RED CROSS CARNIVAL SUCCESS

The carnival for the benefit of the
Red Cross, given at the golf links last
Saturday afternoon, was in every way
success, our people literally patron
izing the affair. The initiative was all
taken by the guests Of the Hotel Colo.
RADIO, Mrs. ]. h. Fesler Of Denver and
E. W. Groves, Jr., Of st. Louis, being
especially active in the arrangements,
and to them is largely due the credit
for the splendid success Of the affair.
The financial returns were especially
satisfactory and after all expenses had
been paid there remained t1,oo5.Se,
which sum was turned over TO the local
Red Cfoss chapter, and will be used in
the purchase Of war materials.

RECEPTION TO
GENERAL PAU

Last Monday evening as the Rio
Grande westbound passenger train
passed through Glenwood our people
gathered at the station in liberal num-
bers to show their respect to the
French commission visiting in this coun.
try and to meet General Pau, the grand
old French officer who has been so sig
nally honored by his own country in
recognition of his military career.
Chairman Overlook of the local Red
Cross society had impressed some good
fishermen who returned just before the
arrival of the train with some freshly
landed trout which were well packed
i'll a pretty little souvenir basket lined
with fresh cut willow twigs. This ap-
petizing token was presented to the
general by Mayor Krwan with brief
remarks appropriate to the occasion.
The Red Cross gauze workers had
gathered a mass of beautiful flowers
which they arranged in twelve nos =
gays, one for each member of the party.
The flowers were tied with ribbons IN
our national colors and the ladies wh1
presented them wore their Red Cross
uniforms Mr. Matin, French minister
of labor made brief address, thanking
the committees for the fish and flowers.
In response to Mayor Kirwan $ words
of hospitality, General Pau address I'd
the crowd, expressing the hearty thanks
and appreciation of himself and his
party for the splendid reception ten
dered him. The generals remarks
which were delivered in French. were
translated by his secretary and were
heartily cheered by the outdoor audi
ence.
A pleasing feature of the affair was
the presence at the train of l.. De
Merschman of this city, a Belgian who
has two sons fighting the battles of the
allies. He accosted General Pau and
told him in French how much he appre-
ciated his visit and how much our peo'
pie appreciated the cause for which his
boys and the French people together
are fighting. This little incident was
very pleasing to the general as it was
also to all our people present.

HIGH SCHOOL OPENS
SEPTEMBER SECOND

The Garfield County High school
will open September for registration
and classification and assignment of
work by the different departments.
Registration will take place at 9 a. m.,
and it is requested that all students
report at that time. Conflicts may be
avoided if you register on the first day
of school.
Since the president of the United
States is urging that there shall be no
lowering in the efficiency of our edu.
cational system the schools must be
maintained at whatever cost. If the
war lasts long there will be great need
in its latter days for many young men
and women Of scientific knowledge,
training and skill, and it may be than
more difficult than it is now to SUP.
port our schools, to spare our children
from other service and to permit them
to attend school
The commissioner of education at
Washington says that no school should
close its doors or shorten It's term un-
necessarily. AL ehildfen should re-
main in the school throughout it, en-
tire session.
"Ths desire to render immediate
service is praiseworthy and the spirit
which prompts It should be fostsred.
But 1t is effective service that finally
counts. Schools and school officers,
students and teachers should ever kesp
this goal in mind"

in the Republican county assembly
which met in this city last Saturday
and designated county ticket-one of
the best the party has ever put before
the people of this county.

than one candidate was named, there is
Of course some choice yet to be made
by the members of the party who will
express their choice at the primary
election to be held September 10. This
is the prerogative of our people and
right guaranteed them by the primary
laws of the state, and if they do not
avail themselves of these laws and ex-
press their choice by ballot, then they
will have only themselves to blame f
the nominations do not suit them.

 Gains among specialties, notably oils, equipment, motor subsidiaries, to- baccos and sugars, ranged from one to five points at maximums. the these were materially impaired in the general reaction of the final hour.
 The belated reversal was attributed

more especially to the heaviness of shippings. Marine preferred recording an extreme decline of six points.
 Other leaders were freely offered, while Marine was under pressure and only few unimportant gains were re- tained at the irregular close, steels and minor miscellaneous shares recording nominal losses.
 In keeping. with the recent specula- tive markets. more than half of today's trading was made up of United States Steel, Mexican Petroleum, shippings, motors and several of the more prom inent equipments, rails contributing the smallest percentage. Total sales amounted to 465, ,000 shares.
 Trading in bonds was more extensive but mostly at the expense of values, Liberty issues showing further ir- regularity on the weakness of fourth 4A's at the new low record of $95.50. Total sales par value aggregated s11, 175,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.
