REGISTRATION DAY
PROGRAM OUTLINED

Mr.. L. I. Gifin, chairman
Ways and Means Committee
Ordway, Colorado,
Dear Sir
Many inquiries regarding
the celebration of registra-
tion day, June 3, 1917, have
been received by the War
council. AS a'result the fol-
lowing suggestions are being
issued to the chairman of
the ways and means commit
tees of the several counties
of the state of Colorado in
order that the observance of
the day may, as far as pos
sible, be identical over the
state and nation.
AS preparation for this
occasion it is urged that the
ministers of all the churches
devote their sermons on Sun
day, June 3rd, to a patriotic
discussion of the meaning of
this act of service on the part
of the flower of our young
manhood.
The opening of the regis
tration places over the state
at seven O'Clock in the morn
ing of June 5th, should be
marked with the ringing of
bells, the blowing of steam
whistles and the hosting of
flags on all buildings. Ella
borate and costly decorations
should be discouraged. The
spirit of volunteer service in
all preparation for and acti-
vities of the day should be
foremost.
All registration places
should be decorated with the
national and state flags and
colors.
All celebration during the
hours of registration should
center around the registra-
tion places and would better
be by having delegates from
the various patriotic orders,
particularly the G. A. r., the
Confederate veterans and the
Spanish war veterans, acting
as reception committees out
side the registration places.
In all school rooms in ses-
sion during the day the
teachers should impress the
children with the solemnity
of the occasion and the beau
ty of the spirit of service.
Patriotic meetings immed-
lately at the close of the reg
istration hour should be held
as far as practicable in all
cities thruout the state.
The war council and ways
and means committee rely up
on the several county ways
and means committees to
undertake. this patriotic SER
vice ANDY to enlist in their
support the aid of all relig-
ious. commercial, social and
patriotic societies in their
several counties.
Yours very respectfully

LACE GROWS ON TREES.
Panama Product May Take Place Of
MOSQUITO Netting.

New Orleans, La.-Lace grows on
rec on the isthmus OF Panama. and
the trees grow wild In the swamps.
Captain l.. w. Richards of the steam
ship Norwalk brought a fine sample
not merely as a curiosity. but to induce
tests as to the probable utility Of the
plant or the tree i'm this section.
When the bark Of the limbs is strip
ped there are rolls of flmy substance
of a texture very much like mosquito
netting. The size of these layers In
creases with the size of the tree. the
largest being about n foot in diameter.
The fabric is strong and can be sewn
without tearing.
The natives use the stuff in making
garments. Captain Richards believes
that by cultivation the trees may be-
come very valuable. and If the lace
layers cannot be enlarged some process
may be perfected by which they a be
joined into a fabric which will make
the finest mosquito bar and may ven
serve for summer raiment.
