Children to be Enrolled

Upon the recommendation of Mrs.
Mary c. C. Bradford, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, every
school child in Colorado likely will be-
come a member of the Junior Red
Cross. In letter to the county su-
perintendents of schools Mrs. Brad
ford urges the enrolment of every
child in the Junior organization.
Colorado already has 1916 school
children enrolled in the Junior Red
Cross. There are 1850 schools that
are Junior auxiliaries. There are ap-
proximately 100000 Juniors in the
nation. 1t is the plan of the national
officers of the Junior membership to
enroll every child and every school in
the country.
The Junior Red Cross is now en-
gagged in the most ambitious under
taking yet attempted. The members
are making chairs, tables, and other
furniture for refugee homes in France
and Belgium. Funds are now being
raised the country over to be used
in helping the thousands of destitute
children of Europe.
In her letter to the County school
superintendent Mrs. Bradford says:
81 believe the Junior Membership
of the American Red Cross to be one
of the fundamental and permanent
movements whereby the school may
serve the community and the children
in the home and school receive a prac-
tical training in citizenship. The
school has long taught the principles
of citizenship. Now it must provide
a means thru which citizenship can
function in daily lives of the chill
dren."

hour with her last Sunday.
There are eight saloons, five stores,
two hotels, five restaurants, two
meat shops, one bank, (not faro
bank), two Lodges and 173 dogs in
the town of Crested Butte. This we
think is a pretty fair showing, and if
dogs are any indication C. B. will
soon be thriving city. To-day we
have no saloons, six stores, one hotel,
three restaurants, three meat shops,
one bank, two lodges and about
double the amount of dogs as in 1851
