Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

A special meeting of the commit
Mems Christian Association was held
on Monday evening last, at which
plans were discussed and methods
proposed for the enlarging of the &C
tivities of the Branch and increasing
its effectiveness. The secretary
pointed out that one of the greatest
needs just now was willing, efficient
workers, who are able to lead boys
clubs and mems groups. He said that
he could use half dozen good work
ers right now, and would need more
a little later, as other clubs and
groups were perfected. The work,
he pointed out, could not be properly
developed unless such workers could
be found very soon.
There are at present four groups
of boys studying the Bible. Others
may be formed later. The social
work of the boys is now being organ
lied, and will soon be completed.
The educational work will then be
taken up, consisting of light talks,
simple lectures, educational hikes"
and the like.
Attention is now being given, also,
to the mems work. A "Get-together"
social of the men will be held next
Tuesday evening, the 18th, when all
the senior members will meet to get
better acquainted and for a general
pleasant evening. Light refreshments
will be served free, with continuous
musical program.
The mems meeting last Sunday
afternoon at four o'clock was quite
well attended. Rev. Thos S. Young,
pastor of the Broadway Baptist
church, was the speaker, his subject
being, "The Man Who Made Good"
He spoke on the life of Moses, and
his address was very impressive and

night, last, in the presence of a large
and appreciative audience. The pro.
gram, consisting of musical selec-
lions, vocal and instrumental, also an
address on 'Woodcraft," by the Hon.
C. M. White, was carried out success
fully to the delight of the spectators
A banquet was held in the basement
to which the attendants were invited
The various management
program, decoration and refreshment
came in for much commendation over
the success attending their efforts

will be taken by the public in this

Next Sunday afternoon Rev. F. T.
Bayley; pastor of the Plymouth Con-
gregational church, is expected to be
the speaker.
The boys meeting, which took
place at 2:30, was well attended,
thirty-five being present Mr.. w. A.
Clarke of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company was the speaker. His
subject was, Making the Team" The
boys sang well, and their department
was good. Next Sunday afternoon
Mr. George Watless, assistant direc-
tor of the Boys Work Department of
the Central Y. M. G. A., will speak
to the boys on the subject, 1.-THE
Four-Square Boy" All boys are ex-
pected to be there.

In loving memory of our beloved

25, 1915.
A precious one from us has gone
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home

Mr.. Overton, after sc years of ex-
istence on this earth, obeyed the
death summons, which came to him
Sunday morning last, at his home in
Fulton, Missouri. This octogenarian,
who was very popular in Fulton, won
the respect of the entire community,
and though he passed the biblical al
lotment of life will be greatly missed
by those who knew him. Mesdames
James Martin and Andrew Bradford
of Denver are daughters of the de-
ceased, who left along with their
brothers to attend the funeral.

The railroads have made a one-fare
rate to the Denver Stock Show from
practically every point in Colorado.
These are the lowest rates that are in
effect in Colorado at any time during
the year. From Wyoming, the Da-
kotas, Montana, Idaho, Utah, New
Mexico, Arizona and Texas, a rate of
one and one-third fares will prevail.
A large attendance is expected from
all of this territory. Reductions will
prevail also from the eastern terri
tory.

A WRONG VIEW.

Information reached our office in
which we were blamed for not pub
fishing the annual banquet of the
Bon Vivants, and for the benefit of
our patrons and subscribers we wish
to state that no communication was
sent us for publication, either as to
the date of the event or the proceed
ings, and eventually we would not be
doing justice to ourselves or them
when we did not receive information
by manuscript, as other papers to
venture a comment.
The columns of the Colorado
Statesman are always opened for the
use of the public to publish any mat
ter that is healthy and helpful to our
community, especially the members
of our race, whether socially or in
tellectually. But while our reporter
feels free to act in his capacity with
public functions, it is somewhat en-
barrassing to intrude on exclusive
events unless by permission, and
therefore we hold ourselves blame
less for the negligence of the secre-
tary of the organization to provide us
with matter as he provided other pa
pers. Our motto do unto others as
you would, etc." of over thirty years,
abides with us.
