RECRUITING MACHINE
GUN COMPANY HERE

Last Saturday evening number of

organization of machine gun com
pany for Glenwood Springs- He said
Glenwood was especially fortunate i'll
being offered the equipment for the
first and only machine gun company
in the state. He urged most careful
selection of the young men who were
to form the new company, and made
plain the Importance of this detail

CHICKENS NEED NOT BE
NUISANCE IN THE CIT

}
Objection is frequently raised to the
keeping of poultry in towns and cities
because of the odor which may result
and also because of ROSTERS growing,
particularly in the early morning. In
some cases city regulations have been
formulated to prevent or to control
poultry keeping. Where there are ci,Y
regulations it is necessary to find ort
their provisions and to conform to
them. But there is no necessity for
the poultry flock to become a nuisance
to neighbors, says the United States
Department of Agricultu1e. If the
dropping boards are cleaned daily and
the houses and yards are kept in "a
reasonably clean condition there will
be no annoying odors.
The male bird need not be a NUS
ance. Unless it is intended to hatch
chickens from the flock it is unneces-
sary to keep male bird, federal poul
try specialists point out. The fact
that there is no male in the flock will
have absolutely no effect on the num-
Der of eggs laid by the hens. If it
is desired to mate the hens and to
hatch chicks the male bird should be
sold or eaten just as soon as the hatch
ing season is over. This is desirable

Mr.. 1rimtle was only able to furnish

FOR SCHOOL
CONSOLIDATION

Next Thursday Mrs. Nellie d. Brown
county superintendent of schools, ex-
poets to accompany q number of school
directors and officers of this county
interested in school affairs, to Mess
county to inspect the consolidated
schools of that county, with a view Of
learning as much as possible of the
consolidation plan, and how il has
worked out in actual practice in our
neishboring county, with probable
view of its adoption in some portions
of Garfield county.
Already Rifle has developed consid-
cradle interest in the consolidation
plan and Mrs. Brown suspects that
that community will be the first to
put it into practical execution. The
plan has been used very successfully
in some parts of the state, notably in
trict in the San Louis valley, where
central school is maintained, the chill
dren being conveyed to and from the
school at public expense. and the coun-
try children being placed on par
with their city neighbors as to school
advantages, the idea being that fewer
teachers, at less expense, will accom-
plish more than is now possible under
the present system. The Rifle district
will send at least two delegates on
this trip, and probably half dozen
and it is Mrs. Browns hope that at
least districts in the county will be
represented.
The members of our board of county
commissioners have been invited to
accompany the party, as It is import
ant that they investigate the plan and
weigh its advantages and disadvan-
tages. The consolidted schools of Mesa
county are planning to entertain the
visitors, and as they are enthusiastic
advocates of the consolidated plan, it
is presumed that they will set forth
it's advantages in the most favorable
light.
