Colorado's Fairy Land

COlOradO'S FAIRY Lana
TUNE-"BEULAH LAND."
On lofty heights Of Rocky's range
There Colorado lifts her head
With rugged scenes. sublime and
strange
The queen of states with mighty
tread.
CHORUS:
o fairy land, dear fairy land!
As in thy rustic vale l stand,
The watera rushing at my feet,
The sparkling blue, where streamlets
meet;
The now-ciai peaks, the wiyinz
pines,
The starry dome, forever mine!
The morning sky is fringed with gold,
The sun shines down from azure blue
Thin clouds thousand tints unfold,
While heav'n becomes alb aze with
hue.
The pine clad range, with Jagged peaks.
Doth pierce the sky in yonder west;
O d BaIdy's head, IN suniit east,
In mai jesty ru Is all the rest.
The train winds up its circling way;
O'er yonder mountain pass its scars;
While hopeful miners ever, day
Win silver, zinc and golden ores.
On wint'ry day the snowflakes fall
And cover all in robes OF light;
Till mountain, pine tree, valley, all
Are quietly clothed in teathery white.
In summer thou art Paradise!
As spruce and cedar, lift their heads,
While odors sweet fcom baisam rise,
And Colnmbine its beauty spreads.
Gay flo ers profuse may here be seen.
Aud farmers crops of many hue;
The grazing herds on pastures green,
And gamey trout, are all for you.
In leafy shades and azure blue,
The feathery tribes come here to
nest;
The puebird, robin, snowbirds, too,
And eagle soaring Ger yon crest.
And " hen the evening shades prevail
In gorgeous. splendid, rosy west,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And brilliant stars lui all to rest.

ed Treasury Savings Certificates from
their banker or postmaster.
This period from November 9Th to
November 10th, is the first anniver-
sary of the Great Victory which was
won for us by our American soldiers

appreciates this victory, every pevson
who is q real American and every

gent man and woman does, should
celebrate the Great Victory and honor
our heroes by purchasing War Saw
ings Stamps and Registered Treasury
Savings Certificates Frank M. Smith,
Federal District Director, of the
Treasury Savings Division, announced
today.
Knowing that the people of Louis
iana--every man. woman and child Of
them-are loyal Americans and that
they all recognize ii is the intelligent
thing. the right thing and the neces-
sary thing to save. I. therefore. con-
fidently call upon them to celebrate
wisely, periodically apd intelligently
the great Victory Savings Week. as
our Government requests us to do.
"Louisianians, ask upu during this
Victory Savings Week to do honor to
the men who gave their lives for you

Mr.. Progressive Farmer.

April. 1888, l started the Farm and
Ranch. / believed then, although their
number in the Southwest was not very
numerous, that the progressive farm,
ers and livestock breeders would pa.
tronize real farm and livestock pa
per, serving faithfully their interests
at all times. l was not disappointed
in my conclusions.
Many who became subscribers with
Farm and Ranch without missing q
number. l value very highly their
continued loyalty and faith in Farm
and Ranch. and leave it to them, and
to the many who have since become
patrons and friends, to say if l have
kept faithfully my promise to make
the paper powerful, consistent sup
porter of the best interests of the peo-
pie whose patronage have asked for
and received.
Farm and Ranch was, at first pub
lished once a month, later twice a
month. Now it is a big illustrated
weekly. 1t has been, at all times,
clean, interesting, instructive and re-
liable. In these know have>not at
any time failed.
Now, after thirty-seven years, al
ways personally on the job, it is my
ambition to have every man in the
Southwest who has faith in farming in
its different branches become SUBJ
scriber to Farm and Ranch.
Send me your SUBSCRIPTION, and if,
after reading Farm and Ranch each
week for three full months you are not
satisfied that you are getting even
more than full value for the subscrip-
ton price, write me and l will return
the full amount Immediately.
You who do not known Farm and
Ranch, l refer to your neighbor who
is already subscriber.
On my proposition-you moneys
worth or every cent of your money re-
turned-I ask your subscription.
The subscription price of Farm and
Ranch is two ($2) dollars for three
years-156 copies. No subscription is
taken for less amount and time.
Please send your subscription direct
to Yours faithfully,

The Effects of the Strike.


The people of Louisiana have
just passed an experience of
the effects of the strike. Seven
or eight big ships loaded with
enough sugar to supply sugar to
three or four States arrived in
the port of New Orleans, and the
.longshoremen refused to unload
them, And so for the past three
weeks we have ALI been short on
sugar. Fortunately the Louis
lana crop will soon be available,
and as some of the big refineries
have been supplying New Or
leans 500 barrels daily of late the
crisis may now be said to be
about over.
The foregoing was put in type
last week, but was left over on
account of a crowd of matter.
Since then the striking long
shoremen have gone to work,
and are unloading IL shiploads of
sugar, besides a cargoes of cof-
fee and a dozen other cargoes
awaiting unloading.

MOTHERS DAY
Burgess McEntee Asks That
Next Sunday Be Observed
in Honor of Mother

The following proclamation was is
sued last evening by Burgess Nc
Entee:
II, Thomas r. McEntee, burgess
OF Steelton, do declare Sunday, May
IL, as Mothers Day. A white car
nation is to be worn as a testi-
monial of respect for mothers. 1t is
the duty of all loyal Americans to
so honor mother. 1t was mother
who saved civilization for the world;
she furnished the soldiers who
fought so nobly. 1t was the teach
ing of mother that made the Amer
lean soldier respect the women and
children in n foreign land. 1t was
mother who taught the boy to be an
honorable soldier and to fight for
so just a cause. 1t was mother who
shed the tears for that boy as he
was leaving his dear old home, per-
haps never to return, as many have
not. 1t is mother who must bear
the sorrows of the absent ones who
will never return.
We, as loyal Americans. cannot
do a greater honor to the good
mothers that placed such men with
good morals and courage in our
army, men who fought to a glorious
victory for America. Let us, as sons
of these proud mothers, wear a
white carnation in their honor, on
Sunday, the 11th day of May"

we should
Just as this State is leading the

"It surprises me very much to
learn that we are not buying bonds

Carrying on then we are assured that
Pennsylvania must not fail"
There are few of US, if any, who
cannot afford to buy Victory Bonds"
said Cyrus E. Woods, Secretary of the
Commonwealth. II mean that there
are few of us who cannot afford to
save money. That is all we are
being asked to do. We are asked
to loan a few dollars to the Govern
ment for four years. With this
money we will pay the balance of
the cost of the war. Are we going
to be any less patriotic than we
were on the day the drive at Chateau
Thiery began and the day the armis-
tice was signed?'
During the next week or 10 days."
said Auditor General Charles A.
Snyder, Central Pennsylvania will
be called upon to welcome home
thousands of soldiers of the Iron
Division. They are going to ask us
what we were doing while they are
on the other side. Are we going to
tell them that we were with them

Larry Eyre. They are not only one
of the best investment opportunities

purchase is a patr otic act which

Banking Commissioner John S.
Fisher, whose experience in finan-
cial affairs puts him in position to
command attention, urged concerted

Pennsylvania has performed nobly
