.BRs', ...,T OUTLOOK
s'''' FOR MELONS
Cantaloupes Are Maturing in
Good Shape
FEDERAL INSPECTION
BRINGS SATISFACTION
Found that it Comes High to
Send Out Poor Stuff


Because of the daily showers
and the attendant GOODNESS which
visited this section of the Arkan-
sas Valley vinyard the fore part
of last and first of this week, the
maturing OF the "fruit that makes
Rocky Ford famous" has been
somewhat retarded and for this
reason freight shipments in car
lots are just nicely started.
For several days cantaloupe
growers were kept upon the an
xlous seat, fearing that the per-
sistent moisture would play havoc
with the crop, but The Enterprise
is pleased to report that the ma
jority of cantaloupe fields here
abouts are showing a surprisingly
small amount of vine rust, and
fieldmen are bringing in optimis-
tic reports, claiming that the
patches never looked better and
that the melons are more uniform
in size and quality than for many
years, 80 that the outlook is very
bright for splendid season.
Under Federal Inspection
III. NJ. Banner, agricultural
demonstration for the Santa Fe-
to whom praise should be extend
ed for the development of the
movement for federal inspection
of cantaloupes to its satisfactory
conclusion, as reported in The
Enterprise last week.-left for
Amarillo, Tex, on Saturday, after
receipt of telegram from the
Department of Agriculture that
the request for an inspector had
been granted and a man would be
selected and upon his way to
Rocky Ford within few days.
According to the agreement
with the growers the department
furnishes this head inspector and
he has the appointment of two as
sistants, who are paid by the
growers and distributors, and all
signers of the agreement-which
takes in all but couple of small
growers--are pledged to abide by
the rulings of these inspectors.
That the agreement is already
being lived up to, and the express
company is discouraging the ship
ment of poor stuff, was shown on
Tuesday, when Jap grower had
his load turned down by a cash
buyer, the distributors refused it
and finally the Wells Fargo man
made him prepay the shipment.
which cost him $3.50.
Distributors on the Job
With the arrival early in the
week of Messrs l. d. Hale and
Lee Seibert, Western representa-
tives of G. I'll. Weaver & Co. and
Crutchfeld e. Voolfolk, all the
old commission men-with the ex-
ception of the M. o. Coggins Co.
were again in the field and get
ting their forces lined up prepara-
tory to a campaign that will keep
them busy for a couple of mouths

SHOWS GOOD SURPLUS
Present State Administration Has
Been Most Successful in Years

State Auditor Mulnix has announced
that the present state administration
would close with surplus of $780,
in the general fund. This despite the
fact that it has paid over Sl25,O0O of
old debts belonging to the past three
Democratic administrations.
The last Republican administration
eight years ago closed with surplus
of S4O6, 900. Counting the amount now
on hand and the amount of old debts
paid by the Carlson administration,
this one has been the most successful
administration in a financial way Col
orado has had in many years.

Will Provide Plenty of Amuse-
ment for Fair Patrons
One of the greatest problems
that the Arkansas Valley fair as
sociation directors are up against
is providing room for the exhibits
that are being entered in nearly
all the classes. In every class
the entries to date and the inquir-
les that are being received daily
are far in advance of the fair and
it is very evident that more room
for exhibits will be necessary.
This ls true particularly in the
live stock department, the demand
for stalls of all kinds Indicating
even now that the exhibit will be
one of the largest ever made in
this state, and that it will be of a
much higher order is evidenced
by the fact that in all branches
there has been a great improve
ment in the grade of the animals
now kept by the average farmer,
and the A. b. s. Co., the Cudahy
ranch and number of smaller
owners will exhibit registered
stock of quality never before
seen in this part of the state.
A large addition is being plan
ned for the poultry department
which will be big feature this
year, according to Superintendent
Wood, who states that he has as
surance of great additions to this
department. The fact that this
year it will be conducted on the
lines of a big poultry. show is
making a great hit with the poul-
try men all over this part of the
state and there will be representa-
tives from Denver to the Kansas
line.
Good News Tor BAH rams
Notwithstanding the fact that
the Arkansas Valley league has
disbanded the outlook for the
baseball tournament is even bet
ter than last year and while the
last word in arrangements has not
been said there will be no ques-
ton of the success of the tourna-
ment. Inquiries from number
of clubs in the state are being re-
ceived and the plans will be def
nitely settled within few days.
Plenty of Amusement
Director Horace Dye, in charge
of the Wild West events, is opti-
mistic in his views regarding the
attractions in this and other lines
that will be offered the patrons OF
the fair. All the good riders in
this vicinity and several from
other parts of the state will have
an opportunity to exhibit their
skill in a number of interesting
stunts that will be somewhat new
in the line of amusement. The
Cornell Amusement Co. have
leased the entire space east OF the
entrance and their feature shows,
which include "The Girl Of Mys-
terry, "The 40 Camp, great
"Pit Show" and big athletic
show, will keep things lively day
and night. The big tops OIL
Show Row will contain enough
amusement to last life time and
there is every indication that there
will be greater variety than evel
before.
Some Fair Notes
While the number of race en-
tries is not quite as large as las
year the horses entered in the
several events are of class tina
will assure the best speed events
with the outlook in favor of some
of the most exciting events in the
history of the track.

which the Pennsylvania Railroad could

clearly the vast number of men in its
employ and the extent of its great To-
comotiSe and car building facilities.
On these points Mr. Dixon said:
II the word should be flashed over
this country that war had been 0eclar-
cd and that the United States was IL
bout to enter in conflict with another
great world Power our condition OF
prcpa rcdGcss--what had been done and

pie. Next. then, to an ade-
quate army and navy. il not. indeed.

of the railroads of the United States as
q factor in national preparedness. Only
railroads of the highest efficiency can
truly unity the country and keep its
resources of men. money and materials
in liquid and mobile state As mil.
itary precaution, if for no other reason
it would be in the highest degree ~ise
and profitable for the American people
to see to it that their railroads have
financial resources to be
able to serve this end properly. and
that the Federal and State Govern
ments accord them treatment which
will insure their healthy growth at all
times
President Markham of the Illinois
has recently discussed the
same subject in one of the leading
of the country and en-
phasized the importance of studyin;;
the whole matter from the railroad
point Of view. in order that the ne.
ressity of properly developing and CO.

be generally understood by the people.

With the Heart of a Youth!

One OF the most strikingly heroic
Incidents which the news has brought
to light recently occurred in Harris
burg, Pennsylvania.
When it was found that a young
ster Of eight could not be saved from
the severe injuries inflicted by a burn
unless someone would offer to graft
their skin on the little fellow, the
man who came forward to make the
sacrifice was on old man of eighty
years. The boys life was worth more
than his, he said, and he was glad to
make the sacrifice!
The heroic old man was not operat-
ed on, because the doctors said his
skin was too old to be of use to child
of eight and so his death--for there
would have been no chance about it
was averted.
or course. the doctors knew what
they were talking about, but it does
not seem as though a brave young
heart like that could have a skin so
years old, does it?
Out in Gary, indiana, they are erect
ing a monument to the little crippled
newsboy who gave his life through a
skin grating operation so that another
might live, but no monument will be
inscribed to this white-haired hero,
whose willingness to sacrifice his re-
naming years in making a great gift
to one whose life was but beginning,
did not end in death
But we mast honor his living as
we would honor him had his life been
taken as he offered it.
No less is old David Dunlap, for
that's the name of the Harrisburg
cavalier, hero because the life he
offered was nearing it's end, but more
so, for the instinct OF old age is to
cling to each day in seeking some
sheltered nook in life, enjoy its ret
respect and its peace. Youth is the
time when the heart beats string and
heroic deeds are wrought Old age
fills another part. Yet this old hero
eighty years young, ready to suffer
pain and illness to forego the sweet
closing days of life for the joy of do
ing great and generous deed.
Peace and happiness to him while
he lives and hallowed memories to
him when he leaves!
