We haven't time this week to
tell our readers all the good
things that is in store for you
through the columns of the East
ern Colorado Times. That this
paper will be progressive, goes
without saying. That it will
stand for all things that tend to
improve agricultural and busi-
ness interests of Cheyenne coun-

foregone conclusion. We launch
this new enterprise under condi-
tions that are most flattering.
The business men, who have

Good Citizen.

To the good citizen of Chey-
enne Wells, we dedicate the fol-
lowing:
He breaks no laws, lives mo-
rally, pays his honest debts and
is never tangled up in lawsuits,
But he lives of himself, by him
self and for himself only. When
a call is issued for volunteers to
take hold of the car of progre s
and give a lift, he never answers,
When calamity has befallen peo-
pie in certain locality and cha
ritable humanity flies to their
rescue, he is never ore of their
number. When money is needed
to gild the spire of public enter
prise. his name is nsver on the
list. When he sees some neigh
bos stuck in the mud, he goes a.
round to avoid him. In fact,
were he standing on the shore
and should observe the ShiYNf
State fast sinking in the surt1
never a life line would he throw.
He didn't bore the hole in the
side of the vessel that lets the
water in, so it is none of his con-
Germ what happens. But were
all mankind made Of this kind of
clay, have you ever thought what
would happen? There would be
no churches, no hospitals for the
sick, no institutions for the un-
fortunate nor rest rooms for the
weary. Civilization would roam
in ,jungles and the strongest
would rule, He is not a good
citizen, but gets mad if you say
so. - y t-

Good Prospects.

The immense snow fall. prac-

ample moisture for the raising
of every crop that will be planted
this year.
Eastern Colorado is forging
rapidly to the front ss a good
farming country and the real
progressive farmers that come
from Illinois. Iowa, Misso ri ar d
other farming states and are set
tling on what is called our dry
farming lands, is sufficient proof
of the fact that land values this
year will advance more rapidly
than ever before. If you want
to buy a farm in Cheyenne coun-
ty, you had better buy it this
year, unless you want to pay a
big advance next year.
The value of real estate is the
foundation upon which our great
commercial structures are erect d
and upon which they all depend
for maintenance. and s, :ess.
If you have idle or surplus mon-
