MASS MEETING TO BE HELD
IN GRANGE HALL MONDAY NIGHT
Commercial Club Asks Citizens to Come
Out and Help Plan for "Straw-
berry Day" Celebration.

The Commercial Club held theil
usual meeting last Monday night,
and after listening to the com.
mittee appointed to look into the
feasibility of holding a straw.
berry festival decided to call a
mass meeting next Monday night
at the Grange hall so that all the
citizens might be present and de-
eide on the question of holding a
celebration of some kind on or
about the 10th day of June.
All who were present were
strong in their convictions that
a strawberry day celebration
would be a great help in drawing
attention to the town and vicin.
ity. Probably better straw.
berries are not raised anywhere
in the world than in this vicinity
and the Wheat Ridge country
south of Arvada.
The intention is to have the
farmers and gardeners gather on
that day and place their berries
on exhibit and have q thousand
or more people come out from
Denver and other points in Col.
orado to see and sample our big
delicious strawberries.
If the business men and fruit
raisers will be present next Mon.
day night, and should decide t.
hold such a festival, nothing

The S. P. l. Club Party.

On Friday evening, May IL,
the S. P. l. club surprised Miss
Gladys Jarvis, who recently had
a birthday anniversary. The
club assembled at the home of
Mrs. Gertrude Cagley and at $50
went to the Jarvis home, where
they found Miss Gladys singing
as gayly as a lark, not suspecting
that such a misfortune (?) hung
over her.
The meeting was called to
order and the roll was called,
each one answering by a verse or
epigram. The Misses Smith
then played and sang Tell
Mother I'll be There" in a very
pleasing manner, which was en-
joyed by all. Games, charades,
etc., were indulged in, followed
by popular songs, Miss Ada Smith
playing the accompaniments.
The debate was postponed
until the next meeting, owing to
the indisposition of several men,
bers of the team.
Next came the class prophesy
given by Mrs. Cagley, which was
indeed well worth listening to.
Each member was given most
promising future, especially Miss
Jarvis, whom we expect to see
returning home from Europe in
1915 as the star in grand opera,
more famed than Melba or Patti.
Messrs. Edwin Doane, Carlos
Lercher, Joseph Clark and J. G..
Clayton were initiated as men,
bers, and after a bounteous re-
past, the club adjourned.
Misses Ethyl Martin, Dorothy
Newton, Ada and Myrtle Smith,
Ethel Swanson, Katherine Mitch
ell, Gladys Sanderson, Grace
Greene, Bessie Shaw, Mrs. Gag
ley, Messrs. Alben Swanson Mer-
ril Cook, Clinton and Homer
Rice, John and Carlos Lercher
and Harry Smith were present,

Father and l left Denver Feb
ruary 22nd, at 1915 p. M, tick
eted over the Denver and Fort
Worth R. R. via Houston, Texas,
for NewOrleans. We had, at that
time in Denver, some six inches
of snow, and when we got to
Trinidad, Colo, there was over
a foot of snow and the weather
was very cold.
Not having been through Texas
for a number of years, l was
very much interested in the de-
velopment that had undergone in
the western portion of Texas
since my previous trip. From
Texline to FortWo orth, the country
is we'll dotted with ranch houses
neatly built and mules and horses
in sight on every ranch, and ap-
parently, the country is peopled
with folk of our own color, a very
great contrast from the lower
central portion from Fort Worth
on, there the old tumble-down,
unpainted, no-barn plantation
darkey still appears to be very
much in evidence.
Our train was delayed by
reason of an engine getting off
the track west of Fort Worth,
and we made bad connection and

had to stay in Fort Worth over
night. When we arrived in
Houston the Mardi Gras was at
its height in New Orleans. We
boarded a heavy Pullman train
out of Houston in the evening,
due to arrive at New Orleans
early the next morning, but ow-
ing to the heavy train, and other
reasons, we were some four
hours late in getting into New
Orleans, and had, when arriving
there, just twenty minutes in
which to go up town and get our
tickets validated and take the
steamship, and five minutes after
we boarded the United Fruit
company's 5000 ton, 100 passen-
ger capacity steamship, we were
off for the tropics.
New Orleans, being situated
on the Mississippi ITO miles from
its mouth, of course our first
voyage was down this great
river. The river was very inter-
esting to me, being in most
places very wide and able to
carry the large ship. Along it's
banks and levees which prevent
the inundation of the surrounding
territory, fields that appeared to
US to be only covered with grass,

peared to form a part of this
wilderness of construction.
The question that at once con-
fronts you in looking at this i'm
mense amount of construction is,
how are you going to see it all?
Before starting for Panama, |
had received letters from some
of our members of Congress and
the Senate at Washington, to
Colonel Goethels, who is the big
man in the Zone and who might
be consistently termed the
'King'as one of theC congressman
saw fit to put it. Fortunately
for father and |, Colonel Goethels
happened to be a passenger on
the "Turialba" from New Or
leans to Colon. On the way !
became somewhat acquainted
with the colonel and presented
my letters to him. He stated
that he would be glad to assist
us in any way he could, and just
before leaving the ship at Colon,
he gave me a letter of introduc-
tion to Colonel Siebert, who was
in charge at Gatune, also a letter
to Major Wilson, who is in charge
at Christabel. Therefore the
problem of how to see this great
net work of construction at Ga
tune was very quickly solved.

The Grange Debate.


Tho Arvada grange and the
Wheat Ridge grange joined In .
debate at the Maple Grove school
house last Thursday evening.
The subject was: Resolved that
the conservation of the natural
resources of this country should
be left to the individual states
rather than to the Federal gov.
ernment." The affirmative was
taken by the Arvada grange rep-
resented by ]. F. White and o.
M. Louden. and the negative by
S. w. johnson. Fred Bunger and
H. N. Nulliet. Although the
negative side was debated with
considerable ability. the judges
decided in favor of the aAirma.
tive. The meeting WAS held at
one Of the regular sessions Of
the Maple Grove grange. and
was presided over by Worthy
Lecturer Swayze. The judges
were Messrs. Truelson and Lee
and Mrs. Everett.
These debates are educational
and helpful, giving the audience
the main points Of both sides Of
important questions.

we were told were rice fields.
Many little houses were along the
banks, set on stiles in the edge
of the water, the occupants of
which were engaged in the pro-
duction of the oyster.
One of the principal points of
interest before reaching the Gulf,
is the United States Quarantine
Station where all incoming ships
must stop and pass the Federal
inspection of health.
Passing on down the river, we
passed out into the Gulf just as
the sun went down, and conse-
quently saw but little more until
sunrise the next morning. At
1.OOa. M, we sighted cape San
Antonio on the coast of Cuba,
also sighted land on the coast of
the British Honduras; at Swan
Island our ship anchored and de-
livered a passenger and supplies
for some of the occupants of the
island. Some three or four
points of land were merely
sighted on the voyage, and after
a four and a half days voyage we
arrived at Colon, Panama, which
is in the Atlantic end of the
canal.
Arriving as we did, early in
the morning, we apparently had
the day before us, everyone
eager to see something Of the
wonderful work that is in pro-
gress. The Panama railroad is
some so miles long, running from
Colon to the city of Panama the
Pacific end of the canal. This
railroad is owned and operated
by the United States government
and gives US a nice taste of the
government ownership oper-
ated railroad. They charge
about the same and render about
the same service as the corpor-
ations.
From Colon we bought tickets
to Gatune, which is the point
where the construction of the
wonderful Gatune Dam is under
way. This dam in some ways
resembles our Stanley Lake dam,
as it is lis feet high where the
Stanley Lake dam is 113 feet.
The Gatune dam is one and
an eighth miles long, which is
somewhat similar to the length
of the Stanley Lake dam, how
ever, they differ very materially
in width as the Gatune dam is
375 feet wide at the IS feet ele-
vation, which is about the high
water line. In the western por-
tion of the dam is a spill-way to
regulate the turbulent waters of
of the Chagres river, and near
the center of the dam are the
Gatune locks which consist of
six Tor rather three double)
locks, each lock is 100 feet
wide and 1000 feet long, and
each pair of locks will serve
to raise or lower the largest ship
that has so far been built in the
world, So feet and a fraction per
lock.
The canal up to this point,
from the Atlantic side, is at sea
level, then when raised the eighty
five feet by means of the three
locks. the ships will then be in
the lake created by the construc-
tion Of the Gatune dam across
the Chagres river which then
gives the ships clear sailing for
some thirty odd miles to the
south toward Panama,
On alighting from the train at
Gatune, the eye beheld what
seemed to be a wilderness of in
tense construction, consisting of
everything imaginable that
might be used in that line, steam
shovels loading dump cars in

Things The Paper Don't Say

The following from an exchange was evidently written by some
one who speaks from experience
editing a newspaper in some respects is a good deal like
preaching the gospel-truth must be presented in the form Of gen.
eralies or some fellow will get hit and howl Few people like
truth, even the homeopathic doses, if it hits him. But while
preachers crticise editors for what they say, no one thinks of giving
them credit for what they do not say. Yet what they keep to them
selves constitutes the major portion of what they know about
people.
avery many people harbor the belief that newspapers are eager
to publish derogatory things. 1t is a mistake. There isn't a news
paper that couldn't spring a sensation in the community at any
time by merely telling what it knows There is not a newspaper
that does not keep under the lock Of secrecy scores of derogatory
things which never meet the public eye or reach the public ear.
paper work.
"The many good stories suppressed because OF innocent rela-
tives and for the good of the public. nobody outside of Il news
paper Office has any way of knowing.
"In some cases he who flies into a passion because a news
paper prints something about him which he considers uncompli-
mentary has every reason to feel profoundly grateful to the news
paper for publishing so little of what it knows about him. And
ofHimes the very loudest blnfer is the most vulnerable to attack
A big noise is often a device employed to cover trepidation.
Newspapers put up with more blufing than any other agency
would endure. 1t is not because they lack courage; it is because
they are unwilling to use their power to destroy or ruin unless the
interest Of society imperatively demands it.
ut might be well for some people to reflect upon these truths
and in silent gratitude accept mild admonition lest worse beial."

The Standpat Fighter

There never was more than one General Grant He may have
had prototypes in various epochs of the worlds history, bat the
story Of the ages brings forth no character to parallel that OF this
quiet little man, who, in the declining years of the great val OF the
rebellion, sent the dispatch to Washington as his lines of battle lay
at Spottsylvania Court House, that II propose to fight it out along
this line If it takes all Summer" He did fight it out along that
line, he was the victor ultimately. and til a tribute to the conf
dence Abraham Lincoln felt in him that he declined to listen to the
which General Grant understood far better than they did at
Washington
Grant was a standpat fighter, but they are few. So many mark
out for themselves a line of campaign, pursue il for a time, and II
it does not bring results, they experiment in another direction with
another policy, fearing to trust their own judgment
Grant never compromised with the enemy; fearless and un-
afraid, he followed the definite line of his policy, until the enemy
abandoned its attempts and retreated permanently OF surrendered
In the hour of victory be was merciful and just His reply to
Lee when the confederate commander-in-chief inquired whether his
men would have to give up their horses, at the time Of the sur
render, has become an integral part of American history. "No.
replied Grant, "et them keep their horses They will need them
on their farms when they get home"
But Grant was never s magnanimous to an enemy in arms
or a n enemy who was merely seeking for time to renew the fight
along other lines. An enemy in arms. an enemy with power of
resistance in him, was something to be beaten. Once beaten. and
the cause which that enemy espoused scattered to the four winds
Grant freely and gladly forgave, and used his influence to better
conditions.
The enemy who battles for years, then comes forward with
the olive branch, may be met halfway, but no closer than that
When your enemy is beaten and his potentiality for mischief has
been removed, forgive freely. But before you shake hands with
him, search him for weapons. 1t is the safe way. Be a standpatI
