GRAND OPERA HOUSE
5 JAMMED LAST NIGHT
When the Class of 10, Numbering y,
Heard Inspiring Addresses and
'- Received Their Diplomas

Necelve0 i HcII
The commencement exercises of
the Rocky Ford high school were
begun in First Presbyterian
church last Sunday evening, when
that spacious edifice-despite tine
rainy weather-was filled with
such throng as has not been as
sembled therein for a long time,
and they will be ended in the
same building this evening, when
the reception of the Alumni asso-
citation will be held.
The baccalaureate sermon was
delivered by J. l.. Weaver Of the
Presbyterian church, and was an
inspiring and intensely interest
ing address, most appropriate to
the occasion.
On tuesday evening the home
of Superintendent and Mrs. X. j.
Walters was the rendezvous of
school board, faculty and seniors,
and a most enjoyable time is the
report from the faculty reception.
Last evening the commence
ment exercises proper were held
in Grand opera house, and II crowd
that taxed the capacity of that
building was in attendance.
After music by the orchestra,
an appropriate invocation by DIR.
N. II. Lee of First Methodist
church, and tuneful chorus by
the high school glee club, the
commencement address was de-
livered by DIR. William Crawford
of First Baptist church.
The speaker took for his theme
Couture and Service" and de-
livered an eloquent address filled
with precepts and informative
value to those who were upon this
evening leaving behind them
their school life and were about to
embark upon new and untried
life where they perhaps might
soon be called upon to prove their
mettle in avocations or amidst
scenes far removed from those of
home and school.
In expressive and well-rounded
phrases the class president, Will
lam Chambers, made the presenta-
ton of the class memorial, which
was accepted for the Rocky Ford
school by Leslie Littell, Junior
class president.
Then came the proud moments
for the class of 'l6 when Superin-
tendent Walters in a talk replete
with admonition and cheer called
forth the following graduates to
receive their diplomas:
College Preparatory-Harold Randall.
Glenn v. Culp. Evangeline Hauok. Evelyn

Fine New Factory Garage the Rem
devious of One of the Largest
Crowds Ever Assembled
Something out of the usual
order was the annual barbecue
given by the A. B. S. Co. Factory
Foremen's Club last Saturday
night. The unusually WAS that
this affair WAS held in the fine
new garage and was therefore
somewhat in the nature of a house,
warming.
Another unusual element was
the downpour of rain that began
as the guests were assembling and
continued internationally all night.
Tho the rain disconnected the
chefs, who had planned to cook
the fine juicy steaks just outside
of the garage, it could not have
kept anyone from attending, nor
did it dampen the ardor of the
huge throng in the enjoyment of
one of the jolliest times they ever
attended. -
Even before the appointed hour
the garage WAS crowded and it is
estimated that the barbecue was
served to fully 500 A. b. S. Co.
employees and their families and
invited friends, who were not de-
tered by The rain, for there's no
one that turns down the 'opportun-
ity to take in this big annual stunt
of the Rocky Ford factory boys,
The barbecue this year was
much more than the title implies,
for besides the immense quantity
of the choicest cuts of steak ''done
to turn" under the watchful sup
ervision of Head Chef Aug. Busse
and his expert force of cooks, there
was sandwiches, rolls, olives, Gel
cry, pickles. fruit, coffee, lemonade
and the like in such abundance
that many besides the ladies cut
out the last course-the Smokes"
AT the conclusion of the barbe-
cue the tables were quickly clear
ed away and benches took their
places, upon which the crowd was
comfortably seated and listened to
the splendid music furnished by
the factory orchestra.
Promptly at the appointed hour
-S;15 p. m.-the curtain conceal
ing the improvised stage was
drawn aside, revealing galaxy of
blackface comedians such as would
grace the ranks of the best min
strel show ever produced by AL &.
Fields.
big Jim" Bingham filled the
position of interiocutor with dig
nifty and grace, while ''Steve" Kel-
so and FATTY" Henderson as end
men with their quips and asides
lent zest to the antics and laugh
raising jests and stories of the rest
of the burnt cork bunch. Charlie
Allen, with his inimitable char
acterization of r negro exhorter,
and Chapman, Edwards, Strousse
and Whittenberg, in darky chorus
and song, were the big hits of the
minstrel show.
A monolog by L. A. Sears made
a quite enjoyable filler while the
stage was being changed.
The second part of the program
was a mirth-provoking skit en-
titled "De Daughter of De Regi-
ment," who proved to be shape
ly and skittish brunette whose
identity kept everyone guessing,
but Chapman has not denied the
soft impeachment that twas he.
After the program the floor was
cleared and in the enjoyment of
dancing to the splendid orchestral
music the last hours of another
night with the genial employees of
the A. b. $. Co. were delightfully."-
spent.

German Version of
the Evacuation Of
Town of Monastir

Berlin, Nov. 19.-(By wireless to the AS
ISOLATED Press via Sayville).-The Mace
DOMAIN town of Monastir. located at the
bottom of a bowl surrounded on all sides
by dominating heights, was evacuated
during the night by the German and Bull
garian troops, who retired to prepared po-
sitions further north. They thus with
drew from highly unfavorable positions in
the plain, where they were exposed to ar
tillery fire from the heights south and
southeast of the town. The news of the
evacuation Of Monastir does not come as
a surprise, the Associated Press having
been Informed some days ago by the mil
itary authorities that the question wheth-
er Monastir's political importance was
great enough to justify the military sacr'-
fees necessary to defend the town was
being weighed by the general staff and
that military considerations would prob
ably prevail.
It is pointed out In Berlin that Monastlr
is likely to be very uncomfortable place

for the allied troops as the new Bulgar-
German positions command the town in
the same manner as it was previously
commanded by the enemy guns.
Politically of course. various consider
atoms urged that efforts be made to
maintain Monastir. not only because its
possession by the Entente Allies would
give the Serbian government a local hab-
itation in Serbian territory and encour-
age Gen. Sarrail commander of the al
lied operations in the Balkans, to press
the campaign. but also for its politica,
effect in general.
In war, however, military considera-
tions must prevail over political.
The retirement of the Germans and Bull
CARS would have the effect Of bringing
the attacking forces away from their line
of communication and into the almost

mia. and the defending forces corre-
