tion with the standardization program
arranged and Recommended by the stare
superintendent of public instruction.

Mr.. and Mrs. H. R. Logan and Mr..
and Mrs. C. R. Mccarthy attended tho
Stockmen's dance at the Fairview
school house in the Divide creek coun-
try last Friday night. They report
splendid attendance and the finest kind
of time while there, but oh, that bug
gy ride between points. Next time they
start over there they propose to take
snowshoes along to put under the
wheels.
| C. E. Hubbard made trip Monday
to DeBeque to inspect the work being
done by the Rifle DeBeque Oil and Gas
company of which he is secretary treas
urer. The well is down only little
more than $50 feet and progress has
been slow the past week, as a heavy
flow of water is making considerable
trouble However, the drillers predict
that they will in few days be making
their usual progress.

Miss Hetzel treated Miss Johnson,
Miss Nebel Miss Schoenherr and Mrs.
c. NJ. Stewart to waffle breakfast a:
the Commercial restaurant yesterday
morning, after which the party en-.
joyed a walk around the pool and the
grounds of the Glenwood Hot Springs
company. The sight of these ladies
on the street caused the reporter to
wonder if nurses convention was
being held in Glenwood.

R. II. Estes of Rifle was recently
hailed before justice of the peace in
that town and handed d 'ine of $3.50
and costs on a charge of bootlegging.
AS this is Estes second offense it is
thought that perhaps he has been in
vestigating the climate Of Canon City
with a view to changing his location
and making that city his home. We
observe that it is highly endorsed as a
proper habitat for bootleggers.

| The Glenwood firemen are not salts
fled with the antiquated equipment
with which they are expected to cope
with the fires that may threaten Glen
wood property at any time. Can you
blame them for wanting something bet
ter in the way of fire fighting para,
phernalia than that which has done
service in Glenwood for the past thirty
years? The Post will have more to

Tuesday morning at the high school
Prof. Bert Cross delivered an interest

first model and the various steps in the
development of the electric light, the
many substances used and discarded
for something better and the many OBJ
stacles encountered and overcome by
wizard of Menlo Park in bringing his
invention to its present high state Of
efficiency.
Rev. f. E. Tuck who has recently
suffered from an obstinate attack OF
inflammatory rheumatism, has so far
recovered that he is able again to be
about his duties, although not yet en-
tirely free from pain. However, he
hopes to be able to take his accus'
toned place in the Methodist pulpit to-
morrow. The report of his improved
condition will certainly be welcome
news to Mr.. Tuck IS many friends who
have been quite concerned about him
the past two weeks.
