PARLIN SCHOOL HOUSE
WILL BE BUILT
- - - g..

The state tax commission, upon APP
plication of county clerk Barrett and
the directors of the district No. 3 at
Parlin, have reconsidered the refusa
to allow the district to levy tax suf-
ficient for new school house, and
have granted permission to raise
$4,000 for such purpose. District
No.2 will now go ahead with the build
ing. which is much needed at a central
point near the store and station.
However, the tax commission turned
down the application of the commits
sioners to include the Smith Anthra-
cite branch of the Rio Grande in Dis
trict No. 8. They included the Flores
Ia branch of some ten miles, but for
some unknown reason have refused
to sustain similar request on the ab-
joining branch. Another year the
same proposition will be put up to that
body, stronger than before if neces-
sary. Crested Butte and the county 4
entitled to this extra valuation.

on what the Liberty Loan is and how
we could do our bit for the government
by buying bond. He explained the
main phases of it and aroused a great
deal of sentiment among the students.
Many expressed their wish that there
were more people to stir the public

Foot Ball Activities at {. 5. y. S.

Norma, N.w- Letter.
The boys are bong coached this
sra-ou, by Mr. 4. +. Brrkstr5scr, who
for Tho past four y,ar- ha- been coach
ing IN the Iowa State Teachers Col
inspired the boys with confidence,
courag". and cuthu ,Ia,m for the game.
Mr. Jcncks, who vas one Of the last
years coaches. has the business men
Of the town in training; they plan to
give the boys tryout Friday, October
20, to pu, them in good trim for their
first game.
1t is hard for the coach to match
games with the other schools, because
the draft law has taken SO many men
out Of the country that a great num-
Der of boys have had to remain at
home to help harvest the fruit and pO-
tato crop.
However, Mr.. Berkstrcsscr was sue
cessful in matching two games with
Grand junction. The first one is to
be staged on their field on October %,
during teachers convention: the other
one will be played al Gunnison on
November Il. Negotiations are under
way for games with Rife and Olathe.
Balm is playing his old position, as
center. Dickcrson, Raccy, Starks,
Kroll, and Wilson are tackles. Wclch,
and Wright are working out for end
positions. Hazelhurst, who is a sterl-
ing example of field general, is
quarterback. Zugelder and Nichols
are showing up fine at halfback. Mil
Ter, whose deadly punts have gained
for him the title, "the boy with the
educated toe" is playing fullback.
Our team consists Of nearly all the
last year players. The few new ones
among them are showing up well. AS
4 whole, the team is a unit with no
weakness, and shows rather unusual
combination of football knowledge
and fighting spirit, for the short time
in which they have had to train.
We have the coach; we have the
men; we have the spirit. Come on!
Give US the games, and we will take
the score.

No News From The Soldier
Means That he is All
Right

Altho the failure to receive
letters from men in the service
is not pleasant to relatives and
friends at home the adage mo
news is good news" never was
more true than at present. The
report of every casualty at home
or abroad is Immediately wired
or cabled to officials at Washing
ton, being relayed from there
without loss of time to the emer-
gency address of the soldier or
sailor affected. 1t is also at once
released for publication in the
newspapers. No news of
casualties has or will be held up.
No man in the service has re-
ceived orders to write home; he
has been urged, on the contrary,
to keep in touch with relatives
and friends. The forces in France
have at their disposal post
cards giving general information
in regard to health and the re-
ceipt of letters and parcels,
which may be dispatched with
out payment of postage.
Care is also taken to see that
mail intended for soldiers and
sailors reaches them promptly
Where the regimental and COM
