The twenty soldier boys who left the
county for Fort Riley Wednesday were
| each provided with an unusually com
plete "comfort kit It contained be-
sides numerous pockets for toilet arti-
cles, well supplied housewife and
set of rings were adjusted on the
flap for convenience in hanging at the
head of the cot for daily use. The
| gift of these kits was made possible
through the kindness of G. H. Bell,
who generously furnished the material
and Mrs. Sadie Korn, who with the
assistance of numerous friends pre-
| pared them for use
A supply of smokes had been donated
by Others ard these were divided and
placed in the pockets of the kits. On
learning of the kits being made by
Mrs. Korn, it was thought best to full
ly outfit them and sum sufficient to
equip each kit was raised by the eff
forts Of Mrs. L. H. Hall and Mrs.
Susie Meadows. The citizens called
upon by these ladies certainly respond.
ed handsomely and in a short time
funds were raised to divide equally
in putting the needed articles in each
kit. Letters from various boys at the
training cambs have mentioned the
daily convenience or' usefulness of
the kits and no lad should be permit
ted to be without one.
Those assisting in making the kits
were Mesdames Richard McGuirk, John
Paine, o. T. Reese, Ruth Hayes, c. f.
Bigham, Ada Rittmayer, W. Roed-
man, Edwin johnson, Ernest Barlow,
Misses Mary McGuirk, Betty Brown,

to her daughter, Mrs. Bertha Star.
buck of South Grand avenue, was feel
ing quite proud Of a letter she had
Just received from DR.. Erlo E. Ken
nedy of Denver, formerly a resident
of Basalt but now secretary Of the
state board Of health, with Offices i'll
the capitol building.
The letter makes reference to Mrs.
Gray's son, James Tierney, who some
time ago enlisted under the stars and
stripes to serve his country in this
great world conflict. But Dr.. Ken
nedy's letter explains why Mrs. Gray
feels proud Of her son. Read and then
you will not wonder at her feeling:
Denver, October l,19l7
Mrs. E. H. Gray,
Basalt, Colorado.
Dear Mrs. Gray: I
A little incident was related to me
Saturday, which made me proud of the
fact that I claim Basalt, in Eagle
county, as my home. I want to tell it
to you because l know that it will ex-
cite mothers pride and fill her with
patriotism, even more than it did me.
The incident was this: Saturday, !
had business in the office of Major W.
W. Grant, better known as DR.. Grant
of Denver, who is now an officer in
the national army. He said, edo you
know a young man by the name of
Tierney, from your town?' I said,
"I surely do.' He said, "well, that
young mans name was on the lips
of more people Friday, than any man
in the state of Colorado.' I asked
him for particulars and he said it was
like this:
When the boys of the national army
were leaving Denver, the women Of
large quantities Of goods for the camp
this city prepared individual boxes
containing good things to eat and pre-
sented one to each of the boys. Mrs
Grant inserted card in the box she
prepared, with little note requesting
that the young man who received hel
box, write her letter, telling her Of
his safe arrival and how he liked camp
life. About the middle of last week
she received letter from James Tier
ney, letter full of enthusiasm and
patriotism. Among other things he
said, I" We are going to train into an
efficient army and be able to lick the
Kaiser.'
The state Federation Of Women s
clubs convened in Boulder and Mrs
Grant was SO pleased over the lette,
that she took it with her and present.

tion. The president of the club read
the letter in full to the $50 delegates
and the number Of visitors who were
present. She said that every sentence
of Jim's letter received applause, and
the letter itself aroused more enthus
iasm and excited more patriotism than
any address or paper presented to that
convention.
AS I said before, this incident made
me proud of my home town and eoun
ty and I could not refrain from tell
ing it to you. ...

CITY DADS DISCUSS
LIGHT PLANTS

That was rather interesting meet
ing of the city council last Monday
evening, although nothing was done
except the routine work of approving
reports and allowing bills, with lit
tie discussion of the light situation,
for desert.
Chief among the bills was one .vr
nearly 5000, being the balance due E
A. Dow on the contract price on the
new city hail. After City Engineer
Rosenberg had reported that the build
ing was finished according to specifi-
cations, barring couple of minor de-
tails, which the council was assured
would be completed, the building was
formally accepted and Mr.. Dow's bill
was paid.
Alderman Dougan took a fall out of
the Avalanche for stating that the
building was costing over ten thousand
dollars. Dougan said it was easy
enough for Editor Holmes to find ont
the truth, provided of course he wa
disposed to be fair and tell the truth.
"That reminds me' remarked Al
derman Cross, who declared that he,
too, had kick against newspaper
and its editor and as he had been
smarting a good while over what he
designated unfair remarks of the Post
concerning his stand on the light prop
osition Mr.. Cross begged the indulgence
of the council while he proceeded tc
speak his mind, or words to that eff
feet.
Then he carefully removed from his
pocket voluminous document which
he proceeded to inflict on the council
and visitors. 1t was not argument by
any means but far from it, but it
proved quite amusing to the editor Of
the Post who was supposed to be the
target of the document, which went
wild, however, and it was fairly en-
tertaining to the visitors.
After Mr.. Cross had gotten it all
out of his system he looked pleasantel
"a little less cross-and then he intro
duced a typewriter resolution to the
effect that the city take steps to buy
the Mutual light plant by appointing
one appraiser to represent the city in
placing a valuation on the property.
Alderman Mccoy opposed the reso
luton by saying that he did not be
lieve the taxpayers would sanction tn:
purchase of this plant and he though
to go further would involve needles.
expense. The council took vote or
the question, Alderman Cross voting
for the resolution, the other five alder
men voting against it.
Attorney Mayes appeared at the re
quest of Mayor Kirwan who, had asker

some features Of the Mutual franchise
This action was taken because City

in the Mutual company, could not con

On the depot platform during the
long wait for the train which was
behind schedule time the boys were
eomplimented by our people and given
words of encouragement by a vast
throng who were stirred with patriotic
impulses and who wished the boys sue
cess and Godspeed in the task which
is imposed upon them.
When it was found that one of the
boys was little short of change some
of the local young men quickly but
quietly interested themselves in his
behalf and made up purse of about
fifteen dollars in less than five min
utes and when they handed the money
to the lad, the look of gratitude amply
repaid all who came to his assistance.
With the comfort kits presented to
each recruit by Mrs. Korn and others,
the American flag presented to each by
Senator Napier, a book which WAS
gwen to each one by Ollie Thorson and
other gifts by which they were remem-
bered by others interested in their
future the boys were made to feel that
our people realized the Importance of
the step they were taking and appra-
siated their sacrifice.
Just before the arrival of the train
Lester x. Raley, who had been made
captain Of the Glenwood contingent,
mounted the car and addressed the
people as follows:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we boys are
going to leave you in a few minutes
and I want to take this time on behalf
f all the boys to thank the people
Of Glenwood Springs for what they
have done for us. They have shown us
many courtesies and have given us a
good time and we all appreciate it and
shall never forget the people of Glen
wood and Garfield county.
We are going on little picnic but
do not know when we will be back.
One thing we want to promise you. We
will never drop bombs on Red Cross
hospitals or on school buildings or
women and children. We are going 70
get the kaiser, but we will get him
honorably and We will all come back
here and see you again when we arc
through over there.
"1 want to again thank all Of you
for what you have done for US boys.
If we do not meet here again, we will
meet you in the heaven above. God q
blessing be upon all Of you."
The young man was heartily cheered
a. was also Mayor Kirwan who re-
sponded as follows:
"1 want to say to you boys who ara
leaving us this evening that If at any
time you are in need Of anything not
furnished by Uncle Sam while In the
service let US know about It. The peo.

Only dad, with tired face,
Coming home from the daily race,
Bringing little Of gold or fame
To show how well he played the game,
But glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To see him come and to hear his voice.
Only dad of a brood Of -four,
One of ten million men or more,
Ploddng along in the daily strife,
Bearing the whips and scorn of life
With never a whimper Of pain or hate
For the sake Of those who at home await.
Only dad neither rich nor proud
Merely one of the surging crowd
Tong striving from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way,
Silent whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love of them.
Only dad but he gives his all
To smooth the way for his children small,
Doing with courage stern and grim,
The deeds that his father did for him;
This is the line that for him pen:
Only dad, but the best of men.

All things come to him who waits
in the right place. The Lion dor
was the right place for romance and
Carstairs the last man to suspect it.
This was his third summer at La
Roche Bernard, his twentieth in Brit
tany; even Madame his hostess had
ceased to amuse. The village he had
squeezed dry during his first week,
yet the Lion dor was cheap, the ho-
tel garden an exquisite place on a
languorous July afternoon, so he loaf
ed and invited his soul not to kick too
impatiently.
Romance entered with the voice Of
Madame Leheude lifted in shrill pro-
test. 1t squawked through the door
way:
at is of an impossibility, Mademoi-
selle, of an impossibility. Never was
the like experienced. Zutt, Made
moiselle is of a graciousness indies
cribable; but the convenances-the
decencies-nay, it is of an incredi-
bihty. Say no more"
The answering voice was ripping
with laughter and its French-Ameri-
can, decidedly so with that clever lit
tie nasal touch indispensable to good
French and imnossible to the English,
dragged daintily. Carstairs was un-
used to such sweet lingerings in Yam
kee speech. He sat up.
"But you take young men with
out chaperons," gurgled the voice.
"Mcv the Mother of God preserve
us! Young men are Young men,"
stionably-unlesS they are
old maids. Ny aunt will arrive as

Nevertheless"
Carstairs appeared on the thresh-
hold and then started back, for she
wasn't plain and she wasn't a trump,
though she was certainly an artist.
She wasn't a good artist, however;
good artists always wear had clothes.
She didn't.

Carstairs, "and Madame must take

There followed eight weeks, dur
ing which the Aunt still failed to
appear and the Uncle nursed his
sickness by German mineral waters;
so the two youngsters loitered, paint
ed, explored together, while the will
age went from shock to shock around
them. Never had two unchaperoned
ones flung themselves so recklessly
over the landscape. At the end of
the summer Margaret was summoned
to ship at Cherbourg and home.
They spent their last afternoon by
the bridge. Above them the great
hill for which the village is named
rose grim against the sky, a mass of
rock vomited heavenward in some
prehistoric age from the very bow

with all the tremendous energy of

wave of long-forgotten fire the town
coiled, loop on loon of it, narrowing,
