CIVIC CLUB NEWS.

Several ladies have inquired what

women gave their names to the sec.
rotary as members only thirty-odd
have paid the initiation fee of 81. The
club needs this money in order to
pay the prizes offered for gardens and
also to pay for setting trees. 1t may
be that some steps may be taken i'm.
mediately towards destroying the dan.
delions. If they could all be cut and
burned before going to seed next years
crop might be little less. The city
has done its part of cleaning faithfully
and II remains for the civic club to see
that some careless house keepers are
notified TO do the same.
Don't let the interest in this good
work lag. There is plenty to do, SO
let every woman who loves her home
attend the meeting and be prepared
to express her ideas and help to plan
for the future town-beautiful.

prospective settlers from these CEN
ters. For long time the farmers
sons have been grayitating TO the
manufacturing cities. They have had
their fill of that line and the high
cost of living is driving them back to
the farm again. This is our oppor-
tunity. They are looking for small
tracts where they can raise their own
living as well as make profit from
their surplus. And. nowhere is there
such an opportunity as in the Grand
valley.
Here each owner of a small tract
can do well. But he must learn the
same lesson that all of US must learn
and that is to cultivate diversity of
products. One man | know of clears
$3.50 a year from his quarter of an
acre of asapargus alone.
Grand junction is spending $780,
900 year for poultry products alone,
when she could just as well raise her
own. This is the finest poultry coun-
try in the West and that industry
would be paying proposition. And
the same is true of other branches of
ranch industry.
1T is our intention to establish
kind of agricultural college at Iona
where the settlers may De educated

agriculture, SO that all the reliable
Information gathered from the eX-
periences of most successful farmers
and fruit growers of the country may
be applied in this valley.
This year we have run four large
excursions to this valley and have
disposed of $4,000 of small tracts
and have as much more under consid-
Grafton. We expect, however. to ex-
tend our activities throughout the
entire valley and not restrict our
selves to the Iona district. A di-
versity of offerings is as advisable
when catering to the prospective pur-
chaser as a diversity of products. This
campaign will be inaugurated about
November first We will strive to
secure men who have been connected
with the manufacturing trades 30 that
by locating on suburban tracts they
will be induced to establish small
plants in the city along the lines in
which they have worked.

TOR DYNAMIC ENERGY, weh
controlled and intelligently di-
rected no better reference can
be made than to the personality and
ability of John B. Weber. the demo-
cratic candidate for county clerk and
recordar-for Mesa county.
Keen Of mind, clean cut of fea-
lures and strictly business in every
detail of life's activities Mr.. Weber
presents ideal qualifications for the
position to which he aspires and for
which Mesa county democracy rec
ommends him.
Everyone who knows him is en-
phatic in commentator of his per-
sonal character and endorsement of
his fitness for the office for which he
has been named. To know him is to
admire and respect him as man,
and the voters of this county can
make no mistake in selecting him to
direct the business of the county
clerks office.
The portrait of Mr. Weber, shown
herewith. in itself is a good exposition
of the personality of the man. Cap
ability shines forth in every Inca
ment and square dealing is stamped
on every feature.
John B. Weber was born October
IS. 1879, on a farm near Lincoln.
Nebraska, where he received high
