PIONEERS DAY

Written for the Pioneers Day cele-
bration held at Geronimo, July "a, 1918.
"The heavy clouds hung dark
The waves and water o'er,
When band of exiles moored their
bark
By the wild New England shore. "
Two centuries on the clock of time:
Mankind but little changed since
then
Religion used in every cline
To persecute his fellowmen.
And the desert bleak and wild,
The savage plainsmen foe,
No mercy showed to man or child
From the tomahawk's dread blow.
Brave hearts the perils scorned
OF the wild and stormy waves;
Heroic souls with crowns adorned
Filled the lone desert graves.
There were men with hoary hair
Filled with souls great truth,
There was woman's brow, serene and
fair,
And the fiery heart of youth"
There were bitter wintry storms,
And the infants wailing cry,
There were bent and broken forms
Wheeling the hand carts by.
What sought they thus afar?
Bright jewels of the mine?
Rmown and fame? The spoils of war?
They sought faiths pure shrine. "
A hail that Pilgrim stock!
That crossed the stormy wave,
Aid to the world from Plymouth Rock,
4 birth of freedom gave.
And hail those Mormon bands!
In numbers few and weak,
That struggled Ger the desert sands
And climbed the towering peak.
aye! call it holy ground
The land where first they trod;
They left unstained what there they
found:
Freedom to worship God. "

Fruits and Vegetables Wanted

To refill our display jars and to
make up new samples, want all the
fine big specimens of fruit and
vegetables you can get. Bring them
to Cooper's Drug Store in Stafford,
just across from Browns store.
Mr.. Cooper, an expert druggist,
who has had much experience with
formaldehyde and fruits, has given
his service to the county and will
fill these jars if we bring him the
specimens. From five to eight pounds
is about the right amount of fruit
for one jar. Always pick the fruit
with a stem.
Let US show the stranger who
comes to visit US in the winter sea-
son when all the orchards are dor
mant, that we have as good fruits
as can be grown.
