SCHOOL BONDS CARRY

The election last Saturday to
determine whether the district
should issue bonds to complete the
school building carried by . good,
substantial vote Of better than two
to one.
In spite of all that has been
said, many had forgotten about the
election, and the vote was light
very light-compared to what it
should have been.
The Enterprise would like to
impress upon every citizen the
duty owed to the district not to
neglect to vote at all elections. 1t
is your duty to go to the polls and
vote and instruct your public serv.
ants as it is for the public servants
to look after the affairs in their
charge.
Our people are not Of the kind
to criticize to any great extent, 20
their neglect is not SO fragrant, but
it often happens that the man who
will not take the time to vote and
register his opinion is just the one
who makes the most noise about
the way things are run. II you don't
do your duty, you have no license
to criticize others for failure to do
their part and yours, also.

Ball Boys Lose.

The game last Sunday on the
Raymer grounds was lost to Keota
by a score Of II to 8.
The local pitching staff was all
out Of form and pumfrey, Of Fort
Morgan, was brought up for the
occasion.
Next Sunday on the local
diamond, the boys meet Weldon,
and the Sunday following, Here
ford will be here.
There is talk Of trying to get up
a second team for some evening
games during the week, to give the
LEGAL team practice and also to al
low those a chance to see some
hall, who do not wish to encourage
the Sunday game.
The boys would prefer to ar
range weekday games, but have
found it impossible to arrange
such games with other teams.
Many Of the local team are employ
ed where they cannot get away on
Saturday, and surrounding towns
are fixed the same way. Besides,
there are some splendid players
who have conscientious objections
to Saturday games. M
We confess, that it 10 apuzzling
thing to present plan that will
meet all objections for a day for
this most popular and pleasing
American game.
We admit that the old New Eng
land Sabbath seems almost impos-
sible In this age Of steam and cleo
tricity, but those old New England
patriots have left US some mighty
splendid examples, and we cannot
afford to lightly throw away their
traditions and forget their ex-
amples.

CLEAN SPORTS

We like to see any clean sport
vulgarity and profanity are dis
gusting in any place, but especial.
lyso where ladies and gentlemen
meet to witness exhibitions OF
skill and strength in athletic con-
tests.
We say it is especially disgust
ing before ladies. We may nike it
stronger, and say it is disgusting
before either ladies or gentlemen.
II we recognize that an audience
OF gentlemen should be entitled to
clean language and courteous con-
duct when seeing such games,
there would be no place to develop
the habit Of using the objection
able tactice to break out under
some sudden provocation before a
mixed audience.
A part Of the advantages of
athletic contests is to be found in
the self-control that enables man
to get hard bump in a foot ball
game and not fly into a passion.
These is a certain degree of risk
that some accident will happen
that will cause some pain. The
man who gets the hurt shows the
better spirit by smiling, rubbing
the brufse and going on with the
game.
The man who flies into passion
and wants to fight, is showing
poor judgment; but the one who
uses foul language and vile epi-
thets is worse. There may be some
excuse for the former; there can be
no sufficient. excuse for the latter.
We hope Raymer athletes will
take this in the spirit it is written,
for the writer does not claim he al
ways keeps from the offense he is
preaching against. "It is easier to
preach than to practice" but the
practice is good.

OFF to France.

Mrs Florence Scolton, Of the
Kile Inn Cafe, has been notified
that the tender of her services as
nurse with our fighting force in
France, has been accepted. Mrs.
Scolton expects to leave for tho
Atlantic seabord August |. From
there she will take passage on a
United States battleship for Eur
ope, where her many years expert
ence as a professional nurse will
help mitigate. the sufferings Of our
American youth wounded in a
foreign land and receive the dying
message Of son, a brother, a
husband, a father, a sweetheart,
who gave his all to his country
and his flag, never questioning the
justice Of the cause that called for
his supreme sacrifice on an alien
soil, content in the knowledge that
be had done his duty as a soldier
and q nan.
Mrs. Scolton has two brothers
in the navy, one serving on the U.
8. Battleship Rhode Island.
Who will continue the Kile Inn
Cafe after Mrs. Sections departure

Canning Demonstration

A highly interesting and profit
able demonstration in canning
different vegetables was given at
the school house last Friday by
specialists sent out by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture and the Fort
Collins Agricultural College. The
class consisted OF the Misses
Douglas and Simpson, Of Fort Col
lins, under the direction of M. P.
Knapp, state agriculturslist. The
meeting was well attended and a
great success. The Girls Cooking
Club was present. Much favorable
comment is heard of the practical
help obtained. 1t is hoped that
such work may continue.

Good Roads Next.

Now that the court house 10
finished and paid for, Weld county
must commence as extensive q
campaign of road building as the
county's finances will permit.
Among others, splendid all-ysar
road should be byilt to serve the
northeastern part Of the county, 90
that easy access to the county seat
may be possible at all times
Weld County News.
We believe that the above opin-
ion is shared more and more by
people of the western part Of the
county. 1t may be that the idea
is born OF hope that il this is
done it will kill the county division
sentiment, but it makes no differ
ence to us. Ii reasons for division
can be dissipated by building roads
over here, let it die. In our opin.
ion roads will only develop this
section faster. and with develop
ment demand for division will m
crease, and knowledge of our re-
sources will show our Greeley
friends the justice Of our demands.
There is just one reason for
county division, and that is, it is
just.
