Speaking of the Flu"
And How to Prevent 1t

In an ordinary conversation in
fected PARTICLES are expelled from
the mouth to a distance of three
or four feet. Thus danger zone
of four feet is created while car
rying on conversation. When
we cough or sneeze infected par
ticles are expelled to a distance
of nine or ten feet. creating a
danger zone of ten feet by such
act. In many of the hospitals,
big business houses and congest.
ed places, masks are worn dur
ing business hours and are
wonderful help in keeping down
the spread of the malady. These
masks are easily and quickly
made and extremely economical.
Made from butter cloth. six lay.
ers six by eight inches with a
compact thin layer of absorbent
COTTON through tIe c5nter, the
cotton quilted to the gauze and
all edges hemmed. Two or three
little tucks are made at the Gen.
ter of each edge. This will fit
over the nose and mouth and is
held in place by tapes from each
corner and running around to the
back of the neck and tied. These
masks can be washed often, but
a person should have more than
one on hand. People in near and
remote parts Of the county should
refrain from dancing. parties,
and all gatherings till after this
epidemic is over. If not, it may
be necessary to take legal action

The Broom Factory

ne 0TOOUl rdStOly
is THE greatest thing that could have been pro-
I jected within the confines Of Baca county or
that could be brought this way.
Its dimensions are 50x140 feet. For the fac
tory site two blocks n the factory addition to the
town Of Springfield have been secured and rock, of
which it is to be built, is now being placed on the
ground.
What the factory means to Baca county is
Broom prices for brush. instead of buyers
prices for it,
The Equity Plan of the Business
To make it briefly understandable, we quote
here the following from our factory circular:
Be it resolved by the board of directors of said
association
First. That SO per cent of what the brush
nets in marketed brooms be considered the mark
ct value of the brush of the stockholders in this
association and that all above this SO per cent. be
considered as net profits in the business.
"Second. That 25 per cent. of the net profits
when same has been declared-be paid on brush
Of stockholders brought into the factory, in addition
to the considered market value Of said brush.
q Third. That 25 per cent. Of this net profit be
declared as dividends and paid to stockholders ac-
cording to the shares of stock each holds.
Fourth. That the remaining SO per cent. of
the net profts-for the first year and until other
wise ordered by the board of drectors-be kept in
the business to be used as directed by said board
of directors.
Fifth That at the end of any factory quar-
ter of the factory year the plan Of payment of the
brush of stockholders may be changed by the
board of directors, if found that the so per cent
calculation is too low to consider the assumed
MARKET value of the brush of stockholders and
raised Il, such figure it is believed that the mar
ket may require
To give further understanding of it-there
are 500 shares of stock at 800 share, something
over 800 being now sold. Estimated cost Of max
ing ton of brush into brooms-$15o. With pres
ent general prices of everything, estimating SO
cents each as wholesale price for brooms-$b0o a
ton gross $3.50 net Ito be apportoned as by above
equity plan.)
How Shares Are Sold

The Mysteries of Life

There is mystery in the flush of dawn
upon hazy hill,
In the cool, blue night, and the
stars nearness when the day is
done;
In remote, untrampled ways that wait
mans coming, white and still;
In the spray of friendly fountains
dipping, rising in the sun.
There is mystery in the throbbing OF
a tired, haggard city,
in deep-laden merchantmen that
break the silence of the sea;
In old melodies and memories; mys-
terry In our pity
For those who hurt US; in forgive
ness, where forgiveness might
not be.
There is mystery in the sealed love OF
true heart and true heart
Newborn, miraculous, or tried by
years of searching pain;
In the final solitude of each mans
soul-distant, apart;
Mystery in our stumbling, falling
in our strength to rise again.
There is mystery in the willingness OF
men to fight and perish
For a dream, fleeing vision, an
ideal, when but breath
Divides the thing they hate as evil
from the right they cherish;
Their one reward to know their
dream will live beyond their
death.
There is mystery in the stricken-eyeo
grief of young hearts rend-
ing,
In old eyes looking back along the
road the feet have trOd:
In peace, which comes like sanctu-
airy at long life's ending,
And, at last, there is the shelter
ing mystery of God.
