looked upon as man with keen fore
sight and wide knowledge of the oil
business and sits in council with men
who are at the head of that great in
dustry. When President Wilson in
1915 was calling upon the Captains of
industry to help him in the conduct
of the war. he selected Mark Requa
to be chief oft he fuel department,
Mr.. Requa consented to act provided
Mr.. Thos. A. ODonnell would take
charge of the oil fuel distribution,
and at the sacrifice of his own busi-
ness and patriotic duty he did consent
to do so. leaving at once for Wash
ington where he served with credit to
himself and benefit to the nation.
After the war the big oil operators
of the country formed an association
to regulate and stabalize the price OF
oil. When it came to selecting the
officers for this association. Mr..
ODonnell was called upon and hon
ored by being made the first presi-
dent. Thus it is from an humble be-
ginning as boy in Crested Butte to
the head of the great oil industry Of
the United States. Mr.. O'Donnell oc-
cupies a beautiful home in Los An
geles with his wife and two daugh-
ters. and the latchstring always
hangs out to old time friends.
Jim O'Donnell, the younger brother.
is also man of wealth in Los An
geles. accumulated out Of successful
oil operations. The daughter. who
married Andrew Lister In Crested
Butte, also lives hero engaged In the
oil business. and Mrs. O'Donnell, who
had to struggle for existence 35 years
ago in Crested Butte, is enjoying a
life Of ease and comfort here with
her children.
Yours truly.

1t is Improbable as well as wrong
to borrow your neighbor's newspaper,
as the following from the Sebree
(Ky.) Banner very clearly proves:
A man who was too stingy to sub
scribe for his home paper sent his
little boy to borrow the copy taken
by q neighbor. In his haste, the boy
ran over a 81 stand of bees and in
ten minutes looked like warty sum-
mer squash, His father ran to his
assistance, and failing to notice the
barb wire fence ran into that, cut
ting hole in his anatomy and ruin
ing S. pair Of trousers. The old
COW took advantage of the gap in the
fence and got into the corn field and
killed herself eating green corn.
Hearing a racket, the wife ran out,
upset four-gallon churn- full of
cream into basket of little chick
ems. drowning the entire hatch. In
her haste she dropped $35 set of
false teeth. The baby. having been
left alone. ruined brand-new $25
carpet. During the excitement the
oldest daughter ran away with the
hired man. the dog broke up II set
ting hens and the calves got out and
chewed the tails Of four fine shirts
on the clothes line.

Mr.. Editor: ~
am going to write of men whom
knew in Gunnison County in. the boom
days of the s0s, who have since gone
out and made a success in a business
and financial way l am not going
to write about the unsuccessful ones
or those who have made a failure in
life. No one wants to hear about that
class. Nothing succeeds like sue
cess" and man may make fortune
and lose it. then he is no good. 1t is
not always the men with the best
ability that make the most money.
Oftentimes the best business man is
working for the man with less busi-
ness ability and more money.
There is one little thing that enters
into the success or failure of the
most of US in life. That is opportu-
nifty. If we fail to grab tho life line
OF opportunity when 1t passes. we
may be doomed to the turbulent
oblivion of servitude to our fellow
man. and pass out of the world un-
known. whereas if otherwise, and we
succeed in securing fortune through
some opportune wave that may pass

TO Educate Disabled
Soldiers and Pay Them
While Being Trained

Washington, Feb. 20.-A call is
being sent out by the Federal Board
of Vocational Education at Wash
ington, to patriotic individuals all
over the country asking assistance
in getting the Board in touch with
returned soldiers who have been
disabled, but who are making an
attempt to work at some occupa-
ton, and are not succeeding well.
The Federal Board offers to these
men the choice of over 400 trades,
occupations and callings from which
to select one, and in which the
Board will make the student pro-
ficient. He will be allowed S65 a
month support while in training. If
he is married and has children,
there will be allowed $50 month
for his wife and $40 month for
each additional child up to three.
All expenses incident to the course
of training are paid by the Federal
Board. When he has finished and
is pronounced competent, there
will have been found for him a
position in that line for which he
has been re-educated, and prefer
ably in or near his former home.

HEALTH OF SERBS
GOOD, IS REPORT
Few Gases of Typhus OF
Even Influenza-Red
Cross Active

Nish, Serbia, Feb. 20.-The health
of the population of Serbia is sur
prisingly, good. There have been
few cases of the dreaded typhus or
even of influenza. In both the mill
tary and civil hospitals the work OF
Serbian doctors, whose number
since the war began has been re-
duced by more than half is being
supplemented by British, French
and American physicians.
The American Red Cross has hos
pitfalls at Uskub and Monastir and
will establish others in Northern
Serbia if required. There are Red
Cross doctors and dentists at Nish,
Belgrade and other points.
In the Monastir district there is
special Red Cross mission for the
purpose of training Serbian peas
ants in American farming methods
and encouraging them to use mod
ern agricultural machinery.
The weather is extremely cold
and fuel is very scarce. The Aus
trians and Bulgarians deliberately
wrecked entire buildings in order to
make firewood of the flooring and
window frames. There is scarcely
any petrol in the country and ordi-
mary kerosene is selling at So a
quart. The country's coal mines
cannot be worked because most Of
the miners are still in the army.
Railroads and highways are in a
lamentable condition and present
many obstacles to the task of get
ting relief supplies to the interior.

France Is Building
Fleet of Cement Ships;
Launches First One

Paris, Feb 20.-The Comafran !.
which has just been launched on
the Seine, is the first of what is eX-
pected to be large fleet of cement
ships to be in France this spring,
mainly to carry coal from England.
These ships are of q standard type
of about 1000 tons displacement
and the French are proud of the
fact that all the material used in
the construction of this first unit
of their new cement fleet was pro-
duced in France. The Comafran
is French built throughout down to
the smallest detail. The steel used
in the construction framework was
scrap metal from the battlefields.
The vessel was launched stem
first, said to be the first time this
has been accomplished with a ce-
ment ship of this tonnage. Many
French shipbuilding experts had eX-
pressed fears of mishaps, but moth
ing untoward occurred.

Physical Education
Being Required as
Result of World War

Washington, Feb. 20.-A quick
ened appreciation in all nations of
the value of physical education has
resulted from the war. according to
DIR. P. P. Claxton, Commissioner of
the Bureau of Education, and has
been evidenced in this country by
the enactment of laws in eight
states requiring physical training in
the public schools.
Illinois was the first of the Amer
lean states to require physical train
ing by statute. passing the law in
June, 1915. Since that time New
York, New Jersey, Nevada, Rhode
Island, California, Maryland and
Delaware have enacted similar laws
and six other states, Massachusetts
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Nebras
ka, Ohio and Colorado, have giveI
legislative attention to the subjec
| but have not acted.
