Red Cross Drive
Fairly Successful

Red Cross week has been observed
in Arvada and the committees have
worked diligently getting subscrip-
tions. While the subscriptions have
been in small amounts, almost
everybody has given something or
expressed desire to give. 20. Many
have given quite generously for
heir circumstances, while to the
casual observer some have given
sparingly and not by any means in
proportion to their circumstances in
comparison with others.
We are regretful to say that while
all the money is not in hand yet Bnd
the work is still incomple tie, judging
from the present returns Arvada
will fall far below her quota.
Golden raised $500 in one day,
while as yet Arvada has not reached
IL fourth of that amount, We under
stand, too. that the amounts per
capita in Golden scarcelt exceeded
average person gave literally.
Some however, in Arvada gave
literally but there have not been
enough of the generous ones to make
up the shortage.
This is different case from the
ordinary every day call that comes
to us. Those who are lucky enough
to be left Mt home must sacrifice for
the ones who leave everything be-
hind and march bravely away.
1t is for the care of these men
that the money you subsribc goes,
every dollar of it. ~

H. j. Juehem, Senator Staley

Moberly were Arvada repre-
sentatives at the meeting at the
Court house in Golden. Friday
for the purpose of organizing q
Jefferson county War Council to

State and National organizations.
The meeting was attended by
probably fifteen or twentyJeffer.
son county citizens and officials
and was addressed by Mr. Cor
nell who has been engaged
organizing all the counties of
the State. He stated that pract-
ically all counties except Jefferson
were already organized and doing
BUSINESS.
He gave a very instersting talk
first as to the need of such -
organization and as to its oper-
alton in conserving all of the
Resources of the country and
particularly the food stuffs.
The plan is to protect the far.
mer by giving him a minimum
price for his produce and to
protect the miller for instance,
by giving him reasonable profit
for turning out a hundred pounds
of flour. The middle mans
profit will be eliminated because
the war council will act as a med.
iator between the consumer and
the producer.
The work of the war council
will be to construct warehouses
that will preserve produce for
several months so that not all IL
to be thrown upon the market at
the same time. These would be
government bonded warehouses
and the producer would take his
produce there and take q recent
which he could then take to q
bank and get cashed. This 10
only one among the many prac.
tical suggestions which lack Of
space and time forbids mention.
Richard Broad was elected az
Chairman of the organization
and C. M. Lawrence Secretary.
A meeting will be held tonight
to complete the organization by
appointing various committees.

that Walter was drowned while

Bonds to Maintain Men Fire
as God Ever Looked Upon

"rhe loan is for the purpose of
maintaining as fine a body of men
as God ever looked upon" said United
States Attorney John E. Laskey'at a
meeting held in the Tyler School last
night.
And If these men are willing to
give their lives for their country" he
added, why should not you be willing
to loan your money!
The meeting was held under the aus
pices of Southeast Washington Citi-
zens' Association. the Cranch-Tyler
School and Home Association and the
Community Association. A. G.. Herr
mann. president of Southeast Wash
ington Citizens Association, presided
and music was furnished by Naval Gun
Factory Band.
Mr.. Laskey urged his hearers to sub
scribe to the liberty loan without de-
lay. What the government needs at
this time, he said. is the force of mum
bers.
Let the people get behind the loan
in magnitude of numbers" he said
"and indicate to the allies we are with
them and to the Germans that we
are after them"
He urged that people practice a lit
tie self-denial and do without things
they really do not need. Then. he
stated, they will be able to assist their
country and themselves with abso-
lutely nothing but a little inconveni-
enee A. r. Pinci. native Of Italy
