MILK PRICES K1TED

Glenwood has been especially fortu-
nate in that our m.llsmen have been
very slow in doing that which in other
places all over the land was done sever
the fixing Of the retail price Of milk
at figure somewhat Commensurate
with the price of feed help etc.
Last Monday, December 10, was the
day fixed for putting the new schedule
into effect. 1t surely seems great
hardship to pay 15 cents straight for
each quart Of milk consumed by the
family especially when we remember
the old rate of 20 and % quarts for 4
dollar which obtained several years
ago. But we must also remember that
those were the days when we bought
butter for 15 to 20 cents a pound, and
when the dairyman bought hay for six
to seven dollars ton, and bran and
other feeds accordingly.
anyway the Glenwood dalrymen nave
all raised the price of their product as
per the above statement, and we are
at liberty to pay it or quit using milk,
and we can't afford to do either the
one or the other. But Glenwood should
not have been surprised at this action
of the dairymen for all over the east
and south, milk has brought higher
price than. Glenwoodities are now OBJ
conditions under which the dairymen
have been operating there is little won
der that milk prices have been raised.
The real wonder is that the advance
did not come sooner.

A TALE OF A CHRISTMAS EVE
Told by a Christmas stocking.

Told by Christmas stocking.
1t was long past midnight and the
stocking began to get angry. "To be
taken out of a nice comfortable
drawer" It said, "and strung up here
like common thing; upon my word,
t's too bad.'
"I miss my mate" said the stock
ing, glancing at a pair Of sleeping
stockings lying folded over the back
of = chair. "It's downright monotonns
to take one stocking out Of the drawer
and leave the other. If 1 worked for
a one legged child it would be differ.
ent."
Scarcely had it stopped speaking
when it heard noise in the chimney.
Looking in that direction the stocking
was amazed to see little old man with
a white beard, dressed in rod.
Now this 'le man was no other
than Father Christmas, Advancing to
bed and seeing the stocking he said
to himself, "this Is the only night IN
the year that the bed has stocking
at the foot"
Putting his hand on the stocking
he said aloud. "wsll, Mister woole,
RIBS, how do you find yourself to-
nighti"
The stocking was % amazed he could
not find words to say anything but

"ohi IN soon warm you up" said
Father Christmas. And reeehing int
his bag he began drawing out all man.

examining them into the stocking.

BELLS.

Joe rose from under the water and
shook the water out of his eyes and
looked around. Suddenly white head
rose from the water and started for
him. 1t was his white dog, Bells.
They both started for a small mound
about three feet out Of the water.
This was not the first time Joe's
boat had turned over with him, but this
time it was different for a storm was
coming.
Soon it began to rain and the wind
blew and the water rose until it was
over his knees. Pretty soon he said to
Bells, "Bells, you have been good
dog, and when I say Ego home" you
go home, understand
Fifteen minutes passed and Joe told
Bells to 60 home. The dog knew the
way and he started. After Bells was
out Of sight Joe started home. 1t was
a long swim and he knew he could not
make it but he wanted to die nearer
home than where he was.
He kept wondering who would take
care of Bells. Joe had . brother named
Don, and he thought Don would take
Bells in.
Pretty soon he began to get tired
and he knew he would go down soon.
The wind kept saying "Now-Now' -
and the wave said "pretty soon' and
Joe kept saying to himself "not yet. "
Pretty soon he went down, rose again
and then he saw . black object in
front Of him and then all was black.
When he came to he was lying on
his brothers. couch and Bells was on
the other side Of tho room. Joe asked
Don how it happened and Don sa!d,
Bells came to my house and coaxed me
down to the lake. knew what was the
matter right away and got my largest
row boat and started out to find you.
I found you just ~ you were going

UNION HEADS SNuB
STATE COMMISSION

Denver, Dec. 17.-With the refusal
yesterday Of Robert Foster, interna-
tional representative Of the United
Workers of America and Walter Pr
pin, member, to answer questions of
the state industrial commission in con-
nectiOn with alleged discrimination
against miner who went on strike
November l, members of the state body
took action looking to the issuance of
a court order to compel them to reply.
Application before the state District
court here for an attachment citing
the two men to appear and show
reason why they should not be held
in contempt may be made today by
Secretary H. E. Curran Of the com
mission and Attorney General Victor
f. Keyes.
Following the refusal of the union
men yesterday the commission ad-
journed until Friday morning. The
case, which involves alleged discrim-
nation by the Rapson Coal Mine
company, located near Agullar,
against Frank sesko, miner who
went on strike Nov. l, covered a
hearing Of two days beginning Dec.
l and later resulted In hearinRs BY
the commission at WalsenburR and
Trinidad
Seventy five miners ars said to
have left their work last Thursday
because W. W. Curtis, the owner,
would not reinstate sesko. The mine
is one with which the union has an
agreement, it is said, and on leaving
their work the men claimed . viola.
ton of the agreement, later charging
discrimination.
The refusal made by Mr.. Pippin wa.
on the ground that tho commission
had no authority in the case and that
it was one which should be submitted
to United States Attorney General A
Mitchell Palmer, stating that "thi,
grievance has arisen over the refusa
of Mr.. Curtis to place man back O,
his job after a strike. We are in
formed BY the attorney general, Mr.
Palmer, that in all such cases all evi
denee should be submitted to hir

MY FIRST TRIP IN AN AERoP1ANz

, l had always wished for an opportun.
ity to go up in an aeroplane but my
dream was finally realized when Bob,
a friend of mine, who was an aviator
agreed to take me on flight.
We left home at one O'Clock p. M.
and circled above town until We
reached the proper height to start on
our tr.p.
It was very cold so high up in the
air but L was prepared to meet this
condition; with extra heavy clothing.
After travelling few minutes I
looked down and saw we were over
some small village, at least it looked
small from that distance. Everyone
was standing with their mouths wide
open, looking up at us. But we were
going full speed and did not tarry long
over that place.
The next place we went over we let
the machine drop just safe distance
above the town. Horses rared, farmers
stopped their work and everyone got
out on the streets to look at Bob's
aeroplane.
After about two hours flight we
reached Denver, where we decided to
land.
The landing jolted us up a little but
we felt fine, after our airy flight.
We went to my cousin Helen 8 and
as she was just getting ready to 20
to a matinee Bob and decided to 20
along.
After seeing "wild and woody"
picture and having a dish of ice cream
we felt in the best of spirits for our
journey homeward.
II was just three forty five and we
decided by making good time we could
reach Glenwood in time for dinner.
The trip back was not as interesting
as that coming, but probably because I
was tired and not so excited as when
we started.
The plane was nearing home and
was really glad although I had had
very pleasant trip.
Presently-Bang! the aeroplane had
reached the ground with an awful
thud and I awoke.
I had fallen asleep while reading
The Second Flight Of the Aeroplane
Girls.'
was real disappointed but decided
had better be glad for even having
such an interesting dream.

THE LOST TRAIL

One snowy afternoon Dick and Bob
Rogers started out on six mile walk
to sec their traps, for the season was
the best for several years.
Bob was much the younger of the
two and was very timid about going
along the lonely mountain trails by
which they went to see their traps.
Dick" said he, "let's give up the
trip today, it's much too snowy and
besides we might lose our way" "Oh,
you're afraid, are you, Bob,' said
Dick, ~ didn' know you were such
fraid-cat. III go by myself thou,
rather than take you along.'
"Well, III go then if you think I'm
'fraid-cat, Dick Rogers, and if any.
thing happens it won't be my fault, "
said Bob. So they started right after
they had finished their breakfast.
The snow came down in flurries,
whirling and blowing the already fal-
len snow over the trail and the boys
soon discovered that they had lost thoir
. way. They started to go back but found
that they could not 60 in that direc.

finally discovered little gray cot

bdshes which were covered with snow.
They knocked at the door which WAS

did you come from this snowy day"
he asked in q high pitched voice.
