Rotary Attendance
Is Increasing

Rotary attendants took another
jump Monday when a number OF
guests from the summer school and
friends of the members were present,
about 35 in all.
DIR. Terman, special lecturer from
Leland Stanford University, was a
speaker this week He declared that
Rotarians are the liveliest group Of
public spirited people in America
Just now. DIR. Tennan Was especial
iy prominent during the war by his
work on intelligence tests in classify
ing the recruits. He is an authority
on educational matters and spoke
very entertainingly. Government CEN
sus reports to the effect that litter
acy in America averages only six or
seven per cent, are incorrect, said DIR.
Herman. In many states the army
records show that rs high as thirty
and forty per cent Of young men re-
porting for service, were unable to
read intelligently the daily papers.
The field of human knowledge has
been so widened Of late year,. that Q
higher standard Of education is neces-
nary. Each science Is completely
changing its aspect every ten to
twenty years. In order 10 start out
children with . reasonable foundation
Of knowledge, which ID the sccumu-
lated experience Of mankind, educa-
ton must continue the broadening
process more and more. In spite OF
the large sums being spent for
schools, the American people spend
still more for tobacco and almost ~
nruch for cosmetics.
Walter Loupe Of Grand Junction,
well known singer, known rs SLisn
L0upe," sang two fine numbers, ending
with the "stutter song" 30 popular.
Miss Ethel Partner favored the lunch
con guests with two beautiful songs.
DR.. John Dawson, president OF
Howard college at Birmingham, Ala
hama, WHO is an instructor ut the
summer esllege term, then addressed
the club. Mr.. Dawson is q member
Of Rotary Club No. IS, and is inbued
with the spirit, Of the organization
His address was replete with witty
stories and information concerning
his work. He declared that Rotary
took the friendly spirit Of the small
town first into the city, and now It
was being pushed back in the smaller
towns by the international organizes
ton. It Is the spirit Of organized
friendliness and love. In his opinion,
Rotary is Just beginning its career:
In the absence Of President A. w.
Hogan, who with Judge E. N. Nourse
| is attending the International con-
vention at st. Louis this week, Vice
President Palmer presided at the
luncheon Monday.

An Enjoyable Week
end In Salida

The editor Of the Woman's Page
enjoyed \ weekend visit in Salida
last week. getting back to Cunnison
Monday morning-and because we
had to work that afternoon, the train
was on time. We had q dandy time
while in SalidA, the guest Of Mrs. J.
H. Harrell. The Harrells have lust
got settled in their lovely home which
they recently purchased on H. Street,
one Of the finest residential sections Of
Salida. Right nsxt door to them ID
the fine residence Of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIC. Neiderhut, former Gunnisonites
Sunday afternoon the Neiderhuts in.
vited Mrs. Harrel. the writer and q
friend for IN auto trip in their big
Nash. The ride was one Of the most
enjoyable we have had in . Ions
time. The roads in that section an
in fine condition, and the distance be-
tween Salida and Hortense HoI
Springs, some twenty miles, wa,
covered in no time. Arriving at thi.
pretty summer resort, we spent ar
hour watching the bathers in thu
pools and inspecting the points Of in
tcrest roundabout. A walk of con
siderable distance was taken up tht
foot of Mt Princeton, where a rici
woman of St Louis, owns q beautiful
summer resort. The grounds are moi
entirely laid out yet, there being n
least eighteen cottages erected, witt
about fifty to be completed. The own
er's private residence is one of the
prcttiest mountain bungalows ons
can imagine. The entire place nest
ling at the foot of the majestic tree
covered mountain, is an ideal spol
for summer home, and but nice
walking distance from the big hote
at the springs.
On the way back to Salida, Mr.
Neiderhut decided to drive by way OF
Buena Vista, somewhere around 2,
miles. The scenery around this poin,
is beautiful. The road winds between
prosperous farms, the meadows look
ing for all the world like great velve,
carpets. Blossom-laden trees are q
forecast of what will be seen later in
the fall.
While passing thru Buena Vista
our host stopped for a few minutes
chat at the home of Chas. Vail, q
former resident of Tin Cup, and who
still spends his summers at that camp
Mrs. John Hines also lives in Buenu
Vista, and was former neighbor OF
the Neiderhuts when they resided in
Tin Cup good many years ago
We stopped for a handshake with thu
lady, who is now seventy-two, but a.
! spry as q much younger woman
Mrs. Hines had the misfortune t.
bury her only son three years ago
! and lives alone. She owns a very pref.
ty home in Buena Vista.
It was quite n late hour when We
got back to Salida, but we enjoyed
every bit Of the trip.

THIS is JUNE

(By Phillip Burroughs Strongly
This is June, the month of roses rare.
OF all the gracious year the time
most fair,
For pleasant sights and fragrant
scents supreme,
The month Of gentle mood and
tender dream,
When man might well forget hard
toll and care.
Yea, month of gifts and graces past
compare:
No other morns such charms en-
chanting bear,
No other eyes with stars SO beauteous
beam
Yea, this is June!
How can souls yield in doubt and
dark despair
When beaming sunshine floods the
balmy air,
And welded earth and sky with
blessings TEEN
As if they would a weary world
redeem.
Ny heart, do thou. at least with Joy
declare,
This, this is June!

she fell of the foot bridge.
Was reading in the paper this
afternoon about John Clause, the old
German miner near Chance. He got
his feet frozen last winter and had
70 have one amputated. Poor old
fellow ,hobbled from his claim to the
mining camp of Chance on some rude
crutches he made from poles.
Saw Joe Riley hobbling around on q
-cratch today. Says he stepped on a
