The dedicatory exercises in con-
nection with the installation of the

tendance, music was rendered by the
choir under the leadership of Prof.
B. II. Baker. Prof. William r. Stone
sifer gave the delighted people a
taste of the rich tone of the organ.

cred the sermon. He magnified the
spirit of God in church work. DIR.
Warner Brown offered the dedicatory
prayer ]. William Bowman brought
words of cheer and sympathy to the
church, and congratulated pastor and
people for the great success that has
attended their efforts for God and
the city.
DR.. johnson told the church last
night of the call to the pastor by the
state to accept the position of'super-
intendent of missions, with offices in
Philadelphia. A letter was sent to the
church by the convention asking for
his release to this larger fold but
this the church will not do. Tonight
the church will observe his fifth an
niversary and tender himself and
wife a reception. Five years ago last
February, DIR. Cunningham and wife
came to this city to take charge of
work that all considered dead.

Keep the LicenSe-Dairy and Food
Commissioner James Foust in dis
cuSsing the question of whether nut
buffers come under the oleomarga-
rine law said There is no doubt that
nut buffers are oleomargarine and
therefore are subject to all of the
laws on that subject" Commission
er Foust is opposed to the PROPOSE
ton to reduce the retail license fee
which is now 500. There are many
reasons why the retail license should
not be reduced" said the commits
sioner. THE business is now in the
hands of responsible persons and
firms, who observe the law This is
shown by the fact that there are few
prosecutions or complaints. If the
fee was reduced and the bars let
down there would be questions in
VolVing responsible parties, such as
we had to deal with years ago;
there would be unsanitary places and
handling, many prosecutions and a
lot of trouble. The license should be
maintained where it is now" said he.

 Mrs Hayden's father was in the contracting business in Chicago. He started for his old home in Ireland, in response to a request from his aged father. The senior Callan died of shock when he heard of his sons fate.
 The fact that Patrick Callan's nat ura1ization papers went down with the Lusitania complicates the situa- ton because the United States can base it's case only on the citizenship of the victim.
 '"The only thing I object to- said Mrs. Hayden, lis that hanging is the severest penalty which can be in f1icted."
 The facts concerning the Lusitania' S destruction, in the opinion rendered by Federal Judge Mayer of New York will probably be incorporated in the complaint.

FATHER and SON week
PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY Gov
ERNoR GUNTER.
Affords Opportunity for Expression Of
Those Fine Relationships Of
Priceless Value to Boy.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Governor Julius c. Gunter
has issued the following proclama-
tion:
The growing observance of Father
and Son Week has afforded opportun-
ity for the expression of those fine re-
lationships between father and son OF
such priceless value in the life of the
boy. 1t will establish a tie of COM
radship between father and son, which
under pressue of business and other
affairs. is being driven out of the life
of both.
The uniting of the latent powers of
fathers and sons makes not only for
moral and spiritual betterment, but
for economic and social improvement.
1t provides most effective means of
focusing resources of the entire com
munity upon the building of character
in the hearts and lives of both boys
and men.
Owing to the war many will be de-
prived of the privilege of having their
sons with them. but all can enter into
the spirit of the movement. They can
carry before their eyes that stalwart
figure in khaki and receive consola-
tion in the thought of the sacrifice
tina; has been made in just cause.
Nothing is more important than an
intimate and sympathetic relation be-
tween father and son; nothing more
stimulating and helpful to both faith
ers and sons than an intimate feeling
OF comradship and mutual understand
ing
Therefore. |. Julius C. Gunter. COVER
nor of Colorado, do hereby declare
February 11th to 18th as Father and
Son Week, and urge upon the citizens
OF this commonwealth its observance
to the end that the home may be safe
guarded and the democracy OF the
