MISS c. MARSH BANKS, AssocI.
ATE EDITOR OF COLORADO
TIMES DESERVES CREDIT.

Since the illness of NJ B. Brooks,
the editor and manager of the Colo
RADIO Times, which is extending now
into the seventh week, we have no
uced his paper appearing as prompt
and interesting as usual, for which
the associate editor, Miss G. Marsh
banks, a young woman, born reared
and almost completely educated in
this state. must receive the credit.
There are but few women of her age
who possess her ability and all that
is necessary to make successful
business women are common to her
and especially noticeable is her at
uactive disposition and the smile she
carries for everyone who may enter
the office, even on the busiest days,
which have been many since the ed
itor's illness. There is probably no
young lady more popular or widely
known throughout the state than this
small editoress, not only for her serv-
ice to the paper, but because of some
strong political articles and also her
stories and poems have attracted at
tention because of their appearance in
popular magazines.
Mr.. Brooks is favored BY having
such talent, education and culture in
his Office that has so far proven to
he equal to pressing emergencies.
