party of friends at the home of Mrs.
A. E. johnson and daughter, Miss Ethel;
Monday evening in honor of her hus-
bands birthday. Mr.. Belden, thinking
he was invited out for the evening,
was somewhat surprised when the
guests assembled. The evening passed
most pleasantly with music and the
serving of dainty lunch. The birth
each for the past, present and future,
and all burned brightly and evenly'to
the end thus conforming to the wishes
of the friends present that life should
hold no breakers, but flow on in un-

| c. C. Parks, president of the First
National bank of this place, and also
vice president of the First National of
Denver, came over Thursday morning
from Denver and is greeting his many
Glenwood friends and at the same time
congratulating the boys on the splendid
appearance of the First National Of
enwood Springs. Such q complete
transformation has been made that he
tcould scarcely believe his eyes when he
first gazed on the rejuvinated counting
room where he spent so many years IF
activity. 1t is not at all strange that
he did not recognize the place since it
does not contain chair, desk or other
piece of furniture that did service IN
the room prior to the rebuilding. Mr..
Parks says business is improving IN
Denver and he predicts very satisfac
tory conditions in Colorado for 1917 il
We are only able to keep out of war.
