Game and Fish Commissioner Here
On Saturday R. G Parvin, state
rame and fish commissioner, spent
the day at the Pitkin hatchery, look
ing over the large amount of im
provements being done there this
summer.
Mr. Parvin was well pleased with
the work already accomplished and
laid out plans for further improve
ments, which will be at least started
this fall, but it is probable that all
will not be finished before another
summer.
The commissioner has recently vis
ited a convention of fish men in the
west and returned very much en
thused In the work and has a fund of
n«w Ideas and methods in fish culture
which he plans and hopes to put into
use in the department in Colorado, as
fast as he can introduce them into
the various hatcheries of the state
A few week* ago an article ap
peared in the Gunnison News- Cham-
pion, copied Lom a Salida paper, i n
which the commissioner was severely
•<>h in waters closed by himself on
•pper Tomichi.
Mr. Parvin was asked by a Miner
•porter concerning this and he very
mphat caily denied the statement.
He said he had never even been asked
for such ape mit and would have un
reservedly denied It, had such a favor
been asked of him.
We do not know where the Salida
o ',per proc red its information, but
as Editor Lake has always main
tained *vn attitude of animosity
toward Commissioner Parvin and has
rover yet to our knowledge, failed to
'ake unwarranted falls out of him.
'.v j were not especially surprised at
■ is copying the article without in
my way trying to verify the state
m?nt We are glad to be able to re
fute the statement and to guarantee
to the public that such a permit
never was and never will be issued
by Mr. Parvin.
Mr. Parvin accompanied by Field
Superintendent Jas. Haviland. left
Sunday for Cedaredge to inspect the
new buildings being erected at that
place—Pitkin Miner.
NAMING THE BABY
Ten thousand fresh Massachusetts
babies have been named Coolfdge.
Which increases Cal’s publicity with
out adding to bis plurality. It will
be some years before those infants
are old enough to vote; by that time
they may acquire some sense
During presidential years all moth
ers label their babies afteT some
prominent candidate. This is no way
tn handicap youngsters who will have
to earn their own living in later
years.
But you cannot stop this epidemic
of nomenclature. Little Coolidg©
Smith may grow up to vote Demo
cratic, while tiny La Follette Gins
burg will be Democratic, and Davis
7- nes will launch another third party
ticket.
Mothers should hesitate before they
christen their innocent youngsters in
u onor of prominent people.
Eddie Foy named his oldest child
after Bryan. But Eddie says he will
never make that mistake again.
Fourteen hundred children were
named Hughes in 1916, when that
famous man was counted in and out
again. Those fourteen hundred kids
must go through life knowing they
were defeated in their first year.
There should be some law to pre
vent dizzy parents from naming their
iumoFs after candidates. This writer
was named after President Arthur in
1886 for no reason at all. Arthur
was never elected again, and neither
were we
One mother named her triplets
OolidTe Lo Follette and Davis. For
tunately they are still too young to
rea'fze that they hate each other.
But they all have individual cam
paign cries and do their orating at
night. Wh n they get old enough to
' now they are opposed to each other
there will be plenty of fundamental
mud-slinging
And when they learn to read in
1930, and get an eye*fu! of what they
said about each other in 1924 their
mother will wish she had named ’em
after Dupont, Krupp and Gatling.
There is an old gag: . “Sticks and
‘'tones will break your bones, but
names will never hurt you.” But
names will hurt you. and we all must

Any American who uses his incog

dashes into his incog he is cheered.
Prince of Wales has strings of aliases

name it looks as if he had brought
Kang with him.
