"HOw | Keep Young at 90"
BY James T. Powers.

RusseIl's company. I was 60 then.
and Lillian was n beautiful girl with
n wonderful complexion. She told me
the secret was n marvellous odd
cream given to her by a gypsy. |

n box for four dollars. The whole
sale price was $500. I rushed with
II to my dressing room. | started to
put some Of 1t on my face. but was
stopped by an idea. II Lillian looked
so young and beautiful as a result OF
putting this cream on the outside OF
her face and letting it soak in,
thought, how much better II would
be for me to eat 1t and let II soak
out. | tried 1t, and the cream tasted
very nice. Within a week no one
was able to recognize me. My wrin-
kles disappeared and my face was as
pink and clear MS q rabbits foot. |

know how | keep so active and agile

my food. | invariably prepare my
own breakfasts. Each morning | take
q dried herring and put it through a
coffee grinder until | reduce 1t TO a

board a piece of Swiss cheese. | cut
out the holes and dry them over a
line in the kitchen. When the holes
are dried | mix the powdered herring
with them and add a half a pint OF
%buttcrmilk. I beat this mixture to-
gether for half an hour, or until II
is exhausted. and then put II In n

that they well know that the name
Rocky Ford will, sell melons of
inferior quality no matter where
grown, and it would seem that
they have been successful for the
reason that the order has been
reversed by the following, which
WAS passed last week:
"Muskmelons of the Rocky
Ford type, grown in localities
other than Rocky Ford, Colo,
may be labeled Rocky Ford pro-
vided the name of the state or
territory where the melons are
produced is stated on the princi-
pal label"
The bureau held that this deci-
sion was reached for the reason
that the term Rocky Ford" as
applied to muskmelons canta-
loupes) has come to mean a par
ticular type of muskmelon grown
in various localities of the United
States.
Under this ruling the growers
in California can cover their en-
tire label with the word Rocky
Ford, leaving a sixteenth inch of
room at the bottom for the state
ment of the fact that the fruit
was grown in California or Ari-
zona which cannot be read except
with magnifying glass and the
effect will be rs under the old law
that people in the east who do not
know that the real Rocky Ford
fruit cannot possibly be on the
market before the Goth of August,
will be fooled into believing that
they are buying cantaloupes of the
real variety.
The matter will be taken up at
once with the bureau. but coming
at this time when the California
fruit is just coming on the market
the ruling cannot bs changed in
time to affect the using of the
Rocky Ford name this season by
any of the earlier districts and
the commission men have scored
one, but it is believed that the
matter can be SO forcably brot to
the heads of the bureau that their
decision will be reversed before
another season, for it is absolute
ly unfair to the Colorado growers.

KANSAS-CoLORADO COMPROMISE
Is Being Accepted by All the Com
panies Interested


State Engineer Weiland, the water
commissioners of the several districts
in Colorado and the newly-elect board
of directors of the Arkansas Valley
ditch association held an important
meeeing in this city on Wednesday, at
which the principal topic for discussion
was the pending compromise of the
Kansas-C Colorado water suit, which was
fully explained by Attorney Sabin, as
reported in The Enterprise couple Of
weeks ago.
The state water officials were pleas
ed to learn of the action taken by the
stockholders of the Catlin Consolidated
Canal Co., at the special meeting in
this city last Saturday, when the COM
promise agreement was accepted by a
unanimous vote.
This made the sixth of the larger ir-
rigation companies that have voted to
accept the contract offered by the Kan
sas parties to the suit, and like action
was taken by the Rocky Ford Ditch
Co. at its meeting yesterday afternoon.
Interest now centers about what ac-
tion will be taken by the Rocky Ford
High Line stockholders at their meet
ing in this city tomorrow, but it is
thot that they will follow the course
taken by the other large companies
and vote to accept the compromise
agreement.

RESENT RULING
Pernicious Activity of Commission Men Be
lieved to Have Abolished ,Exclusiveness E.
of Rocky Ford Cants

By decision of the Pure Food
Department of the United States,
as published in The Enterprise
last week, the cantaloupe industry
in Colorado has been dealt blow
that will be felt to great extent
in the whole of the Arkansas VAL
ley and one that should be bitter
ly resented by every grower.
For years the growers in this
state were handicapped by the
fact that growers all over the
country were allowed to use the
name Rocky Ford on their labels
no matter where the fruit was
grown and in this way deceiving
the people of the east into believ-
ing that the fruit as labeled was
grown in the best cantaloupe
country in the United States.
After a lot of effort on the part of
the growers in this valley ruling
was made by the government in
1910 a part of which ruling apply
ing to the Rocky Ford cantaloupe
reads as follows:
The Rocky Ford melon is not a new
variety of melon, but is one of the older
varieties of melons which in the environ
ment of Rocky Ford. Colo, has attained
particular excellence.
The same remark applies to the Indian
river oranges of Florida. They are not a
new variety, but various varieties which
in the environment of the Indian river
have attained unusual excellence.
Tho board holds that the terms Rocky
Ford and Indian River have not become
sufficiently generic to Indicate styles.

respectfully. but that these geographical
names are only properly applied to the
product Of the restricted area for the
melons which are grown in or near Rocky
Ford and for the product grown in or
near the Indian River. lnasmueh as the
term Rocky Ford has thus become as
soeiated with melon Of peculiar excel
lenoe Of certain geographical locality.
the board holds that it is unlawful to sell
in interstate commerce melons not grown
in the Rocky Ford district as Rocky
Ford Seed melons. The terms are
nearly alike, the intent is to deceive, and
the law provides that label should not
be false or deceptive in any particular" ="
Ever since that law was passed
the commission men who handle
about all of the product of the
country have been working hard
to get it repealed, for the reason

DITCH ASSOCIAllON
Holds Annual Meeting and Elects
Officers for Next Year

The annual meeting Of the Arkansas
Valley Ditch Association was held in this
city last Wednesday. Representatives
of nearly every ditch in the Valley were
present, and there was much discussion
of various matters pertaining to the well
fare of the irrigation interests OF the Ar
kansas Valley. The most distinguished
characteristic on the personnel OF the
meeting was the number Of state senators
present, each of whom was addressed by
his title upon various and sundry occasions
and did most Of the talking on the subieets
brought up for discussion. Included in
this distinguished bunch were Senator
Parrish, Senator Hasty, Senator Wieland,
and probably some lesser lights who have
hopes for wearing senatorial toga.
The election OF officers resulted in the
selection of tire following: President. C.k.
McHarg. OF Pueblo; vice president. W. s..
Partridge, of Holly; secretary, E. H. Ger
ecke. of Rocky Ford; treasurer. Frank
Kreybill, of Las Animas; directors. in
cluding the officers named above, J. @.

berger, of Rocky Ford; A. J. Luginbill, OF

T0oTHAKER AND M'GRAW
Las Animas Plays Here on
Sunday

sort Lyon ----2 2 500
Rocky Ford ----1 3 $50
Aside from the fact that Rocky
Ford whipped Fort Lyon, Fort
Lyon dubbed La Junta, and La
Junta walloped Las Animas, the
best news in baseball circles this
week is the announcement that
Bert Toothaker and Bobbie Nc
Graw have been signed up and
will aid the Cubs in landing the
pennant for the third successive
year.
Toothaker has been the principal
twirler for the Colorado Springs
Zoos for the past two seasons and
will be remembered by Arkansas
Valley fans rs the lad who pitched
for Pueblo and defeated La Junta
in ID inning contest at the Ar
kansas Valley fair last year. He
arrived on Tuesday and has been
working out with the team and ap-
pears to be in good form.
Then there's our old friend
Bobbie McGraw who did such
effective work for the Cubs last
year and who will join the team
about the first of June when his
college duties for the year are
completed. Bobbie has been
pitching great BALI for the Univer-
sity of Colorado this spring and in
addition has been getting his usual
homer in each game.
Harry Cassidy, formerly a men,
ber of the Denver Western league
team and who ofiiciated as umpire
in two games behind McGraw this
spring, was in the city on Monday
and told one of the directors of the
local teams that Bobbie had more
smoke than ever this season and
everything else that is in the book
of pitching.
Las Animas Here Sunday
Las Animas will meet the locals
here on Sunday and as the Bent
county team has strengthened up
considerable since their last ap-
pearance here good game can be
looked for. Among the new men
i'll the Las Animas lineup will be
Joe Page, a pitcher formerly of
the Oklahoma City team of the
Western association and Fleecy
Gordon. an infielder from the
Texas Oklahoma league.
Rocky Ford Wins
In the initial game of the sea-
son with Fort Lyon last Thurs.
day the Cubs played in good form
and won by the score of 6 to 4.
Andrews started on the mound
for the locals but was not at his
best and in the fifth inning was
replaced by Williams. Ballinger,
a new pitcher from Denver, was
in the box for the sailors and
pitched a good game. Campbell
did the receiving for the locals
and Gardner aud Ellis for the
visitors. The score:
FORT LYON
