Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

The social which was held on the
evening of Washington's birthday was
a very pleasant event and was at
tended by quite large number. 1t
was rendered additionally pleasant by
the presence of the wives and lady
friends of the different members Re,
freshments were servcd by Mrs.
Sprague and Mrs. Parks.
The committee appointed some
time ago to arrange for the member
ship campaign to be held in the
Spring, beginning April 10th and con-
tinuing through the goth, held a
meeting last Friday evening. The
plan is to have fully a dozen teams
of about five members each, together
with two teams of boys, and to make
Il thorough and systematic canvas of
the men of the city Another meet;
ing was held on Friday evening,
March 3rd, at s o'clock.
The public meeting, the second of
the kind, held at Campbell A. NJ e..
Church last Sunday afternoon, was
full of interest and very helpful.
About two hundred were present. The
music was led by the junior choir of
the church, under the direction of
Mrs. Craig. The address was deliv,
cred by Rev. Guy E. Konkel, pastor of
the Christ NJ e. Church, who spoke
on 1.-The Christian Life" Seldom has
stronger and more helpful address
been heard.

ANNUAL DANCE OF SELF-lM.
PROVEMENT CLUB.
A Great Success.

The long-looked for annual dance
of the Self-Tmprovemeni club, one of
the leading women's organizations in
this city, came off on Tuesday eve
ming last at Fern hall, Pill Welton
street, and according to the senti-
never was there a greater event in
the life of the club than this of 1916.
The decoration of the hall under the
slilful guidance of a committee of the
actually transported one into fairy
land, while the magnificent display of
evening gowns specially designed for
the occasion, vying with the conven-
tional evening dress suits of the gen
tlemen, reminded one of the splendor
of ancient Rome or the grandeur of
the French and Spanish courts of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
The program of dances, consisting of
the latest popular airs, etc, gave am
pie opportunity for an exhibition of
the modern and up-to-dste steps and
glides, and Morrison's orchestra in
their usual generousness of extras,
catered delightfully."- to the gay lovers
of terpsichore as they tripped over
the specially prepared floor The
pleasure afforded the guests by the
Self-Improvement club was indeed I'M
surpassed and the concensus of opin-
ion merited retention of the clubs
position of first place among the So
cial functions of<the various organiza-
lions of the city. 1t is of much i'm
portance and interest, as well as with
pleasure, to mention that many of the
gowns worn at this event were
specially designed by Madam N j..
Skillern, our leading colored modiste
of the west, the same adding an eX-
quisite appearance to the wearers of
her original creations. This club is
surely crowned with laurel.

THE ALLIANCE MEETING.

Sunday afternoon, February 81, the
Peoples Sunday Alliance held it's first
successful meeting for some time.
The program was excellent and every
participant was present and on time
to perform his part But aside from
the excellent program was the spirit
of the meeting. The fact that there
was such responsiveness to the call
for the gathering of that historical
forum of the people was encourag-
ing. 1t evidenced the fact that Truth
planted may not spring up, blossom
and bear fruit at once, but the seed
will in time terminate.
There were two addresses, one by
Rev. j. A. Thos.-Hazell, who seemed
to have recovered his oldtime pub
lie spirit, and spoke in no uncertain
terms in the practice both within and
without the church of speaking of the
Fatherhood of God with recognizing
man as his brother in action The
other address was made by Col. Nor
gan, whose analysis of the cause of
the present war was nightly thought
provoking, and, to some of us, novel
Incidentally, race bigotry and preju
dicial customs were flayed, and the
perpetrators mercilessly arraigned
To appreciate his frankness and har-
dihood you would need to have heard
him. At the close of his address he
introduced resolutions on just laws
and the just administration of exist
ing laws, which resolutions were
adopted.
The music for the occasion was ex-
ceptionally good Madame Minnie
Hayes, who is too well known to fur
Their comment upon, and Mr.. w. A.
Moore, rendered instrumental duets
(for they were kind enough to come
back when encored), which demon
strated the kind of entertainment they
furnish to the white man who appre-
ciates their talents. Little Misses Thy
ra and Evangeline Morrison, each of
whom sang, accompanied by the Ma
jestie Trio" were an inspiration. 1t
was indeed pleasure to be present
and hear them, and they deported
themselves with credit to the musical
possibilities of the race.
The attendance was so large and
the interest so manifest that the
Board decided to hold another meet
ing on March &c,

ODD FELLOWS HONOR PETER
OGDEN.

A fairly large and appreciative au-
dience responded to the invitation OF
the Denver Odd Fellows in their COM
memoration of Peter Ogden, the
founder of the colored branch of this
order in America. The exercises were
held at the Peoples Presbyterian
church last Wednesday evening, when
the lodges and their auXiliaries
proved their loyalty to the Grand
United order of Odd Fellows and paid
honor to the noble and illustrious
character Peter Ogden.
The program was carried out sue
cessfully, and the beautiful remi-
niscences of the life and work OF this
organizer and builder set forth by the
speakers made every member present
feel doubly proud of his attachment
to the order Long may this lnstlto'
tion exist to carry out the great ana
nurnoseful act of man towards his TEL
low man in the bonds of friendship
love and truth, which comprise not
only the ideals of an organization put

ToWNER WHEAT CROPS GOOD

Towner, Colo, forty miles dis
tant. is rapidly becoming a wheat
growing country, and the farm
ers in the vicinity are vieing with
each other as to who would grow
the largest crops in IA, Is and
'16.
In 1915 the number of farmers
reporting were 100, number
growing wheat % per cent, acres
of cultivated land a, ,769, per cent
of Land in wheat 16 per cent,
average yield per acre 17a bushels,
maximum per acre 81 bushels,
minimum 81 bushels.
This year the number of farm
ers reporting is the same as the
previous years while the percent
age growing the crop is 33 per
cent, number of acres of cult
waited land 6,896 and the per cent
of land in wheat %.
AS a wheat grower, J. J. Kelly
with his crop of 300 to 400 acres
leads the list. He is considered
an expert in this particular branch
of farming which is the most
profitable of all crops grown in
eastern Colorado.
J. Berger. J. E. Hupp and C.

their praises of this crop, each

Play Splendid Basketball with

Holly Wins,

On Friday last the Wiley boys and girls
played an interesting and closely contested
game Of basketball with the local boys
and girls at the new high school gym"
and altho the visitors did their best the
Holly aggregation won-the girls game
resulting in score Of 1876 and the boys
26.25, in the presence of fair.sized audi.
ence, both from the visitors home and in
and around Holly.
In the first half of the boys game Holly
played ali uphill game, the score standing
6-l8 when the whistle blew for the fifteen
minute respite, and coach" Graham be.

profusion pile up in startling array before
his bewildered vision. The visitors were
exultant, however, when Graham took
the boys out for change of air-and q
friendly tip.
Upon their return it seemed as tho the
tables had been completely turned, and
the local fans watched with breathess
interest when the boys would put the ball
"home' almost at will, scoring total of
Is points, bringing the result up to 26.25.

SYRACUSE ALSO FALLS

On Saturday evening the Syracuse boys
and girls came to Holly to play basket.
bali with our young folks and incide ntally
inspect our famed high school, which has
been the talk of the countryside since its
completion. Coach Brown. who in
structs the youth in the art OF manual
training in the Kansas town, was confident
that the laurels would fall at Syracuse's
feet, and at the outset many fully coin
cided with him.
The girls game was "easy picking
for Syracuse, defeating Holly by a score
of 22.8 amid much excitement.
But to the surprise of the visitors, at
the end of the first half the score stood
1913 in Holly's favor, with the home team
playing as tho their life depended on it.
Coach Brown was puzzled but his
poise was that OF man who was doing
the best possible, but with the iron hand
of Fate against him.
In the second half Syracuse played to
serious disadvantage all the way, scoring
but three times to Holly's 80, making the
phenomenal result SILL in our favor.
At the conclusion of the game it was
freely stated that return game would be
played at an early date, and The Chief.
tain hopes that both Wiley and Syracuse
will fare better next time.
