From the Rocky Ford Times Republican.
When We think of the great army Of
employed in the manufacturing. min
ing and railroad industries. we wonder
are they laying up something for .
rainy day. Do they know the factory
thew are working in may close down
any day7 Do they know the mine they
are working in Is liable to cloae down
today or tomorrow? Do they think OF
the fact that they may be discharged at
any moment, and thereby be thrown
on the cold world with aifamily to sup
port, without home and without
money.
Booth-Tucker has well said. every
man should begin to secure = home.
How much those few words mean! Il
has only been few years since Ohio
wss western state. then Indiana and
Illinois and SO on until now the govern
ment land adapted to agriculture il
about all taken up, and the irrigable
lands are being taken more rapidly thar
the former was. and it all means the
longer we wait the more difficult it be-
comes to procure home. Every man
should at once begin to procure ono Il
1t is only Eve or ten acres, upon which
he can make living and be prepared
for rainy day, and old age. A house
aud lot is not sufficient.
