GEORGE WHIRLIGIG PIERCE

Though farmer in the broad sense OF the word
And direcoried tier of the SOIL
Hardly ever will you find hnl-hough you trapse around
behind him
Actually engaged in any kind OF toll.
He is generally sitting in his team
Holding converse with somebody on the street;
Showing almost much gumpon to admit OF the assump-
ton
That while tempus fugits he is off his beat.
Saw Senator, please send us the receipt
For holding down job like you are holding
Without being called shirk
Or appearing to work
Don't YOUR bosses ever hand you out scolding?
When his time is employed in politics
Or in working for the good OF fish and game
He's deyong his attention Grange business not to mention
His attempts push the Valley Fair to fame
Yet the farm OF the Retreat is up-to-date
EVERYTHING about the place is spick and span,
And his many Hostein resians devoid OF any LESSONS
That as beef would put them underneath the BAN
Saw. Senator, please send us the receipt
For attending many different thinglets
Without reaching condition
OF cerebral mal-nutr1tlon
Or equippng your anatomy with wlnglets'
Mr. Pierce is an unusual sort OF man.
His accomplishments many and diverse
He can write learned treatise on the subject Oh Pdleso
Or on trimming pen composition terse.
He is able to eXpound the theory
OF wlv trout spawn in the fall instead OF spring,
And devoid of trepdaton will deliver an Grafton
On the topic: Home-bred Farmers are the hing
Say. Senator, please send us the receipt
For developing brain so acrobatc
That no matter what the topic
Every detail microscopic
Is set forth in language equally en1Phauc

"The work of the Canon City Mer-
chants Association has. been chiefly
the prosperous, growing community
1t is today. At present we are living
in what might be termed an Industrial
Age. New industries are springing up
all around us, the country is full of
investors in search of location where
opportunities are favorable for the
operation of capital. The opportunity
for employment afforded by added in
dustries is sure to result in an in
creased population of the community
in which they are located.
The exploitation of natural re-
sources of any community with the
view of attracting and securing the
investment of outside capital can al
ways be best accomplished by the Or
ganized efforts of its citizens. Moth
ing predicts more truly the decay of a
community than petty strife and lack
of harmony among its citizens. When
the germs of decay begin TO multiply
it is time to stop everything else and
institute a campaign of disinfection at
once. If this is done in time, all is
well; if not, the disease progresses,
sapping the life of the commonwealth,
and soon capital, the sure cure for
commercial miasma, shuns the infect
ed city as If it were pest house.
Harmony is certainly essential to
municipal progress, and this can be
best instituted by means of a well Or

MRS. WILSON'S IDEA FOR
BEAUTIFYING FIRST STREET

| would begin by building guard
wall on each side of the street, the
wall to be three feet at the beginning
of First street and graduated until at
the intersection OF Main street itwould
measure. finished, a foot and half
above the surface.
The idea in mind Is to have stone
capped posts every twenty or thirty
feet in the wall, said wall to be made
of dressed stone capped with undres-
sed stone SO placed as TO form points
on the wall when in place. The posts
would have to be made a foot or so
higher than the wall to produce the
effect desired.
Crossing Main street ! would com
mence the wall at the building be-
longing to the mill and follow the
street down the hill only; keeping the
proportions the same as on the north
side. The west side OF the street
would have to be filled in to compare

Next, the little park on the east side.

common ground, for both are vitality

the improvement of the conditions of

"The best remedy for any apathy

When you run across fellow who
is knocking on the town, who declares
that it is backward, who just loves to
run it down: never argue with the
growler, for its not a bit of use. Take
good aim, my friend, and kick him

apt to find this fellow every day and
