Birthday Party

Friends of Mrs. William Ruck de-
cided to celebrate her birthday Fri
day afternoon, February Sd. Although
the party was arranged by members
of the M. E. Aid, of which society she
is one of the most dependable and
much loved members, there were la
dies present belonging to every
church organization in town.
1t was beautiful afternoon and
the ride out to her ranch home in the
hayrack, was one of the enjoyable fea-
lures of the occasion. The ladies
seemed to have left their troubles at
home, for it was jolly crowd that
played games and did variety of
stunts.
Each guest took some choice Wand;
the hostess furnished hot drinks
topped by flaky whipped cream.
The guests departed reluctantly,
wishing Mrs. Ruck many more happy
birthdays, and each secretly hoping
that she would again be invited to
spend another such afternoon in her
hospitable home.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-Results of the

Ford tract tors are seen today in

tion of $3.50 on two-plow tractors
and 5000 on three-plow tractors.
To every farmer buying trac-
tor the company will present a

CHALK CREEK SECTION
TO WITNESS REVIVAL

Roy Stark, st. Elmo's popular post
master, and allround good scout, was
in the city over Sunday. Mr. Stark
reports the snow in that section is
about two feet deep, and business
about normal as is usual at this time
of the year.
Mr.. Stark firmly believes that with
the opening of the spring, the mining
situation at St. Elmo and Romley,
will greatly improve over the past
few years, as is indicated by various
contemplated opening up of some of
the old mines, as well as the develop
ment of several good prospects.
The Chalk Creek mining district,
according to Mr.. Stark, is due for one
of the most sensational revivals of
any mining camp in the state, not
one of those early day rushes, but
just good, steady increase, that has
the vigor and solid foundation for a
steady producing -Chaffee

The social given by the white I'll

The program included a great many
new and some entirely original stunts
and kept the large assemblage roaring
with laughter from start to finish.
Miss Boyd and Miss MCGEE directed
the "two-by-fours'' in their games
and exercises, greatly to the delight
of the small fry.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mills acted as super
intendents of the doings of those of
the adolescent period and altogether
it was a great occasion. Of course
there were refreshments in abundat
quantity and great variety.

Coyote Bearing GlenwOOd Dog Ii
cense Trapped In Arizona.

cense Trapped In Arizona.
A coyote, trapped by trappers near
Phoenix, Arizona last week, was
found to bear dog license on a
leather collar and the license was No.
65, issued at Glenwood Springs, Colo,
in 1921. The news was received in
the city by George Click, 1902 White
avenue, who heard from Tom Pultz of
Punpenny, Arizona, near Phoenix.
When the trapper found the license
tag he was astounded. 1t is believed
that the coyote was at one time, not
far distant, pet of someone in Glen
wood and escaped after the owner had
taken out dog license for protection
for the animal.
The distance travelled by this pred
atory animal, without being trapped
or poisoned was an indication of how
these marauders travel and drift and
further indication of how the ef-
forts to domesticate the animal had
apparently failed, as the dog license
is taken as almost conclusive proof
that someone had tried to make pet
of the coyote in Glenwood Perhaps
Glenwood people can clear up their
end of the mystery.-Grand Junction

OUTLOOK VERY BRIGHT
Mining Era Becoming More and More
General

As we look over the mining jour-
nails and papers of the state we can
not but note the quiet, but neverthe-
less, certain movement there is on
foot for general mining boom the
coming season. Not only in Colorado
has the mining game begun to take
life, but in all mining states, Mon
tana, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, any
where in fact that the procuring of
rare metals from the ground has been
lost art for many seasons, one sees
a regeneration of the business. In
many places it is true, the work is
being done on very small scale, but
even so, the bare working of few
men on property is much more en-
couraging than seeing the same prop
erty closed down, the buildings nailed
up, etc. .l-.

known among the miners as one time

ers, while recuperating at Idaho
Springs, opened up one of the richest
ore bodies ever struck in that dis
trict. 1t is in the Elizabeth tunnel
and is only short distance from Ida
no Springs. Assays run from 1924 to
nearly $4,000 ton in gold and silver.
Some uranium is also found there.
The discovery of this rich ore body
has put the town on the boom and
many mining men are visiting the
place with an idea of opening up
some of the many promising proper
ties around there.
At Lake City there is promise OF
much activity the coming season.

Many of the mines are working only
small forces, but the outlook for our

brighter than for many moons.

been more or less on the alert, here
we see much evidence of increased
activity.

which we print elsewhere, a consid-
cradle amount of work is to be done

THE PAPER FROM
THE OLD HOME TOWN

Mrs Effie Crawford
Talk about your literature
All about the legislature
And papers up to date,
And doin's through the state;
To me they amt comparin'
Though look the world around,
To the little newsy paper
From the old home town.
There's something brewin' in the air
The day the paper comes;
Ma, she goes about her work
And either sings or huns.
But 1 jest get so restless
Till the postman brings it down,
And I'm first to grab the paper
From the od home town.
Ma comes into the settin' room
And lets the dishes go,
And listens while read about
The folks we usta know
For births and deaths and land deals
And weddin's too abound;
All are mighty interestin'
From the old home town.
1 know it amt so classical
As these big dailies are
That tell about the prize fights
And latest movie star.
But jest for my enjoyment
There's nothin' have found,
Like the little newsy paper
From the old home town.
