Mr.. and Mrs. Will Collet of north

the entire community in the loss of
their little 20-months-old daughter.
The little child strayed from the

went to the barn and fell into tank
of sheep dip, and when found, had
drowned. The child was not out of
sight of the watchful care of its
mother more than ten minutes, and
upon missing the child from the house
she begun a search, and in going to
the barn found the cniid in the tank.
She recovered the little body and at
once called neighbors. It was very
sad affair and the mother and father
are almost PROSTATE over their loss.
The child was buried in the Bennett
cemetery north of Keytesville Satur-
day afternoon. = Salisbury Press

A LETTER FROM AN
OLD RESIDENT

Canon City, Colo, April q, 1922.
Charlton Courier, Keytesville, Mo-
Gentlemen: l always enjoy getting
my old home paper and like to keep
in touch in this way with my old
friends of the town.
We like our home here in Canon
City, very much. 1t has an ideal
health climate and is the best little
city in Colorado. 1t is located at the
very entrance of the famous Royal
Gorge and is a fine fruit and garden
spot. The scenic attractions are
among the very best have ever
seen anywhere and l am wondering
! if you would not make some mention
of them in your paper for the benefit
of any of our old friends who might
want a good place to spend part of
their vacation. l know they would
be well pleased with what there is to
see here in the heart of the Rocky
mountains. Besides the Royal Gorge,
which is one of the grandest sights
in America, they have a very unique
drive that is called The Sky line
drive that is built on the crest of a
mountain overlooking the city and is
three miles long and was built by
the convicts from the penitentiary.
Another beautiful drive is known as
the Phantom Canon Highway be-
tween Canon City and the great Grip
lple Creek gold mining district. The
people are sure community boosters
and last year they opened a new at
traction called the Red Canons Park
and built two miles of road to the
red canons and of many pillars and
monuments scattered thru the
park.
The State I. o. o. F. home, State
EArmory and State Penitentiary are
located here and they have both hot
and cold mineral springs. The con-
victs from the Pen are worked on the
roads and are now building a mile
of cement highway just west of the
city. This is quite a coal district,
and there are fifteen mines in here,
several large industries and the only
oil fields in this state are within nine
miles distance.
We would be glad to see any of
four old friends if they should come
here. The city has two good free
Icamp grounds for tourists. Very
truly yours, Atterberry Bros.

COMMUNITY CLUB MEETING
MONDAY NIGHT

Monday night, May 9Th there will
be meeting of the Keytesville Com
|munity club at the Charlton Hotel.
It has been planned to have a feed
and as many as possibly can should
be in attendance.
This is not to be one of the old
fashioned affairs where only the Sc
lect "ring" attendance will be well
coined, but rather community get
It0-gether. 1t is most important a
Representative bunch of Keytesville
live ones be in attendance, and there
are number of important matters to
be brought up.
At this time when Keytesville is
showing real, honest-to-g goodness pep
with further chances of real activity
lit will pay the business men of the
city to tear themselves away from
their fresides for this one night.
The Courier will add that the club
is to be reorganized that night, and
a new set of officers will be selected.
Come on, now, sports. Show ye
are alive to the Importance of show
ing the outside world that Keytes-
vile has really come to life. Re-
member the date, Monday night, May
9Th.

KEYTEsvILLE BOY HELPED
IN HEROIC WORK

Hodges Ewing, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. ]. Ewing, west of town, was one
of the eight noncommissioned officers
stationed at Trinity Park from Camp
Travis, near Ft. Worth, Texas, who
are highly praised for their heroic
work during the recent floods in Tex
as. These men who stood guard lost
everything they had. The park in
which they were camping also had a
large number Of tourists and the men
rescued them from the water which
was SO deep and the current so
strong they could save nothing be-
longing to them. The Ft. Worth pa
pers gave very interesting story Of
their valuable services during this
most trying time.

WE GORDON DIED
4 WEDNESDAY MORNING

What came as a shock to the en-
tire community Wednesday morning
was when it was learned that Steve
Gordon had died at his home about
is o'clock. He had been feeling bad
at times, but had never given up to
go to bed. Saturday afternoon his
doctor told him to go home and stay

children who with his wife, four
brothers and three sisters survive.
He Joined the Methodist church
years ago where he was a consistent
and faithful member. He spent most
of his life farming until about 10
years ago, when his work on the
farm became too heavy for his in
creasing years and he moved to the
city where he has lived in the prop
erty owned by him near the Metho-
dist church. He was elected marshal
and collector about four years ago
to which office he has always been
actively interested in the welfare of
the people of this city and was at
tending to his duties in that connec-
tion when the doctor sent him home.

lly favors the American Legion's ad-
justed compensation measure, and
said: "The American Federation of
Labor believes that the men who risk
ed their lives, gave up jobs and are
now out of work should be compen-
stated. Business would be revived and
an enormous amount of money put in
to circulation, while the public at
large would be affected financially
very little if Congress passed just
taxation act"

ltion.

THE WEST ROAD DUMP
ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE

And now about these roads coming
into Keytesville, known as the west
dump roads. Somebody should be
made responsible for their condition
and they should be made safe and at
an immediate date. In their present
condition they are disgrace to any
community in the wide world. This
dump road does more to keep busi-
ness away from Keytesville than any
other one agency. 1t will be admitted
that the spring so far has not been
the kind of weather that makes good
roads, and it must be admitted that,
perhaps it would have been next to
impossible to do much repair work,
but at this time there is no excuse
under the heaven for their rotten, un-
safe condition, Of course, if someone
slips off these dumps and wrecks a
perfectly good car, or worse still,
if somebody during the aforesaid slip
off gets killed or permanently injur-
ed, those responsible for its condition
will be sorry, worried bit perhaps,
but that will not repair the damage
nor restore one crippled to health.
It's time to get busy, and the Courier
is going to attempt to find out just
who is responsible, aud then we'll tell
the world who is derelict in their
duty. To play fair on both sides of
this question the Courier will inform
the world when the road is safe.
