the telephone to begin to buzz,
and before he realized it he had
accepted orders for coal until he
had none left except for his own
winters use. He could have cas-
lily sold another car load If he had
had it. OF course the item was
merely a matter of news. but it
shows the effectiveness of advcr-
Using when you have something
that appeals to the people. Some
merchants say it does not pay to
advertise, and blame the news
papers for expecting them to ad-
vcrtise as though the newspaper
was asking sweet charity. II they
would only listen to the voice Of
the press and cooperate with it,
they would be in a much better
business condition than they are.
The Enterprise wishes to con-
graduate Mcssrs. Scott and Nor
upon the fact that they are now
keeping the street in front Of
their blacksmith shops free from
dilapidated old vehicles, etc. OF
course it is all right to leave a
wagon or other implement in the
street temporarily for repairs, but
the street is a public thoroughfare
and must not be used as a per
manspt dumping ground.
The Town Board of Arvada was
up against similar proposition
in reference to getting the work
done on the streets. Men with
teams can make ~ per day on
private work, and in order to get
q reasonable amount of work done
the men and teams will now be
paid $5 per day. If anyone can
ramc any concern or business or
individual that is not affected by
the general rise in prices Of ev-
erything, we should like to have
them do so.
The little spell Of weather which
burst upon rs Sunday evening did
some harm and some good. Some
alfalfa was down and of course
was not helped by being wet. The
moisture was not enough, how
ever. to help the fall blowing ma
tcrially. The most good was
probably done to humanity and
stock, as it relieved the drouth
somewhat and laid the germ-ladcn
dust that had penetrated every
nook and crevice.
