The Cubs catching corps is a vet
eran aggregation. Bresnahan, Archer
and Needham are all on the shady
side of thirty. Needham has about
reached the end of his string. Bres-
nahan cannot be depended on to last
much longer as a regular duty man,
and Archer is liable to be injured at
any time.
If no young blood is fused into this
combination the Cub manager, who
ever he may be, is liable to wake up
some morning in couple of years
and find that he has catching crew
below major standard That would
be a severe blow to club which has
relied on its catching for so many
seasons.
All the other big league teams have
at least one young man to fill in. be-
hind the bat, and the Sox and Ath-
letics rely solely on kids for the re-
ceiving. Brooklyn and the Phillies al
so have comparatively young men, in
a baseball sense, behind the bat.
Clark Griffith fired his veteran re-
ceivers and put his faith in Henry
and Ainsmith. His. success attests
the value of the young fellows.
Claude Hendrix and Tom Seaton
had their first pitching duel yester-
day at Shreveport, the Pirate veteran
pitching for the regulars and defeat
ing the Blokes. He only allowed three
hits. Seaton also did a swell job, but
suffered from porous support. Score,
Z too
ZwilIing is coming to the front as
a valuable ballplayer. His former ex-
perience with the Sox, when he fail
ed to stick because he did not take
his work seriously, has had it's effects,
and he is leaving nothing to chance.
Much of the fat he formerly toted has
rolled off, and he is moving about
with commendable speed.

COLORADO aLEE CLUB

The University of Colorado G'ce
club entertained the GlenwOod peOp',
Wednesday evening at the Orpheum
theater and furnished our people an
attraction which was very much appre-
ciated.
The club was under the direct busi
ness management of Carlisle Thorsop,
a former resident of this city sll
brother of Ollie Thsrson.
The musical supervision of the club
was entirely in the hands of Prof.
Chadwick of the university faculty.
The program WIS interesting from
start to finish and our people showed
their confidence in the boys by giving
them a packed house. They were not
disappointed as almost every number
was given an encore.
The Methodist church, under whose
auspices the entertainment was given,
realized just $50 as their share of the
receipts.
The university boys will always he
given a warm welcome in GIenwood in
the future.

NOTE THE CONTRAST

Last Tuesday morning there cal'el
at the office of the Glenwood Post 4
young lady who stated that she was
working her way from Chicago to
Grand Junction where she has an aurt
residing. She asked to be given work
of some kind that she might earn i
few cents and thus make up purse
sufficient to purchase Il ticket for thn
remainder of the distance.
The work was provided and it was
executed in a very satisfactory man
ner. Then the editor asked the girl to
tell her story. She is Miss Dora Reed.
2l years Of age. Her father was a
Swede and her mother an Italian W.
man, but both are dead. About two
years ago Miss Reed went from Kansas
City to Chicago where she has since
been working as domestic.
Recently the industrial conditions IL
Chicago became so bad that many fac,
tory girls and clerks Were thrown out
of the employment which they had
been following and many of them in
yaded the homes and took up house
work, thus throwing great many
house girls into the ranks of the unem-
ployed. Miss Reed was one of this
number and as she had previously hal
some correspondence with her Grand
Junction aunt who had invited her to
come west and make her homee with
her, Miss Reed decided that this was
the time to make the western journey.
When she left Chicago she had just
seventy five cents. She adopted a
plan Of buying = railroad ticket as fa-
as she could and then working fer
money to take her farther along the
road. By this plan she has been able
to ride tie entire distance ON her owa

to this rule was At Deer Trail, Colofa-
do, where she was unsble to secure

Frank Hayes tells of novel sight
that met his eyes on his recent trip in
the Plateau valley. He saw 500 pounds
of creamery butter from the Mesa
creamery sent to various points in
Utah by parcel post. The butter was
put up in 3o-pound packages and sen,
through the Mesa postoff;ce. 1t made
the star route driver on the stage
from Mesa to DeBeque "cuss' little,
it was no use, for that butter Just hal
to go and profanity and complaints
were of no avail. Uncle Sam has gorl
into the transportation business AMI
must make good. A ranchman in tn,
community rode past the stage and
seeing the packages of butter, ex.
pressed some surprise and said to the
driver: "When they get to sending
baled hay by parcel post let me know
and I'll furnish you some business.

with very good success. She took
matters PHILOSOPHERS however, aud
remarked that if she could not earn
enough here to take to Grand Junction
she would 70 to Rifle and at the.
place try to earn sufficient funds TO
take her the rest of the journey Mis-
Reed says she has not begged cent
on the entire journey, but has paid
her way through her own honest and
legitimate efforts. She left Chicago
three weeks ago last Saturday.
The next day following Miss Reed 5
visi. here Glenwood was invaded by
a mob of men who rode on a special
train which they demanded of the rail
road company and which was furnished
them on a threat of destruction of
property if they were refused. In ad-
vance of their coming they served mo-
tice by wire on Mayor Barnes that they
would be here at q certain time and
that they expected the town to see
that they were fed. Did they offer to
pay for their feed! Did they volun-
tser to clean up the streets or work
awhile on the county roads. Not they.
Why, just look who they were! They
were the Volunteers of America, the
Coxey's army of the present Democrat
ic administration, the l. W. W. or the
Won't Work bunch of panhandlers,
and of course they had to be taken
care Of Why, to be sure they had to
be fed. 1t mattered not whether they
would turn a hand to earn a morsel,
they must be fed regardless of whether
they were willing to earn their feed
or not. There were a lot of them and
they could DEMAND and ENFORCE
attention. but little Dora Reed must
earn her way by her labor. And she
was perfectly willing to do so. She
was not complaining, but was cheerful
and satisfied with her lot. All that she
asked was chance to earn her way.
What a contrast! Think the matter
over. 1t will do you good. There
must be q lesson here for each of us.

THAT POETRY WAS
JUST 4 JOSH

A few weeks ago Mayor Barnes re
ceived letter from Mrs. Esther Fen
ton of Bellevue, Kentucky, in which
she expressed deep yearn.ng for the
Great West and man who could give
her a cozy ranch home. The letter
was read by many while pasted in tie
window of Mr.. Barnes drug store and
by great many more people when
printed in the Glenwood Post.
A copy of the paper containing the
poetic message was forwarded to the
fair widow who now writes us that the
verses were not written for publica-
tion, but more as a pleasant diversion
and sent to the mayor of Glenwood ON
a dare.
Here is letter just received from
her in explanation of the matter:

Last Thursday Mayor Barnes receiv-

the effect that trainload of the

were better to feed the men and push
them along rather than refuse and
have the town overrun with the molly

TWO ARRESTED
FOR KILLING Deer

Game Warden Frank Hayes returned
home Wednesday morning from trip
to Colibran where he arrested c. l..
Roch and T. l.. Carter and bound then,
over to the district court of Mesa
county on a charge of unlawfully kill,
ing deer.
The two men had driven together to
IA cabin in an unfrequented part of the
ont of SIGHT behind the cabin and then
they separated while in quest of deer
Apparently Carter was not successful
in his search, but there was evidence
to indicate very plainly that about two
miles from the cabin Roch had shot a
deer. After he had dressed it the two
to the wagon and had taken it 10
Roch's home.
The footprints tailed exactly in size
with Roch s shoes, the cartridge shells
found along the trail corresponded with
those found in Roch's rifle and there
were evidences of blood spots in the
wagon although these spots had besn
carefully covered with dirt.
The arrest was made with the assist
anee Of W. F. Gillum, = forest ranger
who has long been aware Of the fact
that the game law has been violated in
shameless fashion in that section. 1t
was through the report Of Mr.. Gillan
that Mr.. Hayes was able to make this
arrest and to secure such positive evil
dence against then.

TAKE ANOTHER kcfss

The city council has formed such =
hsbit for holding meetings that it's .
mighty smart week that can get past
them without some kind of a session.
Fearing they might miss q week or in
some way get out of practice they held
two meetings this week.
At the first meeting which was held
Monday evening the fun started over
discussion of the Mccoy building,
now in course of construction. City
Engineer Rosenberg started the ball
rolling by calling the attention of the
board to a letter of inquiry he had re-
ceived from the state board Of achi-
tects in reference to this budding. Mr..
Rosenberg said he did not know wheth-
er the ordinary requirements of safety
would be met since he had not been
able to see the plans and therefore
could not speak from any information
beyond hearsay. He said if the build
ing was to contain a public hall as he
had been told was the intention, both
the first and second story walls should
be l3 inches in thickness instead OF
nine inches as he had heard they We're
to be.
The building committee was instruct
ed to take the matter up with Mr..
Mccoy and see if they could ascertalo
his intentions in the matter. From the
discussion it was very evident that
Glenwood is very much in need of a
building ordinance and it is limited
that they may have one in the very
near future.
1t was said that Mr.. Keck has rentci
the Dougan building which he VIII

will be necessary for the city to ioS'<

the old Blake block, now known as the
Cedarbrook building, on Cooper avenue,
and this was referred to committee
for report later as to its fitness for Il
city hall.
At the meeting Thursday night W.
s. Parkison and J. C. Richardson ap.
peared before the board and protested
against the plan of d. W. Smart 20
erect verandas at the second and third
| floors of his building and extending
out over the sidewalk. The board de
cided against the wood verandas such
as Mr.. Smart contemplates and the
building committee was authorized TO
notify Mr.. Smart that the work cannot
proceed. The board claims that thu
affair will be unsightly, obstructiny
the view of the principal busines.
street while in addition to this it will

board decided to remove the two larc.
trees in front of the Smart propert '
and to order the pipe from the eayrs
connected with the sewer. !,

Important Ruling

The ruling is one of the most i'm
portant ever given in the local courts
and while it applies with equal force
to all criminals, it will be an ever
more effective weapon in the hands OF
the authorities in the war on bootleg
gers, as in the past many of the dc
PENDANTS have served short sentences
and then escaped payment of bot
fines and costs, amounting in some
cases to many hundreds of dollar.
These costs have been borne by tic
county in the past, but under the de
cision of Judge Cavender, the defend
ants must pay or stand the chance Of
serving an additional ninety days in
Jail.
