ice brotherhoods of the carriers and
the proposal to end the nationwide

of the men with their seniority rights

Bert NJ. Jewell, official spokesman
for the strikers declared the sssocia-

At this time there was splitting
away from the majority of a group of
% railroads, principally western lines

the brotherhoods for individual settle

the faculty. Miss Kathryn A. Lynch,
A. B., of the University Of Utah, will
have history and assist in the com
mercial department. MI. Raymond
Moorehead, A. B., of Fort Collins, has
been secured for the athletics and ply
steal training. Mr.. Moorehead has
splendid record as an athlete and
teacher. For the teaching and su-
pervision of music Miss Delpha Vest

voice and has had marked success in
organizing, glee clubs, orchestras and
chorus singing. All of the new teach
ers come with strong recommends
tons for the special work they are to
do.
Some new equipment has been or
dered to make the various departments
more efficient in their work. Gymna-
SUM apparatus, turning lathe, type
writer's, lockers and charts that were
much needed are being installed. The
high school building has been put in
the pink of condition for the opening
of school.
In the Grade and Junior High there

Tho professional spirit of the Glen
wood teachers deserves much praise.
All but two of the teachers from both
high school and grades have been in
attendance at summer schools in
higher institutions of learning during
the summer. 1t is very doubtful if an
other such record can be shown by any
town IN the state. The teachers are

Larger Enrolment Of Students
From Outlying Districts
Than Ever Before
fine TEACHING CORPS

1t will be but few days till the
young folks will be hustling about,
books under arm, headed for the
schools. 1t is an inspiring sight to see
the youth of community purposeful
in the pursuit OF training for active,
efficient citizenship. Greater oppor-
tunity is offered the youth of today
in education than was thought posi-
BILE generation ago. States, cities,
and communities nave We'd with each
other making their educational systems
the best for twentieth century needs.
Glenwood Springs has taken decided
forward step in this respect. Our youth
reflect the pride and confidence we
have in our schools by their earnest
ness and enthusiasm for the beginning
of the new year.
The barometer of community may
be read with no uncertainty py sne
who is observant during the month of
September. 1t is an inspiring sight to
see the youth of the city, with bi tight
eve, and buoyant spirit headed for
school work which is the great busi-
ness and vocation for 100000 red
blooded, forward looking Americans.
We have confidence in the youth of
Glenwood Springs, we have confidence
in Americas greatest institution-her
free schools. The community intensely
interested in its schools and its youth
is right at heart. If the youth take
hold of their work with determination
to make school their vocation for the
year, and to make every day count
much toward an enviable record, the
barometer will stand high.
Several new teachers have been
added to the high school corps. Mr.
Ralph N. Trailer, A. NJ, of Boulder

LETTUCE GAME IS
NOT ASSURING
Slime, Tip Burn and Seeders
Playing Hob With Growers
in This County
MUCH YET TO LEARN

Apparently the head lettuce indus
try in this portion of the state is some-
what disappointing, judging by the
answers we have received from grow
ers and others in the Roaring Fork
and Colorado river areas where the
crop was planted quite extensively this
year. Altogether, rs carloads have
been shipped out of this territory this
year, with many more cars yet to
come.
The Cattle creek territory shipped
half car over week ago and is now
loading the second car and the crop is
coming in very slowly, there being
great deal of poor lettuce in this ter
ritory, and the waste being very heavy.
The crop is badly affected with slime
and tip burn and a considerable pro-
portion Of the heads must be discarded
on account of seeding.
The first shipment from the Cattle
creek sheds was graded as a poor No.
2, and the second car went as an un-
classified. From the Sopris creek Sec
tion some excellent lettuce has been
shipped, easily grading No. 1.
Apparently there is much to be
learned about the growing of this
crop, and it is believed that this years
growers who try the crop next year
will be much more successful, as they
will have learned much from this
years experience. Some have made
the mistake of irrigating too much,
while others have not applied water
enough. The men who came here from
California and elsewhere to pack the
crop, and who have had much expert
ence, give it as their opinion that the
majority of the growers planted their
crop at least two weeks too early, in
view of the weather conditions this
summer, although the same date might
prove all right another year.
1t is very evident that the plants re-
quire cool weather at the time the
heads are forming, and it is therefore
believed that there is more danger in
planting too early than too late. What
will be received for the crop is Of
course a matter of speculation as yet,
as the crop is all marketed on a oom-
mission basis.

new building on Grand avenue last
Thursday afternoon at which time
their patrons and the people of Glen

A STATE PARK NEAR OUR
DOORS.

The Milwaukee Journal of Sunday
brought us the information that Wis
consin has accepted the Tower Hill
property for a State Park and that
the dedication of this park is plan
ned for the coming Fall. This is in
deed. good news for dwellers of
Southwestern Wisconsin. The prop
erty consists of sixty-five acres of
scenic bottom land, along the~Wis-
consin river and within about mile
of Spring Green. The land reaches
an eminence Of 200 feet, at the old
Shot tower, which stands like a SEN
tinel over the valley. The gift of the
property to the State was made by
Mrs. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, and there
is a movement to call the place The
Jenkin Lloyd Jones Park. in honor of
the late owner, who served the state
and the nation as soldier, minister
and educator. The spot is not only
of historic interest, but it is rightly
described as one of the most pictur-
esque places in Southern Wisconsin.
1t is situated forty miles west Of
Madison and twenty-four miles north
of Mineral Point. The establishment
of the Park will mean that thousands
and thousands of tourists will visit
Southwestern Wisconsin yearly. In
these days of rapid travel, it can be
said that we are to have State Park
and a beautiful one, near our. own
doors.
