A DELIGHTFULLY."- VACATION

Howard Hubbard, Boyd King and
Ernest Eoritta, the three boys who
spent their spring vacation at Deep
lake, returned with many interesting
experiences.
The boys went horseback as far as
possible and then were obliged to finish
the journey to the lake on snowshoes.
They were to meet some other boys
with horses on the way home, but got
lost in a snowstorm and failed to con,
meet. Finally they found the road and
had the pleasure(?) of hoofing it to
Glenwood, arriving here about mid
night last Monday.
They report the snow twelve feet
deep at the lake, and from the bis
tered appearance of their faces and
the blinded condition of some upon
their arrival in Glenwood, we must con-
clude that the weather was fair and
the skies unclouded.

IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE

A business deal of more than usual
Importance for Glenwood was consum-
mated the first of this week when II.
l.. Torrey and Charles Howard pur-
chased the big stock of furniture and
house furnishing goods of J. C.
Schwarz.
Several years ago J. G. Schwarz pur-
chased the furniture and underta king
business which his brother, Louis
Schwarz, established in 1887. He has
operated the business most successfully
until the present time, but being now
past 73 years of age he feels that it is
time for him to retire and surrender
the business to younger heads and
hands, and his SUCCESSORS meet all the
necessary requirements.
II. L. Torrey has had successful
business career as an employe, having
been employed in Carbondale several
years ago, and later in Eagle, and for
the past several years being in charge
Of the clothing and furnishing depart
of the B. T. Napier & Co. store in this
city. He is well versed in mercantile
ways and is a young man Of pleasing

GARFIELD COUNTY
ALMOST over TOP

Whoop! Another community over
the topi New Castle, and somebody
said New Castle would be dead after
the mines shut down. With a quota
of $4,000, New Castle crossed the line
last Saturday afternoon with an aggre-
gate of $12,15O actually subscribed.
Remember this means pledges on which
the initial payment has actually been
made; and the same applies to Carbon
dale's fine 100000 record.
By the way, Carbondale's quota was
actually raised after the drive officially
opened, except for about $4,000 taken
the Saturday before from farmers in
remote districts who happened to be in
town. Except for that $4,000 the en-
tire quota was actually rustled togeth-
er on Monday in about seven hours
actual concentrated soliciting
Subscriptions should always be made
through the bank with which you trans
act your regular banking business. The
quotas for each community are based
upon the deposits of the individuals
doing business with the banks in each
community. Actually the quotas are
made as against the bank through this
method of figuring; but this does not
mean that the bank is responsible for
the quota; the quota is up to the de-
positors with that bank.
Following are the subscriptions re-
ported to county headquarters to noon
Friday:
Carbondale. First National, quota $780,
900. subscribed 100000; 2O2 subscribers
Glenwood, First National, quota,
$4,000; subscribed, $4,000; III sub
scribers.
Glenwood, Citizens National, quota,
$4,000; subscribed, $33,5OO; So sub
scribers.
Grand Valley, Garfield State, quota,
$4,000; subscribed, $3.50; 18 subscrib-
ers.
New Castle State, quota, $4,000; sub
scribed, $l2,O5O; "a subscribers.
Rifle First National, quota, $33 900;
subscribed, $1,000; 81 subscribers.
Rifle Union State, quota, $4,000;
subscribed, $4,000; number of subscrib
ers not reported.
Silt First State, quota, $4,000; sub
scribed, $3.50; IA subscribers.
Total quota, $222,O00; total sub
scribed, $12s,s5O; total subscribers re-
ported, ~.
The drive is half over, and just about
half of the quota has been raised. The
proportion will show up heavier as soon
as those who signed pledges without
making payments follow up their
pledges with the little ten per cent
check that turns the pledge into sub
scription. Why not do it nowf It's
not too late to have Garfield come il
with its full quota near the top Of the
Colorado list.
Wear your blue button! Some sub
scribers appear modest about this, but
have you stopped to think of the per
suasive effect that button has on peo-
pie who intend to subscribe, but have

NEW HIGH SCHOOL
BEING CONSIDERED

A movement to create new union
high school was started in New Castle
last week. Such movement, If sue
cessful, would detach from the present
county high school the district in which
New Castle is located and number of
adjacent districts. The proposition is
made a campaign issue in the coming
election for member of the school
board in district 10 New Castle).
In the interest of the county high
school, Mrs. Brown, county superin'
tendent, and Mr.. Montandon went to
New Castle to meet the board and talk
over the situation. The proposed Sc
cession was found to be the work Of
misinformed agitators principally. The
present board of district 10 is much
opposed to the plan. They feel that
their district is not in proper financial
condition to support a union high
school, 1t is also pointed out that the
best of treatment is now accorded New
Castle by the county high school in fl
nancial matters. New Castle now
maintains three years of high school
work. This is made possible because
the high school board pays 800 pei
month on the salary Of one Of the high
school teachers down there. For the
support Of the county high school last
school year the New Castle district
paid less than $500 on the salary Of .

Weekly He aIth Talks
What Doctor. Pierce Has
Done For Humanity
BY DOCTOR GRIPS.

1t has always seemed to me that
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, should be
placed near the top when q list Of
Americas great benefactors Is written.
He studied and conquered human dis
eases to d degree that few realize.
Whenever he found q remedy that over
came disease, be at once announced it
in the newspapers and told where it
could be bought at a small price. He
did not follow the usual custom of
keeping the ingredients secret, so that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name
of each root and herb he used. And
SO to-day the names of DR.. Pierce and
bis medicines are widely known, and
they stand for better health and better
citizenship.
One of this great physicians most
successful remedies is known as Doctor
Pieree's Pleasant Pellets These are
little, sugar-coated pills, composed of
Mayapple, leaves of aloe, root of ialap-
things that Nature grows in the ground.
These Pellets are safe because they
move the bowels gently, leaving no bad
after effects, as SO many pills do.
Very often they make q person who
takes them feel like a new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines
Of hard, decayed and poisonous matter
that accumulates when che Is costiEe.

While the court of inquiry is so bus

claims to original authorship of tanks,
and while discussion on the subject is
going on in sundry capitals. a French
writer, brushing aside Wells and his

and kudOs are really due. There is a
prOgnOsticatiOn in one of the Essays
of the entry of cOmbatants into battle

PLACES BLAME ON MERCHANT
According to English Visitor, He Is
Responsible for Extreme Styles
Adopted by Women.

The more important question I'M
derneath the clothes question is what
sort of appeal the new "audaciOus"
styles are intended to make, or do
make. says the Boston Transcript.
Mrs. Beatrice FOrbes-RObertsOn Hale's
entertaining talk on this question
starts off by saying frankly: 81 do not
believe that dress is based on a sex
appeal" She thinks it is rather the
reflection of a class appeal-the at
tempt to display wealth.
After democracy had done away
with mans lace cuffs, frills, wigs, vel
vet clOaks and such ostentatious lux
ury of attire it became bad form for
a man to show his class by his clothes,
and so he advertises his prosperity by
dressing up his wife.
'The modern American wife" says
Mrs. Hale, 'is nothing short of a shop
window for her husband; she shows
off his success. 1 speak of the average
human critter, of course not " the
intellectual man. The cause of the in
herent snObbishness of Overdress
comes from aping the thoughts of the
old society system of Europe. Our edu-
cation in dress here in America has
come from the merchant who has
goods to sell; we don't know where
we are today, trying to wear all the
styles these merchants are willing to
sell us. We do not wear flimsy ma
terials because we are trying to make
a sex appeal, but because it is to the
interest of the merchant to sell us
something perishable."
What terrible creatures these women
are who think and know how to speak!

NEVER LET GO OF SUITCASE
Former Congressman, on Visit TO
France, Proved Himself Superior
to Adverse Circumstances.

Dudley DOOlittle. who used to be in
congress from Kansas, recently re-
turned from Europe. where he went on
a secret mission for the United States
government.
While in France. Mr.. DOolittle had
the unusual experiences of roaming
around several hundreds of battlefelds
with a Seventy-SiX-pound suitcase
casped firmly in his srms. Shortly
after DOolittle landed in Paris, and
just before he started for the battle
fields, the handle broke off his suit
case which contained a number of
valuable documents and papers which
were almost as heavy as hardware
samples. There was no porter around
to help DOOlittle into his automobile
nor was there any around during the
ensuing ten days of his trip. There
fore, there was nothing for him to do
but to clasp the suitcase firmly to his
chest and get the best view of the bat
tletields that he could from behind the
obstruction.
DoOlittle says that he got so used to
viewing war scenes from behind the
suitcase that in order to enjoy movies
of the war now he has to take a min
iature dOghOuse to the motion picture
theaters with him and hold it on his
lap throughout the performance.
