WHEN THE FLAG GOES BY

Does your heart beat faster or your
eyes grow dim,
When the Flag goes by'
Is there something the sight Or
it-that rouses all your vim
When the Flag goes Oyl
All its colors are so clear
All it stands for is so dear,
Don t you want to shout and cheer,
When the Flag goes by!
There S a sad and sombre side and an
other view to take,
When the Flag goes by;
Of the many, many hearts that in an
guish throb and ache,
When the Flag goes by;
Mother, sister, sweetheart, friend,
Who their loved ones bravely send,
Right and country to defend,
When the Flag goes by.
Rouse, then, patriots everywhere, let
each one do his part,
When the Flag goes by;
With Judgment born of wisdom and
a truly loyal heart.
When the Flag goes by;
Not for dollars, pelf nor gain,
Nor for mean ends to attain,
But ideals to retain,
When the Flag goes by.
We have lived so many years meath
oar starry banner bright.
When the Flag goes by,
That Freedom is to us not a privilege
but a right,
When the Flag goes by;
Hear our brothers fearful pleas,
Hear their plant across the seas,
Help them Life from tyrants seize,
When the Flag goes by!
Marian Dearborn Merry.
Where my drowsy folds are caught;
strain to be off ON the old fierce chase
Of the foe we have always fought.
o People I made, said the Flag,
And welded from sea to sea,
am still the shot-riddled rag
That shrieks to be free, to be FREQ
Oh, cut my silken ties
From the roof of the palace of Peace
Give back my Stars to the skies;
My Stripes to the storm striped seas
Or else, if you bid me yield,
| Then down with my crimson bars,
And o 'er all my azure field
Sow poppies instead of Stars.

Jack Bowman. OF Rocky Ford, was
the most distinguished visitor in the
county seat last Friday. Jack Is
having all kinds OF honors thrust
upos him nowadays. and is doubtful
whether he viii be able 10 survive
them all. quite recently the re-
publican board OF county commits
sioners endorsed him for appoint
ment as water commissioner in this
district, probably for the reason that
they were quite well aware that It
would take a simon pure democrat
10 land the job any way, and Jack
vas the most likely one OF the bunch.
Just a few days ago more hOnors
we're thrust upon him. He wrote a
letter to one Of the newspapers In
Rocky Ford suggesting a fine bunch
of wealthy, retired business men as
candidates for the aldermanic Jobs
in the melon metropolis. 1t would
be a labor OF love for them TO look
after the business affairs OF Rocky
Ford. and as they had made great
success Of their own business A.
fairs they would probably do as well
looking after the business affairs
OF the melon metropolis \ week
later along comes another cores

4 special meeting of the city coun-
ell was held few days ago for the
purpose OF considering proposition
submitted by c. c. Seelye. OF the
Mountain States Telephone Com
pany. in regard to granting that
company Il franchise. The original
twenty-year franc1Ise granted by
the city to this company expired De-
tober 80. 1914, and since that time
the telephone company has been OPP
Grating without a franchise, repre-
seutatiyes OF the company and the
city being unable to agree upon the
terms OF the franchise.
The proposition submitted by Mr.
Seelye is that the company will pay
the city two per cent OF the gross
amount pei arnum derived from all
exchange service revenue from all
subscribers directly connected with
the switchboard In this city. payment
to be made semi-annually. All tele-
pA'iA' H'i ~ iAs AAAoA'N ~ AA' toEl-
pany to the city will be paid for
at the regular rates.
The company has been operating
In this city for twenty-nine months
without franchise, and one OF the
conditions OF the new franchise Is
that two per cent OF the gross rev.
enue derived by the company during
this period shall be paid 10 the city.
or from the time the old franchise
expired to the end of the ten year
period for which the new franchise
will be granted. This means that
the telephone company will pay to
the city two per cent OF the gross
revenue which has been derived from
subscribers OF the local exchange
during the iwenty--nine months that
1t has been operating without a fran
chise. This will amount to sl,0sO.
The telephon" company also very
generously stipulates that the city
will not have to pay for the tele-
phone service that II has had during
this twenty-nine months period. In
the future, however. 1t will have to
pay the regular rates. which for the
service rendered the city amounts
to $3.50 per month
The ordinance. granting this fran
chise will probably be placed on its
first reading at the next meeting Of
the city council.

Six Reasons Why Farmers
Wives Should Vote.
fAMELIA macdonald CUTLER.)

(AMELIA MACDONALD CUTLERY
l. Because the farmers wife is the
farmers working partner and she ought
to have an equal right to vote on ques-
tions affecting their business.
2. Because she Is vitality affected by
the laws under which inspectors from
the city can investigate farm produce
and drastically enforce farm laws.
8. Because she is deeply concerned
in the laws governing her neighborhood.
If the farm hands vote license 1t is the
farmers wife who suffers.
4. Because by her work on the farm
she helps to pay road taxes, and she
should be allowed to vote on where the
roads are built.
5. Because experience in the oranges
has shown that women vote for farm
interests.
6. Because the votes of farm women
would double the rural vote.
Farmers have less political influence
than they had before the civil war.
Farmers need to get back their politi.
cal power to protect their interests.
Farm interests concern the farmers
wife just as much az the farmer.
Farmers and their wives voting TO-
gether would conserve farm interests.
FARMERS, YOUR BEST INTERESTS
WOULD BE SERVED BY VOTES FOR
YOUR WIVES. "a 80
