"The agricultural credit corpora

That the inicreS; IN the campaign

MOUNTAIN PASSES
ARE STILL open

Colorado, justly noted the world
over for her delightful climate, can
not often boast of winter so ideal
as this one has been up to the present
time. With the nights chilly but not
unpleasant, and the mornings just
"crimpy" enough to spur a fellow on
and force him to some good exercise
which sets the blood tingling and puts
new zest into his being and prompts
him to e1cleim thst it IS real joy to
live in Colorado, Why shouldn It we all
enjoy to the limit this Colorado winter
weather?
The light snowfall of couple weeks
ago has practically disappeared, the
roads being dry and dusty in most
places, autos being driven all over the
country without chains, cattle and
horses still being pastured in the
fields, the great stacks of hay being
yet untouched, the warm rays of the
monday sun giving new life and vigor
to man and beast-and this only five
days from Christmas! Can you beat
iti
And then when we realize that the
ideal conditions which prevail in Gar.
field county are not confined to this
section but are common also to all Of
Colorado, it makes us appreciate more
than ever our good fortune. Why,
just think of it! The mountain passes
are still open and people are driving
by autos from the eastern to the west
ern boundary Of the state and vice
versa. Monarch, Cochetope and Ten.
nessee passes arc still open for travel
and are being used to some slight ex-
tent, auto drivers for the most part
however, being wary lest a snow may
block the road before they get across,
hence the travel is light. But just
think Of it Christmas is almost here
and some people are still flivvering
across the big divide just as though
1t were summer time.
