Coolidge or chaos-the answer is

We Came, We Saw,
We Had A Good Time

One Of the things we enjoy about a
celebration of any kind. especially the
Cattlemen's Day doings, is the "get-
together" spirit of the crowd. Sit
ting up on the grand stand with the
rest Of 'em, il was interesting to
watch the people as they entered the
enclosure and started hunting for n
seat. You found a new interest in one
and all. Almost the first thing YOU
did while looking 'em over was to see
which of your feminine acquaintances
had lately fallen victim to the bobbec
hair craze. Then there were the new
hats and dresses, and likewise those
that We're not new, just made over,
and looking rs good as new" at
pops into your head: why! that's the
same dress she wore last year." then
You suddenly recall with a guilty feel
ing that you have on the same sport
skirt you "sported" ut last last cele.
bration. But most interesting of all.
among the spectators, was the crop
of new babies, some of 'em 1923 and
1924 models-a whole crop of future
cowpunchers and cowpuncheresscs.
Looking at the loveable little tots.
we wondered why some one didn't
have pep enough to suggest baby
show during the celebration.
And of course. the latest married
couples were there, oh, 70 loving, and
trying to act so unconscious. The man
with the large family always hands
us laugh, altho We feel sorry for
him. too. For with several young
hopefuls hanging onto him and each
one demanding balloon, an ice cream
cone, bottle of pop. and something
Of everything else, it looked like n
bum deal for dad.
Lots of funny things happen in a
crowd-some of 'em funny. The guy
who spilled pop down our shoulder
will never get our vote. no stree!
The smiling face of Charley Adams
was among those present; likewise
Mrs. Adams. Anything going on in
the "old home town." and Mr.. Adams
is Johnny on the spot" or should we
say Charley on the spot 7"
And such Misunderstanding as the
Purifiers got. II didn't seem as tho
fifteen or more years have elapsed
since Mr.. and Mrs. Purrier were in
our midst. All the way from Cali
fornia they came.
Likewise from the coast were Mr..
and Mrs. Eugene McGregor and son.
1--WE are going to stay 'home.'" said
Mrs. McGregor to friend "And
am glad to get back"
We didn't get to see Geo. Crylie and
wife Of Salida, but they were in the
crowd. Mrs. Crylie coming from Long
Beach for visit with home folks.
Mrs. Crylie's brother, Walter Parlin,
and wife were also over from Lead
vile. Walter used to be first-rate
broncho buster, but of late has taken
to railroading.
We nearly wore out perfectly good
arm shaking hands with friends we
had not seen for many moon; we
enjoyed the crowd. the Stunts" the
cowboys, the babies, the pop, the ice
cream cones, the pop corn, the peanuts
and the whole works. We're sorry
it's all over. but we had good time
while II lasted.

LINE OR so
FROM WALLY DOUGH
tBy Wall Dough-


like the town of Gunnison.
It's nice in many ways
Just suits the guy with rod and gun
To spend vacation days.
In hottest summer, at this place.
You need two quilts at night;
But when Old Sol displays his face
It's warm enough. all right
The mountains stick up all around
And fence the world away;
A finer place could not be found
To work awhile or play.
The streets are wide and ripping
streams
Go bubbling down beside;
You almost think you're having
dreams,
When first the place you spied.
And what place for bach'lor guys!
There's school ma'ams here galore;
II lonesome fellcrs use their eyes
They won't be so no more.
We've just begun-and should be
done
Perhaps some time again
Well have some leisure, just for fun,
And spiel more with our pen.

cts and fixed stars. He has striking
theories about the moon and stars
which he will elucidate in his talks.
A. given in the Monthly Evening
Sky Map his theory is that rings in
trees, teeth, bone, horns, reefs and
coral island reefs are records of
organic growth, and that what we see
on the moons surface is really the
bed Of ancient seas, in which coral
atolls were formed by lime accretions.
