THE DENHAM.

Father and the Boys which i to be
siven at the D,nhain next week, l. i
chsrming play, admirably suited to this
Thanksgiving and Christmas season. 1t
iairly bubbles with gentle sentimen; and
that tender family affection which aP-
reals to all humanity.
The scene is laid in England and
treats of misunderstanding. and then the
pleasant reconciliation between the
father and the boys 1t was first pro-
duced in this country by Mr.. Crane and
achieved most decided success. 1t was
everywhere hailed as a play OF unusual
bcanty--of heart interest and filial re-
spect.
Father aud the Boys" gives oppor-
tunity for some fine acting which We
may be sure viii be taken ample adj
vantage of by the very adequate Den
ham company. 1t also gives chance
Tor some unusual stage effects, and that
MIR. Woodward will put il on with de-
cided stage craft is certain, and, by the
way. there is quite y wonderful attrac-

thing that will delight and immensely
please the large and devoted Dcnham's

WILL Be Big TIME
Missouri City Preparing to Entertain
Printers Conference, and 1t Is Ru-
mored That There VIII Be Something
Doing All the Time.

The editor is in receipt of a personal
letter from an old-time friend who is
now located in Joplin. slo., James J.
Murray, for a number of years in Den
yer, member OF Typogra aphical Union No.
40 and generally prominent in the labor
movement.
Friend Murray is boosting the Mis-
sour valley Typographical Conference,
which Is to be held in Joplin beginning
the third Monday in January, 1916, and
extends an invitation to the writer to be
present and address the conference.
1t i unfortunate for the editor that
he cannot accept. There are many rea-
sons, but the main one il the distance
and lack of proper means OF transpor-
tation facilities, so will have to content
myself by sending letter OF regret.
This conference promises to be very
important and is mighty good thing
for the printers. The Missouri Valley
organization embraces the states OF Mis-
sour, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and
North and South Dakota. Extensive
preparations are being made to properly
entertain the many expected visitors,
and the third session OF the Grand and
Noble Order OF Tom Cats will be held
at the same time This latter organiza-
tion furnishes the real amusement fea-
tures OF the convention.
The writer is truly sorry that he can
not participate in all the doings and
hope they have pleasant and profit
able session.

HENRY FORD CONGRATULATED
BY DENVER SINGLE TAKERS

Complimenting Henry Ford upon his
activities against preparedness, and
praising his efforts to help pring about
peace in Europe, Denver Single Takers
sent the following letter today:
~Mr. Henry Ford, Detroit Michigan.
Dear Sir: The Colorado Single Tax
Association desires to send beartiest con-
gratulations to you upon the splendid
example of good citizenship that you
have sent to other men OF wealth and
| influence.
I'VE are grateful. to you for spurnine
the arts of the demagogue, the trifler
and the iingo, who plunge their country
into war that they might obtain a tran
STORY fame or imaginary glory.
I'VE are thankful to you for exposing
the sham and hypocrisy OF those who,
not satisfied with the enormous profits
that they are making out OF the present
war, are anxious to enehanee their for
tunes by soaring US with the terrors
OF the impossible.
Convinced that there is less danger OF
invasion now than ever before in the
history of the United States, We are
also serenely conscious OF the fact that
never before was the United States bet
ter prepared to meet such danger, il IL
,, were really imminent, and this Is evi-
deneed by the fact ,nat there is no
other country on the face of the earth
so well able to supply munitions OF war
to the belligerent nations.
I'VE Likewise congratulate you on send
ing message OF peace and good will 10
unfortunate Europe. Public sentiment
rules the world, and the moral effect
produced by launching an expedition OF
peace at this time must inspire others
10 join you in the noblest OF all erusades
not TO kill. but TO save.
Yours for peace,
