Arthur e. and NJ. w. Hubbell OF
Lincoln Park in 1903 sold 1000 crates OF
apples from four-acre orchard, for
which they received in cash 1880.
From eight acres they sold fruit to the
value OF s2o40. all of the labor being
performed by two men. From n four

they made 5000 above all expenses.
Last year d. R. Sullivan sold $50

Geo. r. Breckenridge from a two

That mother was Mortified to think
that her boy had been gambling. but

whether you play for cut glass dish
or whether you play for money and

A graphic description was given of
the saloon with its card room and
of the palatial home where the social
game was being conducted. Which
place is to be feared the most, the
one with the social card game, or the
other with it's gambling tables? The
evangelist said that the gambling in
the homes was what he was after, and
that the fur would fly in Canon City
before he was through. The boy ma
triculates at the social card party; he
graduates at the saloon rs a gambler

In addition to cards there are only

room is not as serious menace to So

man or woman ever gets too low
down to play cards or dance. II Jesus
Christ were to come to Canon City do
you think he would attend card
party. or go to dance? OF course
not. he would shun such places as
soul winning and card playing or
dancing do not harmonize.
A man or woman may get so low

that they wont dance or play cards.

RICH IN RESOURCES.
The Arkansas Valley the Garden
Spot of the Commonwealth.

A great many eastern people have an
idea that mining is the principal indus
try Of Colorado and that the public
prosperity depends in large measure
upon the condition of that line OF
enterprise. While the mineral wealth
Of the state is, of course, a big asset, it
ir by no means fundamental. Colo
RADIO is in fact great agricultural and
horticultural state, the product OF Its
fields and orchards exceeding many
times.the value of its output of gold
and silver.
1t may surprise some of our readers
to know that the per capita value of
its manufactures is not exceeded by
any statetin the Union save, possibly.
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connec-
ticut, New York and Pennsylvania
Agriculture and fruit growing under an
intelligent system Of irrigation have
reached development in Colorado
unrivalled, except in California, and
the treasures of Ceres and Pomona an
nually add many millions OF dollars to
the bank accounts OF their devotees.
People living in localities where they
are depenent upon the rainfall for the
growth and ripeDing Of their crops
cannot. easily comprehend the possi-
bilities OF the soil in a climate like that
of the Arkansas valley under artificial
irrigation. The capabilities of the
earth for the production Of fruit and
breadstufs is practically limitless
under proper care and cultivation, al
though it may seem to possess but
little value for their growth in prime
val condition. Thus it is with the ir
rigsted lands of Egypt India, Califor-
mia and Colorado; naturally arid and
worthless they become as fertile as the

other games that the church of God
encourage. There is as much differ
erence between amusements as there
is between heaven and hell.
But coming to the card playing
question. How many young men are
there today whon they enter a gam
bling hell and hear the clinking of
glasses and buzzing of the roulette

reminded of their home? What is
the outcome when joint like that

al gamblers were taught to play cards
at home and eighty per cent of them

Sow cards and you reap gamblers.
Cards will make gamblers as surely as
the saw mill makes lumber or the
flour mill makes flour. 1 believe in
wholesome amusements and think they
should be recreative and healthful,
both physically and morally. Cards
were invented to satisfy the cravings
of an idiotic king and have ruined
more men and women than almost
any other agency in the devils power.
Don't touch that which is damning
the world today. 1t may not hurt
you, but it will hurt others Society
in Canon City is doing more to con-
tribute gamblers than any other in
stitution and is accountable to God
for its pernicious influence.
Gambling dens are not SO dangerous
as the social card parties in the home.
The former has the window shades
drawn and the doors locked for they
know it is against the law. while the
latter is run wide open. Children
are permitted to look upon the games
and it is made>very attractive to them.

Evangelist Sunday urged men and
women to refrain from particip ating
in the fashionable dances Of today
the dances with the decollete cost umes,
and the dances which are SO su ggest-
i've to young girls. His appeal was
most earnest and when he called for
those Of the churches who had been
participating in the social card games
and the dances and were willing to
renounce them, there were over .
hundred that went to the platform to
clasp his hand In their allegiance to
the vows then made. Those outside
of the church who would renounce
the card parties and the dances were
asked to come forward.

OF prime Strawberries from patch 81
feet wide and 326 feet long. for which
he received in cash 37e5. Mr.. Kirkton
says that an acre OF strawberries in
this district properly cultivated and

gross income of 81 900.

quarters OF an acre in extent III. 8.

W. 8. Childs sold 23o crates of straw
berries from an old patch OF little
more than a third OF an acre for which
he received s275 after paying sll eI-

Cherries are little, II any, less profit
able than strawberries and frequently
pay as much as 500 acre.

Jesus Christ out of your heart There

purpose of rebuking the Episcopal

stand against the so cailed fashionable

against the liquor traffic.

Playing cards may not affect you,
but it may affect others. An illus

had labored SO hard in the social game
to win the cut glass dish. She lost
by only two points, but that defeat
caused her to be sick. One day her
