A GOLDEN GIFT
The Childrens Operetta at the
Public School Friday after
noon

The little folks in Miss Fonda's de-
partment at the public school presented
one of the prettiest oprettas or last
Friday afternoon that it has ever been
our privilege to witness.
A bard of children with school duties
over are on a picnic, the girls with
lunch BASKETS and the boys with fish
ing rods. They meet Father Time"
who tells them that golden day is
happy day" but when asked how to
to keep it bright answers ''ye must
find the way" and the children search
for the secret in songand story. The
Sunbeams" come along and tell how
they keep the days golden by carry
ing brightness everywhere. "West
Wind" tells the children Its while I'm
helping others l find tine brightest
day. ''Four Butterilys" next appear
and tell how they by helping Others
"find our days most sweet "The
Bundle Bees" then declare that "a
busy day is a golden day and the
children have their lurch. Father
Time" again appears and ais "Vesper"
instructing him to ''go ring thy even
ing bells" Twilight Hour" is sum
moned and is told to Light each star
lamp in the Sky. A chorus of child
ren on cloudships next appear who are
welcomed by Father Time and who
tell how they have each tried to make
the Gay pleasant and "Curfew'' is in
strusted to bring ''dream bags" which
Father Time" presents to each child.
The children bid Father Time good
bye and close the Operetta by singing
Love makes the Golden Day.
The pen is inadequate to. paint a
picture of a Chidren's Operetta. The
children themselves with a aetermra-
to do their best is picture no artist
can successfully paint and then try to
add the music, the costumes and the
eager animated faces Of the little actors
and the pen completely fails but We
have done our best to tell those who
were not in attendance what beauti-
full entertainment they missed Friday
afternoon and the only criticism we
have TO offer is that the Operetta was
not staged in the Opera House where
many more would have witnessed it.
The teachers work in our Publicschoo
has been par-eNcellent the past year
and this is but one of the many In
stances that our children are receiving
the very best instruction possible

Whereas, it is fitting that these nat
ural wonders and pleasures to be found

Accidentally we visited the session of
the Town Council on last Monday night
and from what we heard ard saw at
this meeting we are Convinced that
julesburg is to have a real business
administration during the incumbency
of the present Council and Mayor We
are sure that Mr. kinsman intends to
give everyone 4 square deal but at the
same time he proposes to see that the
town gets value received for every dol
lar that they expend. The usual num-
Der of bills were before the Council for
their action and while we believe that
these bills We're all regular md that
no one intends to get anything from
the town without it is due them, still
the ruling of the Mayor that all bills
must pass through the Finance Com
mittees hands before being passed on
by the Council will insure the town of
square deal and vii! also ward off
any criticism that any members Of the
council are playing anything but a
fair game Another matter for which
Mr.. Kinsman deserves credit is the
statement he made that he expected to
see that anyone working for the To NJ
would give value received the same as
if they wsre working for an individual.
This sort Of an admins tration is one
that will find a hearty support from
every LOYAL citizen.

To Keep Dust Down

There has been some talk Of try
ING cut plan Of keeping down
the dust on our streets in some
Other way than by sprinkEing. 1t
has been suggested that Cedar
Street from the First National Bank
corner to the Citizens National
Bank corner be graded. graveled
and oiled but some of the towns
IN Northern Colorado are using or
contemplating using beet syrup to
keep down the dust. Eaton Colo
RADIO Lave already used this plan
and III a recent dispatch to ore of
the Denver papers say: In spite
of the hard wind that blew yes
terday the streets upon which beet
syrup has been sprinklcd in the
last few days were without dust.
We understand the Sugar Factory
at Greeley has offered that city as
much syrup as they wish to use to
try the experiment. We believe
this idea is worth investigating
mt least.

Today the white carnatioa,
The emblem of the pure,
Is worn by all our nation
In love that shall endure.
For this is Mothers day,
And while we sing and pray,
Sweet memories hover round us
Of home and Mothers Day.
We thank God for the Mothers;
For many precious years
They soothed our cares and sorrows,
Our childish griefs and fears;
For this is Mothers Day,
And while we sing and pray,
Sweet memories hover round US
OF home and Mothers Day.
For those vino still are with us
To guide us in life's way;
For those who've gone before us
Give thanks this mothers day.
For this is Mothers day,

Sweet memories hover round us
Of home and Mothers Day.
And when our journeys ended,
When we are called away,
Wen ioin them in the Homeland
And still have Mothers Day.

NOT DRAWN FROM FLOWERS
Perfumes Today Are Extracted From
Almost Everything but Seemingly
Natural Source.

There are few perfumes today that
cannot be made from chemicals,
synthetically, as the chemists call it.
Formerly al perfumes were extracted
from flowers, fruits, spices, woods or
other vegetable and animal sub
stances. The first perfume to be imi.
tated was vanilla, in 1876. Heliotropine
followed, but obtained by oxidation
Of a by-product Of camphor.
Terpinol is one of the most freely
used constituents OF perfumes. This is
near relation of turpentine. With

PLAN A PERPETUAL CALENDAR
All Nations to Unite In Working Out
an Idea Long In Minds of
Many.

A conference of all nations will be.
held next summer at Geneva, Switzer-
land to discuss suggestions for an in
ternational perpetual calendar. At that
time Leroy s. Boyd will present his
calendar, which has 13 months of 2s
days each, making total of 364 days
in the year. The 365th day is not in
cluded in any month, but will precede
the first day of January and will be
called New Years day. A similar ar
rangement is made for leap years. The
366th day is not counted in any month,
but follows the last day of December
and is called Leap Year day. The ad-
ditional month is called Solaris, and
comes between June and July. AS an
Illustration, the year 1916 is used, be-
cause, according to the present calen-
dar the first day Of that year will be-
gin on Saturday, which would become
New Years day under the perpetual
calendar That would make the fol-
lowing day, Sunday, be known as Jan.
1, 1916. Every month would have the
same number of days and every month
and every week would begin on Sun
day and end on Saturday. That would
make the same date in each month
fall on the same day Of the week.
Such perpetual calendar would make
it unnecessary to have printed cal
en6ar for every month, because the
days of each month are identical with
those of the first month. One of the
benefits expected to result from per-
petual calendar is that it will facili-
tate business calculations. Under the
new system a month will mean ex-
actly % days and not 80 or 81 days.

All were covered with snow. Several
old sailors approached the berg as
near as they dared to and scanned
the ships through powerful glasses,
