uniforms taken from dead British
soldiers. The Germans have many
men who speak English perfectly or
nearly 80. A soldier in Canadian
Highlander regiment that wears the
kits says one Of their sergeants
wont out to observe German
trench and failed to come back.
They knew he had been killed or
taken prisoner.
From previous experience the
colonel OF the Canadian regiment
believed that a German wearing the
lost sergeant's uniform would soon
insinuate himself into the Canadian
ranks. He therefore obtained per-
mission TO change the position of his
men in the trenches with an adjoin-
ing battalion not wearing kits. so
that the spy could be discovered
more easily.
In two days killed sergeant
walked boldly up to the trench
which the killed Canadians had &C.
cupied. The Canadian colonel easily
picked him ont from the ranks OF
the trousered soldiers. When he
was questioned 1t was found.
strange to state. that he was quite
familiar with Scotland, but knew
nothing about Canada. He was
German who had lived in Scotland.
y short trial and immediate exc
cution behind the trench ended this
daring attempt.
The British assert tnat Germans
have done much effective spying
work in fast automobiles. Even
where the Germans were suspected,
they were able to escape through the
speed OF their cars. Some Of these
cars are equipped with wireless and
can thus communicate any observa-
tons they make Immediately TO their
own side, even II they are miles
away.
The motor car has figured in many
exciting spy exploits. One day
swift motor car came racing up tc
the British lines at Ypres. In II
we're two apparent British uniforms
and between them they held burly
German officer prisoner, apparently
desperate character who was deter
mined TO escape or perish In the at
tempt. The British officers en-
deavored to force their way through
the lines in peremptory way on the
ground that they were taking their
prisoner to headquarters, but a
superior officer present insisted on
stopping and examining them. He
had just been fooled by some other
ingenious trick. and he was intensely
suspicious.
The supposed British officers
proved to be Germans speaking
English perfectly and wearing the
uniforms Of dead British officers.
They had been fitted out in this way

Wheat Ridge Doings.

Wheatridge Grange held a very
well attended meeting last Fri
day night at which time several
new members were given the LIST

The rain on Saturday was a
great blessing to the gardens on
the Ridge as the ground had be-
come very dry and very little
water in sight.
Mr.. Paince will start Friday
morning on his new rural route

Arvada Dry Climate
Tires Best Made

Liz CAiCoi VI .iiio P'PSi dOSo
not pose as an authority on rub
Der, but he believes he knows
good article from poor one even
in the line of automobile tires.
An inspection of the tubes and
tire castings that are being turn
ed out by the Arvada Dry Gil
mate Tire Manufacturing Com
pany convinces US that they are
par excellent and in comparison
with that of other factory man.
ufacture we believe they will
outclass them in every particular.
An inspection of the plant and
of the work of building tires by
the skilled workmen employed at
the Arvada plant we believe will
convince anyone that tires are
being manufactured right here
in Arvada that will surpass any,
thing on the market no matter
where made. =
1t would be natural to expect
some difficulties in getting so gi-
pantic an enterprise into full op-
Grafton and as was stated in the
beginning it would require two
or three weeks time to get all of
the obstacles overcome and be-
gin making tires for the trade.
Naturally. it was the ambition of
the management to take adyan-
tage of the advertising offered
by the Farmers Congress and
special attention has been given
to perfecting a set of sample
tubes and tires for display there
and altho some delay has been
experienced on acc punt of trying
out the cures and processes
peculiar to this altitude and eli
mate most satisfactory results
have been obtained and today
several castings WILDE shown as
we'll as tubes.
The plant is equipped for turn
ing out tires and tubes from the
raw materials to the finished
product and it has been demon
strated that these tires and tubes
are of the very best both in
point of material and workman
ship.
When this fact becomes gener-
ally known there is going to be
such a demand for the Arvada
Dry Climate Tires that the pre-
sent plant will be compelled to
work three shifts and the COM
pany will at once begin plans for
much bigger plant.
Everybody is talking about
this plant and these tires and in
cidentally Arvada is going to
reap a great benefit from the
advertising-free advertising,
that goes with it.
Let those who, are looking for
inspiration go down to the fac
tory and see the work as it is be.
ing turned out.
Robt. Dennis Sr. has secured
the position of night watchmar
at the factory and he is right or

ted States in without orders from

The First National bank has
made a decided improvement on
the west side of their building,
having the foundation cemented
and also a cement sidewalk.
Now, we would like to see the
town dads put in a tile in the
ditch and level off the ground
and put in hitching racks there,
so as to take the teams off of the
main street. Automobile traffic
thru this town has become so
great that it really is dangerous
to have teams tied in the streets.
Another hitching rack could be
made on the north side of Grand
view on the east side Of Wads-
worth, to a good advantage.
