Everyone was urged to eat
heartily by their delightful hosts
and believe us we did.
Following the substantials
came pink ice cream and several
different kinds of cake, so now
we know you are sorry you was
MT there.
After the festivities the COM
pany was shown thru the large
sanitary kitchens, where all
modern conVeniences are had,
even to the dishwasher and ster-
ilizlng machines.
The larder and laundry, the
dairy barns and the fine herds of
Holsteins. the chickens and the
pigs were then inspected, and
the system Of caring for the
stock and Of the cooperation
with the boys and girls in an eff
fort to make them self reliant
and resourceful was explained
by Mr.. Reece, who is Mr. Don
nelly's able assistant.
Seats were then arranged on
the beautiful campus in the
shade and here the Changers
spent a most enjoyable after
noon watching the boys and girls
go thru their drills. folk dances,
and listening to their songs.
There are at the home about
$50 boys and girls ranging from
the ages of six months to Is or
10 years and among them are
some rs fine looking, we'll be-
havcd and as well educated as
you will find in many of our best
homes.
In the evening supper was ser
we'd and a splendid program was
listened to consisting of "A vocal
solo by Prof. Reece after which
he gave IA very interesting talk
and WIS followed by chorus of
the home girls. Prof. French of
the Agricultural College then
gave an illustrated lecture which
was much enjoyed.
Among those from jefferson
county were Mr.. and Mrs. ]. A.
Newcomb. Albert Wolf. Ernest
APPEL, w. J. Wcrtman, John
Grattan, Clarence Swaize, Mrs.
Holly.
Everyone was loud in praise OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Donnelly's cordial
hospitality and from what they
saw believe they are the right
people in the right place looking
after the States unfortunates.
All were given an invitation to
make an informal call at any
time, which made them feel that
they could expect to find the
homes population could put on
itS company manners on Il mo-
ments notice.

School Notes,

Parents who may be thinking
of having children do summer
work in the way of making up
work or who may be thinking of
having children try to make a
grade during the summer, will
please take nolice of the deci.
sion that has been made on this
subject.
Pupils who have failed in any
subject throughout the year can
not possibly make up this work
in 6 weeks. hence no examina-
ton for promotion this fall will
be given those pupils,
= In case of sickness being the
cause of failure, and such pupil
had been making passing grades
during the term, such conditions
will be taken into consideration
in giving examination this fall.
This will be the only condition
under which examinations for
promotion will be given. -,
We have found out by exper-
fence that pupils who attempt
making up in six weeks what
they failed to do in 8 months is
impossible. Pupils Of this kind
will always be weak, and it is an
injustice to the pupil, and also
to the teacher who has to at
tempt to make them come up to
the grade at the end of the term.
Some of our grades at present
have so many pupils that it is
impossible for any teacher to
give very much individual work
for pupils.
We would say to any such
who are interested in the above
to be informed carefully before
entering on this course.
High School pupils may get
their report cards by calling at
nv home for them

who were fortunate enough tc

Prof. Donnelly and his estim-
able wife had arranged for the
entertainment Of all who might
come and sat them down to a
dinner that eclipsed anything
the Changers had partaken of in
many a day.
At | o'clock the dinner was
served in the big dining room of
the Home, some delay being had
IN order that all who might be
late would still be in time.
Unless you have visited the
home you can scarcely appreci-
ate the genuine hospitality that
pervaded the place.
Usually in thinking of dining
rooms in such institutions one
sees bare walls and bare tables
with tin plates and cups, etc.
but not so at this nome.

the walls are much the same as
you would find in the average

Many had expressed themselves
pleased with the sale and all
wished to see them continued.
However, there will be no Sales
day this month because of other
things which in point of interest
was thought to be Of greater
importance, that being a Straw
berrysDay.
~. j. Wertman of Wheatridge
was present and reported that
there would be a fairly good
crop Of strawberries, in fact it
would be no trouble to supply all
who came, and it was decided
unanimously that a Strawberry
Day should be held, on Wednes-
day, June q.
Mr.. Recht, chairman of the

thought the entire community
should be taken in on this as the
ladies'\aid is very essential and
very necessary, 80 he was auth
orized to call mass meeting for
Wednesday evening to lay plans
for the biggest day ever for Ar
vada. Mr.. Burton reported

The Arvada Community Club
held a particularly interfering
meeting Monday evening, which
was we'll attended especially by
those who are interested in the
five cent fare and the other
other changes in contemplation
by the Tramway Company.
A letter was read from Mr..
Hid, general manager of the
Tramway in which he stated
that if his proposition was &C
ceptable the so ride books good
for 80 days and emitting the
holder or members Of his family
to ride so times between Arvada
or Griffith and the White City
for slips or q cents a ride,
would be issued as soon as the
tariffs could be readjusted, which
would be about June Is.
In this connection it might be
said that this concession asked
for by the Aryada people has re-
suited in a benefit to all the peo-
pie similarly situated, as the re-
duction will have to be made on
all lines running outNof Denver
where an extra five cents has
been charged for a like distance.
The letter further stated that
the doors and folding steps
would be placed on the Arvada
and Golden cars and also that
the tramway tracks would be ex-
tended up to Valley Avenue as
soon as a right of way so feet
wide was provided without cost
to the company.
The letter minated that the
acceptance of the propositions
should be forthcoming at once
and the Community CT I, after a
free discussion of the matter vo-
ted t. accept the reduction in
fare as proposed and the Utili
ties Committee, composed Of
Wesley Staley, A. l.. Davis. J.
F. White and H. j. Juchem were
urged to get busy and see what
could be done toward the pur-
chase of the right OF way. OF
course the doors to protect the
passengers from the cold and al
so to keep city passengers otfthe
express cars will be very accep-
tible.
The acceptance which includ-
ed vote of thanks to Mr.. Hid
was unanimous, and the letter

REPORTERS HISTORY As
IT WAS WRITTEN our
A Little Inside Information
About Irwin Cobb's No.
; ted Career.
The greensboro Messenger says


The Louisville Post, printing a
review of Irwin Cobb's early news
<paper work in Kentucky, says for
three years, beginning in 1898, he
worked on the Post, doing the city
hall; politics in the days Of the Mus
ic hall convention and the Gobel
election; Frankfort correspondence
during the Legislature when Gobel
was killed; reported the Powers
trials, and In all chronicled a re-
markable series of events in Ken
lucky history. After that, says the
Post. he took charge of paper in
Paducah, purposing to become a
publisher in his native CITY,"
The Post could have made its
story of Cobb more interesting if it
had told the circumstances of his
leaving its employ. Notwithstanding
the cleverness of his work, Cobb
wrote the publisher of the Padscah
News-Democrat that he could not get
more than SIS week in Louisville,
which would not support him and
his little family, and offering his
services to the News-Democrat for
$22 a week, saying he could live
more economically in his old home.
His offer was accepted. After a few
months the Post offered him S24 a
week to come back. The Paducah
publisher saw the raise" and Cobb
stayed. In another few months the
Post offered him S2S. The Paducah
publisher kept him there at $50. He
remained for three and half years
and then drifted away to New York,
finally getting job on the Even
ing Sun at $50 week and work
that was most unattractive-re-
writing and boiling down morning
paper stories. He was poorer for the
first year in New York than he had
ever been in Paducah and almost
concluded to shake the dust of Goth
am from his feet. But finally he got
an assignment in which he did
brilliant work. Then the World
hired him at more than twice the
Sun salary and in short time gave
him contract for three years at
$500 a year. After that he went to
the Saturday Evening Post at $10,-
900 a year and prequisites. Last
year he made more than $4,000.
But the Louisville Post let this
wonderful genius go rather than
give him more than SIS week and
later days bid only s2S for him, al
lowing the News-Democrat to keep
him at $50. That's history.

WHY THE COST OF PAPER
HAS GREATLY ADVANCED

What is the cause of the increas.
ed cost of paper? We are asked
this question many times and We
consider it our duty that our Gus.
toners should know the reasons.
We give below the old and new
prices of some of the materials
which are used in making coated
and uncoated papers, and ali kinds
of papers have been affected in the
same way:
Casein was 6 y cents, now II to
23 cents.
Alum was 1 cent, now 3 cents.
Soda ash was Gj cents per hun
bred weight, now 21a cents per
pound
Rosin was 1915 per barrel, now
$3.50 per barrel.
Bleached sulphite was s2.65 per
hundredweight, now ga to Az
cents per pound.
Satin White Dry W., was cents,
now 9 cents.
Aniline colors were 40 cents per
pound, now $4,000 per pound.
Fourdriner wires were 20 cents
per square foot, now 80 cents.
Wooden and cotton felts have ad-
vanced 10 per cent to 40 per cent.
Thirds and blues We're $1.35 per
hundredweight, now 2 is cents per
pound.
Bleach was 4 cents per pound.
now Z cents (unobtainable).
Greater advances are sure to come
and We suggest that you place your
orders for printing now and save
that additional increase.

A PAINTER or GENIUS
DIES INSANE PAUPER

What could be more tragic than
the story of the artist Blakelock?
For over sixteen years the man
whom critics to-day delight TO pro-
claim the greatest of American
painters has been buried in State
asylum-an insane pauper-and
for forgotten by the outside world.
The canvases that he once, in pow
erty and distress vainly tried to
sell for living price have risen in
value until rich collectors eagerly
pay twenty and thirty times the
sums that by necessity he was
forced to accept. The family that
he left unprovided for when his
powers failed him has kept up "a
bitter struggle for existence. help
less to do anything for his better
care; too poor even to visit him
from time to time at the Middle
town Hospital.
What is left of Blakelock's art
that has commercial value is keenly
sought after and praised with wor-
shipful enthusiasm. He long since
