Red Cross Drive to-
Begin Next Monday

Another Red Cross drive for
memberships for 1918 will be
made next week, when all who
arc already members are urged
to renew their memberships even
though they do run into the year
1918. 1t will help tn bring up the
quota of membership to the stand
ard set, l5,00O,000, instead of a.
600, 900 as at present. While Of
course the dollar you pay for
membership will do great deal
of good in relieving the suffering
OF humanity which is looking to
the Red Cross for succor, it will
be worth much more to the cause
from the MORAL effect it will have
toward winning the war. When
you have Joined you will become
|tntereetnd and viii want IN heip
after you know what your help
means.
w, II, Robinson has been made
the chairman OF membership in
this community for the 1918 drive
and he is busy getting his organ
ization into shape. Monday, De
ccmbcr 18th. the drive will be ON
in earnest. 1t will be preceded
Sunday BY announcements from
the pulpits. A booth will be
place in the post office, where il
will be convenient for every citi
zen to give his or her name and
money.
In the large uities a regular pro-
gram will be carried out which
will not be applicable in all the
points to smaller towns, but SO
far as possible, it will bc>obscrved
in Arvada. Thursday. the teach
crs in our public schools will be
expected to give appropriate talks
to instill the spirit into the minds
of their pupils, and on the Thurs
day night before Christmas the
Red Cross service flags are to b.
displayed from the windows Of
our homes by having a light back
of them. In these things Krvada'
can enter into the full spirit of
the program.
On Wednesday of next week,
the Red Cross organizations are
expected to meet and make a
thorough canvas for memberships
and workers.
The last Red Cross drive tor
memberships in this vicinity re-
suited in quite large enrolment.
but there is large percentage of
the citizcnry who are not even
members. or If they are they are
doing absolutely nothing for this
very urgent work. Can they not
now see their way clear to join
and spend some of the long win
ter evenings knitting and doing
something for their country and
for the boys who have gone forth
to make the sacrifice for the pro-
lection Of those who are left be-

Town Board Trans.

The town board held its regu-
lar monthly meeting Monday ev-
CHING with all members, inrlud-
ing the mayer, present.
Aside from passing ON the bills
there was not n great deal of bus
mess tn transact. The different
committees OF the present board
transact the majority OF the bus
mess of their departments, so
that midnight sessions seem to
be uncalled for in taking care of
the towns business. However,
each committee makes reports
and suggestions to be acted upon
are Offered and disposed of asa
cording to the best judgment Of
the cntirc body,
], A. Gorich, chairman of the
Water committee, reported that
the break IN the water line under
the trnmway would be repaired
in u few days and that the total
expense would probably be in
the ncighborhood of 5000. Ow-
ing to the nature OF the break it
is probable that the Tramway ca.
will have to bear the msjor I,or-
ton of the expense. as ithas been
shown that the pipes have deter
ioratcd on account of the cleo
trolsis. A test was made with an
instrument and il was found that
the piprs were carrying quite a
heavy voltage. Arrangements
are being made by the Tramway
company to create a circuit be-
tween the rails of the tracks so
that the electric current will not
be carried to the pipes in the fu-
turc.
The matter Of removing the
public watering trough to 4 moro
desirable plaeo was considered,
and the Water committee was
authorized to attend to this mat
ter with view of removing the
trough across the street and away
from the corner 30 thss both iOlii
and vehicle traffic will not bc in

it will be placed on Wadsworth
ditch bank. about twenty or thir-
ty feet south Of the Grsmdvicw
street crossing, as this seems to
be the most desirable place.
Night Marshal Olson suggested
that there should be electric
lights in the alleys in the rear OF
the business houses and also tina,
there should BE- an all night seized,

High School Fair
IS Grand Success

One of the most beautiful and
patriotic programs that it has
been our pleasure to attend was
given at the high school last
Saturday evening. The nature
and purpose of the Fair is about
as follows:
The girls of our high school
and the girls Of the eighth grade
have an organization known ~
the "Arvada High School Knit
ting Club" This club has been
doing knitting for quite i while,
and conceived tho idea that It
would be a patriotic thing to get
up fair. The purpose was to
raise money for the adoption OF
a French child or children. Il
takes %7S.W to keep one child
two years, and the girls started
in to make that amount.
They worked hcroically and
pcrsistcntly for several days max
inS pIeVaTat1OnSs
1t must not be omitted that the
teachers lent noble assistance and
supervision.
Booths Of various kinds were
prepared and were presided over

II would be difficult to say who
did the best. All did so we'll and
worked SO tremendously and NO
willingly that il was a pleasure
to have such u program.
Over ESQ people attended.
The total sum taken in was
$500. No expense to speak of.
hence the girls efforts were
crowned with success financially.
They even went beyond their
fondcst expectations.
Now they have enough money
to adopt two French children for
one year.
Some little French children
who are fathcrlcss and homeless.
will be kept by the efforts Of the

Information for Registered Men.
The United States Government
must secure 5000 radio or buzz

nal Corps has asked The College
of Engineering of the University
of Colorado to assist in the train
ing Of such operators from the
ranks Of the men who are shortly
to be called to the cantonmcnts.
We are informed by the au-
thoritics at Washington that
drafted men who attain the re-
quircd proficiency are practical
ly certain of rapid promotion and
increased pay in the Army. The
ranks of corporal and sergeant.
with a wage of from $3G to

Our plan is to hold both day

Grafton and others will be formed
as needed. This work will con.
tinuc indefinitely. Our purpose
is to retain radio or buzzcr opera

MORE GOOD ADVICE.

Looking ahead to next Win
ter, Herbert G. Hoover urges
that the American people eat
more vegetables and less meat
and bread this summer.
That's good advice any time;
and it is especially good now.
In summer fresh vegetables
are plenty, and if the home gar
deners stick manfu.ly to their
tasks they should be cheap. A
maximum of fresh stuff from
the garden and a minimum of
meat and bread during the
warm weather is not only good
dietetics, but sound economy.
If the country follows it there
will be less waste of fresh vege-
tables and more meat and bread
saved for next winter.
Probably this country does
not yet realize the deadly seri-
BUSINESS of the necessity of
studying food economy. newt
ably it will realize it to the full
next winter; and it will be well
for it if it can use its magma
ton and realize it now. The
more it is realized now, and the
more wholesome food economies
are practiced now, the less suf-
fering there will be next Win
ter.
Millions of men who ought to
be raising food are fighting.
Transportation of food stuffs is
hampered by land and sea. I'm
der such circumstances there
could not fail to be a serious
shortage of food practically ev-
erywhere. With serious short
age of food everywhere the
study of food economy is i'm
perative.
1t is far better to scatter mon
ey to the birds lavishly than it
is to waste a crust of bread

DON'T MENTION 1T, PLEASE

The wod patriot" is a word
that no true patriot can afford
to apply to himself or even to
his friends. Even so, he who
speaks Of himself as a gentle
man is deservedly in danger of
being regarded as merely gentle
manly. In either case it goes
without saying that you have
the quality in question; only
say you have it, and you have
it not. The moment love of ones
country, and all that inhabits
there, is thought of as patriot
ism," the best Of it's spiritual
fragrance is lost. AS soon as
welded lovers begin to discuss
love together-or sadder still,
with other people there is an
end in sight; they are begin
