They were supported by the chauf-
feur's band and in white uniforms the
colored Red Cross unit, the war relief
club, the ladies' military cadets with
rifles, Company e, Illinois reserve

contribution for the men was counted
the total was $1S8.63, or more than
four dollars for each registrant.

To have q "Cattlcmen's Day" or not
to have it, provoked much discussion

to interview the citizens Of Gunnison
and see what could be done. Last year
the celebration went nearly $500 in

and found the Gunnison merchants
willing to put up $500 in cash for
prizes for Cattlemen's Day. Also the
county commissioners agreed to add q

bers will give half the concession mon
ey derived from street faleirs.
There is one major point about the
celebration still unsettled. and that is
the date. It was at first thot to use
July 4th and 5th, but so many other
towns will have a celebration on the

in July. This will be decided upon at

not only were the business men liberal,
but the splendid bunch Of miners each

This idea of giving to the Red Cross

generally. Not but that lots Of folks
have given many times that, and can
afford to and should do it, but the
average man, whether his yearly in
