In its issue Of October %, the
Arvada Sun laments the fact
that it will be necessary to raise
the levy in School District No. z,
in order to meet the current eX-
penses. In this instance it tells
of the action Of the State Com
mission in lowering the valuations
of the Railroads and the Tele-
phone Companies holdings which
according to the Sun would leave
the district short about $62, 600
of taxable assets. 1t then has
tens to assure its readers
that whatever the short comings
of the school service may be the
blame must not be attached to
the school board (Which may be
all right 1t also points out the
fact that Arvada School District

year to take care of increased at.

to the buildings and grounds
were made. All of these things
were pointed out and deplored,
mind you, by the Sun at that
time because it evidently did not
know that the County Commits

of half a mill on the general levy

Who has not at sometime in
his or her life felt the restraint
which self-consciousness, over
sensitiveness and timidity put
upon one? Probably everyone of
US has felt it and knows exactly
what it means. There are a
great many talented and deep
souled people who go through
life without even their most in
innate friends being conscious of
the fact, simply because these
people are too shy to be their
truest selves. Many a girl is
unhappy because Of some real or
fancied defect which she has an
idea that everyone around her is
noticing. One great trouble with
over-sensitive people is that they
magnify the qualities of other
people and minimize their own.
They fail to realize that the maj
ority of people are too busy with
their own lives to spend their
own time in noticing and critics.
ing others. Beside the fact
that self-consciousness acts as a
barrier to success in life's work.
another danger is that it tends to
develop a melancholy fault-find-
ing, critical disposition. A per-
son with such a disposition is
sure to be unhappy. But some
one says, The more | try to
overcome self-consciousness. the
worse | feel. - This feeling de-
ponds entirely on how one tries
to overcome it. Nothing is truer
than that to think about it only
makes it worse. The best way
to cure any habit is to assume an
opposite trail and by attaching
the attention to the new interest
break the old habit. Then why
not overcome ones sensitiveness
and timidy by forcing one self to
mix with others and to become
interested in others, thereby al.
lowing the new to crowd out the
old self.consclousness? 1t is a
known fact that, unless a person
assumes an attitude of self con.
tidence, others will not place con.
hdence in him. In the end. it is
a consoling fact that the MAORI.
ty of people are kind hearted and
had rather help than hinder a
fellow being. When we become
able to understand this fact our.
selves, and when we become
broad minded enough to Civ,
others the credit of being fully
as good as we are We shall have
gone far o"ards solving tn,
pr oblem of o, grooming self.con,
seriousness.

one thing which seems to be
drawback to the whole prosper
Gus movement and that is the
ever present hoax, Hard times
are near Consequently more
money is boarded up and acts as
a check to this great era of pros
perity. Here in Arvada every
body is now employed and the
town faces a brighter future per-
haps than any time in her his
tory. The editor sometimes
wonders where all of this
money earned in this town
makes its first landing place.
Every bit of it should stay in
Arvada so as to prevent an un-
equal distributions of wealth and
to boost our community, The
cause of much Of this money 60
ing to larger cities for the COM
modities of everyday use lies in
this fact, Large department
stores such as there are in Den
yer can buy some small commo-
dity at a figure quite lower than
a store in Arvada could, owing
to the large purchase. When
this commodity is advertised
cheaper than it could be obtained
elsewhere it casts a cheap re-
Election on all of the goods kept
by the merchant even if they be
higher than elsewhere. In this
case peoples imagination does
the most harm. 1t is not more
than just, that when money is
earned in Arvada it should be
kept in Arvada so as to boost
home industry, raise the scale of
wages and put local prosperity
on its feet. j. M.

The public library in Arvada
is probably one of the best
things Arvada has taken up.
By the method installed in this
library one can read books and
return them absolutely without
cost, unless the book is kept
overtime. This library has all
kinds of books for young and old
people, the classics especially are
being solicited. Magazines deal
ing with all subjects are kept at
the library and anyone wishing
to refer to any subject can 20 to
the library and look it up. The
library is in the Town hall and
costs the town very little for up
keep. the cost being very slight
when compared to the advantage
obtained therefrom. Since most
of the books have been donated,
the first cost IS very little.
Help the young people to cult
vate "a taste for good books.
Good reading tends to higher
thought and the foundation of
sturdy character. What boy
or girl reads is as important as
anything about him. The yellow
back dime novels DO not stimu-
late a boys imagination or set it
usefully to work, but send it into
a dream of the impossible. See
what your boy or girl is reading.
If his books are not good books,
your duty is to get those that
are. the new library gives you a
chance to get them.

Chicago Material Supply Houses to
Permit No Selling to Building Trades
in Order to Halt All Construction

Chicago, July 2.-Forty- three of Chi
cago's largest lumber yards and sixty
five brick making plants were closed
to business today, throwing several
thousand out OF employment. The es-
tablishments will not make deliveries
until the strike of 10000 carpenters is
settled The eleventh hour decision OF
the allied building materials interests
to continue operations but not selling
placed 4 more optimistic feeling in the
fight against carpenters and other
striking building trades crafts. No

declared, until peace 10 restored in the

apparent that tho battle on the EN-

Without deliveries Of these two basic
materials. contractors and builders will
be unable to continue construction OPP
erations. 1t was estimated some of the
independent contractors who have
signed up with the carpenters at 20
cents an hours have materials on hand
to keep them going for few days, per-
haps a week.
Mill men, because Of their larger
storage capacities, it was said, may be
able to continue manufacturing two or
three weeks. When the visible supply

men will continue to operate their

no effect on building construction. As

Witness For State Says Prisoner Inn
asinsd He Heard Screams Of Girls
While Confined in Cell Night After
Murder q Stanford White.
New York. July 2.Justice Hendrick
and the jury In Harry X. Thaw's sanity
trial had heard most OF the STATES
documentary evidence when court re-
convened today. Counsel for the state
brought their witnesses in the expecta-
ton Of calling the first Of them this
afternoon. Satisfied that Evelyn Ihaw
will be here early next week in re-
sponse to a subpoena calling her as a
witness, the states attorneys have
abandoned their efforts to obtain an
attachment to compel her attendance
in court.
After the Introduction Of former
documentary evidence the state called
as its first witness James NJ. Barrett,
policeman assigned to the tender
loin police station on the night Harry
Thaw was taken there after the kill
ing Of Stanford White. He gave testi-
mony intended by the state to prove
that Thaw, while in his cell. was under
delusion that he heard voices Of little
girls screaming.
"Thaw asked me two or three times. "
said the witness, where are those
little girls screaming told him there
were no little girls. Some women had
been arrested and one was shouting
and carrying on. told him they were
women, and he said. o, no. they aren't.
They're little girls. hear them
screaming He asked me who was
beating and abusing them"
Thaw's conduct when he was forcibly
deported from Canada was described
by Frank McFadden, q Canadian Inn
migration officer who had charge OF
Thaw while he was in jail at SSher-
brooke, Que. When told that he was
to be deported. Thaw, he said. "fared
up in an awful rage" He threw q
bottle thru q window, said McFadden,
and shouted. They're Kidnapping me-

this occasion was very Irrational
