BUSY-BODIES AND GOSSIP.
MONGERS.

Every community is cursed by a
class of people who make it their busi-
ness TO attend to everybody's business
but their own. Such people are the
meanest specimens Of depraved
humanity which an all-wise Providence
permits to exist on this green earth.

Looking Back and Forward
and All Around

We should not get Joy out OF others

lesson that should influence us az

This has reference Most particularly
to the present troubles OF our orchard

II all the world were booming and
no troubles anywhere then the Canon
City orchard owner might have reason
to complain
But let's look about for the green
fields that are supposed to lay over

tree fruit crop OF every kind.
On the Western Slope OF Colorado
the peach growers know what troubles
are. Last summer they had bumper
crops but owning to low prices could
not afford to harvest the crop. The
peaches rotted on the trees or drop
ped to the ground. And this winter
has been so cold that practically all
the peaches are killed.
Last year in Oregon only about
eight car loads OF apples were ship
ped from the state.
Last year In eastern Kansas. the
best part OF the state. the wheat crop
was total failHre.
You remember a few years ago IN
Illinois It was SO dry that everything
was killed and even the wells dried
up. That year was followed by two
springs SO wet that very little corn
could be planted. especially In the
richer bottom lands
Oklahoma has been burned up for a
couple OF years and about every farm
or there wants to trade his property
for a Colorado fruit farm. You cln
prove this il you want to by putting
a To Trade ad in an Oklahoma c;y
paper.
Potato growers on the Western
Slope can't afford to ship their pro-
duct to market and potato growers In
the north end OF the state are pro-
ducing practically nothing owing to
a potato disease that has taken that

that the two Greeley papers. the Tri-

business men have had something to

FLORENCE NOTICES
EFFORTS MADE BY
CANON COMMITTEE

From Florence Citizen:
A delegation comprising Messrs. j

of the senate and house committees
on county affairs at the Brown Palace
hotel in Denver yesterday and the hon
ored guests were Representatives

y. Lines. all OF Fremont county. II Is
said that no expense was spared in the
way of entertainment and the menu
comprised everything from soup to
nuts. In fact the hosts had a few
nuts to crack" as well as a few chest
nuts to pull from the fire.
The matter OF the division of Fre-
mont county was seriously discussed
by the learned gentlemen from the
county seat and they turned on an
extra head of steam In presenting
their side OF the situation. Their prin-
cipal argument was that Canon City
is located within eight and ten miles
of the thickIy populated center OF the
county and inasmuch as 1t had al
ways been a county seat there Is no
good reason why II should not al
ways so remain. a real Joke" was
sprung when one of the committee
stated that II would be Just as prac-
ticable to divide the state of Colorado
and place the state house at Florence
as 10 divide Fremont county. A Hum-
Der OF other things were presented by
the committee to the guests relating
to the advantages of the county seat
namely the Skyline drive. the Royal
Gorge. Three Mile Springs. Arkansas
river water and the state penitentiary.
Just what effect the banquet will
have on the members OF the legisla
ture is not known, but they all ex-
pressed themselves as being highly
pleased with the menu

section
Sugar beet growers of all sections
are threatened by tarin reduction
that is worse. for them than the leai
roller.
These may be exceptional years sv-
erywhere but such years come in all
sections and they pass away.
We remember twenty years ago they
were fighting the scale, the red spider
and hundred other bugs on the or
ange trees OF Florida and the orange
growers were troubled as we are To-
day about what was the best dope TO
spray the trees with.
Two years after that winter freeze
killed every bloom and fruit bud
and half the trees in Florida, and they
have had several other freezes about
as destructive. Yet in the face of
these facts Florida grows. and new
people go there every year.
You remember a few years ago the
grasshoppers ate up every green thiag
In Kansas and spit on the stalks Aud
II you were not able to get together
enough to get away from Kansas that
year you remember that the next year
there was such big crop OF corn that
1t couldn't be sold and people burned
II for fuel-it was cheaper than pick
ing up the chips on the prairie.
And yet Kansas is a good state and
getting better. and Colorado people
have been known to trade fruit farms
for dry Kansas land
Canon City fruit growers have had
their troubles but we challenge the
world for a section that taken over =
period of ten years has produced as
much for the capital Invested and the
labor put on as the fruit districts
about Canon City.
And we predict that the next ten
years taken as a whole will be -
productive as the past ten years.
Looking back and forward and I'll
around we have much to congratulate
ourselves on-and besides other things
is the fact that we live In this beauti-
full climate and In the delightful SUI
roundings about Canon City.

Hardly has the dust settled that was
stirred up by the grand political pa

when we hear the patter of the feet
OF the little city election coming on
in the distance
We must elect a mayor and eight

Mr.. Frank p. Smith who was unan-

has told his friends that he would

town ever had. He has lots Of friends
who would be glad to see him again
honored.
Mr. Smith is a good winner and
carries honors easily and With due
modesty. And SIR. Smith has yet a
rarer quality. He Is a good looser---
one OF the best we have ever seen.
Mr.. Smith ran for state senator
against Matt Lines. He was beaten
