The Midget Wedding,

The immense crowd at the Methodist
church last evening attesled the hearty
appreciation and interest felt for the en-,
tertainment bv the little folks. The in
terest was not misplaced for from be
ginning to END the affair was entertain
Ing in the highest degree.
The midget wedding was really the
specially of the evening and 1t was a
specially. All of the actors in the
charming little comedy acquitted them
selves with credit, and they we'll merited
the encore which compelled them to
repeat second time the entire per.
formance. The little ones that took
part in this portion of the program were:
Bride-Helen Giller.
Groom-Barton Casaday. -
Father of Bride-Alva Paddock.
Mother of Brlde-Elinore Brown.
Maid of Honor-Bessie NicholsoneZ
Bridesmaids Pauline Mckenzie, Bes.
sic Johnson, Mildred Harding, Phebe
Metcalf, Esther Osborne.
Groonsmen-Leo Wills, Guy Mason,
Milton Wolf, Carl Griffin, Chauncey
Frazier.
Best Man-Ernest Wylam.
Minlster-Charles Payne.
Flower Girls-Ellnore Giller and Nina
johnson.
The remainder of the program was
well received throughout, and included
some of Boulder's well known vocalists.
Where all did so well it is very difficult
to particularize, though perhaps Floyd
Davis in his comical little songs de-
served special credit.
The Boulder audiences rarely have
an opportunity to witness a more
charming entertainment.

get representation on the board. Long
mont is out of it: jamestown and the
northern part of the county are out
Lower Boulder and the coal camps are
not in it. There should be, a way ol
remedy,ng the evil. 1t might be good
idea to cut the salaries of the commits
sioners to 50 per day, and have five Of
them. How about it. people?
