Waldo county is more especially farm
ing section, but there are fine opportu-
mites here for number of manufactur-
ing establishments and some excellent
water power, and capitalists seeking
such sites can obtain such advantageous
offerings as will insure them most sue
cessful results. Thorndike offers special
inducements for corn canning factory,
and the locating of one here cannot fail
to be most successful.
The opportunity for the extension of
the poultry industry here is comparative
ly unlimited. That the returns therein
are far more satisfactory than in the
dairy industry is not questioned; besides,
much of the laborious work that one is
compelled to meet in the dairy is not re-
quired in the poultry yard. There need

There are sections in Waldo county,
where capitalists seeking profitable in
vestments, who are now putting their
money into questionable schemes in 9th

worth of adjacent farms and put them
all under the care of competent super

them occupy the several farm buildings

The sun never shone a county more fair
Then beautiful, peerless old Waldo
There's life in the kiss of her purified air,
Old Waldo prolific. dear Waldo.
Her sons are all sturdy, so noble and bright,
Her beautiful daughters are just about right,
And her babies, God bless them, are end
less delight,
That crop never fails here in Waldo.
Our homes are alight with halo of love
In Waldo, contented, dear Waldo.
We bask in the smile of the heavens above,
No clouds ever darken bright Waldo.
Our grain waves in pillows of gold in the sun,
The fruits of our orchards are equaled by
none,
And our pumpkins lots of them weigh most
ton.
We challenge the world here in Waldo.
Our girls are sweet models of maidenly grace
In this modern Eden of Waldo.
They are perfect in figure, and lovely in face,
That's just what they are here in Waldo.
Their smiles are bewitching and winning and
sweet,
Their dresses are stylish, yet modest and
neat,
A Trilby would envy their cute little feet.
In the golden glowed sunland of Waldo.
When burdens of life am called to lay down,
hope it will be here in Waldo.
l never could ask more glorious crown
Than one of the sod of fair Waldo.
And when the last trump wakes the land
and the sea,
And the tombs of the earth set their pris-
oners free,
You may all go aloft, if you choose. but for
think I'll Just stay here in Waldo.
