Sending Our Money to Colorado

Captain Jennie Brandt, of the
Salvation Army, was in town the
past week, soliciting money with
which to care for the INDECENT
children of Colorado. The Sun
notices by the Rawlins Republican
that a Miss Alice Kaylor mad been
canvassing along the line of the
u. p. road for a Colorado Child
ren's Home which she was repre-
senting, claiming that Colorado
had about 10 Wyoming children
it was caring for.
It may not be generally known
that Wyoming has a Children's
Home, but it has. 1t IS called the
cathedral Home" and is situated
at Laramie, Mrs. Fl. A. Dyer is
the Saratoga representative. 1t
already has more than a dozen in
mates and they are being cared
for by the charitable donations of
people who are willing to help
those children. The Sun would
suggest that when any one is able
to contribute toward the care of
poor children that they remember
the Cathedral Home and reserve
their donations for our own institu-
ton, rather than send our money
to tie Colorado Homes
Colorado Homes have gathered
a rich harvest from the generous
people of Wyoming in the past 20
or % years, Every heart is touch
ed when they hear of the suffering
and need of children and these
collectors have carried away many
thousands of dollars for the sup
port Of Colorado Homes. 1t is
high time this sending money
away from home was stopped, and
we hope every will remember
to reserve their donations for the
Home at Laramie.

MOST CAREFULLY
SELECTED DISPLAY OF
APPLES EVER MADE

The display OF apples in connecticut
with the horticultural Institute being
held here this week is one OF the best
seen in Canon City for many years
Both box and plate exhibits are first
class and would attract attention ins
any fruit show In the United States.
Altogether. there are thirty boxes of
apples and one hundred and eight
plates of the same kind OF fruit In the
collection. representing practically all
OF the commercial varieties grown In
this district. and the showing made 10
one OF unusual excellence no far as
quality is concerned.
II is generally conceded that tho
display is superior to the one made ut
the institute twelve months ago. which
was subsequently shown at the Ma
tional Apple Exposition at the Audi
torium in Denver where IL captured
some OF the most coveted prizes In
competition with exhibits from all
parts OF the country. II is believed
that II II had been possible TO make
such a showing from the Canon City
district year ago as the one seen
sere this week Fremont county or
chardists would have won a still more
notable triumph at the national expo
sltlon In Denver in January 1910
In size. coloring. symmetry ans
other points that 10 to make up per-
fection the apples shown at the insti-
tute are very superior and the exhib-
II was the subject of much favorable,
comment and commendation. No dis,
tlnction was made In passing judg-
ment upon them by the awarding COM
mittee so far as to where they had
been kept previous TO being entered
in the competition. although the cold
storage ones had n shade OF advan-
tage over the celler packed fruit in
firmness and briiiiancy of coloring.
The display was educational In an ex-
ceptional degree and those who neg,
lected the opportunity OF inspecting
II deprived themselves OF a genuinef
treat OF the kind.

SPLENDID CITIZENSHIP
OF FREMONT COUNTY
FRUIT GROWERS

There is an intangible. indefnable

extremely alluring to men engaged in
sedentary pursuits and scores OF them

tions and nerve-racklng work of a
more strenuous" life and they nat
urally turn TO II as an Industry in
which they may ind personal and O.

Proof OF this statement may be had
by a canvass of the ranchers in the
orange growing section OF southern
California. OF Florida. or among the
apple producers OF Lincoln Park. Of
Frultmere and of Four Mile. Of Or
chard Park and Park Center. While
the have not all been bankers. mer-
chants or lawers they constitute one
OF the most cosmopolitan elements in
our citizenship and bring to the hor-
tIcultural OF the county n variety of
experience unknown in almost no 9TH
er field OF industrial enterprise. For
the most part men of education and
social refinement present day fruit
growers and their families are n valu-
able acquisition to any community and
give stability and tone TO its citizen
ship. Nowhere in Colorado can be
found a finer class OF people than the
ranchers OF the Canon City district
and nowhere is the standard OF moral
ity. education and hospitality righer
than among them. Many are college
and university men and their wives
are women Of the utmost culture. and
they are among the leaders In public
benevolence.
The fruit growers of Fremont coun-
ty have contributed their full share
to the advancement of horticulture
from the slip-shod methods OF gen.
Grafton ago to skillful and scinetific
business involving the highest degree
OF intelligence. The realize that the
best results from their calling can
only be attained by careful study and
by that eternal vigilance" which Is
the price OF success. Unwilling to re-

themselves together for purposes OF
research and investigation on the

The horticulturalists OF this section
of Colorado as a rule are very su-
perior class OF people In all essentials
and the well organized and we'll at

increased prosperity from year TO
