Song of the Ford.

(suNG TO THE TUNE OF
CASEY JONES"
Old Zeke Perkins sold his hog.
the other day,
And the gosh darn fool threw
his money right away.
Rode into town sitting on a boarG
And he came riding home in q
burned little Ford.
When he came to the house and
got to the gate.
He shut down the throttle and
threw on the brake;
He grabbed for the reins, got the
throttle instead.
And the gol darnded Ford kept
chugging right ahead.
CHORUS
Old Zeke Perkins bought an auto.
mobile.
Old Zeke' Perkins whiskers they
We're red.
Old Zeke Perkins lost the combi-
nation.
And the darned little Ford kept
chugging right ahead.
leke jerked the levers and turned
OFF the gas,
He kicked at the pedals and he
broke out the glass.
He cut all the wires and he pulled
off the top,
But the gol darnded Ford, it just
wouldn't stop.
He pulled out his knife and h,
smiled so serene.
He cut hole in the gas tank and
drained out the gasoline;
He pulled out his gun and shot the
tires full of lead.
But the gol darncd Ford kept chug-
ging right ahead.
Went right thru the fence and uI
thru the lane
Miranda saw him coming and she
like to went insane.
She ran out ahead, then she stopped
to see,
And the Ford hit her square where
her hustle ought to be.
She reacted out her arm as she went
in the air,
Just ns Zeke went by, she grabbed
him by the hair.
She bounced on the scat and landed
on the bed,
And the gol dnrned Ford kept chug-
ging right ahead
He steered for the shed but just
missed the hole.
Struck an ola sow pig and you
ought to see her roll.
Out thru the yard they landed in 4
heap.
In n big mud puddle about two feet
deep:
Icke grabbed Maranda and wade,
to the shore.
He was glad when it stopped an,
wouldn't 90 no more.
he picked up his ears, the lookct
back and said:
Why the gol darned Ford IL chug

Town Board Holds
Special Session.

The town board held a special
meeting Monday night to trans
act some of the unfinished busi-
ness. Mayor Davis and all men,
bers of the board were in their
places.
A good share of the evening
was taken up in a discussion of
the Wadsworth ditch as to who
was responsible for taking care
of the refuse that comes from it.
A committee from the ditch com
pany composed of president Dor
mer and Messrs. ID. l.. Powers
and A. j. Miller was present.
They We're inclined to think that
inasmuch as the ditch seems to
be the catchall for everybody's
tin cans, dead cats and dogs,
rubber boots, wagon hubs, scales
old rags, pieplant leaves and
baby cribs, that the town should
remove the debris after the ditch
had been cleand out and the re-
fuse thrown upon. the banks.
The town board was of another
opinion, however, and agreed
only to take care of the dirt that
could be used on the streets. At
torney Campbell said that the
ditch was private property and
that the town had no more right
to remove the rubbish from it
than it had to go upon an indi-
viduaPs lot and clean it mp. In
this connection it might also be
stated that the town board has
decided not to have u cleanup
day that is. at the expense Of
the city, and furthermore that
the ordinance with reference to
allowing rubbish to accumulate
on vacant lots and in alleys and
in the streets will be enforced
| This means that vessels or re-
ceptacles must be had for tin
cans and trash. ashes etc, and
anyone having trash 80 accumu-
lated will be required to dispose
of same by having it hauled away
or buried at their own expense.
The members of the ditch COM
were also instructed to have their
ditch walk ,r. Lon Griffith, to no
tify the people not to throw pie
plant leaves or any kind of trash
in the ditch and anyone found
violating this injunction will be
hailed into court and fined ac-
cording to the ordinance.
Mr.. Maloney who is making
some improvements to his hand
some residence in the southwest
corner of the city limits was
present and requested the coun-
ell to lay a water main to his
house, as he is paying taxes on
the water plant and getting no
benefit. He stated there are five
others outside the town limits.
who would extend the main and
take city water. The matter was
referred to the water committee
to make report at the next meet
ing.
| Mayor Davis then announced
his committees and they were
confirmed by the board. after
which the meeting adjourned.

VVuCdSIlO&C.
Mary Oberlin will lecture in
the Grange room at the school
house Saturday evening May 1st
at 8 O'Clock p. m. Her subject
will be Conservation in country
homes. She speaks under the
auspices of the Agricultural COL
lege and we hope she may have
a large attendance.
The water meeting at the
school house was not very well
attended. The farmers under
the Rocky Mountain ditch seem
to be divided on the matter of
raisingthe price. a number think
the company is entitled to a
higher price and that it would be
the means of getting better SER
vice in the future. while a great
er number think the company is
getting enough and they refuse
to pay the raise asked for and it.
Looks as tho there is trouble a.
head for the ditch company.
Our gardeners We're again held
up for stalls on the market Sat-
urdav. Like taxes theygeJ a little
higher every year. Well the city
of Denver needs the money and
what are we going to do about it.
Every gardner in Jefferson
county should do all in his power
to persuade his city cousin or
anyone else he may know in the
city to vote for the bond issue,
which would give us an up.to-
date market.
The outlook for a crop of all
kinds of fruit is good at the pres
ent time.
Rolph Bergeman gave a birth
day party to lot of his friends
Saturday evening. Ice cream
and cake was served.
A light attendance was had at
the lecture given last Tuesday
evening in Grange hall by Miss
Mary l.. Oberlin Of the Colorado
Agricultural college, owing to
the farmers being very busy and
to other attractions in town.
However, those who were pres
ent enjoyed Miss Oberlin's talk
on conservation in the home and
also the illustrated lecture show
ing how young men and women
are trained at the college in Ft.
Collins. Those who had an i'm
preston that the school provides
a book knowledge of engineering
stockraising, agriculture, etc.,
were convinced that they have
an entirely wrong idea of the in
stitution. Miss Oberlin was en-
tertained while here at the home
of the lecturer for dinner and at
Ernest Apels for the night. A.
l.. Davis very generously con-
veyed her to Loeb Lomond where
an all day session was had.
Knowing that a few of the
people who attended the Junior
play were displeased in seeing
dancing at a High school func-
ton, the Faculty Of A. II. s.,
and the Junior class wish to say
that they were in no way re-
sponsible Tor the dancing after
the show, but that they did all in
their power to peacably prevent
it.
The young ladies Of the Catho,
lie church will give the last dance
of the season in Bank hall next
Saturday night, May lst.

IS 4 County Office
Not Enough?


Next Monday, May 3rd, will be
the annual school election. Only
one Office, that of treasurer, is to
be filled by the votes of the
school patrons. On that date
the two year term of Chester
M. Lawrence expires. Mr.. Law
renee is now county clerk at
Golden. As if not enough, he
comes before the people asking
that he be given another term as
school treasurer. Az far as his
official record is concerned COM
paratively little fault is heard,
but many are pausing to ask if
the Office of county clerk is not
enough for Mr.. Lawrence at this
time. Especially do they pause
when it is remembered that the
office of secretary of the school
board is being filled by Mr.. New
comb, who also holds a county
office.
When Mr.. Lawrence's politi-
cal prominence is considered the
fact that he again asks for the
Office of school treasurer carries
with it a significance that has
heretofore been overlooked.
Many of our good citizens have
adhered to the very sensible poll
cy of eliminating politics from
our schools, and are nowviewing
with some solicitude the proprie-
ty of continuing two men of like
political faith, holding county
jobs, at the same time on the
school board. The fair minded
men and women of this comuni-
ty, regardless of political affilia-
tions see and know the danger
of such a policy and will, We be-
lieve. go to the polls next Mon
day afternoon with the express
purpose of putting their stamp
of disapproval upon this system
of perpetual and dual officehold-
ing. The Enterprise holds no
ill-will toward Mr.. Lawrence but
believes it has the best interests
Of this community at heart when
it suggests that for the sake of
harmony in our schools that he
relinquish the Office he again
seeks, to a man of less political
ambition.
Now comes a man from the
north end of the district.
w. T. Daigle, and at the urgent
request of his neighbors
asks for Mr.. Lawrence's place on
the board. Mr.. Daigle is a man
of integrity and honesty of pur-
pose and no doubt would if elect
ed be able to take care Of the Of
flee satisfactorily. He is not a
politician and we believe would
be fair on all questions. The
people now have a chance to
eliminate politics. as Mr.. Daigle
has no political axe to grind.
What are you going to do about
it?
After the school election is oy-
er Monday night a mass meeting
will be held to discuss important
matters concerning the schools
of the district. No doubt the old
questions of building a high
school and possibly the matter of
a sixth grade school for Oberon.
These questions will be discussed
but there is no probability that
either will be decided upon this
year. One reason is the change
in the state law which provides
for the consolidation of districts
and the transportation of pupils.

Fifty Tons of Steel Per Hour
While the public, and the auto
mobile world in particular is
watching with interest the Ford
Motor company's progress to-
ward an annual output of 300, 600
motor cars, little attention is paid
to the great amount of raw mat
erial arriving at the factory ev-
cry day.
Steel is, quite naturally, the
most important single item, and
it is estimated that 1875, 500 tons
of steel, heat-treated by the
Ford process, will be used this
year in the production of Ford
Cars. This does not include iron
castings.
The dock, where the steel is
received, presents almost as liv-
ely scene as any portion of the
plant. Approximately 70 men
make up the unloading gang and
they literally walk the material
out of the cars onto the trucks,
Thence it is carried to the big
cranes which carry it still fur
ther to the point where it is to
be used.
An idea of the amount of steel
each man handles may be gained
from the fact that these seventy
men unload on an average of SO
cars a day, eight to ten Of which
are loaded with steel. A car of
steel will run from GO, 600 to 100,
600 pounds. 1t is estimated by
the men in charge that the men
on the steel receiving dock alone
will remove 100, 900 pounds of
steel from the car every hour
and keep it up all day. Recent
ly the grand total of l,750,0 600
pounds Of steel and castings were
unloaded in nine hours.

Useful New Invention
Enables Anyone to Play Piano or Organ With
 out Lessons

A Detroit musician has invented a
 wonderful new system which enables any person or little child to learn to play the piano or organ in one even ing. Even though you know abso- lutely nothing about music or have never touched a piano or organ, you can now learn to play in an hour or two. People who do not know one note from another are able to play
 their favorite music, with this method without any assistance whatever from anyone.
 This new system is called the Numeral Method. We have secured
 the sole agency from the inventor, and, as we are desirous of at once making it known in every locality, we are making the following special free trial and half-price offer to everyone.
 You are not asked to send any until you have tried and are satisfied with the new method. We are willing to send it to you on free trial, and you will not have to pay one cent unless you desire to keep 1t. There are no express charges to be paid, as everything will be sent by mail. Simply write us letter or postcard saying: Please send me the Numeral Method on free trial" If you are satisfied after trying it. the Method and fifty different pieces of sheet music will cost you only S. although the regular price of these is $10 You should not delay writing, as we shall not continue Q this special half-price offer indefinitely. Later on, the Method and fifty pieces of music will be sold at the regular price. Address Numeral Method Music Co.,, sos Trussed Concrete Building, Detroit, Mich.-Adv't.

HOW T0 LIVE
 ONE EHUNDRED YEARS"
THIS IS THE NAME OF A NEW BOOK BY EUGENE CHRIS
 THAN, E. s. D.

Eugene Christian. F. s. D., the worlds greatest Food Scientist. has just published a new book called How to Live 100 Years"
 This book tells you what to eat according to your age, your work and the time of the year. It teaches you how to select, how to combine and so as to establish perfect digestion and assimilation Of food and perfect elimination of waste. In other words. 1t teaches you how to cure all stomach and intestinal disorders by removing their causes, which Is wrong eating. If you have indigestion, gas, fermen- tation, sour stomach or any such dis orders after a meal, this book tells you how to put the remedy on your table at the next meal.
 pr. Christian shows that all animals how to proportion your food at meals except man live about eight times as long as 1t takes them to get their growth. If man should do this he would live nearly 200 years; but civil lized man dies at the average age of 39. He begins to lose his teeth, his eyes and his hair, and drops into his grave only a few years after he is grown.
 Dr. Christian shows that 22 per cent of all the human beings born into the world die before they are one year old. Twenty-Five per cent moro die before their fifth birthday, and more than half of the human race die before they are twenty-five.
 All other animals on the globe live eight times as long as it takes them to get their growth. Man brsathes the same air, drinks the same water, lives under the same sunshine, but differs from his brother animals only in his eating, therefore Dr. Christian shows conclusively that this appalling discrepancy must be on account of his eating habits and he has proved that his theory is true by curing over 23,00O people within the past ten years by teaching them what to eat and how to eat How to Live 100 Years" gives the secret of his methods.
 This book does not disarrange or upset the family table. It teaches the housewife what foods the meal should be composed of, so as to make them chemically harmonious and perfectly digestible and healthy.
 This book is beautifully bound in Felum, and gold lettsred. Send one iolhr to Dr. Eugene Christian, 213 West 18th Street, New York City, and you will receive this life-saving book by return mail, and if it is not worth it's weight in gold your money will be promptly refunded to you.

A MUNICIPAL SALOON

During the temperance and prohibition discussions in Washington an interesting story was brought out with reference to a wet goods em- oorium conducted in the modest city of Lennon, S. D. The plan" has been in operation only a few months. but it pays profits of a thou sand dollars a month into
 he public treasury.
 Lennon has turned the proceeds of a municipal Sa- loon into the purchase of school and city warrants, since last July, whereby the city is kept on a cash basis with the saloon paying off salary and merchandise war rants as fast as they are is sued.
 Technically, the city is not in the saloon business, and the barroom is not muniCi- pally owned. The saloon is owned by a corporation known as the Lennon Civic association, which is really a non-dividend Plying stock
