift place near the fair grounds was
struck by lightning and nothing but
charred cinders were left to tell where
it had been.
Thru the carelessness of Otero Gas
Co. workmen in covering the gas mains
bad break occurred in the Rocky
Ford ditch at the alley crossing be-
tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets,
inundating cellars and depositing silt
and debris upon lawns and yards for a
distance of three blocks north of the
break. 1t kept an electric pump busy
all next day cleaning up the mess.
In the vicinity of Newdale consider
able hail is reported to have fallen,
badly damaging several cantaloupe and
tomato fields.

IN short time il not quickly cloded and
held at temperature below 500 F.
Less bulk to haul to creamery.
Better keeping qualities Of the cream.
1t is not the fat but the other solids in the
cream which become sour aud spoil. As
thin cream contains more of those solids
1t sours sooner than thick cream.
More skim milk kept on the farm. The
farmer who delivered ! 90 pounds of fat
in per cent cream delivers 294 pounds
OF skim milk more than he would If he
delivered "a per cent cream. Unless
the buttermilk is returned free this is a
dead loss to him. At 25 cents hundred
pounds it amounts to nearly rs cents. or
three-fourths Of cent on each pound of
butter fat delivered.
Farmers sometimes offer the following
objections to high-testing cream:u)
Thick cream may stick to the can and be
loss to the farmer; ~ improper sam
pies may be taken because of insufficient
mixing; ~ high test is more likely to
be cut than low one. In a properly
operated factory, however. these objec-
tions do not hold and the creamery man
who would have his patrons deliver rich
cream will manage the plant so efficiently
that there will be no grounds upon which
to base such objections.

ADVANTAGES OF HIGH.TESTING CREAM
Valuable Advice to Dairy Farmers Furnished by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture

The avarage fat content of cream de-
llvered to many creameries is approx
imately 25 per cent. This means that,
in some instances, the test is above and
in others below this average. 1t is evil
dent that many creamery managers, as
well as many farmers. do not under
stand the loss involved in handling thin
cream.
Cream testing so to IS per cent is the
most satisfactory to the farmer and to
the creamery man. A comparison Of
low-testing with high testing cream re-
yeals. for the latttr, the following adyan-
tages:
= TO THE CREAMERY MAN:
Less bulk to handle, hence less labor
fewer churnings, smaller equipment and
building.
Less buttermilk, hence less loss of fat
in buttermlk.
Costs less to pasteurize, about one-half
as much steam is required per 100
pounds Of fat in "a per cent cream as
in IL per cent cream; two-thirds as
much in SIS per cent as in % per cent
cream. In cooling the cream less water
or brine is required for the handling Of
the same amount Of fat when the cream
is rich than when it is thin..
In pasteurizing sour cream, the for
nation of large curd particles, with the
attendant loss of butter fat, is avoided.
to great extant it the cream contains
more than so per cent fat.
TO THE FARMER
Less bulk to handle. hence fewer cans
and smaller cooling tank required. Fifty
pounds of 81 per cent cream and 100
pounds IL per cent cream both contain
the same number Of pounds of fat.
Less bulk to cool. hence less ice or
cold water required quicker cooling,
hence less deterioration. Cream spoils

PREPAREDNESS
OF STATE AND NATION
Is vitality Necessary. and Rocky Ford
Company of National Guards
VIII Be Formed

Following out his expressed de-
termination to thoroly organize
the Colorado national guard SO
that it may be an important factor
in the military strength of the ma
tion, Governor Carlson attended a
military rally in this city last Fri
day evening, in company with
Adjt. Gen. Chase, Major Williams,
Lieut.. Lingenfelter and other
members of the state military arm.
The governor and his party were
dinner guests of Mayor Roberts
and before they reached Checks
hall, where the rally was TO be
held, the rumblings of storm had
driven many home, but neverthe-
less the hall was we'll filled when
Mayor Roberts called the meeting
to order and introduced Gov.
Carlson, who spoke of his recent
trip to Washington and the views
of those in touch with national
affairs that had convinced him of
the vital necessity that our citizen
soldiery should be reorganized.
"There is manhood and patriot
ism sufficient in such towns as this
to sustain the government of state
and nation," said the governor,
"but it must be trained for this
defense, and the only available
means to this end is by way of
the national guard"
The governor declared that the
national guard should not be called
out for strike duty, but should be
established and maintained purely
for purposes of state and national
defense.
"What we need is a state con-
stabulary for strike duty, and we
hope to see Colorado fall in line
with Pennsylvania later, but our
need of the hour is for national
guard that may be trained in the
defense of home and country"
The Cheraw military band came
in as the governor closed his ad-
dress, and he heartily joined in
giving the mnsiciana greeting, as
did the next speaker, Adjt. Gen.
Chase, who stated that the Second
Regiment band was the only one
of its kind in the country main
tained in place the size of Che
raw.
Gen. Chase was just getting
warmed up to his subject when
the elements chimed in and he
could not be heard for the rattle
of the heavenly musketry, and the
invitation to assist in the forma-
tion of a Rocky Ford company
was heard by but few.
About dozen of our best young
men headed the company roster
and as the downpour continued
the meeting was adjourned.
The enlistment papers were
turned over to Col. Bartlett, chief
recruiting officer for the state, and
the enlistment of young men has
been so great since the meeting
that The Enterprise was yester-
day Informed that about half
dozen more were required to bring
the Rocky Ford company up to its
full complement.
