We believe that some excellent
work is being done in the grades
and those people who are inclined to
think there are too many after
hours will appreciate the self-sacri-
fcing work those same teachers are
doing later. The hardest part of
the work is in bringing the young
sters up to grade once they have
slipped behind somewhat. 1t may
be a little hard now but later it
will be far easier to keep those same
youngsters in school when they are
even with the work Of the course.
All the building papers say that
frame buildings will be cheaper next
season than they have been for sew
eral years and probably building
material of all kinds will be cheaper
than it will be again for many years.

another lady in the background our
skepticism was cured. Mrs. Fred
couldn't tell a crooked story or
vouch for one, and the record stands
approved.

DENVER WELCOMED w. c T. u.
Notes from the Report of Mrs. Lola
Chddderdon, Delegate

Mrs. Chadderdon, delegate to the
N. w. C. T. U. convention held at
Denver, gave a splendid report of
the same, in the parlor of the Pres
byterian church to large audience
of ladies one result being the addi-
ion of three new members, to aid
in this great reform. Denver she
described as a fine city, with 1872
churches, 65 graded schools, and
7. M. c. A. building that cost $780,
600. In Colorado women have
full vote, and are proud of the fact.
They wore yellow badges and in a
conspicuous place a large yellow sa-
tin banner stood, bearing the in
scription Colorado women are citi-
zens." They have done much to
help place reformatory laws on the
statute books. Many of them open
their parlors and dining rooms as
voting places, thus withdrawing the
polls from the saloon and slum dis
tricts.
We can only pick few sentences
here and there from this most in
spring report of large and en-
thusiastic gathering. One speaker
said, after the passage of the pro-
hibition law in Oklahoma. twenty
eight thousand barrels of beer were
dumped in the streets of Oklahoma
City. The governor of Colorado
was the first to welcome the conven-
ton to Denver. He said, "You are
the women who have heard the cry
Of the world because of strong drink
and he quoted and endorsed the
statement of the Sunday-school boy,
who when questioned about the Gre
alton of man, said, God made
man. and then took his brains and
made woman" The pastor who
voiced the welcome of the churches
said. Victory over the liquor
traffic is not yet complete, but work
on and you will surely WIN" We
have the assurance that if we reach
up as far as we can to God, He will
reach down the rest of the way"
Mrs. Halister president of the Colo
RADIO Federation of Women's clubs,
spoke gracious words of welcome.
She said, "All women clubs are the
ultimate outgrowth of the w. C..
T. u; your example awoke a
desire in us to do something, and we
are now all working with you for
uplift of humanity and the closest
relationship should exist between US.
That the w. C. T. u. women are
brave and persistent in their work
was shown by a lady from Virginia,
who said. hundreds Of women were
at the polls in the recent campaign,
and a saloon keeper was appointed
a special policeman. He said he
would stampede them and he
brought large rat in a sack and
turned it loose among them. 1t
ran up the skirt Of one woman; she
shook it off; another women stepped
upon it, there was stampede.
