TEACHERS DAY IN
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The Council OF the Monta Vista
Parent Teacher association has
adopted the plan of having Teach
ers' Day in the public schools. The
idea OF Mothers Day is well estab-
lished: but the Teachers Day move
ment is new, and is a Colorado idea.
The purpose is to make it the occas-
ion OF showing appreciation and
honor to those who are giving un-
selfish service in the education and
training of the children. Among the
ways of doing this are: Flowers on
the teachers desk, an invitation
home to take tea by some parent;
friendly notes from parents showing
appreciation of the teachers work;
the afternoon session perhaps closing
with a few appropriate exercises, in
cluding a shower" of candy and
nuts in which all take part. Souven-
irs consisting of little ARTICLES of
handwork made by the children are
sometimes included,

REV. GUM TO LOS ANGELES

j. Harvey Gum, pastor of the
First Baptist church of Monte Vista
has received an invitation to become
candidate for tho pulpit of the
Glendale Baptist church of Los
Angeles. California Mr.. Gum has
turned down the proposition but in
view of the fact that he has mem
bers of :, former pastorate in the
church, the church may give him a
call anyway, and request him to look
the field over, The church is much
larger than any church in Monte
Vista and pays considerable more
salary than he is now receiving. He
says the members have so Loyalty
co-opcratcd with him on the building
project, that he believes they will
do so on other plans he has in mind
and thet he can no. see his way
clear to leave just now in view of
these things.

VALLEY COUNTIES RETAIN
THOMAS AS AGRICULTURIST

A meeting of the commissioners
of the five San Luis Valley counties
was held at Alamosa last week and
it was decided to continue the ar
rangement whereby Agriculturist
Thomas is to be retained in his valu-
able capacity as advisor and cooper
ator with valley farmers. 1t was
feared that Conejos county might
not care to put up their share of the
expense which would probably have
resulted in the other counties as
suming all the expense outside of
that furnished by the government.
However, Conejos came through"
gracefully.
Mr.. Thomas has been of great
service to the valley. and is looked
upon as a fixture in the agricultural
and live stock interests.

adopting the Castle style Of hair dress
ing. And that is what unbecOming

youthful, and she can look young and
be young. II only she is careful OF her
diet, her conduct in public, aaa-her

To His Excellency. the Ambassador
Of the United States Of America to

"The most terrific war ever expe-
rienced in history has been raging for
the last two years and half over
large part of the world-a catastrophe
which thousands of years of common
civilization was unable to prevent and
which Injuries the most precious
achievements of humanity.

forced upon us) until the bitter end.

1.-THE propositions which they bring
forward for such negotiations and
which have for their object guaran-
tee of the existence of the honor and
liberty of evolution for their nations
are, according to their firm belief. an
appropriate basis for the establish

"The four allied powers have been

1.-THE last attack in the Balkans has
been rapidly and VIGOROUSLY over

demonstrated that further continuance
Of the war will not result in breaking
