100 Years Ago, for the fourth week of May 1921, from the pages of the Greeley Tribune-Republican newspaper:
Colorado Gov. Shoup signed a bill that requires all teachers in the state to be loyal to the government. This means they must lead the Pledge of Allegiance to the classroom flag every morning with their classes.
In Missouri, a 13-year-old girl was arrested for shooting her 6-year-old stepchild. The child-bride said “I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Now, boys! If you are going fishing Saturday, stop by Worrell-Thompson Hardware: bamboo fishing poles, 20 cents to 35 cents each.
The Quad Club at Greeley High School held its election this week. The new President of the club is John Allnutt.
Ad: Why wear wiry whiskers? The Tarantella is the universal safety razor blade sharpener. It makes shaving a pleasure instead of a dreaded task. Sharpens old and new razor blades.
In Longmont an 11-month-old boy was supposed to be asleep in his bed, but he crawled out of his window, fell to a roof below, then fell off the roof onto the ground. Despite having two 10-foot falls, the boy was not inured and was laughing when his worried mother ran out to pick him up.
Greeley Police Chief Florance announced that at the end of this week, police court will have “Dog Days,” because so many residents have been ticketed for owning a dog without a city license.
The Presidential Yacht “Mayflower” was sighted 60 miles north of Cape Charles, Va. Yesterday at noon. President Harding had several friends on board for a party.
A great exodus from Greeley to the hills will begin early tomorrow morning when Fishing Season officially opens. While some will be fly fishing, most of the fishermen and women will be carrying worms.
In Kersey, the Swastika Club had their annual dinner. The table was attractively decorated with pink baskets.
Mauri Perkins and Joseph Mortimer confessed to their friends and family on Friday that they are married. They got married in February, but kept it a secret for three months. She is a teacher and he is a mail carrier.
A 21-year-old Greeley man who said he was carrying magazine subscription cards in his suitcase and selling them door-to-door, was stopped by La Salle police when he got off the train. They searched his suitcase and found 21 pints of illegal booze, which he was selling door-to-door.
