There are any number of disgusting
sights along Mouse river, right in the
heart of the city. Refuse of all kinds
has been thrown out on the bank and
on the ice and number Of outbuild-
ings have been built close to the edge
of the river. We believe that this is a
good time for our health officer to
make the rounds and see that the or
dinances are enforced without fear or
favor. Let's keep the banks of our
river clean.

RURAL SCHOOLS CONFERENCE

County Superintendent of Schools,
Mrs. Westerman returned Monday
morning from Denver where she at
tended. the Rural School conference
held under the auspices of the United
states Bureau of Education and under
the direction of DR.. J. l.. McBriem,
school extension agent of that depart
mcnt.
The Commissioner of Education, i.
p. Glaxton, through the bureau of edI-
cation is waging nation wide carr
paIgn for better rural schools and the
Improvement of country life. A read
justment and reformation of the course
of study for rural schools as will adapt
them to the needs of rural life; high
school education for country boys aud
girls without severing home ties in OBJ
tanning it; adequately trained teachers
for their work in rural schools and rural
leadership.
These conferences are being held in
different parts of the U. S. so as to
enable the department to get hold of
the problems and conditions in the diff
fercnt sections of the country.
Delegates from Utah, Wyoming, Ne
braska, New Mexico and Colorado were
present at this meeting and rural school
problems were discussed from every
standpoint.
On Friday evening the conference
was addressed by Jane Adams of HUI!
House, Chicago. Miss Addams is now
serving the National Food Campaign
under Hoover.
The nation now feels that the oil
idea of rural school being little
building on little piece of ground
with little teacher at little salary
to teach little children little things,
must be outgrown and that the coun-
try boys and girls should have as good
advantages as their city cousins, and
that state and national aid should be
made a part Of the government.

RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP

On December II the Red Cross mem
bership campaign will open all over the
country. Fifteen million new members
are wanted by Christmas eve. This
means that number of new workers
added to those faithful ones who have
been doing their utmost in the months
past. At conference in Washington
the suggestion of "Christmas Service
Flag in the window during Christmas
week was enthusiastically received.
This flag should be of paper and with
a lighted candle behind it
AS the family with the man at the
front is proud, so should the Red Cross
worker feel proud of the support given
at home, and there is no doubt but what
this service flag in the window during
the Christmas week will help the work
from without, and also that every men,
Der of the household within will want
to have his Red Cross emplanted upon
the banner too.

LOOK FOR THE HOLY CROSS

The majority of tourists on the Rio
Frande do not see the Mount of the
Holy Cross because they do not know
iust when to look. Going east from
ilenwool the top is visible from
righthani window about two miles east
Of Minturn, looking NJ the val ey of
Cross creek. Here two peaks are vis-
BILE, the one to the west being Mount
Jackson.
A better view, and one which in.
;ludes the upper part of the cross,
above the arms, is had after leaving
Red Cliff. AS the train emerges from
the canon. Just before reaching the
Pando ranger station, it is necessary
to look quickly almost directly back
from righthand window. Notch
mountain is dintinguishable by the
notch in the skyline, and just to the
right Holy Cross mountain protrudes.
From November to May the snow of
the cross is not SO conspicuous on ac-
count Of snow elsewhere in patches.
The better view is in the summer, par
.icularly in July.

@u vice, who was IN
~ ulenwood Springs
HSO oS this week, went to
W.. H Tenne ssee Pass
o " ss while here in com
pany with Super
visor French and walked the greater
part of the way from the pass to Min.
turn. This trip was made in the inter
est of placing read signs along the Lin
;oln highway through the Holy Cross
National forest for the convenience and
direction Of travellers.
The U. S. Forest service for some
time has been following the policy Of
placing signs on all roads and trails
in the forests in order that the travel
ing public may be supplied with in
formation as to directions, distances and
locations, thus making it safe for
strangers to the country to leave the
regular routes of travel and make trips
into the interior of the forests with
perfect assurance that they will, not
get lost. This work is progressing as
rapidly as the availability of funds
will permit.
The road and trail signs put up by
the Forest service must come up to n
set standard of construction and fin
ish. To establish authenticity there
appears on each sign the emblem or
shield of the U. s. Forest service, cut
of which heads this item. When this
emblem appears on sign, you may be
sure that considerable effort has been
devoted by local forest officers to the
business of making the information
thereon as accurate as possible.
This work of the Forest service is
without doubt commendable. We are
just beginning to realize that our na-
tional forests offer unlimited recreation
grounds along with our national parks
to the public and their posting with
neat, trustworthy and instructive signs
will find them ready for the ever in
creasing stream of travellers that FREE
qnent them each year.
