A very bright and interesting letter
written by Rhodabelle Beardsley at
San Diego tells of her many sight
seeing trips, of boat rides, the flight of
war areoplanes and especially of her
excellent work in school. Rhodabelle
has been staying with Mrs. Lill, wife
of Capt. Joe G. Lii, who was stationed
here last summer. A fine baby boy
came to their home the latter part of
December.
At the meeting held in Glenwood
last Saturday of the stock committee
appointed to purchase registered bulls
for the Garfield county stockmen it
was found that more than sixty bulls
have already been ordered through this
committee. It is believed that this
movement will become quite popular
and will result in better bulls for our
ranges and at prices less than hereto
fore paid for inferior animals.
