That we will have constant growth
of home makers is only a vague con-
tception of the future. All of this and
many more facts being true, let us all
look toward to general reunion of
the settlers of Colorado in the coming
years, may we lift our heads and,
prove to the eastern people we can
make as good q showing as they dare
think of, and to do this we must stay
to the front and hustle.
Our green fields and stock yards
show for themselves the prosperity of
our community, our stores are up to
date and tinge the atmosphere with
prosperity. Our dairies although in
their infancy tell the story of the
future for the man with the pail, and
the cream checks that pass out each
week are a credit to many an older
settlement; that we have dairy county
Is certain. That we can grow abundant
crops with the usal amount of labor.
Now that we have succeeded in
interesting some people from the thickly
settled states, in the productive soil
around our town we feel that a new
era is in store for us. We have been
the pioneers in new country working
at q disadvantage, but with faith in
the country we have demonstrated that
crops will grow and that stock will
fatten on them, that the COW will turn
milk as rich in butter fat as she will
anywhere on earth, than the man with
some means can add to what he has, not
only a little bit, out abundance. We
still have plenty OF room for the
energetic man with some means. We
have no drones and need none.
