You see plenty OF signs warning
against loafing, but never any
against working too hard.
Many times, nobody knows as lit
tie about town as the people in it.
In meeting people who are en-
ployed with firms, we have met a
great many, but never yet one who
was just worker. They are all man
ayers.
The word congratulated" is also
greatly overworked.
A man past 80 may think he is as
young as he used to be, and he may
say he is just as young, but he knows
mighty well he is lying.

by saying the first is Il crook we
stop and wonder how much of the

PATRIOTIC
MEETING AT
HIGH SCHOOL
Meeting Called After
Receiving Urgent Mes
sage Calling for 80
Navy Volunteers

In conjunction with a telegram
received from the United States
Navy recruiting Office at Denver,
asking for thirty young men to
enlist ID the navy at once, Prof.
Young held Il patriotic meeting
in the Sedgwick County high
school auditorium last Monday
afternoon at 2:3O.
A number of visitors besides
the pupils of the high school
were in attendance. The singing
of patriotic songs and short talks
by number of our citizens con-
stituted the program for the
afternoon. A wave of patriotism
prevailed and it was a very I'LL
pressive meeting, clearly evidenc.
ing that all present were ready
to do their "bit," in aiding our
country to meet the crisis which
the United States is now facing.
W. NJ. Labaree, representing
the Jnlesburg Commercial Club,
addressed the meeting with
short, but we'll directed talk, out
lining the duties of all true
American citizens, no matter
what their vocation be, in the
event we were ;ieeded for the de-
fense OF our beloved country.
Mr.. Labaree was loudly applauded
at the close of his talk.
Rev. Estabrock, who is engaged
in a series of meetings at the
Congregational church this week,
made most inspiring and patri-
otic talk, and pointed out the
critical situation this country
was facing at this time, and i'm
pressed it upon all present, that
it behooved every true American
citizen at this time to show the
"true colors." We have never
heard a more impressive talk
than this one and it left an in
spiration with all who heard him.
The editor of this paper, in a
few brief remarks, told the gath

which we witnessed in Denver
last Saturday night at the patri-
otic mass meeting held in the
auditorium. at which thousands
of people were present, the large
auditorium being packed, thor
oughiy demonstrating the patrio.
tism displayed in the capital city.
The meeting at the high school
auditorium was closed by the
singing of "America,' the tones
of which rang out through the
high school building, proclaim.

where they held Il conference the

factory in the territory embraced

Many questions were asked BY
the officials of the company, and

which had been gathered. Fol.
lowing this the sugar company
officials agreed to Immediately
investigate the matter thoroug h.
ly and forward their reply to the
