Enjoying Radio.

A large number Of Meekerites en-
joyed radio concert, from Wichita,
Kansas, last Friday evening. On this
occasion, air conditions happened to
be just right and every word and
sound was distinct.
This concert was received through
the Commercial Club plant, and was
heard to better advantage in the town
park and over on Park avenue than
in the Commercial Club rooms.
In putting in radio plant, the
Commercial Club gave another evil
dence Of its public spirit, and evident
intent Of always doing something for
the public benefit. The public can sit
In the town park and enjoy concerto
and other features that come over the
radio.

Another Reason Why We Should

MEEKER, AUGUST 2, 1922.
HONORABLE PRESIDENT AND BOARD
OF RIO BLANco COUNTY HIGH
SCHOOL, MEEKER, COLORADO.
GENTLEMEN I'm making up our
school year statistics, we find the
percentage OF maintaining the rooms
occupied by the High School last year
is considerably higher than the cost
has been to the Grade School In main
tanning the same rooms.
1t will, therefore, be necessary to
advance the rent this year, for the
same accommodations that the High
School hAd last year, from Twenty
Four Hundred Dollars, to Three
Thousand Dollars. beginning Sep
TENDER l, 1922.
We trust the rent will merit your
approval. Sincerely you're,

All farm, garden and orchard crops
in Colorado this year will have q
farm value of slightly more than $780,
600, 600, according to present indica-
tions, at present prices and what ap-
parently will be prevailing prices at
market time. Production of most Of
the major crops grown in the state
apparently will be somewhat larger
than last year and production of po-
'tatoes, fruits and market garden
crops will be considerably higher
than for 1921. Prices Of staple field
crops are much the same rs those OF
1921, but prices Of potatoes and late
orchard crops are not yet established,
says the state crop report.

Schools.

In a recent number of the Ameri-
can Boy, appeared the following brief,
but timely, article:
"Some prominent man with the
complete and perfect intelligence of
an added cocoanut got up OIL his legs
the other day and said high schools
should be abolished because poor
folks couldn't afford to send their
children to them. Yes sir, he said
just that. He said the poor folks had
to take their children out of school
at the completion of the grammar
grades, and comfortable-of people
got all the benefit. We'd hate to ex-
anime that mans head unless W.
wore gas mask. We know some
thing about schools, and we are here
to say that there are more children of
poor people in high school than there
are of folks who are bettero off. That's
because the poor people know that
the way to make their children more
fortunate in life than they are Is to
give them the best education they
can, So they work and sacrifice that
their boys and girls may have the
best. High schools are more for the
benefit Of the poor than Of the rich.
The rich could get along. They could
send their children to private schools.
We think the high school is the Pc
cuiisr property Of the poor; that they
get more out Of it than anybody else
-as they should. Even colleges
are no longer the property of the we'll
to-do. They belong to the ambitious.
We don't care how poor boy Is. If
he wants an education, he can get 1t.
And mostly he does"

Noted in Las, Weeks Observations.

At the recent high school bond
election, the high school board was
given authority to do most everything
under consideration, but was not Riy-
en- funds with which to carry the au-
fluctuations into effect. On, August
2lst, give the board the means with
which to do something along con-
structive lines. Vote In favor of the
bond issue.
Practically everybody admits the
need of q high school building, but
quite q number say-let US wait till
times are better before burdening our
selves with additional taxes. Times
are now getting better-fast. And.
you will not be called on to pay any
taxes ON high school bond issue for

there is mighty good boost for ths

well defined, together with oonsi1sf-

formed, the local Chamber Of Com

such competition this city can only

AS everybody knows, auto travel
from coast to coast is getting to b. .

any attention to this matter until our
young fellow townsman Wright Han

with the result that the truthful and
valuable folder above referred 70 IL

HIGH SCHOOL
OBSERVATIONS

Next Monday, you are called on to
vote on the High School bond propo-
sition and 1t il the duty ofevery voter
to got out and vote. Almost the first
question newcomer asks 10 what
are your school privileges2' Denver
is working for 600, 600 population in
the next few years, and will vote on
six million dollar bond proposition
soon, ~ they realize that II you want
population at the present time, you
must have schools.
The site for. the high school build
lug has been purchased and is just a
block north Of the park. on the street
leading to the grade school building.
The location 10 ideal and water and
sewer handy.
1t has been said that t76,OOO il too
much money to put into high school
building at this time. II you vote
for this amount, It does not necessar-
lily mean that 81, 900 worth Of bonds
must be purchased at this time, or
any future time. Only the amount
Of bonds necessary TO put In the foun-
dation would have to be sold and one
banking house in Denver has offered
to pay per cent. on all balances
on money deposited with them. The
question Of foundation aud basement
10 an important one. aud must be
done In . permanent manner, and to
accomplish this " III cost considerable
money. II . building can be build
for 10000 or 10000 that would be
the amount Of bonds sold.
You have . High School committee
who are working to give you a good
county high school at the lowest pos
sible cost. Vote FOR the Bond issue
and push with them to make Rio
