satisfaction to the fathers, mothers and children of

but until the Law has either been repealed declared
invalid by the Courts it will be the part Of all good people
to obey it; until then the good people of Colorado will
be at disadvantage Of not getting the premiums that

In order to obey the Law cannot accept for pre-
miums any signatures" coffee packages bought by

signatures which you had hand that day we will
gladly send premiums for them you send them

We also suggest that you save the signatures from
all Arbucke packages bought BY you after July l9th
because should the Law be declared invalid it would be
proper send them for premiums and in that
we will send premiums for all signatures from Colorado
even though they have been defaced marked Cancelled
In the meantime ARBUcKIEs' coFFEEs win
make just q cheering breakfast drink without pre-
muns a. with premiums and we want to assure oil our
customers in COLORADO that appreciate their trade very
highly and that with the single exception Of not giving
premiums while the Law is in force We win serve them
faithfully in the future q We have served them for

the 1917 train Tuesday morning
en- route for Van Wyck and the first
match basketball game of the sea-
son. The High School coach. the
team. the substitutes. the "rooters. q"
were all eager for the contest. In
deed, the wheels OF the cars could
not revolve at rate in keeping with
the beating Of eXpectant pulses.
Only the blowing of red. white and
blue whistles could accomplish such
feat
The announcement, "Springdale. "
and the cherry greeting Of Van
"yCk's representatives there was
Simultaneous and soon the merry
party were tucked away in Fords
which sped them over red hills and
through red valleys to the village.
There they were received with cor
dial welcome and were shown a
splendid exhibit OF homegrown
foods. of fancy needle work. OF
handmade articles, and OF domestic
animals
After an instructive address by
Rev. Mr.. Murchison to Van Wyck's
citizens and visitors, the call of the
whistle directed the crowd to the
basketball court where the Oppos-
ing teams had taken their positions.

ers-a second sound OF the whistle
and the game was on. For so min
utes with five minutes intermission
between halves). the ball was in
convulsive motion as if tossed by a
cyclonic wind-then the timekeep-
er's uplifted hand signaled the end
of the strife. Although every spec
tator knew that the Lancaster
wearers Of the red. white and blLe
had won the game, an expectant
hush preceded the announcement of
the score: "315 in favor of Lam
caster"
With genial cheer for Van
Wyck the Lancaster team moved
from the court accompanied by the
home team who knew how to take
defeat which may be considered a
greater knowledge than that OF
basketball.
