PURL0INERS OF CAR
ARRESTED In DENVER


Sheriff Blackburn has been in
communication the past week con
corning the identity of two Next
cans, who are thought 10 be Joe
Martinez and Victor Aquilai, who
are in the Denver city jail charged
with staging a holdup in Denver.
1t is thought by Sheriff Blackburn
that these two Mexicans are the
ones who stole the Frank Kurtz
car in Cody November Sth, and
abandoned machine some 20 miles
south of that city.
Il the investigation which Sher-
iff Black burn made in his efforts
to locate the stolen car, he had
practically traced the act to Mar
tinez, who had been employed sew
eral weeks as a section hand at
Cody on the railroad. Inquiry al
.Cowley disclosed the fact that
the Kurtz car had been driven thru
that place at an early hour the
morning following its disappear
ance here.
If these Mexicans are facing {
serious charge in the Colorado court
it is very unlikely that they will
be returned to Cody to face charge.

LOCAL ATTORNEYS ARGUE
LOOMS CASE AT CAPITAL

Attorneys Ernest j.. Goppert and
Paul r. Greever appeared in the
supreme court last week at Chey-
enne. representing Henry Dahlem in
the quo warranto proceedings filed
by former Sheriff w. II. Loomis.
1t Is likely that the court will
AXE several weeks rendering its
decision.
h case is one which was filed
shortly after Mr.. Loomis was re-
placed as sheriff by Mr.. Dahlem,
and has dragged in the courts for
almost three years.
Although Mr.. Dahlem's term of
office expired a year ago. the Is
sue is still in the courts. and
should a decision be rendered in
tavor OF Mr.. LOOMS 1t is likely that
he could collect salary from Park
county for the remaining period of
his term of office at the time he
was removed.

RECLAMATION WILL
LEASE GOVERNMENT
LANDS In COUNTY

L. H. Mitchell, superintendent OF
the Reclamation service at Powell
writes The Enterprise that his de-
partment will soon issue a call
for bids for the leasing of certain
withdrawn reclamation lands on
what is known as the Oregon Basin
project. Mr.. Mitchell states that
due to the large number of requests
for leases from the stockmen Of
Park and Big Horn counties, the
advertisement will be issued that
all may know the contemplated
leasing, and those interest should
communicate with him at Powell
for more detailed information re-
garding the location of the lands.
Recently some 26 900 acres of
withdrawn land, when comes un-
der the Oregon Basin propect was
leased to Morris New Scomer and the
Snyder Brothers of Big Horn coun-
ty. Some of the Park county
sheep men decryed the action of
the Reclamation service in leasing
this land without having given them
notice the proposed action.
An investigation OF the action OF
the Reclamation discloses that all
the lands which were leased. are
located in Big Horn county, and
represents range which these Big
Horn County sheep mem have been
using for many years. The En-
~terprise is very sorry hat 1t was
at first misinfcrmed, and wishes to
place the action taken by the Rec
lamation In a fair light to all
concerned.
The additional acreage which the
Reclamation service proposes to
lease. is located in Park county,
and the upper county sheep mep
will be interested In the proposed
action of the Reclamation depart
ment.

Wise Pa Parks Ma With
Babies on Rear Seat

It's wise father who arrives at his.
destination with the original number
of children that filled up the family
flivver when the trip started. Bill
Brown, Friend Wife and their four
youngsters, reinforced by enough
lunch to feed young army, left for
an outing last Sunday. Pa and ma
sat in the front seat and the little
Brownies occupied the rear. They
had gone about mile when Baby Bob
by was reported to be among the miss
ing. The boy had opened the door
and fallen out of the machine. Luck
lily, he wasn't injured, either by the
fall or other automobiles. having land
ed in pool where he was enjoying
himself when the family located him.
Brown thus learned one of the lessons
which should be remembered by fam
lily men who go on auto trips, i. e.,
that it is better to have Friend Wife
a back-seat driver than to be minus
a baby.

Sneeze Abb Frees Man
Whose Car Killed a Girl

Although he confessed he was driv-
ing at the rate of 40 miles an hour
when the crash took place, salesman
was exOnerated by coroner's jury
which accepted his defense that vic.
lent sneeze caused the accident in
which his woman companion was
killed. 1t was agreed that he lost con.
troll of the car when he suddenly
sneezed but the jury apparently over
looked the violation of the speeding
ordinance.
Preventable accidents of the above
type emphasize the fact that speed is
contributing cause of accidents. A
man who is driving through city
streets at the rate of 40 miles an hour
may think he has his machine under
perfect control, but it is always the
unexpected circumstances that cause
unusual accidents. A dozen things
hay cause you to lose control and re-
rsult in death or severe injury.

Undesirable Taste
and Odors to Milk
Department of Agriculture
Made Tests at Beltsville. :

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
To determine whether dried beet
pulp, green oats and peas, pumpkins,
carrots, sugar beets, rape, soy beans
and kale when fed to dairy cows inl-
part undesirable flavors and odors to
the milk, and to ascertain the best
methods of feeding such crops and
handling the milk, the United States
Department of Agriculture has con-
Quoted feeding tests at its experiment
farm at Beltsville, Md.
The cows selected for the investiga.
tons were giving milk relatively free
frora abnormal flavors and odors when
fed basic hay and grain ration, and
varied in stage of lactatiOn from those
fresh to those nearing end of lacta-
ton period.
Besides the succulent feed the ami
mails received, in proportion to milk
produced, varying quantities of the
following grain mixture: 100 pounds
each of hominy feed, bran and oats
anu w pOuHuS euCIl VI COllOHocSu hiCuA
and linseed meal. In addition they
we're given all the alfalfa hay they
would readily consume. The cows
were divided into groups of four each,
and interchanged at intervals of four
days.
Dried beet pulp soaked and fed wet
one hour before milking in quantities
up to 80 pounds produced but slight
ly abnormal flavor and odor in the
milk. The results followed the feed
ing Of like quantity of green oats
and peas one hour before and after
milking. Both kale and rape fed in
similar quantities on hour prior to
milking produced a decidedly abnor-
NAL flavor and odor in the milk, but
had negligible effect when fed after
ward. Soy beans fed one hour before
milking tended to Improve the flavor
and odOr of the milk So.

Cutting Canada Thistle
bv Phases of the Moon

Cutting Canada thistle by phases Of
the moon, signs of the zodiac, on GER
tain mysterious dates or according to
the appearance of sun spots, methods
all advocated by some farmers, will
not eradicate the pest, but belief in
these signs sometimes has the practi-
cal value of causing the thistle to be
cut before seeding, is the opinion of
A. A. Hansen of the Purdue extension
staff.
The most valuable sign by which to
cut the pestiferous thistle is found in
the Towering head. If the spiny nui-
sance is cut as soon as the heads be-
gin to show purple, the production of
seeds is usually prevented and the
plant will spread but slowly. The
principal means by which Canada
thistles spread is the wind-distributed
seeds which are frequently blown con-
siderable distances. A single seed may
thus start new patch several hun.
dred feet from the parent plant.

Origin of Word Chevon
Is Clearly Explained

An interesting interview was had
with B. NJ. Halbert of Sonora on the
word "chevon," and it's adoption as
a universal trade name for goat meat.
1t was through Mr. Halbert's efforts
that the national contest was held and
a prize of a registered, Angora buck
was given for the most appropriate
name submitted. This contest was
held by the official organ of the as
ISOLATION, the Sheep and Goat Raisers'
Magazine, of San Angelo. Twenty
five hundred names were submitted,
and out Of this number Mrs. e. w.
Hargraves, a ranchwoman, won with
the word chevon. She created the
word from the two French words
"chevri," (goat) and "moutton"
(mutton.) This was in 1922 and all
the associations adopted this word as
the official name, but it was not recog-
nized by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture until September,
1924.

Agricultural Items

Sheep are good weed killers.
=
Concrete makes the best kind of
dairy-stable floor.
The key to farming success is the
three L's-lime, legumes and live
stock.
Soy beans yield valuable oil which
is used in the manufacture of paints
and varnishes.
AS the soy bean plant is tender and
easily killed by frost, it should not
be planted until corn planting time.
Proper onion storage provides a
free circulation of air around the in
dividual bulbs. This is best provided
by storing in slat crates.
Seed potatoes should be saved at
digging time If one expects to keep
his own seed supply and select it from
potatoes Of his own growing.
Alfalfa has been making friendsrapid-
ly in dairy sections. The large volume
of hay produced. as well as the high
feeding value of the S:y when properly
cured, makes it one of the most i'm
portant feeds for the dairy COW.
When the soil is cold, fertility be-
comes available very slowly. Also
there is considerable teaching of nj
trates because of the continuous rains
at this season. That is why an ap-
plication of some heterogeneous fertilizer
Is so necessary to any growing vege-
liable.
