Rescripts Just Handed Down
By the Maine Law Court

| The following rescripts from the
Maine law court have just been re-
ceived by Charles w. Jones of Au-
county:
Androseossin County.
| Albert Dostie. petitioner for Ger
tiorari VS.. Board of Mayor and Alder
men Of the City of Lewiston. Hanson.
].
| This is petition for writ Of
certiorari to quash the records of the
Board Of Mayor and Aldermen Of the
City Of Lewiston, relating to the dis
charge of the petitioner from the
police force.
Held /.
That the petitioner had the right to
withdraw his resignation at any time
before its acceptance by the Mayor
and Aldermen. That it had not been
accepted by them is clearly shown by
the surrender of the resignation by
the Mayor and the subsequent pro-
ceedings to remove the petitioner.
These acts on the part of the Mayor
and Aldermen constituted a waiver Of
any right or advantage they may have
had while holding the resignation.
Held =.
Appointment, suspension and re-
moval of such officers were provided
for but no provision seems to have
been made for dealing with vacancy
caused by resignation, or of dealing
with resignation when offered. The
term of service having been fixed by
law and not being subject to the will
Of the Mayor and Aldermen, the petit
toner could be removed only as pro-
vided by law In this case the lawful
means of removal having failed. the
defendant claims a vacancy in the Of
flee due to the alleged resignation. We
cannot sustain such view Of the law.
1t does not apepar that the resigna-
ton was accepted before it was with
ORA wn.
Held 8.
The petitioner had the right to with
draw his resignation at any time be-
fore its acceptance. In the absence of
statute provision in cases of the kind
d, resignation is not complete until it
it accepted by competent authority
in this instance the appointing power
AS neither the petitioner nor the de-
PENDANT on their own motion can
create vacancy, it follows that the
term of service of the petitioner was
not legally terminated, either by the
alleged resignation or by the subse-
quent attempt to remove him.
Held 4.
1t is the opinion of the court that
the petitioner is not barred from

SANTA FE TRAIL DAY
Takes Large Crowd to Las Animas
Yesterday

Rocky Ford bore a somewhat deserted
appearance yesterday because of the
absence of SO many of our people who
were assisting in the celebration of
Santa Fe Trail Day at the Bent County
fair.
The trip to Las Animas was made by
auto and there were more than so
machines in line, from which it is es-
timated that the crowd of progressive
boosters from this city numbered about
$50.
The visitors report that fine line Of
exhibits had been got together for the
Bent County fair and splendid array
of horses took part in the races, and as
this is the first fair of the season in
this part of the state, as well as the
first number on the Santa Fe Racing
Circuit, it speaks well for the success
of those that follow.

CANTS ARE RIPE
First Crates of Rocky Ford's Fam
Gus Product Are Shipped on Hon-
day by Dap Grower

To a Jap named Y. Masuda
goes the distinction of having
made the first shipment Of genu-
inc Rocky Ford cantaloupes for
the season of 1915. The cants
were of the pink meat variety and
were consigned to Colorado
Springs by express on Monday.
This is the first and only ship
ment that has yet been made, but
before the week closes it is ex-
pected crate shipments to the
nearby markets will be under way,
tho it will be n week yet before
they become general.
A few ripe specimens of "the
fruit that makes Rocky Ford
famous" have been brot to town
by our farmers the
number being an especially fine
''Netted Rock" received by The
Enterprise on Monday from Boon
Bacon-but they are still very
scarce article and in fact have not
yet made their appearance in the
local markets.
In the immediate vicinity of
Rocky Ford the cantaloupes have
been further retarded by the rain 8
of the first of the week, but a
couple of miles south of town
where the storm did not reach the
crop is reported to be maturing
nicely and shipments will probab-
ly begin today.
Tho very late in maturing. the
field agents who have visited

ion that our melons this year will
excel many previous years in quail

THE BALANCED RATION FOR DAIRY COWS
Valuable Advice Dairy Farmers Furnished by the
Il U. S. Department of Agriculture

The principal nutrients in feeds are
divided into three general classes.
viz, protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
The first is used by the animal chiefly
to form the muscles or lean flesh OF
the body, the hair, the horns, the
hoofs, and the casein of the milk.
The carbohydrates and the fat are
the source of heat and energy in the
body as well as that of the body fat
and the fat in the milk.
Careful studies have shown that
these classes of nutrients are used by
the animal in quite definite proper
tions. a ration that supplies these
nutrients in the proportions that the
animal requires is called a balanced
ration. A balanced ration is usually
the most economic TO feed. as enough
of each class of food is supplied 10
meet the needs of the animal and
there is no waste caused by feeding
an unnecessary amount of one class
of nutrients.
The compounding of balanced ra-
ton is not difficult ii one has at hand
tables which show the digestiblc nu-
trients of the various feeds Many
farmers however, obtain good results
by more simple methods and have
found the following rules to be use
full:
Feed all the roughagc that the COW
will eat up clean.

RESERVOIRS OF THE ARKANSAS VALLEY
Can Store Enough Water for All Irri-
cation Purposes

w. o. Skinner, general agent OF
the Santa. Fe, has compiled, after
several weeks spent in the work, Il
complete list of the irrigation rcser-
voirs in the Arkansas Valley, their
storage capacity, and the amount OF
water in storage this season.
The remarkable deduction which is
drawn by Mr.. Skinner from the de-
tailed statistics gathered is that am
pie water can be stored in the Ar
kansas Valley during the storage sea-
son to irrigate every foot OF land
that can be placed under ditch in the
valley of Colorado.
By storing the water Colorado
water users can be indepndent OF
any results, however adverse. that
may come thru the litigation now un-
der way in the federal courts between
the water users of Kansas and Colo
RADIO.
Mr.. Skinner claims that all the Col
orado users need to protect their ir-
rigated land is plenty of reservoirs
with ample storage capacity.
MIR. Skinner has been employed in
an official capacity by the Santa Fc
railroad in the Arkansas valley for IS
years. He has watched the devel-
opmcnt of irrigation from nothing 10
its present gigantic proportions. When
he came to Colorado 2S years ago the
Rocky Ford ditch was the only irri-
CATION system of any magnitude in
the valley in Colorado. The Fort
Lyons canal was under construction.
Since that time Mr.. Skinner has
watched the irrigation projects and
has seen the valley cut with a net
work OF canals and dotted with rcser-
voirs. He is probably one of the
most competent men in the Arkan-
sas valley to investigate the subject
which he has looked into for the San
ia Fc railroad officials.
Governor Carlson has requested a
copy of the report for the state house
1T Denver and the information which
has been obtained is as accurate rs
can be collected.
Following is Mr.. SINNERS report
Mr.. ]. X. Koontz,
General Freight Agent.
