THERES one who is contented-the bard who
writes this pome-though men around have
vented harsh language flecked with foam;
like the work Pm doing, the errands I'm pursuing,
the kind of rags Pm chewing, the wreath upon my
dome like the pay I'm drawing-it keeps me
out of debt-though other guys are jawing about
the wage they get; like the way Pm dining; have
no cause for whining although my face is shining
and damp with honest sweat like my little cot
drumming, like the book Pm thumbing; I'll have
no kick a-coming until Pm placed on ice l like
the Autumn weather, before the winter wakes; I
like the kind of leather of which they make our
steaks this world is good to stay in to put up wood
an dhay in, to work around and play in, and all
complaints are fakes. Oh evils are existing; I've
known it all along; I'm weening and I'm visiting
that many things are wrong; but beefing will not
cure them or help me to endure them, and so just
abjure them, and sing my dippy song.

OF special interest to the district as
a whole is the initial Safety First
week being held in the district. The
public at large is not aware of the
immense value of the educational
work now being conducted for the av-
erage person is not able to realize the
Significance of accident prevention
until he or she meets with some avoid
able accident. 1t is only by constant
attention that accidents are avoided
and by the invidual practicing of
safety first" unconsciously.
During the past week very active
and successful safety first campaign
has been carried on.
The Employers Committee of the
various Industrial establishments have
been very active in this movement and
the mn employed throughout the dis
trict have shown a splendid spirit in
helping it along.
The Segil-Campon Livestock Com
mission Company, cattle brokers, of
Denver, Colo, through Attorney F. E.

amounting to $417.90. The plaintiff
alleges that damages were incurred to
a shipment made during 1918, the cat

SAVED TWO FAMOUS PICTURES
Old Masters Taken by British officer

The king of the Belgians will shortly
have returned to him two famous plc-

ago, from Ypres cathedral. 1t apr

Ypres in 1915 a young British artil-

dral, which was being heavily shelled.
that the only things not shattered BY
German fire were two large Flemish
masters, dated 1900, hanging some 20
feet high on the walls. How to get
them and save them for Belgium was
the question which Immediately pre-.
scented itself. The officer called two
private soldiers to help him, and with
the aid of some long gas pipes which
had been blown down by the German
fire, and two large hooks, the pictures
were lowered to the ground. The of
ficer, Lieutenant Daniels, r. A., theT
cut the pictures out Of their frames
and put them in a large sack, which hs

Washington, d. C.-To gather

game birds and animals in the
Western States, as compared
with previous years, the United

asked that they be filled out
with as complete and definite
information as possible.
Recently 1000 Of these blanks
were sent to a selected list Of
hunters In all counties Of Wash
Ington state. The information
which will be obtained from the
replies, together with that sup
piled by the field representa-

reliable information on the game
bird and animal population Of
that state.
The bureau has already Is
