AN EhTERPRISING AND
SUCCESSFUL WOMAN

Mrs. Kate B. Hills Polhemus is
spending the holidays at her home in
this city after several months of high
ly successful work as special organiz-
er for the Women of Woodcraft in dis
tric. number three, which embraces a
large part of the eastern portion of
the state. The splendid results OF her
endeavors in behalf of the Women of
woodcraft is not surprising to those
familiar with her energy, intelligence,
skill and diplomacy; qualities that
win in the face of the most determin-
ed opposition.
Mrs. Polhemus was for many years
one of the most popular and deserving
teachers il the public schools of this
county and her friends here are le-
gion. She resided for many years in
Leadville and is almost as well
known there as she is here. and the
admirers Of her superior qualities of
head and heart are hardly less num-
erous IL that section Of Colorado than
they are in Arkansas valley. There
is no such word as "fail" in her yo-
cabulary. and she does things with II
directness and enthusiasm that
brushes aside all possible defeat of
her enterprises.
In choosing Mrs. PoIhemus as a
special organizer the Women of Wood
craft have made no mistake, indeed,
we doubt IL better selection could
have been made had the entire mem
bership of the order been canvassed to
find woman OF pre-eminent capabil-
tiles. In consequence of her famil-
larity with the task to be accomplish
ed. coupled with her excellent judg-
ment and good sense, II is safe to say
that the organization OF the Women OF
woodcraft is destined to rapidly In
crease in membership and influence In
the territory assigned to her for evan
gelization.

These men had found a motor boat

came aware of its whereabouts and
suspected Hinton and Gibbs OF having
stolen the craft. He took the matter
before the states attorney and they
