WOMEN
BY Fred A. Campbell

Ever since the time of Adam,
When that duffer got his fame,
We've been always knocking women,
For our wrongs she gets the blame;
She's the one that causes trouble,
What great place this would be
If this world was for men only
And from women we'd be free!
Every time that men get loaded,
Twas some woman made them so,
With their nagging and their scolding
Off on drunk they made us go.
If we steal, twas they that made US
To get clothes for them to wear.
Really it is something awful,
All the ills men have to bear!
And the preacher in the pulpit.
He must knock the women, too,
How they smoke, drink and gamble,
At their clubs what things they do;
Th " neglect their homes and child
Run around both day and night;
Just think how the poor men suffer,
On my word 1t is fright.
Let me tell you. my dear brother.
Even if these things were true,
Yet a woman is a bad one,
If she's not as good as you
Show me where there is woman
Who perchance has gone astray,
And I'll show you close beside her
Some fool man who led the way
If she smokes twas you who taught
her
If she drinks you showed her how
If she is as you have made her
Is it right to knock her now?
God made man and God made woman
Both upon different plan
There never was woman real bad
woman
That was not made so by man.

lutely. In years past, failures In the
hotels and boarding houses have been
OF common occurrences, due principal
ly to the exorbitant prices proprietors
of these establishments have had to
pay for their meats-the main ex-
pense of hotel or boarding house.
1t will be our purpose to enable
those running places of this kind to
buy their meats at a price that will
permit them to make a profit in their
business.
Another good thing we have accom-
plished by engaging in the meat busi-
keeping large amount of money at
home that was sent out of town for
meats. We have no less than doz-
en- customers who told us the money
they are spending with the Observer
for meats is the first they have
spent in town in several years, as
they just could not afford to pay the
high prices for meats that have pre-
vailed in the county for years. They
are willing to spend their money at
home provided they can get meats
at the right prices, but they will not
stand to be held up. And who can
blame them!
For the coming week, the price list
remains the same. Try to have your
orders in for Saturday evening by
O'Clock Friday afternoon, at which
time we phone to Denver.

The Place
Toby
Your Meats

Preparations have finally been made
in the Observer meat department to
serve the needs of the people who
are not in position to buy meats in
large quantities; also those living in
the outlying districts who are not
able to get to town the day follow
ing the arrival of the meat. An ice
box large enough to store several
hundred pounds of meat has been in
stalled and after this week, we will
have a big supply on hand. We have
lost a great number of sales by not
being able to keep a surplus of meat
to accommodate those forgetting to or
der, or those living in the country
who did not know in advance on just
what days they would be in town
and therefore could not place an or
der. We can now take care of the
ranchers and the home trade upon
short notice.
Remember, we can supply any
thing in the meat line from a weiner
wurst up to a whole carcas of beef,
not excluding poultry. So il you do
not see listed each week just what
don't have the article on hand it
will be sent up from Denver in the
shipments that, will be made more
frequently than heretofore.

Centennial TO SPREAD
THE HABIT OF SAVING.
Anniversary of Founding of First Saw
ines Bank to Be Observed.

Next year is the one hundredth ami
versary of the founding of the first saw
ings bank in the United States, and q
movement has been inaugurated to OBJ
serve the centennial by a nation wide
campaign for the promotion of thrift
among all classes. Preparations have
been begun for undertaking the cam
paign on Jan. 1, and the plan is receiv-
ing the support of prominent bankers
and public men.
In siXty-two cities of the country,
each with a population of more than
$1,000, the campaign will be conducted
through the local chapters of the
American Institute of Banking; in the
smaller cities and towns, through
banks which are members of the Amer
lean Bankers association; In the
states, through the secretaries of the
trial workers will be reached through
the National Civic federation and the
immigrants through the national Amer
icanization committee.
Ilasmuch as immigrants, as a rule,
are accustomed to government savings
banks in their own countries and de-
pOsit their money here in the United
States postal savings institutions, the
government officials In the postofice
banks will assist in fostering In the for
eign element a feeling of confidence In
savings banks. The bureau of CONNER
cial economies at Washington will sup
ply lectures and motion picture films to
be used for thrift meetings.

Washington was hardly prepared to

been digging into the garbage dumps
OF the country.
AS a result of this latest inquiry the
department. of agriculture announces
that Washington is the most wasteful
city in the United States. Careful ex-
aminations of the contents of garbage
cans were made with a view to deter
mine what percentage of food prod
ucts daily thrown away might have
been put to wholesome use had house
wives of the various cities conducted
their establishments more economi-

No Santa In

Santa Claus has no existence In Ger
many. The gifts are received from
Kris Kringle, a corruption of Christ
Kindlein, or the infant Christ, "from
whom cometh every good and perfect
gift" They are placed not upon the
tree, but upon the table beneath, to
signify that in bestowing Upon US his
bounties our Saviour has in no way
diminished his own glorious beauty.
In Germany the Christmas tree is new
er denuded in the presence of the chill
dren. 1t stands in the main apart
ment of the establishment from Christ
mas to New Years eve and is then
privately borne away by the older
members of the household.
