Waiting for Stock Show

There has been considerable
disappointment at Denver over the
foot that the attendance at the big
International Soil Products Expo
sition in October included very
few farmers and stockmen from
the Rocky Mountain states. The
outside attendance at this event
was less than 5000, and most OF
these came from the small towns.
This result only emphasizes the
fact that Western farmers and
stockmen are unable to leave their
farms and ranches during the early
fall. Most of them are planning
to take in Stock Show week in
January, when there is no diff
Guilty to get away from home for a
week or two. 1t is the only time
in the year when the farmers and
stockmen as class are able to viss
it Denver. The Stock Show
means both business and pleasure.
Denver is expecting the largest
attendance of farmers and stock
men at the coming January show
that was ever had. In 1914 the
attendance was close to 10000,
and it is expected that at the COM
ing show there will be over 10000
outside people in Denver. The
railroads are planning to make
very low rates for this occasion,
and there is no longer any ques-
ton but that the show will be held
and will be larger and better than
ever.

II Costs Money
To Buy Hay

Times were getting mighty hard
in coon-town:
Half the coons around the town
We're eating snow;
Jasper johnson couldn't pay his
board bill
Just because he couldn't raise the

But the Jasper Johnsons of
Idaho Springs are not content
with eating snow. They want
beefsteak and ham, porkchops and
lamb, and a little chicken too.
Perhaps it's because there has been
real shortage of snow this season.
But, at any rate. number of fell
lows about town have been eating
without paying and if the restau-
rant and boarding house keepers
could now have their way they
would pay without eating for
while.

nourishment that while he cannot

arrests and prosecute the offenders
where it can be shown that the
law has been violated. 1t will be
