San Luis Valley Kids.

Now. | guess you're wonderin'
What thing or what event,
In this pioneer carnival,
Us fellers represent
Some think that we're some animals
That Peary found up north.
Or else that Teddy brought
When from the jungles he came
forth
Some think were from Missouri,
That we have to be showed,
Not much. just wait, we'll show you
Some things you never knowed.
CHORUS.
We are a bunch of San Luis valley
kids
From where the spring zephyr
blows.
We would rather live out in the
sun and the wind
Than to do without the freckles
on our nose,
We can stick the saddle, we can
punch sheep and cattle,
We can shovel alfalfa too.
We live ON peas and ''frijoles"
And that's why we're strong
For the San Luis valley. true.
Oh, we're bunch of sunny kids
From Colorado land,
Go round the world and try to find
Our equal if you can.
We don't have spinal curvature,
Nor tuberculosis,
We can play or ride or swim
= AS healthy as fish.
We drink artesian water
Which from the snow bank melts
We hope our dads will all vote dry
So we'll have nothing else.
We're glad our fathers didn't go
To Klondike or Japan,
But started out towards Mexico
And struck San Luis land.
And now we're here to celebrate
And pat them on the back
And tell 'em that we're here to stay
And never going back.
For where in all creation
Can fellers have such fun
As in the green San Luis
Beneath the golden sun.

CELEBRATION AT SANFORD

Sanford's celebration of Pioneer
day last Monday was grand sue
cess. A big crowd was present
and the weather was pleasant.
First on the program was the
parade led by pioneer wagons
drawn by mules. The Sanford
band in the next float played sweet
music. Next came the beautiful
float of the Queen of the Day.
Queen Lizzie Reed was seated
under shell-shaped blue canopy
with her maids of honor arraigned
in front. Master Clint Mortensen
occupied the drivers seat holding
bright colored ribbons over four
handsome horses. Many other
floats. cowboys and indians COM
posed the parade of which lack of
space forbids mention in detail.
The church was crowded to listen
to a fine program. Frank o. Soule
of Manassa made the principal
address dealing with the early
history of the church.
The following address was made
by Miss Celia Smith who took for
her topic:

history of the church.
The following address was made
by Miss Celia Smith who took fol-
her topic:
Sanford.
In the autumn of 1855, on this
vast prairie in the southern part OF
the great San Luis valley, there
was a townsite surveyed and on
Sept. 9th. the first load Of lumber
was hauled over a cow trail and
deposited on a lot covered with
brush. Ere many days IA house
was erected, after this a surface
well was dug on an adjoining lot
and a tent put up, succeeded
by log cabin These constituted
the first two houses erected in
Sanford. The first 10y p A Nor
tensen and the second by Mr..
Owens
AS days came and passed others
found their way to this small
village and church and places Of
business were erected. True. with
all the disadvantages of new
place. but with brave hearts and
willing hands, TO rise above the
obstacles and difficulties that came
in their way and "A determination
to colonize and make for them
selves a place that they should be
proud to call their home.
With the coming of spring buds
began to burst and tiny plants
peep above the surface of the
ground. Crops. gardens and shrubs
were planted and ere another
autumn waving fields of grain,
growing trees and plants met the
eyes.
In the meantime education was
not forgotten A school was estab-
lished; first held in "a log church
until "a school house could be built
Later the graded system was intro
duced and with the closing of the
school term for 1904 the Sanford
public schools had the honor OF
having the largest graduating class
that, up to that time. had been
numbered on the pages of Conejos
county's history.
A little later high school was
talked of and we have Sanford tc
thank for originating and pushing
the present San Luis Stake
Academy. Since its beginning
Sanford students have stood at the
head and as a reward for theil
effort, they have had the honor ol
winning for that school its tirsr
gold medal.
With school life came the sports
and a desire as town to better
our physical strength. AS the
result of beginning we have the
Sanford Athletic Association o
which we are proud and ever ready
to stand by so long as the sports
and games shall continue enoblinl
and upbuilding.
With the increased population
of the peaceful little village O
Sanford the simple town govern
ment grew deficient and as steE
higher the town was incorporated
April 9, 1907. Since that time the
infant city has prospered undel
the new government. The city
council and all other officers striv
ing for its welfare.
After the first log church hac
grown too small it was succeeded
by the Sanford social hall, which
served some years as a church ant
amusement hall, Later a churcl
alone was planed and we have thu
stone structure that to-day hold
this audience. costing approx
mately $4,000.

race since the reformation, and its pro-
moters proclaim it will surpass in It's
eject the crusades of history.
1t differs from all previous religious
crusades in that the supreme effort is
to take the church to the people rather
than the people to the church, and it
will be characterized by a spirit of
broad humanity, by the personal con-
tact Of the workers with those needing
uplift rather than by the mere preach
ing Of the gospel to gathered thou
sands.
The first actual work began recently
In New York when James G. Cannon,
president of the Fourth National bank
and chairman Of the entire movement,
entertained ut dinner the thirty men
who are going out to give the first
impetus to n task which involves visits
to ninety Of the leading cities on the
North American continent and from
which the work will be mushroomed
until 1t reaches the smallest crossroads
towns in Canada and the United
States.
Large Employers Interested.
In the chain Of big cities extending
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast
in this country and in the big cities
of Canada extraordinary efforts are to
be made to reach all Of the people.
In New York, Chicago, st. Louis. Gin
cinnati, Denver and San Francisco and
cities to the north and south Of this
line large stores and big corporations
have agreed to give to their employees
from IL to two hours a day in which
to listen to the addresses hat will be
made to them IN their stores and work
shops.
There is to be, according to the pro
moters Of the movement, no s~ectarian-
ism, no se~nsationalism and little OF
no evangelical eXhortation in the work
The plan Is as far as possible to take
every man by the hand, to help him
In material things If he needs help.
and thus Unfold him in the Christian
faith.
A s%tupendous Undertaking.
Harry Arnold, a layman, conceived
this great religious move while asso-
ciated with the work Of the Young
Mems Christian association and in
furtherance Of the plan called several
meetings of the heads Of the organ
ization. All of them discouraged the
idea as being so %stupendous as to be
impracticable, but finally he enlisted
the aid Of Frederick B. Smith, a re-
ligious worker of note, and through
him reached with his idea practically
all of the leaders of the Protestant
faiths In North America, and work
was begun.
Now, with the preliminary plans prac-

st. Louis; c. S. Holt, Chicago; George
e. Keith, Campello, Mass, and Thorn
as S. Lippy, Seattle.
Will Work In Teams.
The field force consists Of thirty
workers, and the middle west is the
first battlefield. The force is divided
into teams, and each team is to the
movement what Il faculty Is to n col
lege. The teams are made up Of eX-
perts. They are evangelists, Bible
teachers, missionary leaders, social
service lecturers, men accustomed to
solve big problems and offhand speak
ers to men in shops and in the streets.
They go to different cities and hold
Institutes for eight days in each.
They then move on the next city. In
this way 1t is expected that college
sessions will be held in about ninety
cities between now and next May.
Men from the large cities will hold
extension institutes in small cities
near them.
Among the faculty members will be
the Rev. David Russell, just here
from South Africa; Frederick b.
Smith, head Of the Young Mems
Christian association religious depart
ment; the Rev. Charles Sickle Of the
Labor Temple, in New York; Charles

The only porous plasters ever invent
ed by man of more than one color.
The backs Of my Percolated and Pune
tuated are white, red, blue, chocolate,
green, pink and peach. Every one is
al ornament, and for that alone are
worth the money.
As soon as l can come across a first
class artist out of a job l shall ar.
range to have the back of some Of
these plasters handicapped. There will
be views along the Hudson, views in
the Yosemite, views in the Rocky
mountains. No use attending picture

Any person ordering a dozen Of the

on the backs without extra costs.
They thus cure themselves Of their all

The face Of these plasters must be
gently warmed to bring out the proper
ties before applying to the body. Az

commission, the verdict was: 1--WE find
nc alcohol here to get up a false slim

One plaster does the business for a
year. If you stick or more your heels
will be lifted from the ground, and
your exultation will be misconstrued
by the police.
My advice is to put the plasters
between the shoulders, but If any
other spot is more convenient take it.
