Club for the Arvada Band was
largely attended not withstand
the very inclement weather.
Just about the time for the crowd
to assemble Arvada and vicinity
was visited by one Of the hard
est downpours of rain of the sea-
son, and many people were
caught in it and thoroly soaked.
However, the hall was fairly
we'll filled and the audience was
very responsive to every number
on the program, so much so that
each performer was compelled
to respond to an encore.
The program was exceptional
in that it was carried out in its
entirety, not one performer mis-
sing and it was also exceptional
in the splendid array of talent,
both local and imported from
Denver.
The band was augmented by
several pieces from Denver and
in all comprised 20 pieces, for
the opening number, which was
very we'll rendered.
President Maloney made a
preliminary talk telling of the
object of the entertainment and
injected several humorous COM
ments alluding to the various
we'll known musical celeberties
of. our town which elected ap-

The violin solo by Miss Keen

Messrs. Miller, Ridder and Eng
land of Denver was also delight
fully received.
n.ls Elliott favored the audi
ence win d soprano solo which
was greatly enjoyed and was
followed by Miss Marian Shoop
in a most delightful reading for
which she is becoming famed.
Mesdames McFadden and
James delighted the audience in
their usual clever manner by
playing duet, and Mr.. James
followed with a couple Of vocal
selections which he sang in his
best voice.
A piano solo by Miss Chamb-
erlain was most charmingly and
skillfully rendered.
Stephen Carveth, the peer of
all the mirth artists, gave sever
al impersonations in his own Or
iginal style while the audience
held their sides and laughed and
screamed.
The Male Quartet composed of
Messrs. Webber, James, New
comb and Lobb sang in Il man
ner never before so enchanting
and brought down the house for
an encore.
F. d. Hutchings sang a couple
of Scotch songs in his very pleas

Hoops. my dear! They are for

in the balmy summer time.
But don't be alarmed. The new
hoops are not real hoops such as
grandma wore before the war, the
hoops of 1915 are just strands of
featherbone, set hoop-fashion in a
petticoat of Powered silk.
Almost all of the designers of smart

TIE RIDE ON THE DUCKS BACK
A Sample Of Third Grade compo-
ATTAIN

sition
Once upon a time there was a
family Of mice who lived in the loft
Of a farmers house. One day they
had no food and sent their little son
TO find something. He ran in the
kitchen where the cook was getting
dinner. He ran across the floor TO
where the cat had been eating his
breakfast. The cook heard q noise
and she turned around; she saw the
mouse. She called the cat When
the cat came in she saw the mouse
and she bounced on him and ate him
up. When his mother and father
heard this they were sorry and Mr..
Mouse said he would go and ask the
fairies TO help them. So he packed
his grip and told his wife and chill
dren good-by. On his way he met
q duck, and Mr.. Mouse asked the
duck TO take him on his back TO the
fairies. "All right, I will" said the
duck. So the next day they found
the fairies sitting in the water lii
lies. The mouse bowed low before
the Queen Of Fairies. The Queen OF
Fairies asked him what he wanted.
Then Mr.. Mouse told his story. The
Queen said she would help him.
Then she gave him little red cloak
that would make him invisible and
told him that when the cat tried to
catch them and il she did catch
them she could not hurt them. Then
the mouse thanked the Queen and
went home and the cat never caught
them and they lived happy ever
after.

In only one month, May, did
the 1916 total of arrests run high

This record was caused by an
unusually large number of petty
arrests during that period.
Last year the police arrested
324 men for vagrancy-having no
visible means of supporting them
selves. Most of these hoboes were
reduced to their vagraney stations
