standing the fact that you may not
like them or that you may not agree
with them personally or politically. Ou
a hundred different questions you may
disagree with them but you must ad-
nit that they know when to advertise
and how to advertise effectively.
| 1.-The newspaper men of every com
munity have been in the advertising
business for from ten to thirty years
and you cannot expect the best results
from your advertising unless you recog-
mise them on your publicity committee
"Mind you l do not say this because
owe anything to the newspaper man
nor because 1 want to toady to him
for | do not have to toady to him nor
anyone else. Neither do l say this for
the benefit of the newspaper man but
for the benefit of your community and
for the benefit of the state. / am MOI
saying this in behalf of the local news
paper man because he needs a place
on your advertising committee but be
cause you need him on that commit

The speaker then made reference to
several counties of the state which ex
hibited at the big land shows this year
and again urged Garfield county to get
in line and go to these shows with their
products and a good line of literature.
He said Colorado, Notwithstanding the
many counties which made no exhibit
won three world IS prizes and 20 zone
prizes at the Columbus show, being
more than were won by any other state
exhibiting.
His board has already started work
on book descriptive of Colorado, a
considerable portion of said book to be
devoted to the mineral springs of the
state. He says everything will revolve
around Glenwood Springs. "Glenwood
has magnificent springs and splendid
hotel but the people of the east don Il
know it" declared Mr.. Patek, but he
says it will be the business of his de-
partment to help boost all of Colorado
and her unsurpassed opportunities.
He referred to the great Shoshone
power system and suggested starch
factory in the valley to utilize the
small potatoes and the large ones too
in seasons when the price is low He
says he can see many other possibiii-
ties along manufacturing lines.
Charles r. McLain of Canon City
begun his talk on the "Rainbow
Route by referring to the bill intro
duced in the Colorado legislature by
Rifles first citizen, Representative
Horace Mann, for the creation of
"Good Roads Day. He made Il
strong appeal for better roads from a
business standpoint, declaring that n
state could not better invest its money
than in highways of substantial Il
character.
