jutant of the American legion, efforts
will be made to have every post of the

lied at the recent state convention held
at Vincennes, when 1t was decided that
half of the posts of the state should have
chartered auxiliaries.
At the present time there are fifty units

tablish separate offices, were made in

Der up to 229.
The newly organized posts are Litsey-

tee Of which Mr.. Miller was chairman

HoosIER BOOSTERS
FOE COLORADO

Mr.. and Mrs. Martin H. Rehfus II.
are here from their home in Indianap-
oils, and as usual they are loud in
their praise of Colorado in general, and
of Glenwood Springs in particular. Mr..
Rehtus says that after travelling over
nineteen foreign countries, and visit
ing all OF the leading bathing resorts,
he has come to the conclusion that the
finest baths in the world are to be
found at Glenwood Springs, Colorado
U. s. A, and he is not at all particu-
lar about who hears him say it, either.
Mrs. Rehfus is visiting her sister,
Mrs, Amelia Dewey of this city. and
MIR. Rehfus is talking to his Glenwood
friends as he meets them of the splen-
did opportunities offered in Glenwood
and predicting a splendid business fu-
ture for this little city in the days to
come. '5'wyA
A year or two ago Mr.. Rehfus pur-
chased some stock in the Manitou
mineral water company, and he has
since acted as the eastern sales agent
Of that company. He is also a stock
holder in the new bath house and no
tel, opened at Manitou this season near
the soda spring.
But when he comes to Glenwood Mr.
Rehfus sees much to make him hope
full as to the future business success
of this little community. He sees
great future for Glenwood with the
completion of the road up the Grand
canon and leading over to the eastern
slope, where auto tourists first strike
the state, but he says they will visit
Glenwood in great numbers just as
soon as they know they can come over
here by auto road. Rehfus is certain
ly booster for Glenwood, and he
makes everybody sit up and take not
ice when he starts to sing his little
song.
