of those European nations, Who are
Thirsty for blood and war, ~e sort Of
wonder why it is that man il ever
ready to die, suffer tOrtures and pr,
, vations under tthe guise Of so-ealled
pariotism for their country, yet should
the denanl cone for the call of armies
armed with shovels, instead of guns,
to put in order the roads of their
beloved country, instead of killing and
being killed, to make war on mud,
chuck holes and the miserable make
shifts of roads that put q dent in the
pride of civilization, the brave soldiers
Of the shovels would demand at least
$3.50 per day, while sweating for their
country, and will bleed and die for
about 5000 to $1,000 a month and
think it an honor and a glory. It's
about time the human race were train
ed to be more proud of giving up their
sweat for their beloved country and
not 50 much willingness to give all
their blood for cause they hardly
realize the meaning Of.
While these hot sweltering days ara
on hand, and though it be mighty un-
comfortable to move about, or to work
with any degree of joy, there is one
consolation to help . fellow to cheer
up, and that is these hot days are
growing days, and such weather is
what is needed to make things hump
along and produce their fruit, before
the frost gets in his deadly work,
shout six weeks from now.
1t is a shame to have the fine stand
Of grain of C. G. Green, and Berscenyi
Brothers lodged and tangled, as it Is
from the result Of the heavy rains of
last week It makes it 4 difficult job
to cut it, and about impossible for the
binder to do = good job. Such is the
risks of farming, one has to take
chance from the day the crop is plan
ted, until it is harvested, with splen-
did chances of having the whole thing
spoiled by some sudden catastrophe
that might come up st any time, and
ruin a whole years work.
A while back, we were bemoaning
the fact that our agricultural knOwi-
edge was not up to the standard, as We
had thought it was, and illustrated the
fact a. to our deAeiency to this hus'
bandry art, by giving out that We
could not tell. for sure whether Frank
Heuschkel's cabbage patch was cab
bage or cauliflower, but we have
come to the conclusion that it is
eaulihower. 1t seems that We were
right and wrong, that is, Mr.. Heusch-
kel, informs us that that patch con-
tanned both caulifower and cabbage,
and to clinch the matter, presented us
with a monster cabbage, sure hum.
dinger, raised in that cabbage patch.
1t was mighty nice of him to give us a
chance to have some cabbage to glad
den our inner man with, something
besides "H.-2O."
II something is not done towards re-
pairing the floor of the Cardiff bridge
somebody is going to go through the
badly worn floor some of these days,
and as the Roaring Fork is going down
rapidly, it will mean that the unlucky
chap that goes through, will have but
little water to land into, which will
make his fall kind of hard, when one
considers the high drop from the bridge
to the rocks in the river bed below.
And considering the way that fate
has been treating us the last twenty
four years, it would be just our luck
to be the very one to 60 through that
bridge, hence this "holler" in regard
to the dangerous condition of the floor
ing of the bridge.
The golf links, over Cardiff way are
in first class shape. Some fine, real
lively games are scheduled for the near
future. Now what chance for q good
swimmer to offer his services As
caddy, and to be able to rescue any
golf ball that bounds enough to ind
its way to the Roaring Fork river,
after . heavy swat or two from too
anxious golfer; he could swim for these
golf balls and save many "eart-
wheel" that would have TO be spent
in getting new golf spheres to con-
tinue the game. And think Of it, all
this valuable information is free! all
that is required is to read the Post
and be informed as to what's what, in
the world Of today.
