HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Glenwood scored great triumph by
defeating Aspen 1919. It was an in
teresting game, being featured by long
shots and clever team work. Coach
Sims is the man responsible for Glen
wood IS victory. He drilled the Glen
wood boys into unit-a playing unit,
as impregnable as the rock of Gibralter.
Alex and Douglas played their usual
dependable steady game. Malaby and
Hammond played hundred per cent
better than they did in Leadville.
Brady at center was real star; all
over the floor at once, fast and accur-
ate, he scored 10 points.
The girls were defeated 24-5. All
played a good game.
The largest crowd of the season was
in attendance. Our special train left
Aspen at 1890 and arrived in Glenwool
on schedule time. Our next game at
home will be real thriller with Colo
RADIO Springs on February 16.
Warren Hollingsworth has returned

A new edition of international En-
eyclopedias has been added to our Ii

garding all subjects of interest to the

DR.. Cook, the state high school In
spector, spent the entire day at the
high school Tuesday, observing the
work and giving tests. It was source
Of great satisfaction to the student body
and the faculty that DR.. Cook gave us
the assurance that we should be placed
0n the accredited list Of the North
central association without criticism
for the coming year. Our school ha'
been placed on this list every year fol
the past six years. But on only one
previous occasion has it been without
criticism.
In the typewriting test, Genevieve
Dickson won first place with rate Of
161 movements and a grade Of "a or
accuracy. This is 26 per cent above
standard for pupils having 100 lessons
Helen Patterson, Claude Wyatt, Glady'
MacRae, Rosslee Coulter, Sadie Wie'

LIVE STOCK GAIN Is
LARGE IN STATE

The value of the livestock on the
farms in Colorado increased $31 1852, 800
in 1917, almost 25 per cent. On Jan. l.
1918, the total value of all the live.
597 900.
There was greater increase in the
value of the animals than in the nun
Der. The number of sheep increased
10000 animals, but the money value Of
the sheep showed an advance of $1l,.
65s,600. Each Of the 1,s50,O00 sheep in
the state year ago advanced in price
from $3.50 per head to $3.50, which
was 6s per cent advance.
Horses increased $4,000 in number
and $3,363,ooo in value, although they
advanced only q per head. Cows in
creased $1,000 in number and 50, ,40S,5 SOC
in value. Mules remained almost sta
tionary, the year closing with 1900
more and the whole number worth
$312, 900 increase over Jan. l, 1917.
The cattle statement was very favor
able-72,O0O increase in number and
0,214, 400 increase in value during the
year.
The government report for Colorado
issued recently, reveals very surpris
ing condition in swine husbandry. Or
the first of January there were only
356 900 head on the farms in the whole
state, an increase during the year OF
1000 animals, although the price Of
each had advanced from $12 to 500 pei
head. In the whole United States the
number of hogs increased 3,s71 ,o0C
head, and it is evident that Colorado
breeders failed to raise their pro rata
or, tempted by the high prices, sold too
many.
At this time the country has only
seven-tenths of a pig for each inhabi.
ant, and the porkless days ordered by
the food administration can be appre
eiated as necessary.
That the number of horses in the
United States should increase by 353, ,O0t
in spite of the heavy demand for wa
use and for farm use was a matter O.
surprise to breeders and dealers. There
are on the farms and ranches of th'
country 81 $500 horses, and the aver
age advance per head in twelve month
was $1.39 per head, while the advance
in Colorado was 81 per head. Colorado
horses average at $97, while all tn
horses in the country average $l04.2s
Cattle increased by 1851 900, an
$4.96 per head, the total number bein'
43, SAG 900 in the whole country, whic
is 1851, 900 more than there were fiy
years ago.
Sheep decreased nearly 1000 in tn
last five years, but increased 1,2s4,0o
in the year 1917. Their value wa
$793, ,160, 900 year ago and now ar
worth 81 1,s92506,o 900, an increase o
$599, $4,000 in twelve months, whic
accounts for the very high degree Q
prosperity in the sheep country.

e7et Of the death at Camp Funston
last week Of George Bailey, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. T. E. Bailey Of Grand Valley.
The yonug man was operated for ap-
pendicitis and was recovering nicely
when he was attacked by pneumonia,
with fatal result. The body was sent
to the home of his parents at Grand
Valley where a military. funeral was
held last Tuesday.
The county commissioners have been
in session since Tuesday morning, their
principal concern being to make some
absolutely necessary repairs on
bridges, culverts and roads in order
that the county may be saved great ex.
psnse in rebuilding in case of damage
by high water. An ounce of preven-
ton is sometimes worth more than a
pound Of cure, and this is the theory
on which some of their expenditures
will be made. See advertisement in
this issue for bids on some work that
is considered very important at this
time.

RED CROSS SHIPMENT

Shipment of supplies to Red Cross
week by the Glenwood chapter and to
those of us who still retain the elements
of human love and sympathy there is n
deeply touching sensation comes over
one when viewing the perfectly wrought
garments, the many dozens of pack
ings and bandages the women of our
town are completing from day to day
to 90 over seas for those Of our brave
american lads, be they fathers, hus-
bands, brothers, who may sometime be
| in sad need of such human agencies,
but intermingled with the depression
is the admiration for the home workers
who are SO nobly striving to lessen the
dark conditions of war.
Following is an extract from letter
in regard to a former shipment and a
list Of the last consignment:
"Your shipment of surgical dressings,
operating room linen, patients cloth
ing and knitted garments inspected in
our warehouse on December 21st has
been found satisfactory and the work
pronounced excellent.
It gives me pleasure to make this re.
port and wish you would convey to
your workers my congratulations on
the high character Of their work.

Obituary, Carl Warren.

Carl Warren, known and beloved
throughout Polk county, passed
away at the home of his parents Mr.
and Mrs. Lewis Warren at West Val
ley, Sunday evening October 10, 1913,
following a brief illness with pneu-
monia.
Carl Warren was born March 2S
1898. He grew to manhood on his
fathers farm and then became an
employee of the S. I. Shops in SaH
Antonio, Texas. He worked for this
firm for seven years, each year max
ing an advance in his position until
he acquired a high and trusted place
with the company.
On the End of April he was united
in marriage to Miss Myrtle Higgins,
the beautiful and accomplished
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. II. Hig-
gins Of San Antonio, Tex. He and
his six months bride had come
home for a few days pleasure and
visit but they had no sooner arrived,
when they were both stricken with
the Spanish influenza. The wife has
recovered sufficiently to return to
her home in Texas.
The remains Of the deceased were
inferred at the Bulger cemetery.
Rev Hornsby, pastor Of the Mis-
sionary Baptist church at Liberty
conducted the funeral services,
speaking words of comfort and con
ISOLATION to the sorrowing hearts.
The word flew over the community
as on wings of wind. Wherever It
touched, it left sorrow, and the ex-
pressions Of sympathy for the be-
bereaved ones were many and from
the heart.
Bright, happy and cheerful, Carl
carried sunshine with him where
ever he went and was olved by every
one who knew him. He always had
smile and pleasant word for his
friends.
HIS death comes as dark shadow
to his relatives and many friends
both here and in San Antonio. Texas,
Mr. Warren leaves to mourn his
loss, a wife, father, mother and five
brothers.
We have lost our darling loved one.
he has bid us all adieu,
he has gone to live in Heaven,
And his form is lost to view.
On that dear one how we loved him,
Oh how hard to give him up,
But an angel came down for him
And removed him from our flock.
