And, remember, that the average
wholesale price of ALL cuts of meats

COUNTRY CLUB ENTERrAINs
hcEAEBKRS AND FAMILIES

The Glenwood Country Club, through
a wideawake committee entertained its
members and their families last Mon
day evening at hamburger fry at the
golf links south Of the city.
The weather was threatening in the
early evening and later a shower in
terfcred with the program and neeessi-
tated serving the supper in the club
house instead of on the lawn, as per the
original plan. notwithstanding this,
the members present and their families
greatly enjoyed the evening which was
spent as an outing by those who went
early and INDUCED in a game of golf
as an appetizer.
The hamburger sandwiches were lust
right, and the coffee, doughnuts and
other "fixin's" just touched the spot
and later dancing to "canned" music
wa much enjoyed by the young people
This was the first social event under
''..he auspices of this new club, and the
members are hoping there may be
others.

MISS NEBHL LEAVES
FOB NEW FIELD


Glenwood is certainly the loser by
the retirement from our local sanitar-
ium of Miss Clara Nobel, one Of our
most popular nurse in that institution,
who left the first of this week, and
who will early next month assume her
duties in the new position which was
recently rendered her-thst Of teach
ing home nursing and home hygiene in
the East High school at Des Moines,
Iowa.
Miss Nobel left Glenwood last Sun
day morning, bound for her home at
High Hill, Montgomery county. Mis-
souri,. She will visit there and at Lib
erty, Mo. until shout September / when
she will go to Des Moines where she
will prepare to take up her work for
the coming year.
Miss Nobel is prime favorite in
Glenwood and those who have had the
privilege of her acquaintance, and her
excellent qualities will agree with the
Post that in Miss Nebel's going, Glen
wood has sustained real loss, and that
Des Moines is to be congratulated on
her good judgment in selecting Miss
Nobel as one of her teachers. Kindly
| in nature ambitious to achieve, and
with a desire to devote her energies so
that the world would be the better for
her efforts. Miss Nobel has made many
friends in Glenwood and Garfield coun-
ty who will rejoice at the news of her
good fortune, and confidence which the
Des Moines people have shown in her
sbility.
Miss Nobel came to Glenwood eight
years ago, and for the first thee years
was engaged in private nursing. Then
she entered the Glenwood sanitarium
where she has since been employed,
barring six months spent in New York
College of Nursing where she took an
advanced course in surgery and obstet-
RIGS, and more than seven months she
spent overseas as a Red Cross nurse
during the world war.
In her overseas work Miss Nobel was
thrown in close contact with Miss Hell
en- Needle, teacher in the Des MONIES
schools, and also a Red Cross nurse. 1t
was because Of this pleasant associa-
ton that Miss Nobel was recommend
ed by Miss Needles to the school board
which after careful investigation, pre-
vailed ON the Glenwood nurse to take
a position in the Des Moines school,
where we predict she will prove GEM
inc success.

NoN-PARfmANs MAKE
o1G1 NOMINATION


The Non-Partisan Ieaguers Of Gar
field county or, more properly speaking
thirteen members of the Towney organ
izatiOn, met as convention in Glen
wood last Saturday for the purpose of
nomination, or rather endorsing a sen.
atorial candidate for this district.
The meeting was organized by the
selection of Fred Gaylord of Rifle as
chairman and s. B. Potter of Rulison
as secretary.
As soon as these officers of the con
vention had taken their places w. R
Callicotte arose and said it was the
business and practice of the Non-Par
tisan league to endorse, rather than to
nominate candidates, and that they Sc
lected from other parties those candi
dates that they believed would be most
favorable to the interests of the league
and that they were especially interest
ed in legislative candidates.
With these preliminary remarks Mr..
Callcotte delivered high eulogy on
Judge Noonan, whom he pronounced
an ideal candidate for state senator
from this district, saying that as a
member of the legislature for two seq
sions Judge Noonan had made most
enviable record. He declared that when
the Plutocratic machine, led by C. c.
Hamlin and backed by the late Werner
z. Reed sought to enact legisa-
ton inimical to the common people.
Judge Noonan was Johnny-on-thesp
in behalf of the common people. He
said Noonan had frequently fought for
legislation requested by the league when
to do so it was necessary to go just
contrary to the policies of his own
party.
After Callicotte had furnished his
very complimentary remarks, Judge
Noonan was placed in nomination for
senator by Hube Strouse of New Castle
and vote being taken Noonan received
six affirmative votes, the other seven
delegates not voting.
There was some hitch about the ad-
visibility of sending committee to
bring ,Noonan before the convention to
make q speech, and to sign up-some-
thing. Finally Chairman Gaylord said
he thought it was important that Noon
an be brought before the meeting, n
it might be possible that he was not az
good frien6 of the league as CALI
cote had reported him to be. Hube
strouse was therefore dispatched ~ a
committee for this purpose. He found
Judge Noonan, who, however, declined
to return with him to the court house,
and after waiting some time for the
speech that never came, the convention
adjourned, not however, until q COM
mittee on vacancies had been appoint
ed to fill this nomination by petition
in case the Republicans failed to make
Judge Noonan their senatorial nominee.
This committee is composed of w. r.
Callicotte. Roy Maxfeld and H. T..
Strouse. Another convention Of the N.
P. L. is to be held in Glenwood today.
