They had always lived humbly, but
respectfully. From me day that Al

had but one thought In his mind-her

the little ones who came to them as
the years passed on.

The recognition of the fact that he
was getting old. that he was missing
something in life that might make
him better and happier. appealed TO
him powerfully tbs Christmas eve.
He had mechanically distributed the
usual Christmas largesse at the Office.
Homeward bound he had neglected no
appeal from the street mendicant.
This was not soul-satisfying, however.
1t had dawned upon him that he had

The first named was a widow and
second cousin. Hughes had supplied
the capital to start her in boarding
house at her urgent request and she
had managed to make living out of
it. For a time he called and she had
put herself out to make upon him an
impression of admiration of his sue
cessful business record, of gratitude
for his financial cooperation. Of her
love and devotion for him, the last
near relative she had In the world.
Then, too, she had appealed to him
in strong way. Once she had tax

Farm Bureau
Meetin Is Success

The annual meeting of Ihe Fremont
County Farm Bureau at odd Eel ows
hall here on Friday, was perhaps the
most successful gathering of the kind
that has taken place here i'm decade.
There were more than $40 people in
attendance, and they represented
every agricultural community in the
county. The corn show, which was
an incidental feature, was moro than
creditable, and it is stmated, was
visited by nearly 500 ppp.e during
the day.
The Farm Bureau meeting was ad-
dressed by Mayor C. A Digys, who
extended it hearty welcome On be-
half of the city. by JudgelI. w. Ibbot-
son, who spoke for the Canon City
Chamber of Commerce, and by Mr.
Rogers of Fort Collins, president OF
the Larimer County Farm Bureau. AL
made splendid talks and wera listened
to with the utmost interest.
Excellent music was furnished by
male quartet and the Penrose High
School Glee Club. A sumptuous din
ner was served by the members Of
the Farm Bureau in the hall at noon,
to which many guests were invited.
At the business session of the bu.
reau a board of directors was elected
for the following year, composed of
Frank R. Lamb, George S: Turner, w.
w. Goodwin, John Graham, William
Mackenzie, NJ. E. Snow, Mrs. w. w
Goodwin, Mrs. Richard Houle, Alex
Hannah and Elton B. Woodford. the
members of the board will convene At
the Office Of County Agent Taylor at
the court house the first Saturday in
January to elect officers and to ap-
point project committee, which will
be continued during 1921.
1t was decided by a practically
unanimous vote at the business ses-
sion of the bureau to increase the
membership fee from 81 90 to SIS 90
for the next ensuing year. 1t was
also stated that President Jameson
of the state organization would be
here next week and that an intensive
DRIVE for new members would be
launched in all parts OF the county.
Mr.. Jameson lives at La Veta, and IS
devoting himself with great energy
TO the work and enterprises of the
farm bureau.
The corn show was judged by Prof.
A. c. McClymond of Fort Collins, field
specialist Of small grains for the Agri-
cultural College. He complimented
the exhibit very highly. both for the
general character of the display and
the varieties of grain it represented.
He said that it demonstrated that as
good corn could be grown in Fremont
county as in any portion of the state.
He declared that by planting good
seed, making careful selection of var
tiles and by proper cultivation, corn
could be very profitably produced in
this portion of the Arkansas valley.

SLAUGHTER BEACH

It is strange that beach so nicely
situated as Slaughter Beach should
not build up and become one of the
fest family resorts on the coast. 1t is
an ideal motoring place and perfect
ly safe for children and timid people
to bathed There are fish, clans and
crabs in abundance. People of Milford
could make it by expending some
money, a place of which they would
be proud of. A hotel under proper
management could be made a money
making proposition, and would be full
of guests the entire season. 1t is
wonder that some of the wealthy peo-
pie of Milford don't take up the mat
ter and force it to successful con-
clusion. Drs. Frank and G. Layton
Grier who are so liberal minded
could not do anything which would be
of greater benefit to the people of
Milford and vicinity. than to help
raise Slaughter Beach to higher
plane. 1t is naturally MilfOrd's water

make it go.
They say Hotel Wyatt is the place
for splendid meals at reasonable
prices.
Dr. Walter L. Grier has purchased
from J. A. and r. E. EllegoOd the
Cross Cottage. Dr. Grier intends to
make extensive Improvements in the
near future.
Don. Holzmueller and wife are en-
joying their cottage for the season.
Arthur Derrickson and family are
in the Macklin cottage for a week or
so.
J. A. Ellegood, wife and Miss Thay-
er are spending the summer at their
cottage here. Miss Alice Prettyman of
Glendale is visiting them.
George S. Grier, wife and two chill
dren are at their cottage here.
Fishing parties are very popular.
Mr.. Graham of the hotel has a Naptha
launch, in which he takes parties to
the coral beds. Some large catches
are reported.
Lena Swain and Alice Prettyman
went grabbing. They caught four
concks and thought they were crabs.
G. Thomas Reed and family are at

Ora Cannon and wife are spending
two weeks at Wyatt's Hotel.

erected by Jeb Davidson and Clarence
Warren. 1t is a wonder.
DR.. Willard Pierce and family are
enjoying the sea breezes from their
cottages.
DR.. Messick and Rev. Dryden of
Milford caught ITO trout at the coral
beds one day last week. Some of the
fish are said to have weighed ten
pounds.
So many people are going to
Slaughter Beach this year that they
find it difficult to park their automo-
