THE SELF-SUFFICIENT FOOL
By Harry Enard

There's the always boastng bout what he do
Plenty of them;
With brains and ideas exceedingly few
You've him;
He is here in midst almost everywhere,
His thoughts you will find in high attitudes rare,
Soaring up in the clouds that float in the air
That's straight goods.
He thinks that this world around him is revolving
He really believes it;
That all the deep problems he daily is solving
Now wouldn't thar jar youi
He tells to all from morning to night
How are all wrong and he all right
While we re wishing in vain he of sight
But you can't shake h;usr s ysssnss.
He explains that his plans would help a nation
Just think oft;
If he was the head of large corporation
Whas nerve;
The questions of trusts could be settled his way
Every business around would dividends pay
Capital and labor would get their right sway
But his blow almost killed father
His inventions we hope would construct very soon
And it can, come quick;
A flying machine, spacious balloon
Filled with his hot air;
That will take him above the stars and the sum-
Where he can tell angels how things be run,
Twoud be the best thing that he done
And that's no lie either.

FALL STRAWBERRIES
Successfully drown BY Canon
City Gardeners. Big Prices
Realized From Them in
the Local Market

1t ID net every community that pos
sesses the requisite soil and climatic
conditions to produce two crops of
strawberries every year, but there are
exceptions to the rule and this is one
of them, rendering it possible for
Canon City people TO regale their ap-
petites with them, the product OF
home gardens, for q longer period than
is known almost anywhere else beyond
the borders OF the Arkansas valley.
OF course, it must not be assumed
that strawberries grow spontaneously
here for five or six months every sea-
son, but by proper treatment and cul-
tivation they can be produced for
about that length of time, taking one
year with another. Fr.,sts in Septem-
Der would have the effect of arre,ting
their growth and thus end the season,
but As we have practically no cold
weather till after the first of December
strawberries will ordinarily ripen in
the open air until within a few weeks
Of Christmas on vines that are not ex-
haustsd in consequence of a too pro-
life bearing earlier in the year.
Second-crop strawberries were al
most unknown here until ten or twelve
years ago when their possibilities in
this line were discovered by 4 few
shrewd growers. but since that time
they have become so common ~ to ex-
c tie no special comment. except among
strangers who see them exposed for
sale in the grocery windows, many
people supposing them to come fr.,m
California or Texas The first home
grown straw bere to amount TO any
thing ever soldo this city as late as
the middle of September was about
1880, when l9 pint boxes of them
brought the Finer fifty dollars, or at
thu rate Of four.dollars gallon.
There were good many strswber-
'rfes grown in the vicinity Of Canon
City last fall but not as many as there
will be this year if present indications
are realized. For instance it may be
stated that G. R. Tanner & Co. have
been selling them since the 18th OF
August and are likely to continue do
ing so we'll on tow ards the end of No
vember: their chief sources of supply
coming from the patches of W. P.
Ahart, A. ]. Aspy and Frank Arnold
of Lincoln Park
One day last week the above named
firm purchased five crates OF them and
on Saturday nearly as many mote.
They yield the grower from $3.50 to
to si.o0 box and are profitable crop
to raise at this season of the year. In
order to get strawberries to produce a
a second crop the vines are moved oti
close to the ground towards the close
of July and the soil thoroughly irri-
gated, which causes them to grow and
blossom much as they do in the early
spring, the genial sunshine of August
and September doing the rest
Although neither 81 large nor SO
sweet as those of June and July they
are still delicious terry and invite
the appetite of the pleoeian as well as
the epicure.
