Eastern Colorado Times.
We haven’t time this week to
tell our readers all the good
things that is in store for you
through the columns of the East
ern Colorado Times. That this
paper will be progressive, goes
without saying. That it will
stand for all things that tend to
improve agricultural and busi
ness interests of Cheyenne coun
ty and Eastern Colorado, is a
foregone conclusion. We launch
this new enterprise under condi
tions that are most flattering.
The business men, who have
already shown such liberality
and the many who have sub
scribed for this paper are ex
pecting it to prove its worthiness
and cause for existence, and it is
up. to us to make good.

It is hardly necessary to state
that this is a very poor sample
of this newspaper so far as read
ing matter is concerned. It will
take two or three weeks to get
things in shape and we beg your
indulgence for this period. We
intend to enlarge this paper in a
few weeks and make other im
portant changes in the make-up.
If you want the real live news
of Cheyenne county, you’ll have
to take the Eastern Colorado
Times.
Have a telephone put in now;
it may be worth for five minutes
what it would cost for a year.
Good Prospects.
The immense snow fall, prac
tically all of which has soaked
into the ground, will provide
ample moisture for the raising
of every crop that will be planted
this year.
Eastern Colorado is forging
rapidly to the front as a good
farming country and the real
progressive farmers that come
from Illinois, lowa, Missoiri ard
other farming states and are set
tling on what is called our dry
farming lands, is sufficient proof
of the fact that land values this
year will advance more rapidly
than ever before. If you want
to buy a farm in Cheyenne coun
ty, you had better buy it this
year, unless you want to pay a
big advance next year.
The value of real estate is the
foundation upon which our great
commercial structures are erect d
and upon which they all depend
for maintenance, and si c :ess.
If you have idle or surplus mon
ev, buy a Cheyenne county farm.
It’s a safe bet.

(???) IS FATAL
-ill’s Whisper induces a Momentary
..Indulgence That BeCQrr.ee -Habit
and Pla/e‘Havoc.
A popular actress who was in Cleve
iind last week was telling how she
cot rid of her fa—er, embonpoint.
“After I started," she said, “1 occa
sionally Indulged myself ‘Just this
once.' T found f was not making any
progress Anyone who wants to get
thin- must beware of the 'Just this
once' habit.”
The possession of too much physi
cal substance Is a real source of mis
ery to Eoyie people, especially those
of the gentler and -lovelier sox, and
often ft Is caused and maintained by
the’bablt she mentions- la fact, "Just
this once” Is the source of half the
miseries, failures and wrecks of hu
man kind.
A bank teller gets a tip on the storflc
market. He seeß a chance to make
several thousand dollars by tho In
vestment of trfew hundred. He Is not
possessed of the required Bum. The
temptation comes to take It from the
bank's money and return It a little
later, when he has realized on the
deal. He says to himself: “Just this
once.” If he does not at once get a
Arm grip on himself, he falls. The
owner of an unseaworthy, vessel,
greedy for gain, sends It forth again
to battle with tempests, "Jjist this
once.” No port ever Bees It more.
With Its captain and crew It lies
fathoms deep until that time when
the Sea shall give up,its dead. And
widows an£ Orphans mourn op the
land and know not where to look for
succor.
"Just-this once” la the devil's whis
per. Ones heeded, the portals leading
to the under world have been entered,
lja persuasive power has filled peni
tentiaries, hospitals and Insane asy
lums. It has put crepe faces
of women *and sorrow In their hearts.
It has bowed down thy gray beads of
fathers and mothers to their graves.
He*who learns to know what “Just
once” really means and put'lts smil
ing, insidious invitation behind him
has mastered ope of, the life's most
vital,lessons. —Cleveland Leader.

to last year?”

Good Citizen.
To the good citizen of Chey
enne Wells, we dedicate the fol
lowing:
He breaks no law?, lives mo
rally, pays his honest debts and
is never tangled up in lawsuits,
But he lives of himself, by him
self and for himself only. When
a call is issued for volunteers to
take hold of the car of progre s
and give a lift, he never answers,
When calamity has befallen peo
ple in a certain locality and cha
ritable humanity flies to their
rescue, he is never ore of their
number. When money is needed
to gild the spire of public enter
prise, his name is n»ver on the
list. When he sees some neigh
bos stuck in the mud, he goes a
round to avoid him. In fact,
were he standing on the shore
and should observe the Shjgifht'
State fast sinking in the surfjf
never a life line would he throwi
He didn’t bore the hole in the
side of the vessel that lets the
water in, so it is none of his con
cern what happens. But were
all mankind made of this kind of
clay, have you ever thought what
would happen? There would be
no churches, no hospitals for the
sick, no institutions for the un
fortunate nor rest rooms for the
weary. Civilization would roam
in jungles and the strongest
would rule. He is not a good
citizen, but gets mad if you say
so.
Be progressive—have a tele
phone put in.
