MARTIN NEALY, son of j. G.
Neatly.
RAY BURDICK, son of Mrs. F. NJ.
Burdick.
LOUIS WIDMAN, son of T. T. Wild
Ewin Greer is in critical condi-
tion.
The youths had gone to Crawford,
20 miles south Of here, to a dance.
While returning home after the dance,
the lights on the car flickered badly
and it is believed to have caused them
/ to turn in the wrong direction. The
car hurled into the gulch.
Burdick's neck was broken and the
death Of the other two is believed to
have been caused by drowning. Gree,
who was badly injured and hall
strangleds remained conscious for three
hours and whenever he could muster
strength enough he lifted the car from
his body and shouted for help.
About o'clock this morning hi.
cries were heard by Joe Mcknight, 9
rancher, who investigated and hastily
summoned neighbors.
Widman's father, it is reported, wa.
one of the rescue party, helping to lift
the body of his son from the stream

entertainment was greatly appreciated.
Judge J. W. Bell was the next speak
or, and he encouraged the farmers, not
only to stick to the ranches until they
struck oil, but to stick to them after
they struck oil, reminding that oil ct
best was uncertain as to its eontinu-
ity, whereas ranch land, if well carsd
for, remains continuous producer.
Rev. A. \. Martin Of Rifle made .
very interesting address on the sub
ject Of patriotism, reminding his hear.
ers that the government under which
they live is their government and that
it was their privilege and their duty
as good citizens to mould and shape
its destiny, and that in order to do
this it was incumbent on every good
citizen to 60 to the polls on election
day and cast his ballot for men and
measures that make for a better gov
ernmeAt.
Lynn Kennedy and Representative
Rees of Rifle and Rev. Phillip D. Nor
veil and Carleton Hubbard of Glen

manner in which they ministered to
the appetites of their guests.
After all had partaken of the won,
derful bounty of the Divide creek
valley, they repaired to the comforta-
BILE chapel where John Collins, pres
ident of the Boostersi club, called the
meeting to order and announced that
as the guests Of the evening were Glen.
wood Lions, Senator Callen, who was
member of the organization, would
have charge of the meeting during the
remainder Of the evening.
During his Introductory remarks Sen
ator Callen referred to the harmony
and good fellowship prevailing in the
Divide creek country, and paid very
high compliment to his neighbors who
he said were working unselfishly for
the advancement of their community
and for the betterment Of others.
Speaking of the oil prospects, Mr..
Callen said the people of that section
believed they were on an oil struc-
ture, but said they could only wait
until the companies having the major
ity of the country under lease decided
what they would do, but said the Di-
vide creek people were an hopeful as
to the outcome.
Referring modestly to the Silt-Coll-
bran road, which was made possible
only through his efforts and legisla-
tive appropriation which he secured,
although he made no reference to this,
Mr.. Callen said it was not generally
known that only six miles Of road
would be necessary to connect the Silt
Collbran road with the Mcclure pass
road, thereby shortening the distance
between Montrose, Delta and nearby
towns and Glenwood Springs by 126
miles, in comparison with the present
circuitous route via Grand Junction.
Tom E. Dover, president Of the Glen
wood Lions club, was called on and he
expressed for himself and his associ-
ates the thanks Of all for The invita-
tion to visit this section and to par
take of the splendid supper. he said
that although the meeting was non.
political, he believed that Mrs. FooSs,

We never know how thoroughly We
appreciate our neighbors until we
come into close contact with them
meet them in their own homes or COM
munities and discuss with them the
things that appeal to them and in
which they are interested. Then it is
that we begin to visualize from their
angle and to see things from their
viewpoint, and not until we can do
that do we really know and understand
each other.
That's the way the Glenwood Lions
went down to Divide creek last Friday
evening ON invitation of the Divide
Creek Boosters club, which we find
has been properly named, as it is ap.
parently living up to its title every
day in the year, and it will continue
to do SO as long as it holds ON its
membership roll the names of some Of
the wide-awake and live boosters who
now direct its affairs.

WANTON BIRD SLAUGHTER
MAY SOON BE CHECKED

ATLANTA, March 6.-Agricul-
turists here are calling attention to
the fact that birds that help far
mers are being slaughtered, and a
movement is under way to check the
obstruction of the feathery tribe.
Statistics made public here show
that there are sixty-six kinds of
birds of the Southeastern States
that feed upon boil weevils. 1t is
shown that they not only help the
farmer by feeding upon the boil
weevil, the bollworm, the leafworrn,
and other pests of cotton but de-
stroy important insect enemies of
all the crops.
"Too often the man or boy with a
gun pays no attention to the kind
of bird he shoots" said an agricul-
tural department official. The de
sire to kill any bird is responsible
for the destruction of many feath-
cred friends of mankind. 1t is d
desire that is doing harm to South
ern agriculture and to one of the
chief delights of outdoor life III
the South, for the song birds fill
the Southern air with melody. All
these birds, in fact birds in gen
eral, should receive all the protec-
ton the Southern planter can eX-
tend"

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When It
fades, turns gray or streaked, Just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hum
dredfold
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe inn
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents at small cost, all ready for use.
1t is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound. This can always be de-
pended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses '.Wyeth's'' Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because. 1t
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
tine by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another applica-
ton it becomeS beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrcas.
