Independent Order of Odd Fellows was
celebrated by Rocky Ford Lodge on
Monday night, when it is estimated
that $50 members of the several
branches were present.
\ The order was organized by five men
in Baltimore 95 years ago and now the
total membership numbers more than
two millions, and IA, 900 of this number
belong to the order in Colorado. Under
the leadership of men who have had
the good of the community at heart the
lodge in this city has maintained high
plane of fraternalism that places it
amongst the leaders.
The following elaborate program was
greatly appreciated.

The banquet served after the pro-
gram was of unusual excellence and
much credit is due the various commit
tees for the decided success of the
entire affair.
i The Presbyterian church was well
filled on Friday evening with music
lovers who came to hear the Meister-
singers and more especially to welcome
Lotus Ward, the highly accomplished
son of our superintendent of schools.
The boys "made hit" in the opening
number and were compelled to respond
to repeated encores. MIR. Ward was a
prime favorite with his townspeople and
received an ovation every time he ap-
peared on the platform. The chimes
were unusually good and several selec-
tions were sung to their accompaniment
The solo work was good, Mr.. Ward
giving "On the Way to Mandalay' in
such captivating manner that he was
recalled and gave That's a Plenty"
which was just as well received as the
former. All in all it was a most salts
factory affair and was greatly appreci-
ated by all present.
Professional and social circles were
much surprised but none the less pleased
on Monday, when DIR. j. A. Lawson
introduced charming lady to his friends
as his wife.
The doctor made trip to st. Joseph,
Mo- early last week and on April 20was
united in marriage with Miss Lucille
Buzard of that city. The happy couple
are now occupying the Lawson resi-
dence on South Main street.
The Enterprise knows of no one to
whom we can more heartily extend
congratulations than to DR.. Lawson,
and with his host of friends in this city
and vicinity we cordially welcome his
bride and wish them both every pos
sible happiness.
| While in Pueblo this week Mrs. Daniel
| Ward was the inspiration for several
social affairs: On Monday afternoon
Mrs. J. NJ. Woodland entertained about
$50 ladies in her honor; on Tuesday Mrs.
j. d. King gave luncheon, and that
same evening Mrs. Mary Lyle enter
tained at dinner.

little folk helped celebrate the occasion
and enjoyed ice cream, cake and "pink

THERE'S A DIFFERENT STORY IN
THE MAKING OF THE GLOVE

THE MAKING Or I He GLOVE
when you pass along the aisles of
the Marshall Field department store
you see thousands of wonderful man
ufactured products. AL. these things
for sale come from the fingers Of
women and children, the hands and
the machines Of men.
81 wish shoppers could see pictures
behind the things they buy. Pic
lures of workers making the bargain
articles. Pictures of workshops
where people stand at their jobs. Pic
lures of homes where the working
people live.
"You stand, for instance, among
the while pillars and the beautifully
arranged spaces of Fields. It's all
clean and spick and span and smart.
"WeI, you buy pair of fine gloves,
the best domestic gloves to be pur-
chased. Would it interest you to
know how the domestic gloves sold
by Fields are made?"
Thus spoke Agnes NestOr, presi-
dent of the Woman's Trade Union
league and official Of the glove work
ers' international union. She then
told how most of the high-grade
gloves of this country are made in
Fulton county, New York, and 1000
glove workers there without a union
or a treasury or officers went on a
strike six months ago in blind, reck-
less revolt against wages and work
ing conditions. Wage raises and bet
ter conditions went into force this
month as a result of the strike. A
union is now in the field.
mot a raise on wages was given
these workers in II years, though the
cost of living doubled, said Miss Mes
tor. "The average wage of a glove !
worker in this district was $3.50 a
week. It's a trade that takes three |
years to learn. Men and women |

''The 100 glove factories at Glovers-
vile and the so at JohnstOWn near by
is the glove center of America. It's
a long workady, and wage far under
the average of 1880 a week for a
majority of the workers has prevailed.
Of the 1000 workers only about 1,500
were earning a decent living wage.
'I know that gloves I have seen
on sale at Marshall Fields and at
Carson, Prize, Scott & Co. and Man
deIs were made in the midst of brutal
conditions. The testimony Of women
before the New York factory COM
mission was not exaggerated. Some
of them, with their men out of work,
toll feYerishly to finish 20 dozen pairs
of gloves at 25 cents dozen inside
of a week.
81 am sure that, some Chicago
women of Imagination and brains
would be haunted if they could know
the human cost of gloves they buy on
State street. The GloVeTs7iIIe woman
who testified she dreams Of gloves at
