a thing as business without busi-

is action that results in achievement
Activity should spell achievement;
it has for you here AT Canon City.

ION. He sees a bigger and better
Canon City; a kinder and more con-

Rev. Higley. is the place where they
couple on the observation cars to
the train passing through the Royal

count He said the people of Canon

train while making the journey from
Denxer TO Canon City:
There arc many Billy Boosters.
And their faces always shine
with hope that is Inspiring
And a purpose most sublime
A plan they have to offer
To advertise their town.
And spread abroad its grandeur
And bring it GREAT renown-
The boosters yell is forward.
Upward. onward every day.
And they want the best thing going
In the very newest way.
They are not much discouraged
Al what Bise Balk may say.
Nor can he by his knocking
Their plans DER long delay.
The boosters head scheme progress.
That's far ahead OF time.
Defeating Bige's knocking
With a cunning half divine.
With courage he determines
To bear the stress and heat
For the booster never ,falters
And he never knows defeat
In the day of rush and hustle
The booster is the man.
He makes the desert blossom
With his irrigation plan.
He makes his dreams and hopes come
true
As only boosters can.
He scales the mountain fastness
And drills the deepest mine.
He builds beautious driveway,
On the high sky line:
His name is Billy Booster.
Just make his spirit thine.

Rest Room and Library.

The members of The Meade
Ladies Band have taken up the
proposition of establishing a public
rest room, club room and public
library combined. A movement is
on foot to secure a suitable building
and if this can be accomplished the
ladies will establish a place, where
not only the ladies but also young
men may spend their leisure time.
We are pleased to announce that
some one has taken this matter up,
as the establishment of such a place
will fill long felt want, especially
to people from the country who
come here to do their trading. They
may go to this room and feel that
they may make themselves at home.
We believe that place of this kind
W h ere the people from the
country may have the pleasure of
meeting the town people, will tend
to promote a more sociable feeling
between both. The ladies should
receive the support of the entire
town and community.

The County Meet.

The First Annual Meade Coun-
ty School Meet at Meade was a
great success.
About IS were here from Fow-
ler and 40 from Plains.
The schools participating we're
Meade, Fowler, Fowler Academy
and Plains.
Fowler won the Meet by five
points. Meade was second and
Plains third. Plains did not en-
ter many of the athletic events,
but furnished several good con-
testants for the literary events.
Great interest was manifested
and the attendance both in the
afternoon and evening was large.
The streets were thronged all
day long and only circus day
ever saw a greater crowd in
town.
The field meet showed hard
work on the part of the contest
tants and the program in the
evening was good all the way
through.
The Meade participants did
we'll and under different condi-
tions would have probably won
by big margin. Several of the
best athletes have quit school
only recently and the team was
badly handicapped when pitted
against the strong team from the
Academy.
The judges were Prof. F, O..
Rindom of Liberal, Supt. N. F.
Dunn of Kiowa county and Supt.
F. L. Wright of the Bucklln
schools. Their decisions were
acceptable to all and there was
no complaint.
The program was very long
but interest was good. Prof.
Ruehlen, of the Plains schools,
Prof. Hadley, of the Fowler
Academy and Prof. Scott, of the
Fowler city schools were here
with the teams from the various
places.
The girls from the different
schools We'd with each other as
to who could make the most
noise. School yells and songs
gave them ample opportunity to
exercise their lungs as each
cheered and urged on to victory
their favorite team. E.
The Meet was conducted in a
very pleasing manner, was big
thing for the schools and will en-
courage the boys to work hard to
win the next. Prof. Comfort is
to be congratulated on the neat
manner in which the Meet was
conducted,
