ROAD TRAFFIC CENSUS
Over Ten Thousand Foreign Cars
Passed Through La Junta Dur
ing Month Of August

During the month OF August the
county commissioners had a census
taken OF the road traffic over var
ious roads in Otero county. Six
enumerators were stationed along
the main travelled roads in Otero
county. three at La Junta, one at
Rocky Ford. one at Manzanola, and
one at Fowler. The enumerators
were on duty from o'clock In the
morning until Z o'clock in the ev-
ening, with instructions to count the
number of passing motor cars, mo-
tor trucks, motorcycles and bicycles.
vehicles with one. two. three or four
horses. live stock. horses and cat

Three enumeratOrs we're on duty
in La Junta-one at the subway

From this report II will be seen
that practically 10000 foreign cars

three persons. this means that 30.-
oo0 people from outside the state
pa ssed through this community dur

dition during the summer. but there
Is still room for improvement and
even better roads. with this amount
of traffic In evidence. keeping the
roads In the best condition possible,

prove to be the best investment that
Otero county could make.

ber could be greatly increased II

local condensary. All Of them ar,
first class dairy cows, and are guar
kanteed 10 give five gallons Of milk

& Libby to ship In number OF high
grade dairy cows during the next
few months. and these win be dis
posed OF to the farmers at actual
cost. They will be selected by ex-
perts In the employ OF the company

PREP TEAMS UNDER WAY
COACHES MAKE PROGRESS
WITH BUDDING GRID STARS
John Marshall, McGuire's and nencdIc-
tine Players Rapidly Rounding Into
Form for Season.

Local preparatory school clevens
teams are beginning to look like some
thing more than a number Of men
tussling over a football. The training
season has started In earnest and the
coaches Of all elevens in the Richmond
Preparatory School League are highly
pleased with the form displayed by
their gridironists. The cool weather
also has been a great help to the mon.
and they enter into their work. dis
playing great deal more pep than
was the case when the season first
started.
John Marshall High School, Benedic-
tine Military College and McGuire's
University School have taken the initla-
tive, and II seems that this trio will
compose the preparatory league for
the 1917 season. Although McGuire's
is not connected with the organization,
it will, however, meet the other teams
on the sridiron.
Boiling. n student at the Union Theo-
logical Seminary, and formerly star
football player at Davidson. has been
selected to coach the Red and Black
eleven, while Quarterback Purcell will
act as captain. Purcell ia one OF the
best back field men in preparatory
circles, and he is sure TO prove capable
leader for the Byrd Park institution.
In addition to Boiling, the Mcclure
team will be coached by several OF the
"old boys" Buck SchloN. who played
for McGuire's several years back. has
been assisting Coach Boiling consider
ably. and the team Is beginning to
show the benefit of the efforts.

has captured one game this year. On
October the Marshallites held the
Randolph Macon second team Scoreless.

twenty-five points The high school

ing hard in order that they may be
able to have such an enviable record.
Marshall Munce is coaching the team.
while Riggs. a big, husky fellow. is
captaining the eleven. Riggs plays
halfback, and is noted for his line
smashing ability and broken field run
ming. The team has pretty stiff

been the case heretofore. The local
boys have games arranged with Staun-

downed. This was during the second
quarter. and 1t was not until two other
attempts had been made that Kuyk
again received a pass. This time 1t
was the slow hesitating heave that
enabled him to rush in and strike a
course for the side line before turning
down the field. The maneuver gave
him clear space for a second. and
