ers could do more and better work in
five than in six days. As to the clair,
that the plan was necessary in order
that the boys might enter the field
as early as possible in the spring ami
thus assist the fa, ,ners in producing
more crops, Mr.. Pepper said the farm
ers had done less than their share in
the various war movements as the re-
cord showed that of all the money
raised for liberty loans, for the Red
Cross and the Y. NJ. C. A. and Y. w.
c. A. only about Is per cent had been
contributed by farmers, and he claim
ed also that some of the farmers had
not yet paid the boys and girls for
the work they did last fall.
Mr.. Underwood said the movement
was not primarily in behalf of the
farmers but was in response to an ur.
gent demand by the government that
all make every effort possible toward
the production of more food stuffs
which would be so greatly needed IN
carrying on the war DR.. Riddle ex-
Pressed himself very freely in oppo-
Sition to the six day plan, claiming q
that the nervous energy of the child
expended in an unusual effort could
not be- recovered and that oftimes
children were permanently injured by
attempt or being forced to attempt
more than they were able to accom-.
plish.
Mr.. Dickson did not believe the boys
would be needed on the farms before
the tenth of May, the date it is pro
posed to close the schools. Mrs. Over
beck and several others were opposed
to the six day program.
After very general discussion Of
the matter Mr.. Underwood stated that
he had forgotten to explain that the
school board had decided to hold
school today and to go back to the
five day week for the remainder of the
term.
1t was then that those who had spok.
en- quite freely on the subject decided
that Mr.. Underwood had played clev-
er trick on them and that they had
wasted their oratory to NO purpose.
The meeting was then adjourned.

PREPARE TO HELP
THE GOVERNMENT

Several young ladies' have decided to
prepare certain lines of work for use in
case the government may need theic
services. Miss Helen Bigham has re-
turned to Boulder and in the next
two weeks will take the examina-
tons for the past semester after which
she plans to enter the Teachers college
at Greeley to fit herself for vacancies
in this line. Miss Katherine MacRae
will also close her studies at Boulder
and take up the study of telegraphy at
Denver. A large number Of young
men have already been taken from this
line of activity and no doubt demand
will come for women to supply in these
positions. Miss Lucy Ritter decided
to discontinue her class in music in
order to perfect herself in commercial
course and went to Denver last week.

OH! YOU CUPID

George Farmer, manager of the
Farmers Milling and Power company,
is some booster as the Post has fre-
quently reminded its readers.
Georges latest plan is a movement
to boost the matrimonial game. No,
he hasn t just exactly started matri-
monal agency for he is too busy leols-
ing after the milling property, buying
wheat and making it into Yampa flour
to actively direct the mancuvers of the
love gods.
But the effect is much the same and
is in the nature of giving sympathy
and encouragement to the little binder
of tender hearts, and here is the plan
During the year 1913 he will make 8
present of a sack Of Yampa flour to
each Garfield county couple that il
married in Glenwood. Now, young fel
low, just find the girl, induce her to
participate in Glenwood wedding and
then call on George Farmer and he
will provide the wherewith for many
delicious bskings Of biscuits, pies, flap
jacks, etc.

OLE THORSON IN LINE
FOR APPOINTMENT

Although the law providing for tho
appointment of the utility commission
does not provide for bipartisan
board, Governor Gunter this morning
expressed his intention to appoint a
Republican to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of NJ H. Aylesworth.
Ollie Thorson, prominent Republi-
can politician and merchant of Glen.
wood Springs and the nominee on the
Republican ticket for state auditor at
the last state election, is prominently
mentioned as the likely appointee to
the utility commission vacancy.
Mr.. Thorson visited the governor
this morning and had long confer
ence, but the governor stated at noon
today that he had not made up his
miad as to whom he would appoint.
State Senator Herbert E. Cnrran Of
Silverton, one of the Republican lead
ers of the senate in the Twenty-first
general assembly, is also mentioned as
a candidate for the position, but under
a ruling of the attorney general that
members of the legislature are not eli
gible to state positions, Senator Cur.
rams appointment will undoubtedly be
ont of the question.
Political wiseacres of both parties
say that the appointment will be made
from either Boulder, Larimcr or Weld
county, and that a man not at this
time mentioned will receive tine ap-
pointment, though friends of former
Judge Gamble claim the latter has the
inside track.
Governor Gunter said this morning
he hoped to make the appointment
some time this week, and yesterday
afternoon Messrs. Bradley and Andcr.

"reminiscences of Col. Wolford.

LII lOOZ ne WAS CduuludIc Uc'
fore the Democratic State Con-
vention for the nomination for
the office of Clerk of the Court of
Appeals, but was defeated. The
contest however, served the pur-
pose of calling public attention
to him, and when the Eleventh
Congressional District was soon
afterwards created, the concert
ing opinion of the Democracy of
the State pointed to him as the
man to lead the party in the
fight, to place it in the Democrat
ic column.
He had an enthusiastic walk
over for two terms, but, in his
third he met his Waterloo. This
was not strange as he was never
known to write a letter to a con-
stituent during his two terms of
office.
In his second race for Con-
gress he was opposed by W. w.
Jones, then a young man.
The Democratic platform of
that year said in one clause that
the party had outlined" its
policy in previous platforms or
words to that effect. Wolford
in his hasty perusal of it Che was
not close and critical reader)
read the word outlined "out-
lived" and as he did not give it
a second reading, he entered the
canvass with that impression.
and made his speeches according.
ly. He told how in the Greedy
race, and in other contests, the
party had ignored principle fol
policy in the effort to regain po
Her, and how it had met ignomi
nious defeat; but now, he said,i
had turned its back upon polio.
and was standing as the expo
nent of great principles, and tina
victory was ahead. AS he talke'
upon this subject he waxed warn
and grandly eloquent, the boy
applauded him with shouts an
clapping of hands. 1t was tn
keynote of his canvass. Jone
was powerless to stem the swe
ling tide. In vain he attempte
to convince the crowd that Wo
, ford mis.read the platform. Wo
ford would not listen to the sug
gestion, but insisted in reply, an
usually convinced his followers
that a Republican did not kno
>either now to read or expound
Democratic platform, and tn;
it was the highest presumtion
his opponent novice in polite
to attempt to tell him or othe
what the Democracy fought
believed.

political debate with Wolfo

ever desired to get under his fire
again. To do so not only meant
to meet Woiford himself. but to
meet every man in the crowd
who stood behind him, because
they were all ready to yell for
him and in the most exasperating |
way. The man who could face
him and the boys behind him
possessed a strong nerve aud a
tough cuticle.
A few years before Wolford's
death there was a warm and
doubtful contest in this Senator
ial district and the late A. M.
Swope was sent down to rally
his political friends and demora-
lie the opposition. Swope had
visited the district before and
made a fine impression on Re-
publicans and Democrats alike.
hence, his coming was looked to
with some alarm by the Demo-
Gratis, and with great hope by his
party friends, as he was a man
of fine personal appearance and
popular address. The question
was considered in what way he
could best be met and his in
fuence neutralized. After some
conference it was agreed that the
best thing that could be done
was to put Wolford after him.
A team and driver was secured
and the "old war horse" was
directed to follow him to his ap-
pointments, ask division of
time-if he granted it, ito give
him the best in the shop, and. if
he refused a division to take
charge of the crowd when Swope
finished and "bug-rag" him to
his satisfaction.
Nothing more pleasing could
have been suggested to the "old
hero" He met him at two of
his appointments in joint debate,
and, the third day, as it was re-
ported, Swope twas not thar"
In a not very amible frame of
MUD he retired from the district
!
and Wolford returned home with
a smile of satisfaction on his face
feeling if not saying with the old
Roman, veni, vidi vici.
Wolford was full of resources
on the stump, and was always
; composed and self poised. If he
lost his balance or felt "shaky''
