Eenderfully enchanting spot, rich
IN natural beauty, with a summer
climate Of surprising excellence,
and with attractions so numerous

noted as one of the ideal hot wealth

members Of the press association
are enthuiastic over the lakes, and
The descriptions they will give in

reflect this enthusiasm in a manner

hospitality entertained while there.
Immediately on their arrival de-
licious ice cream and cake was
served by committee, made up of
some of the prominent ladies of the
place, after which the visitors were
formally received and welcomed in
Odd Fellows hall, in the presence
OF many of the local people. The
hall was made appropriately attrac-
tive by fine specimens of small
fruits, grains and grasses, grown
by nearby farmers, which were
much admired, and there was con-
siderable astonishment when the
announcement was made that the
specimens were grown without
irrigation. Rev. HI. G. Warner, pas
tor of the Christian church, made
felicitious address of welcome in
which after paying graceful trib-
ute to the press and it's far-reaching
influence he spoke of Roseberry
and it's natural resources. He also
outlined some of the plans of the
owners of the townsite, stating that
these were to include a creamery,
already under way, a Touring and
planning mill and bank, with a
beet sugar factory as a possibility
if tests should demonstrate the
feasibility Of such project. The
townsite is to be laid out along
modern lines, with park, and other
provisions for the pleasure and
convenience of the people. One of
the chief attractions of the new
town will be temperance provis-
ion in the deeds to town lots, pro-
hibiting the sale or giving away Of
intoxicating drinks for beverage
purposes. Mr.. Warner said the
people there believed in the FEAST
bility of their plans and invited
the cooperation of good people
everywhere in carrying them out.
At the conclusion OF
the speech making dinner was
announced, which was served by
the good ladies at the home Of Mr..
and Mrs. Ira Blankinship in most
acceptable manner. 1t was indeed
a bountiful spread of good things
and rounded out the thoughtful
courtesies of the Roseberry friends

AN OLD STORY
Well Told and Worth Your While
TO Read

There is no better way of
building up Fable than giving
TO our home bu>ine SIS men our
entire and exclusive patronage.
The more we give them, the
more we help the town.
No town can grow and pros
per as it should unless its citi
zeus spend their money at
home.
An old story, you say? May
he so; but it's true. It's poor
idea for the farmer TO send off
for an article that eau be pur-
chased at his home town. 1t is
simply business suicide for town
people to dc it. Aud yet they
do, sometimes.
Down at Louisiana they have
Commercial club, the object of
which is TO encourage the loca-
ton of factories and public en-.
terprise ia that city. One of its
members sends to Quincy 10

standing the city has a first
class laundry, and the river is
so close by.
At Mexico, one or two bust.
ness men who are taking an
active part in having the shoe
factory located there, send
away for their printing.
Is it not natural to think tina t
they would buy their shoes
from a foreign market, in case
the factory should be estab-
lished there? Mexico also has
two bakeries, though bread is
shipped in, or was, from other
places.

Only Love Knows


To what shall liken the lips
of you, sweet
Red o the rose
Leaning to Love in some Grim
son retreat
W here sunbeam and dewdrops
in ecstacy meet?-
Only Love knows!
But wild DER the world, in a
vision of bliss,
Sunbeam and south wind would
race for "A kiss!
And what is the glad song they
sing to me, Sweet?
Only one word!
But earth then knows heaven,
and lite is complete,
And litanies tender the lilies
repeat,
And each bloom breathes a
bird!
And deep calls to deep--all
Life's fountains are stirred
Breath of life, death Of life in
that wonderful word!
