ID. E. HOFF-Canon City has the
best climate have ever experienced.
I hear people here complaining about
the heat but know those people have

heat here. They would think j; was
really chilly. l worked in an ice
house at Enid this summer for awhile
and Their was such demand for ice

post has affected the volume of bust
ness done by Canon City groceries as
yet.
MAIDS MADSEN-I had unusually
good luck with my pigs this year and
sold 80 in just a day or two last
week at good prices. think raising
pigs is coed way TO make money in
this locality.
JOE QUINN--When people are NOV
| ing out OF town then the man who
handles secondhand goods has plenty
of stock on hand. but when they are
moving in his stock soon is exhaust
ed. Right now. everybody seems to
be moving in and secondhand goods
are not as plentiful as they have

When was back in Iowa and saw all
those fine farms and the fine homes
and nice cars ana everything else that
farm deems a necessity nowadays.
began to wonder whether or not
had not made mistake in taking up
profession. II | had taken to an
Iowa farm would have been living
in clover. both hguratiyely and lit
orally, now.
jim Patel certainly like this new
eight-hour idea at the penitentiary.
Yes, | am still as thin as ever. but
know | have to stay thin, because a
thin man can run faster than a fat
one. and what lyman needs is fast
runners down at his institution.
]. L. MORGAN am satisfied with
the location of the postofice at Fifth
and Main streets. 1t ought TO satisfy
all. 1t will help wonderfully in elm
mating the so-cailed east end and
west end factions, and will make an
incentive for all OF us to work to-
