|GANDERBONE'S FORECASTS
FOR JULY


scarcely worth elaboration. II we
could shoot like that in only decent
celebration of what some friends OF
liberty long laid upon the shelf, once
did for us, what would we do for lib
erty itself?
This will be about the last year
that the Fourth of July will be OBJ
served to any great extent. Fireworks
are already forbidden in many cities,
and within another year the move
ment will probably have spread wher-
ever parents desire to preserve their
children. There is, in fact, a much
better day in the month which can be
observed without injury to anyone
and to much better purpose. This is
ST. Swithin's Day, which. comes on
the 18th. The object of st. Swithin's
Day is a concerted prayer for rain,
and if the prayer is answered 1t Is
supposed to rain for the next 40 days.
Wherever St. Swithin's has been OBJ
served in this country, 1t has already
become a formidable rival of the
Fourth. Indeed. it is said that they
do not compare for enthusiasm, which
is not surprising, for as a rule what
we really need in this country. in July
is rain, and not liberty at a..-
After the 22d the month will be
under the influence of Leo the Lion.
the fifth sign of the zodiac, and day
or so later it will also come under
the influence of Sirius the Dog. which
begins rising with the sun and ushers
in the Doy Days. While Leo the Lion.
Sirius the Dog and Teddy the Bear
are settling it among themselves.
congress and pretty n early every
thing else will adjourn to its hole and
occupy itself with prayer and an oc.
casional peek out.
And then for there about the morSzn
OF August will be due,
And the wicked get a warning taste

COMMENCEMENT ExERCIBES
OF DODDs COMERCIAL
COLLEGE LAST NIGHT

From Fridays Dai1y. -
The commencement exercises OF the
graduating class OF Dodds CONNER
cial college took place at the First
Presbyterian church last night in the
presence OF large gathering OF the
friends OF tina institution. The pro-
gram was an interesting one and its
rendition ELECTED the utmost attention
OF all present.
Only three members of the class
were participants in the exercises:
Will H. Biddall, salutatorian, Miss
Jessie w. Emmerson. pianist. and
Miss M. Ella Davis, valedictorlan. In
an easy. unaffected manner, Mr.. Bid
dali delivered a thoughtful and care
fully prepared oration on the class
motto, "He, Who Endures. Conquers."
receiving at its close well merited
applause. AS a pianist, Miss Emmer-
SON has distinct talent and her play
ing was enjoyed by all who he ard 1t.
Miss Davis also made an excellent
Impression and was rewarded by the
DIauQ1tS OF I0e dSbeIHUldEc.
The annual class address was made
by L. L. Thomas, formerly pastor OF
the Methodist church at Salida. but
now engaged In the real estate bus!-
ness on the western slope. Mr.. Thorn
as is fluent speaker and made one
of the best talks ever heard on a sim
liar occasion. His subject was
"Spunkwood" and the deductions he
made were at once pertinent and use
full In the presentation of diplomas
to the graduates, Prof. Dodds stated
that It was a matter of pride for him
to introduce the class to the public
as Its members had established a new
record in everything that pertains to
their studies. They had conquered
the tasks set before them and were
fitted to enter upon tn duties OF a
business career as bookkeepers and
accountants and as typists and ste
nographers. II was in some respects
the most notable class OF young men
and young women ever turned out by
the college and he predicted for Its
members useful lives.
Other features OF the program were
the singing of Where Blooms the
Rose" by Miss Helen sartor. one Of
the most popular OF Canon City's vo-
calfsts. and the musical selections
rendered by Sullivan's orchestra. Tho
