pers, c. j. Higgins, who has a pleas

matter a thought and proposes to en-
JOY the beautiful fall weather as long
as 1t lasts. The cool nights, though
they may be frosty, are conducive to
healthful and invigorating sleep, and
the pure, clear air of the September
days, and even those of October is
such that no man who is so situated
that he can take advantage of it can
afford to miss. Mr.. Higgins is always
one of the first of the Augusta cot
tagers to move out to the lake in the
spring and one of the very last TO put
up the cottage shutters in the fall.

EASTER WAS A
JOYOUS OCCASION

Although the weather for a week
or ten days preceding was unusually
disagreeable for our Canon City cli-
mate. the storm passed on Saturday
and Easter Sunday was characterized
by warmth and sunshine and was n
fitting occasion for the celebration OF
the festival OF resurrection.
The attendance at church was un-
usually large and the services were
everywhere beautiful and impressive.
Sacred cantatas were given and ho-
zannas sung to the Lord for bringing
life and immortality to light and the
hope offered to mankind OF n giori-
GUS resurrection from the grave.
Had the unfavorable conditions of
last week continued for twenty-four
hours longer. which threatened to be
the case, the appearance OF Easter
millinery and the display of new
clothing by both men and women
would have been impossible and
would have brought disappointment
TO many worshipers at the churches.
The weather man relented at the
eleventh hour. however. and Easter
Sunday dawned bcisht and clear and
was an occasion Of gladness and good
cheer TO all.
