Ardmore. Oklahoma, before coming

TUESDAY EVENINGS CON-
CERT SPLENDID SUCCESS

One OF the largest audiences that
has assembled at the First Preshy-
terian church for some time was
present at the Autumn concert given
there Tuesday evening under the
auspices OF the chorus choir Of the
congregation. The program OF en-
tertAinment which was one Of wide
range and the most arfistic charac-
ter was arranged by = committee
from the choir Of which its director
Harry o. Fritz. was chairman and
was taken part in by much of the
musical talent OF the city. Among
those assisting in its production were
representatives OF the various church
choirs OF the city and other lead .rs
in musical circles OF the community.
This combination OF talent resulted in
n concert OF unusual excellence ami
of the utmost pleasure to those In at
tendance to hear it.
In a program of such merit. where
the rendition of every number was
such as to call forth hearty applause.
II would be invidious and ungenerous
to mention the work OF individuals. or
allude to what might be considered
special excellencies and no ATTEMPT

Suffice 1t to say that the entertain
ment was well balanced and splen-
didly executed. Every number was
gem of its kind and in presenting
such a program for the delectation rf
it's patrons the members of the chorus
choir and their coliaborators are en-
titled to the highest degree of public
appreciation and the unmeasurcd
thanks OF those who were privileged
to enjoy II.
In recognition OF the high-clsss
character OF the entertainment Tues

FINE SCENERY on
TRIP TO MONTROSE

D. w Ross and DR.. C. H. Kellen-
berger who accompanied A. E. Wilson
w. H. Dozier and DR.. Hart Goodloe on
an automobile trip to Montrose and
Paonia last week. returned to Canon
City by rail on Sunday; leaving the
other members of the party to motor
home this afternoon or Tuesday.
The outward trip was made by way
Of the Parkdale-Cotopaxi cutoff to
Salida thence over Poncha pass to
Saguache, Gunnison and other west.
ern slope points included in their itin.
erary. The run form Canon City to
Gunnison. a distance of one hundred
and eighty-eight miles was made the
first day. The route from Saguache
to Gunnison was made over the gov
ernment buitl road through the ma
tional forestry reserve one Of the
finest public highways in the entire
west. This road. according to Mr.
Ross. Is probably without an equal in
any of the mbuntain districts o. Col
orado for motorists and takes high
rank among such highways anywhere
in the country. it is scientifically con-
structed and is broad, smooth and
well drained. The highest point on
the road is 9.se2 feet above sea-level
From Gunnison to Montrose the
route OF the party was over the Black
Mesa route through the Gunnison Ma
tional park. which is also a master
piece Of highway building. For a
long distance 1t runs along the rim
Of the Black Canon of the Gunnison
river and the scenery is OF wonder
full beauty. At places along the orad
there lArs precipices hundreds OF
feet in height and the motorist
grows dizzy IS he looks into the tre-
mendous depths below him. This road
Is cut out OF the solid rock and is at
many points tdo narrow for safety. In
some places Mr. Ross says 1t would
be difficult. If not. impossible for two
automobiles to pass. but the danger
is to some extent forgotten AZ . re-
suit Of the magnificent scenery which
opens up to the vision on every hand.
The Black Mesa route through the
Gunnison National park IL one of re-
marksble attractiveness BY reason Of
the granaeur Of the mountains thru
which Il paesee anA NJ. Ross advises
all Of his friends that can do so to
make the trip over IT.
In the opinion Of Mr.. Ross both the
government-built road from Saguache
to Gunnison and the highway across
the Black Mesa are marvels Of con-
struction and are destined to become
favorite routes Of travel to automo-
biiists visiting this state from the
prairie sections of the country.

A GREAT WORK FOR HELPING GIRLS
By 6. U. H.

If you were looking for something
interesting. to read You would not, as
rule-and very seldom as an ex-
ception in fact-pick up an auditors
report or a financial statement of
some institution.
But 1 have been reading tonight,
little booklet of fgures-thirty
typewriter pages of lists and tables
and balances-all figures, but bright
Illuminating figures, that is as inter-
esting to me as any book have ever
read.
This little volume Of figures that
tells SO much to anyone who knows
a little of the great work is entitled,

ration of Women's Clubs from the Be

is a contribution to the work and a
most worthy one, too.
Club women and a few others know
something of this interesting work.
Most of these even know too little.
For here is one OF the most worthy
and beneficial little philanthropies
in the State OF Colorado.
Its object is to help worthy young
women to educate themselves so that
they may be self-supporting and help
full to others. The money that does the
,work-does the work over and over
again is contributed by Club Women
and their friends. 1t is loaned to
girls who have no other way of get
ting an education. Most Of the girls
prepare for teaching. And all begin
paying back as soon as they begin
to earn salaries. In all these years
in which many girls with little means
and no credit have been helped with
loans and no security required, prac-
ticaily no losses OF any account have
been incurred
This Fund is managed by a COM
mittee from the Colorado Federation
OF womens Clubs. OF which Mrs
Minnie L. Harding Of Canon City. has
been the leading spirit for many
years She hzs been loyalty support
ed by the club women Of Canon City.
Canon City has been the most liberal
contributor to the Fund. and has
given more than any other city ex-
cept Denver.
From the thirty pages of figures
we give you few of the interesting
items. selected at random.
The Fund was started in 1901. Dur
ing the first three years the total do
nations amounted to s574.6o. Each
year the donations have grown and
during the past year the contributions
amounted to s1.167.30.
Loans have been made to the ex-
tent of s25.91s.OO. As fast as loans are
paid back the money is loaned out
again.

so that the net capital in the Fund
today is se.70i.ol.
Today the total amount of loans
outstanding is ss.7ol.5o. With a

tai of ss.704.01.
