in ground in which other coffee plants

At the next city election, which
will be held April 6, the people of
Greeley will have an opportunity to
vote by machinery. Not with the reg
ular POLITICAL machines that have
been in use for some time, but with
a new mechanical device which auto
matically registers the vote.
G. L. Hodges, an attorney from
Denver, appeared before the city
council last evening to seek the priv
ilege of placing one machine in Gree
ley on election day, to show the peo-
pie the great advantage in the new
system over the old. Mr.. Hodges
spoke for an hour, and his descrip-
tion of the machine was certainly in
teresting, and all of the aldermen
had many questions to ask. The

machine that will be sent here, ant

They are sold on the rental plan

necessary, but the county could prob

as to the efficacy of the machine

The ways and means committee
appointed to make the initial effort
toward the organization Of the Weld
county fair association held it, nrst
meeting at the Commercial club
rooms last eevning and discussed the
proposition at length.
The committee consists of the Of
ficers Of the Commercial club. the
Driving club. and the Farmers club
These organizations were represented
by Messrs. Clayton and McCrery Ol
the Commercial club, Bliss and Ma
son of the Farmers club, and Seaman
and Marsh of the Driving club. On
next Monday evening another meet
ing will be held and some definite
plan outlined. 1t is already decided
by the committee that the fair should
be held in time for the regular Colo
RADIO circuit which would mean be-
tween the first nd last Of septem-
ber, and thet the local exhibit should
be taken to the state Iair at Pueblo
and also to the interstate fair at
Denver.
Weld county now holds the prem
ium cup from the Interstate fair and
II is hoped to retain 1t for the COM
ing year as it would then belong to
Weld county permanently.
The prevalent idea seems to be
that q general maneger should be aH
polluted to take entire charge OF the
association, act as secretary, look
after the exhibits and. in fact, run
the whole thing in accordance with
the idea of board of directors.
This man would have to be en-
ployed the year round, and would
necessarily be a high priced man.

ond to none in the state, which Will

that would bring results. 1t is not Il
money making scheme. and IL at the
end of the season the stockholders
come out even, it would be all that
would be expected. To place 1t on a
