Members of the Post chapel, as well
as employees in other mechanical de-
partments of the Denver Post, were
given an agreeable surprise Monday
forenoon of this week. Each was hand
ed reserve seat tickets for himself and
family to the Sells-Floto circus for
| Tuesday nights performance. This
circus is owned by the proprietOrs of
the Post, as it has been for many years
past, but this is the first occasion that
so much liberality and courtesy was
shown upon its annual exhibition in
Denver.
/ D. Mex. Whyte is again steadily
employed in the Post ad room, after
vacation of several weeks, looking
hale, optomistic and satisfied.
There was large attendance of
members of No 40 at the funeral last

shot by his brother, Frederick Knill,
aged twelve. In addition to many
printers, numerous sympathetic friends
attended the funeral service, held in
Horan chapel. Burial was in the Lit
tleton cemetery.
Jake Wander Perel is a victim of un-
preparedness. He took a party of
friends from Denver up to Boulder
canon on July 4, in his high power
automobile. When the favorite spot
for spreading the lunch was reached,
Jake discovered that the eats and
grape juice had been left at home.
This created panic among the guests
and Jake has not as yet recovered from
ized-good, strong word.
Harry Smith is taking his midsum-
mer vacation on the north side. He
is thereby saving the waste and help
ing to win the war.
William Tanner has been reelected
chairman of the Post chapel. If there
is any one thing that Bill bankers for
more than another it is more trouble.
Fred Moore, apprentice in the Post
ad room, has postponed completion of
his art preventative studies until after
the war He joined the federal artil-
lery at Fort Logan this week.
William A Collins is one of the
most successful white collar city farm
ers affiliated with No. 40. He has
ten square feet, more or less, planted
in potatoes, and announced this week
that after panstaking exploration to
bloom he discovered small tubers
All of which gives Bill hope of sue
cessfully combating H. C. L.
No. 49 has the unique distinction of
having upon its active membership
rolls father and son who have enlisted
/ in the federal army, both now in
training at Fort Logan. The father is
