MoHRsr AND LOWEST
POINTS IN WORLD NOTED

The maximum difference in elevation
Of land in the United States is 14,777
feet, according to the U. s. geological
survey. Mt. Whitney, the highest
point, is 14,501 feet above sea level,
and a point in Death Valley is 276
feet be.ow. These two points-both in
Californian less than 30 miles apart.
This difference is small, however, COM
pared with the figures for Asia. Mount
Everest rises 29,0O2 feet above sea
level, whereas the shores of the Dead
Sea are 1890 feet below sea level,
total difference in land heights Of
30,292 feet Mount Everest has never
been climbed
The greatest ocean depth yet found
is 32,292 feet, at point about 40 miles
north of the island Of Minanao, in the
Philippine Islands. The ocean bottom
at this point is therefore more than
11H miles below the summit of Mount
Everest. = Engineering and Mining

School Notes
a1ENwooD WINS AND LOSES
(Purity Dick)

" oAAoy 0AChJ
Last Saturday evening the Glenwood
basket shooters went to New Castle to
uphold the high standard of G. G. h.
s. in playing and in sportmanship. The
gay bunch left at about six clock for
the small city, in cars, arriving there
at about seven.
The games were interesting through
out. The New Castle girls were out
matched, the score at the end of the
first half resulting in SO to l in favor
of the local girls. Their girls fought
and never gave up hope, but to no
avail. The score at the end of
the game was 81 to Z, giving
our girls another overwhelming victory.
After the first quarter, Coach Walker
deemed it wise to save her first team
and so put in two subs. Lucille Oberly
was shifted to center and Mary Croyle
took her place at forward. Dora Mos
con was taken out and Marjorie spen-
Ger was put in her place. The girls
played their usual game of good team
work and were very much pleased with
the results of the game.
The boys game started out with a
rush, the New Castle boys making the
first basket. The score at the end of
the half was 8-2 in favor of New Cas-
tie. The Glenwood team never gave up
hope, and fought hard to the finish.
But the size of the floor and the mex
perienced referee made it impossible
for the local Red Devils to win, and
the game closed with score of 9-S in
favor of New Castle. After the games
the local teams were asked up to the
school house where the New Castle
High school showed their spirit by feed
ing the Glenwood teams. The teams
departed for their homes feeling fairly
good over the games. The local teams
will play a return game here with
Grand Junction Friday night. Come
and see good game.
Last week the Rifle teams went to
Grand Junction and Fruita. and were
defeated all games, although it is said
that the Rifle teams tried hard and
played good. But the true Rifle spirit
is shown again. The Glenwood boys
beat Fruita and Fruita beat Rifle, then
the Rifle Telegram came out saying
that the reason Glenwood beat the
Fruita boys was because they played
the second team. We wish to inform
the Rifle Telegram that we played
the only original first team of the
Fruita High school and beat them in a
square game. We are not ashamed to
say that Fruita beat us at Fruita and
also showed square game. We want
to remind the Rifle Union High school
that we have never walked away from
a game because we were being beaten.
The last week the high school has
been fortunate in having some splendid
speakers in the assembly. Wednesday
morning Mr.. Murphy gave q synopsis
of Enoch Arden which was very good.
Friday morning Major Edwards, who
went all through the war in the Cana
dian flying corps, gave an address on
"Why the World Should Have Peace"
The high school indoor circus parade
through the town was welcomed by the
people of Glenwood, and they followed

rW JAzzHRArHD HISTORY
OF THE WORLD
(By Lettuce Chuckle)
Preface

Reformers are calling this a Jazz
age. Just what such an expression in
cludes is much and many, but generally
speaking it means a period Of time
that possesses a sort of chiffon out
look coupled with saxophone DISPOSE
tion. Many folks claim we don t like
it, but this doesn't total up with the
whisper of the speedometer. The surest
thing is that it is here and it ism It
singing the blues about getting the
cold shoulder or the freely handshake.
After having considered this tantaal.
izing tendency for the last several
years, am convinced that the modern
mind desires jazzerated history of
the world written in present American
ese and garnished with plenty of pep,
plausibility and polish. And since no
moon faced genius has grabbed oppor.
tunity by the top knot and pranced
into the literary limelight, I have de-
cided to do it myself.
In attempting such stupendous la.
Dor, one should submit credentials to
prove that is a mauler Of learning and
competent to challenge knowledge in
the squared circle of human wisdom.
Although I shrink from public gaze
like boarding house prune, I suppose
must hit the high spots and allow the
reader to fill the gaps.
1 was born at the same age most
children are and forgot the name of
my birthplace because the expected
railroad didn't go through. I was
reared on one of Uncle Sans home
steads out west where irrigation was to
make the desert bloom like rose.
Somehow it never bloomed. In fact, it
didn't even bud I passed through
several colleges merely to see what
they looked like on the inside. Since
then I have been tackling the world
from every angle and have found it
the toughest piece of masonry ever
Jumped together.
Coming back to the main right of
way, the greatest trouble with history
as she is "wrote' is that she makes
all the old birds dead ones instead of
live ones. The old waffles of yester-
day were just as wild as we are. Hec-
tor and Hannibal would have enjoyed

and Mr.. and Mrs. Cleopatra loved the
beauty advertisements the same as

women's rights as modern mother. The
only difference was time and scenery.
America longs for culture like any
other hopeful burg, but she wants 1t
dlshed la American. She wants more
meat and less gravy. For n instance:
to write that Absalom had lovely
tresses and was hung by them (Which

HE HAS NOT FAILED.

There is man we all know--ano
are proud of the fact-who is laid uI
from an injury received last summer
while theoretically trying to meet OBJ
legations which were weighing HIM
down. These obligations proved too
large for him, and he gave all the
earthly goods he possessed toward sat
isfying his creditors Time was when
his holdings would have more than
covered his debts. That was be-
fore the distressing slump in farm val
ues. This man has always dealt four
square with his fellows.
They say he has failed. But has heg
1t is fact that all the money he
made and might have made is not now
piled up in some bank to his credit
nor does he hold title to things repre-
senting money, but, his unusual energy
and pluck and big-heartedness are
seen in the tramway which helped his
neighbors and friends very greatly in
marketing their grain; in the Nezperce
& Idaho railroad, which has given this
rich farming section its only rail out
let to the market centers; in the mills
of our community; in the business and
other establishments of public usage
which the populace has enjoyed
through the passing years. 1t was this
man and men like him-and they are
all too few-who developed and built
up the larger concerns about US, which
we are wont to enjoy and take as
matter of course and he did his part
freely without compensation, for the
common good, when he might have
been making and boarding for him
self. 1t was he and his ilk who rode
up and down the prairie circulating
petitions and urging the people to lend
a hand in order that life might be
made easier for them-and he took no |
pay
The Iabors of this big-souled pioneer |
have not been in vain. They are not
lost--he is no failure.
AS sure as there is just God in
heaven, this man stands today head
and shoulders above any who profited
unfairly by his labirs, even though |
they may have piled up and held the
dollars and he is poor-poor in dollars
only.
