The committee of the Arkansas Valley
Baseball League, appointed to revise
the constition and bylaws. consisting of
Fred North of Rocky Ford, Reg. Garvin
of La Junta, Will R. Murphy of Las

chairman ex-officio and can only vote in
cases of a tie. All ball players will be
eligible no matter what class league
he played in the year previous, but no
player can be employed who has played
in the higher than Class C after June
lst. of the season in which he employed.
The umpires will be appointed By the

board of directors.
Forty-eight games will be played each
season, commencing this year on April

Mrs. G. w. Swink. Rocky Ford, Colo.
My Dear Mrs. Swink:-I noticed by
The Enterprise this morning that today
is your birthday and that on this day
you are eighty years shall say old?
No. eighty years is such short time
that I prefer to say you are eighty
years young. 1t is said person is as
young as his arteries. therefore would
say that you are young indeed for one
who has reached the age of four score
years.
This little city is more deeply indebt-
ed to you and your late illustrious hus-
band than to any Other. persons either
living or dead. We all know and wish
to acknowledge to you that except for
the untiring persistence and energy of
the late senator, Rocky Ford could not
possibly have attained the proud posi-
ton she now holds. As result of his
efforts this little city has reputation
that is nearly, if not quite, world wide;
a reputation that many cities twenty
times its size might well be envious of.
No matter which way we turn we see

looking to Otero county for acreage for

it is freely predicted by several of the

MYSTERIOUS MALADY
Causes Heavy Loss in Mules to Lewis
Swink & Son

After three days during which no
deaths have occurred in Lewis Swink
& Sons herd of mules, it is now be-
lieved that the malady that last week
was causing devastation had been
finally overcome, which it is sincerely
hoped may be the case.
A consultation between State Veter-
marian Lamb, Government Inspector
Stout and the Rocky Ford veterinarians
diagnosed the disease as Forbes poison
ing, caused from eating moldy silage of
which one of the ingredients was
green Sudan grass, in itself poisonous
it is claimed, and prompt methods were
taken to counteract the disease, but
not until one horse and thirteen mules
had been so badly infected that they
could not be saved.
That the loss is very severe upon
Swink & Son may be understood from
the fact that one of the deceased ami
mals-a registered jack-was valued at
$500.

CIDER MUST co
Soft Drink Emporiums Notified tina
the Hard Variety Must Be Cut
from Bill of Fare

Booze fighters who it is report
ed have recently been developing
an inordinate thirst for cider will
hereafter be unable to satisfy
their craving in this city, accord
ing to the action of the city coun-
Gil at the meeting last Friday
evening.
Investigation, it appears, had
disclosed the fact that some of
our soft drink dispensaries were
selling a cider that could not be
termed "soft" in fact running as
high as per cent alcohol in one
reported instance-so the city
clerk WAS instructed to notify all
dealers in soft drinks that they
must forthwith discontinue the
sale of "hard" cider, and as it
takes an expert to tell when there
is an overabundance of alcohol in
cider, this order practically ellml-
mates the juice of the apple from
the bill of fare of soft drink en-
poriums.
The refunding wafer bond ordi
nance was adopted at this meet
ing and will be found in full else
where IN this issue.
Other ordinances that require
revision, notably the liquor ordi-
nance, came up for discussion and
were referred to the city attorney
for approval before they are regu-
larly introduced.
The enlargement of Valley
View cemetery WAS also discussed
to such good effect that a resolu-
tion was adopted that p. Il. Van
denburg be offered 5000 an acre
for FIVE acres additional ground on
the south size of the cemetery.
