R DRESDEN.

Quite an exciting time was ex-
perienced at a special meeting held by
the Dresden township school board at
Wales last Saturday for the purpose of
selecting teachers for the summer term.
All the patrons of what is known as the
Chase school were present at the meet
ing to ask for the re appointment
of their old teacher. Miss Pearl Fuller
ton for another term. Their request was
presented upon which it was ascertained
that she had accepted charge of another
school. Then followed quite a lively
time, the school board being unable to
persuade the patrons of the district to
accept the services of another teacher.
1t was finally arranged to have the mat
ter laid over until a meeting to be held
the following Wednesday evening, one
of the members of the school board be-
ing appointed to see Miss Fullerton in
the meantime and explain to her the
existing condition of affairs and report
the result of his interview at that meet
ing, The outcome is that Miss Fuller
ton has rendered her resignation of the
school which she had at first engaged to
teach and will resume her old position
as teacher of the Chase school. Since
coming to Cavalier county five years ago
Miss Fullerton has been engaged in
teaching continuously and holds as good
a record as any of our county educa-
tors and it is no wonder that the Chase
school of Dresden township is DESTROYS
of retaining her services. If a few more
districts would diplay a similar eager
ness in retaining a good teacher when
they have got one we would have better
schools and there would be far less
kicking done.

In every way superior to the home
grown product. The shipping Of
Strawberries to Canon City Is an ap-
parent paradox, or something like
carrying Goals to Newcastle. 1t only
happens in an OF year when the crop
here is a failure, or partially so. The

merson and Registry Clerk Robert F.
Backus this year, although they will
receive an advance twelve months
from now.
Hereafter, according to the postal
regulations, it will not be necessary
to attach the prescribed special de-
livery stamp to letter to secure it's
immediate delivery to the addressee
at its destination as has always been
the case. Stamps to the value of ten
cents Of whatever denomination. If
placed upon a letter marked special
delivery" will serve the same purpose,
provided it is in addition to the re-
gular postage. The special delivery
stamp will not be discontinued, but
will be issued as | nthe past to those
who desire it. The new regulation
is designed for the benefit of people
who live in villages and country dis
tricts where the special delivery
stamp is not always obtainable.
After next Monday the post office
authorities will charge fifty-four cents
for package of stamped envelopes,
instead of fifty-three cents as has
been the case heretofore This rule
applies to all offices in the United
States and is made to cover the cost
to the government of the increased
price of labor and material which en-
ter into their manufacture.

D0DOS COMMERCIAL COLLEGE
GRADUATES CLASS OF TWENTY
coy Splendid Address at the Presbyterian
Church-Salutatory and Vaedictory

who have filled a similar role at the
commencement season to say that Mr..
CarsOn's discourse was one of the
best of it's kind ever heard in Canon
City. He said that it was the custom
for the first speaker at class gradu-
alton to assure the audience how glad
it's members were to see so many of
their friends present and to receive
in return some sort of guarantee that
the compliment was reciprocateed.
Mr.. Carson's modest demeanor, sim
pie delivery and thorough mastery of
his subject, achieved for him a vic
tory OF which he may well be proud.
The class oration was delivered by
Rev. DR.. R. F. Coyle, pastor of the
congregation of the First Presbyter
ian church of Denver, and was one
of the most masterful and eloquent
discOurses ever listened to here on
commencement occasion. DR.. Coyle
was introduced to the audience by
Prof. Dodds in a few graceful sent
ences and he at once launched out
upon his address, the subject OF which
was, 81 Ought, I Can, l Will" Every
great movement having for it's object
Tic plo6i Coo anu SAdlldllOu VI lhC
human race Is dominated and urged
forward by the imperious Il Ought"
1t was behind our Revolutionary war;
it actuated Oliver Cromwell in the
establishment of commonwealth in
England. 1t was behind the Refor-
nation; it was behind the cursades
and impels men and women to do
heroic things for themselves and their
fellows.
Il Can" arises from a recognition
of duty and a consciousness of power
to do it. This realization of power
has led the world onward as nothing
else has done and has enabled hui
manity to reach the resolution, 81
Will" DR.. Coyle closed by saying,
Now abideth Can, Ought, and Will,
but the greatest of these three is will"
At the conclusion of DR.. Coyle's ad-
dress there was violin solo by Har-
old r. Weaber which was in turn
followed by the valedictory by Miss
jeanette Mcmillan, who had for her
subject the class motto, THE Higher
We Rise The Grander The View"
Miss Mcmillan is a pleasant speaker
and made a good impression on all.
who heard her.
Other numbers on the program was
the singing of THE FAIRIES Moonlight
Dance" by a quintette consisting Of
Misses Young, Worley and Gray and
Messrs. Dodds and Kirkton; the pre-
sentation of diplomas to the class
by Prof. Dodds; a piano duet by
Misses Whitmore and Gray and the
benediction by Rev. A. W. Henderson
of the Macon avenue Presbyterian
church.
The class roll is as follows:
Lena Cadwalader, Arthur A Carson,
Alma F. Harris, Harold r. Weaber,
