Seldom week passes and hardly
day when citizens who are engaged in
business are not called upon to contrib
ute something for charity's sake. 1t is
always the merchants and other business
men VINO are asked to shoulder this var
led and gratuitous giving. Some people
seem TO think that they who are in bust
ness can pick up dollars anywhere and
ought to contribute willingly and liber-
ally every time they are asked. As a
rule dollars are no more plentiful with
business people than with others. Try
the land owners and retired lists awhile
and give the business men a rest.
4. NJ. Jones of Denver is visiting his
daughter. Mrs. Roy Brown Mr. Jones
recently returned from Routt county
where he called upon John Drummer,
Henry Head and Tivis Jones, whom he
found well and prospering, but showing
signs of secretly signing for Elbert coun-
ty and. their former associates. We
are sorry to note the fact that DIR. Max
well has decided to leave Elizabeth and
locate in Canon City, and to this end has
sold his residence and practice to DR..
Evans. DIR. Maxwell ranks high in his
profession, and as a citizen no better can
be found. We wish him and his estima-
ble wife happiness and prosperity in
their new home Elizabeth Banner.
Young men in this western country
have better opportunities to invest a few
hundred dollars at home than they
would have in city, says Field and
Farm. A few acres of ground, a few head
of sheep or poultry yard are individual
investments that pay good profits when
properly managed. 1t is the manage
ment that makes the investment good.
The money invested alone can be figured
worth six per cent at most. \ hundred
dollars as money is worth $500 year.
The same amount viii pay $50 "a year in
sheep, 500 year in poultry, or $50
year in cattle that is, with management
thrown in. A little money in town looks
smaller all the time, is seldom saved up
for that reason, whereas a little money
in the country will go long way, for
the reason that the demand for country
products is increasing and enlarging all
the time.
