On Thursday evening, May 27,
AZ s p. m, the Commencement
exercises will be held at the Bap-
tist Church. Admission will be
by ticket
There are twenty-four people
in our graduating class this year.
and everyone knows that the
seating capacity of all halls in
Arvada are rather limited in size.
The Baptist Church being the
largest for seating capacity, and
it seats not quite three hundred.
We have one-hundred and nine
in high school now, and the plat
form can not possibly hold all
these, so some will have to be
seated on the main floor.
BY giving each member of the
class ten or twelve tickets the
house will be practically filled, so
if any one feels disappointed by
not getting an invitation, they
will know the reason. Most as
suredly. we would be pleased be-
yond measure. if we only had a
place large enough to accommodate
the people. Will some one arise
with suggestion to overcome
the difficulty?
DR.. Charles l.. Mead, pastor of
Trinity M. Il. Church, Denver,
will give the Class address.

ing the unfavorable weather.
w. P. Greene and his helpers
has about completed the concrete
floor for the working room, Pre-
vett & Bennett have completed
the spraying of the walls and the
plastering is nearing completion.
About the middle of next week
will see the building ready to oc.
cupy. No doubt there will be
some delay on the shipment of
the machinery from Akron, Ohio,
as there nearly always is, but all
things being equal, another thir-
tr days should see the plant in
operation. President Clark is
greatly pleased with the way
things are going and basing his
judgment upon reports from ov-
er the state the Arvada Dry Gil
mate Tires will have a ready
market. He has plans in view
for still greater improvements on
the factory site, which he thinks
will follow closely on the heels of
the beginning of operations.
The main thing, now, however,
is to get to manufacturing tires
and getting them on the market
and the other necessary addi.
tions to the plant will be easily
taken care of. 90
As we have said before, we be-
lieve the proposition to manufac.
ture tires and sell them here in
Denver is most feasible and
with proper management, the
Arvada industry should grow
like a green bay tree.

Commercial Club
Holds Meeting.

The Arvada Commercial Club
met Monday evening. Altho the
attendance was not as it should
have been several important
matter were discussed and much
interest was shown. The Good
Roads Committee reported that
they had succeeded in getting
the ear of the County Commiss-
toner's with reference to gravel
ing and otherwise improving
Wadsworth avenue north of
town. A communication was
read from a committee appointed
by the governor in the statewide
movement to have a pay up
week" " The object of having Il
pay up week" all over Colorado
is to put money into circulation
and create a wave of prosperity.
There are many men out of en-
loyment because many of the
channels of trade are blocked by
too much credit. With everyone
paying up at a given time bust
ness would take new life and ex-
pansions would be made which
would give employment to many
who are now idle.
The members of the CONNER
clal Club decided that Arvada
should do its share in contribut-
ing to the states general good
and in doing so would help itself.
Messrs Juchem and Recht We're
appointed as a committee to call
on the buiness men and get each
one to insert a request in their
advertisements for a settling up
of old accounts. The plan is "a
good one and would create a
much better feeling all around.
In fact the EDITOR could use a
few dollars still due on subscrip-
tions, to a good advantage.
Mr.. Recht was made a com
mittee of one to see if he could
not borrow a sprinkling cart
from Denver for use this SUNNI
er. which would be a fine thing.
Plans were also discussed for a
strawberry day about June 10Th.
and committee composed of
A. L. Davis,J. G. Orr and Chas.
Nc Fadden was appointed to see
the Tramway and see if they
would contribute toward the
expenses, as it would mean big
business for them.
Saturday, May 22d, to and in
cluding Saturday, May 10Th has
been designated as "pay-up
week" all over the state.
Mr.. Staley reported that the
committee on freight rate dis
elimination had been led to be-
lieve that the matter would be
looked into at once by the state
commission.

Dry Climates Slaughter
Their Opponent,

The Arvada Dry Climates just
simply slaughtered the D. & F. 8
ball team last Sunday in a walk
away of SO to 8. The visitors
were not in their class at all,
either for lack of practice or Or
ganization and they soon realized
that they were up against the
wrong bunch. On the other
hand it was a good practice game
for the Dry Climates, as they
had a chance to hit the ball al
most any time they wanted to
and they were equally certain
that if they did drive it to the
outfield it was good for three
bases or a home run, as nearly
always there was nobody there"
To say the least our boys de-
serve great credit. Ernest Spen-
Ger, Louis Miller and Gus Graf
played with the Dry Climates,
which gave the home team a
semblance of two years ago.
Spencer pulled off his rushing
stunt and got the visitors SO rat
tied they scarcely knew where
they were at.
Willie Greene did some feature
work at catching and batting al.
so and all the boys showed mark.
ed improvement. Perhaps a few
triumphs like Sunday and the
proceeding one. when they licked
the stuffing ont of the Bon l
Looks team, will put-a little pep
into them and give them more
self confidence. We believe they
have it in them If they just think

their behavior.

Splendid School En-
tertainment.

Splendid School En-
tertainment.
A splendid school entertain
ment was given at District No.
IL school last Friday evening,
which was largely attended and
greatly enjoyed.
The entertainment was in hon.
or of the graduation exercises
and close of the school term.
Miss Addie Emma Moore was
the only graduate from the eigh-
tn grade, and being less than
thirteen years old, she has car
ried off the second highest hon.
ors in Jefferson county, another
little Miss in. district 80, being
the highest in her grades.
Miss Bunger, county superin-
tendent, paid Miss Moon the
compliment of coming over from
her home on Wheatridge to wit
ness her graduation. In her re-
marks Miss Bunger spoke of No.
IL as being one of the best
schools in the county and compli-
mented the board and Miss Jes-
sic Griffith, the teacher, in the
highest terms.
The entertainment was given
by the school and was so much
enjoyed by those present that
Miss Griffith was highly praised
for its success. as it indicated a
great deal of hard work on the
part of both teacher and pupils,
as we'll as the hearty cooperation
of the parents.
Perhaps the leading features
of the entertainment were the
flag drill by the little girls and
the minstrel by the boys, which
were excellent.
At the close of the program
the school board members, Mes
srs. Adolph and Joseph Schoech
and Enoc West were called on
for remarks and expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the
work of the school this year. In
this connection it might be said
that Miss Griffith has been retain-
ed for another year at an in
creased salary.
Ice cream and cake were serv-
ed to about one-hundred and fif-
ty people at the close of the ex-
ercises.
Mrs. j. P. Giltner was quite
badly hurt last Friday evening
in an accident. Mr.. and Mrs.
Giltner and Misses Martha Ran
son and Pearl Anderson were in
a market wagon on their way to
grange. They went by for Mr..
Carpenter and turned into his
lane, AS the wagon turned one
front wheel ran into a rut and
it tipped over throwing the occu.
pants out. Mrs. Giltner sus.
tained a badly sprained ankle
and a cash on her head. The
young ladies' escaped with a few
scratches and slight bruises.
The team was frightened and
started to run, but were stopped
before any damage was done.
Mrs. Giltner will be laid up for
some time.

The Deerskin Coat.

Readers who enjoyed "An Undesirable
Garment" printed in The Companion for
December oath, will read with interest
this true story, in which the trouble max
ing coat was made of deerskin instead Of
bearSkin.
Hall century ago, man named Ma
poleon Marsh lived in Tyler County, West
Virginia. One fall this man bought from
hunter very handsome deerskin, from
which he determined 10 have coat made.
Not long after the coat was finished, Mr..
Marsh had occasion TO 60 10 Marietta,
Ohio, and as the weather was severe
when he started, he wore the new deer
skin coat.
He rode horseback as far as Saint
Marys, which is about eighteen miles
above Marietta on the Ohio River, and
then took a steamboat for Marietta. After
attending 10 his business, he decided TO
walk back TO Saint MaryS instead Of wait
ing for the return boat. II was bright,
crisp day, and all went well until he had
gone within a mile or two OF the landing
opposite Saint Marys. Then he began 10
hear the distant baying OF hounds. AT
first Napoleon thought nothing OF 1t, for
hunting was then favorite sport in the
Ohio valley, and the country was full OF
hunting dogs. The hounds came nearer
and nearer, and al last three or four broke
out through the underbrush into the road
and ran up 10 Napoleon. He was long
fond OF telling what happened then, in
very nearly these words:
al had on my deerskin coat. ! hollered
to the dogs and tried 10 drive them off,
but they wouldn't leave ne. When !
turned round toward them they would
stop and sniff the air as if they were snit-
fling at fox. When turned and started
I'D the road toward the river, The hounds
came closer, and one OF the peSky things
came up close enough TO bite me, and did
actually snap at me.
"Then says TO myself, Napoleon, you
are in for it; you had better take 10 your
heels took off my coat, and that
seemed 10 make the hounds madder than
ever. The faster ran the closer they
kept TO me, and if ever fellow ran,
certainly did, with those coniounded
hounds right at my heels, and trying TO
get hold OF the coat. holered for help,
and some men who were working in a
field came TO my help. When the men
came up, the hounds sat down all round
me and growled; one old, lop-eared
fellow kept walking round me and growl-
ing.
Zone of the ~ said TO me, Let me
see your coat lie looked at il; then he
said, Tll tel you what is the matter
those hounds think you are deer. Your
coat wasn't tanned right. It's got the
deer smell in it STILL II is wonder they
did not kill you
al said, Boys, you keep them blamed
hounds off OF me until get TO the ferry,
and will never cross The Ohio River
with this coat again. The men laughed.
and got to the river as fast as ] could

in the attic, end never wore il any more"

Concrete Highways.

The tremendous strides which have
been taken in concrete road construction
during the past few years are strikingly
shown by the figures given below. Spe-
cial attention can be drawn to the record
in the State OF Maryland, and that Of Mil
waukee county in the State OF Wisconsin.
This matter is brought specially 10 Our
attention by an interview with Mr.. Loring
A. Cover, president OF the Security Ce-
ment and Lime Company, Hagerstown,
Maryland, who has just returned from a
visit to Milwaukee in company with other
cement manufacturers to inspect the con-
crete roads in that vicinity. Milwaukee
county is establishing one ofthe best con-
crete road systems in the country, which
promises TO become as noted as that OF
Wayne county, Michigan. The State Of
MARYLAND is also becoming famous tor
this high type ofroad which il has adopted
as its standard.
The great advantage OF this type OF road
is not only IFS smooth surface but IFS ever
lasting qualities, even under heaviest traf-
fic, especially automobile traffic. II is so
far The only type OF road in use which
seems to be proof against the disintegra-
ting tendencies Of the automobile. The
cost Of upkeep on this type Of road will
be practically nothing for number Of
years. The resisting power OF The con-
crete road TO severe traffic has been Illus
trated in the Milwaukee district and, also,
in the State OF Maryland by the move
ment over the road Of number OF large
traction engines on iron wheels with cleats,
these engines bearing heavily loaded wag-
ons which were also on iron wheels.
II is safe TO say that additional roads OF
this type are going 10 be constructed TO
the sections in which they have been
started as fast as money can be secured
TO build them. The first cost OF the con-
crete road is slightly higher than that OF
the best type of machine road, but far
cheaper in the long run.
Referring TO the data following, the
State Of Maryland has decreased ifs con-
crete road construction only because The
total appropriation by the last Legislature
has been exhausted, and there is cry
arising all over the State for additional
appropriations for these roads. The sec
tons OF the State which are not enjoying
the blessings ofgood roads are commend
ably Jealous OF the more favored sections,
and are going TO demand their rights.
