ROWING MARINES TO APPEAR
WITH UNIQUE PROGRAM

Help! Murder! Police! Fire!
Noise, noise and more noise, can you
imagine it? Old III. C. L." is at last
put in the background. Listen folks,
get your ear right up close, and don't
miss one bit of this information.
Once more, THE U. S. Marines have
landed and have the situation well in
hand" They are travelling under the
name of Rowing Marines" and will
visit this part of Colorado in the near
future, be sure that you get the dates,
and from the press notices in cities
where they have put on their show
they are making a big hit, rendering
a two hours entertainment that is
well worth travelling many miles to
see
The Rowing Marines" will show in
Grand Junction, at the armory, the
night Of May 21st, commencing at
p. m.; at the Armory in Montrose the
night of May 22nd, same time; and
will be in Leadville, showing at the
Eks' Opera house on the night of
May oath.
On the night Of May Goth the "Rov-
ers'' arrive in Grand Junction and the
35 piece band, known as the famous
Mare Island Marine Band" will play
for the American Legion dance. This
is to be free dance, and from ad-
vance information it will be necessary
to go early and avoid the rush. This
band played at a dance at Spokane,
Washington, and drew an 5000 crowd,
SO you can imagine what will take
place the night Of the Goth.

they are installed. Those citi-
zens who cannot do this, can be
given the privilege of paying for
the cost OF meters over a period
OF years. the interest on the cost

the expense of installation TO the
poorer house owners will amount
to but a few dollars year, and
the burden will not fall heavily

We believe that the. installation
of meters throughout the town
would cut your consumption from
10000 gallons day to. at the
most. 10000 gallons per day, and
the cost of installing and main
tanning the meters would be more
than offset by the saving in cost
of pumping and purifying the
