that no one wanted TO see q ball game,
bat they were mistaken, for paid atten-

that the third day will remain as a reg

Visitors were delighted with the show.
The weather was fine, the grandstand
comfortable, the shady campus with the
Normal in front = delightful spot.
There was something doing all the time,
for if the start Of race was delayed
then few bucking horses were put on.
And if you got tired of sitting still, you
could wander along under the shade of
the trees and visit friends. A regular

cOUcOEssAI TAYLOR VISITS
uIMsol Constituents

BEST show of the kind ever saw in
my life" stated Edward T. Taylor, Con
gressman from Colorado, Just after the
wild horse race last Thursday. Mr..
Taylor declared it carried him back to
his own ccwboy days, for his father was
a pioneer stockman of the Grand Valley
and he spent his bovhood years partly
in the saddle.
Congressman Taylor took in every bit
of the Cattlemen' S show, but went Sat
urday to the ''Neversink with Senator
Sapp, to enjoy days fishing on the
famous Gunnison. He made it two DAYS
there before the party which consisted
of himself and sons Ed and Joe, Bobby
Moore and his private secretary H. V.
High, went on to Lake City. the visit
here being part of Z trip from end to
end of his district, for Mr. Taylor makes
it point to learn the needs and wishes
of his constituents by every method
possible.
Thursday night he spent at the Colo
FduO Stdte NOTHldl WncTt lht upcIttld
of the Japanese Girl was presented.
Both Mr.. Taylor and Senator Pearson
made talks to the students and the
audience, the former especially calling
attention to the romance in the early
history of Gunnison county. which is
now rapidly slipping away from US. He
Urged the students, especially the classes
in English and Rhetoric to cOntinde the
work of putting these stories in manu-
script. for some day a novelist of power
will immortalize them by weaving q
great story, the scene to be laid in our
vicinity.
He congratuls ted the school and our
city on the magnificent state normal be
ing built up and predicted great future
for it.
Speaking to a reporter Of the world
war Congressman Taylor was very Ger.
tain that our nation would not be drawn
into it. In the first place the declaring
of war rests with congress-, and IF
know the temper of congress it vii
never declare var or mix us in this ter
rible conflict unless the whole people
rise up aDd demand it. can see M
prospect of such . catastrophe.

Naturally the horse market at the

A large force of cowboys is kept busy
