WE BELIEVE Garfield county should
be well represented at the National
Apple show in Denver in December.
The fact that the secretary of the show
does not appear to know that we aIe
on the map should not deter our fruit
growers from making q splendid fruit
exhibit from this county. If Mr.. Oliver
is from Missouri we can do the show
act to his satisfaction. By our exhibit
at the state fair at Pueblo and the
interstate fair at Denver we have al
ready demonstrated to all inquirers
that as a fruit producing section Gar
field county is among the top notchers.
Now let us repeat the dose at the apple
show. We made Delta, Montrose and
Mesa counties sit up and take noticr
at the others exhibits and we can do t
again if our fruit men will only take Il
little interest in the matter. The coun-
ty commissioners should render some
financial assistance in the matter.

CARBONDALE people are to be con
graduated on the SPLENDID showing they
made last Saturday at their first annual
Potato Day exhibit 1t was corker
and the splendid lot of potatoes on ex-
hibition proved an eye opener even to
those of US who have always had great
faith in Garfield county's wonderful
adaptability for tuber growing. If the
people of Carbondale will take that
assortment of spuis to Chicago and ex-
hibit them at the big irrigation expo
stion they will surely make great hit
and Garfield county will feel the effect
of the enterprise for many months to
come. By all means let us demonstrate
to the easternersthe possibilities Of our
soil in this particular line of agricul-
ture.

TO THOSE of us who have children
in school it is very gratifying to know
that the boys of the Glenwood high
school are making very good record
this year along the line of athletics,
but we regret that the financial sup
port has not been sufficient to take care
of the necessary expenses. The boys
are in Aspen today and next Saturday
they will contest with Grand Junction
on the local ground. 1t is to be hoped
that our citizens will be liberal with
the boys in the way of patronage and
attendance as we believe they are en-
gagged in clean athletics and should be
given greater encouragement along
these lines.

YOUNG PEOPLE rarely take good
care of themselves. They are the ones
who can eat anything, who can stay out
late and feel fine the next day. They
think they are so robust that they do
not need to take care of themselves.
And this is the reason so many folks
grow old when they should still be in
their prime; the reason, also, that many
die young. Nature is keeping books
on US and if youth wastes health and
strength the overdraft is soon apparent

FOR ONCE the Avalanche told the
truth. In its issue of Tuesday evening
of this week the scare head was as fol
lows: "The Glenwood Post Can An
swer This" Sure, brother, we can an
swer it, 1t is nut that is dead easy
to crack. And several others can an
swer "This" and all will give the same
answer as that given by the Post.

THE MAN WHO gets angry about
what newspaper prints of himself
should return thanks a dozen times each
day for what a newspaper knows of
him and suppresses. ANY fool can fnd
plenty of things to print in a newspa-
per, but it takes wise newspaper to
find things to keep out.-Arvada SUI.
