chimes and vocalizations of songs

after they get here, will be kept
grinding away in the neighbor'
hood of the big crowds, from
morn to eve; and if other plight
entertainment is wanting, they
cen be brought into requisition
in the school house where by

washington, u. L. my guess
is that Colonel Roosevelt will be
a candidate for governor of New
York this fall. Thatis the belief
and the desire of practically all
the Progressives in Washington
and the Big Bull Moose will
eventually decide to permit his
followers 70 have their way.
Of course, Teddy does not
want to run. Governor of New
York does not seem much of a
position to man who has been
president of United States for
seven years. But the Colonel
recognizes that the progressive
I'arty is passing through the
most trying period of its short
existence. 1t must make an i'm
pressi"e showing in the COM
ing elections or it will not be
an important factor in 1916.-and
the Colonel will have some fish to
fry in 1916. Don't forget
that!

FAIR
PIE SOCIAL,

1t was u bowling success; and
the beautiful thing about it is
that it wasn't a success because
it was pie social, but because
it was county fair proposition,
thus showing tine feeling, senti-
ment, and enthusiasm for the
fair prevailing at Springfield and
vicinity.
When the fair was first being
talked the Herald suggested en-
tertainments as one of the
means of raising money, princi
pally in the way of an .ameteur
dramatic troop to tour the
county; and an irregular effort
was made to organize such a
troop, but it was without any
official sanction, so the effort was
not effective of results.
There is little doubt at this
time that if such troop had
been organized and put on tour
of the county with an effective
play, it would have been tinan-
cially very successful, as both
the play and its object would
have appealed to the people and
have filed the houses.
The pie social on the night of
the tenth was surprise in its
great success, as the pie-social
racket in the'last several moons
had been worked to death, thus
showing that it was nothing but
the cause that saved the day
and also showing that a troop
touring the county land probably
taking donations at the same
time) would have come back with
money to have financed the fair.
But a pie social is hardly a fail
thing, and we doubt if it would
be good policy to try it, again
Instead, we believe that some
thing that would be
ap )reciated for the entertain
ment itself should be put on the
boards the next time.
Such an entertainment might
be in the way of a play, staged
to come off in about thirty days.
or it might be in the way of a
well prepared musical entertain.
ment. consisting of both vocal
and instrumental music, the
songs being carefully selected to
amuse, entertain, and please.
The pie social last Friday
night netted SCI. 40. There were
forty three pies. E. Emerson
auctiOned off one half of them,
which he figured up to be twen
ty. W. A. Thompson, the Baca
county auctioneer, made the
good people buy the rest of the
pies.
The last pie sold went to the
uglies0 man. w. P. Bailey, Doc
Emerson, Gurn Thompson, e
mock koontz, Jesse Harrison
and attorney Allen were the
candidates. Koontz got the pie
by d small majority over Thomp
son.
A vote of thanks was then ex

ladies' furnishing the pies ant

n Poetic Governor.
Elias Annols Taxes the Poetic Measure of Teddy
And His River of Doubt

a nno Is Taxes the Poetic Measure of Ted
And His River of Douot.
(Bv Governor Ammons).
Declares that his strengths on the wane,
Denounces the grape juice of Bryan,
Insists that it's not even sane.
He dreams all his friends back in office,
And ali of his enemies out,
AS he dimes on morsel of monkey
And sails up the River of Doubt.
He revises the ten commandments
And brings them all quite up to date;
Bewails the mistakes of old Moses,
And signs at poor LincoIn's slow gait,
While Washington's S laundering tactics
Produce most terrible po"t,
AS he swallows wee bit of monkey
= And sails up the River of Doubt.
In dreams he's enraptured the people
And all of creation subdued;
To the furthermoSt side of this planet
There's against him not even feud.
While the worlds population will honor
And angles will bow round about,
As he dimes on a diet of monkey
And sails up the River of Donbt.
If ever the Colonel awaliens
From delight of his beautiful dream.
IF ever in strenuous fashion
His pledges he tries to redeem,
Pehaps he'll discover his error;
And surely he'll not take the gout
IF he sticks to his diet of monkey
And sails up the River of Doubt.
