Labor Day was so well observed in
Glenwood that a general quietness
reigned. The streets were deserted,
all offices and public buildings were
closed and all stores locked their doors
at noon. The great strike had been
called off hence there was no occasion
for the habitual street corner adjusters
of the universe to hold their usual con-
claves. In fact the country in general
seemed to be taking much needed
breathing spell after the strenuous
week Just ended.
County Agent Alfred reports that Mr.
Archie of Rifle and Charles Wilson Of
Divide creek have each arranged for
the building of pit silo and each has
the same. The farmers who would turn
their corn into the best possible feed
must give attention to the silo which
will soon come to be considered an in.
dspensible adjunct to every farm in
the county, especially where cows ars
kept for profit.
In his speech at Pueblo last Friday
evening Governor Carlson proved that
he can talk on other SUBJECTS besfdus
prohibition as he did not mention the
prohibition subject during his entirs
address. Mayor Thorson of this city
was present and he says it was great
meeting in more ways than one. The
governor, without mincing words, told
who was fighting him and why they
were fighting him and paid his respects
to the Sothe-people- may know crowd in
no uncertain language and in way
that left no chance for doubt.
