DENVER SCHOOL CHILDREN
REPORTED TO BE STARVING

An investigation by the school
authorities, says the Rocky Noun
tain News. has shown that as high
as fifty per cent of the children In
some of the schools are underfed.
and free lunch places are being pro-
vided for their benefit in connec-
ton with the schools.
The investigation brought to
light the fact that IN many homes
where both parents work during
the day. the child is given penny
with which to buy his lunch. At
some of the very cheap lunch places
near the schools they serve penny
bowls of soup. The underfed pu'
pills. 1t is claimed. are making very
slow progress in their studies.

CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

The friends of C. C. Parks of
Glenwood Springs are rejoicing over
having secured his consent to their
urgent requests for him to become a
gubernatorial candidate on the Re
publican state ticket.
Mr.. Parks served Colorado as
state auditor in 1895 and 1896. He
has long been member of the
Republican committee and his advice
has always been valued in the coun-
ellis of his party.
AS an enterprising and public
spirited citizen and business man
OF the Western Slope, he has held
constant position in the first ranks,
having come to Colorado from Illinois
in 1879. He has been a resident and
business man of Glenwood Springs
for twenty-four years.
Mr.. Parks would make satisfac-
tory governor and there is no quse-
ton but what the Republicans of the
Western Slope will do their best
in an effort to secure his nomina-
ton.
