little window. Mrs. Fields has been
such an efficient official that Sandy
will have to look out as democrat in
the Hotchkiss postoffice will be an
oddity. While we have lost a very

trict have been the gamer by the retir-
ing of Mrs. Field for we again have
her in our public schools where she
is without a peer. We are very well
pleased with the change as it pleases
all concerned.
After the splendid racing here
celebration day, there has been con-
siderable talk among lovers of that
sport of rebuilding the race track that
was washed out by the high waters
several years ago. We are of the opin.
ion that in the near future this will
be done even though it be a job OF
considerable magnitude. But when
these Hotchkiss boosters want any
thing, they are built just like a peo-
pie that go out and get it, as is evil
denced by our new creamery and oil
well now assured facts. Perhaps if
Germany knew of the Hotchkiss do or
die people they would consider VIII
sons note more seriously. But as to
the race track, we understand that
Paonia has quite a number of enthu-
siastic citizens that would be pleased
to see it rebuilt and would no doubt
give some support.
