short but interesting talk.
The principal event of the after
noon was the baby show which took
place at two O'Clock. The hall was
crowded with spectators, none of
which were considered sufficiently
posted ON the prize winning points OF
babies to act as judges and so few
ladies started out to find three men
who possessed these qualifications.
Eugene Marker, of Rifle, was found
and being "A grandfather, he seemed to
meet the requirements, r. 5. Baker,
travelling man and father of several
children. was next found and having
no partiality for any baby in Garfield
county, passed the examination. Ar
thur j. Balkhouse, a handsome young
bachelor, completed the list and the
three men went to the hall, There
was considerable difficulty i'll decid-

thought it would he a snap The final
decision however, was rendered in
favor of the fifteen months old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
Lavine as being the handsomest baby
in Garfield county and the silver set,
given by Mayor William Dougan was
awarded to her. The handsomest

In the evening promptly at six

the opera house for the purpose of
initiating twenty new members into
the order This meeting, of course.
was open to members of the order
only and thev had to be promptly on
hand at the hour mentioned.
Following the initiation exercises
