ODD FELLOWS THANKSGIVING
SERVICE LAST SUNDAY-AN
ELABORATE EVENT.

THE Odd Fellows of Denver ed
up to the reputation OF the
= "three-link fraternal organiza-
ton, when they succeeded in surpass-
ing all previous efforts of their annual
celebration-not in an improvement OF
the ritualistic form of the ceremony,
but in the very noticeable feature OF
using more of the younger members
of the Order to carry out efficlently
the program for the day. Led by the
Queen City band the procession under
Grand Marshal Joseph d. d. Rivers
marched from their lodge rooms, 263O
Welton street, to Twenty-third street,
thence to Shorter Church, where the
sisters from the Household of Ruth,
presenting a splendid spectacle by
their uniformity of dress, ETC., joined
the procession. The committee OF ar
rangements provided a beautiful pro-
gram, every item of which was carried
out with marked effect and received
the highest commendation from the
very large congregation, whose inter
est increased with each succeeding
number of the program. Miss Bea-
trice Stamps, as Mistress of Ceremony,
excelled herself The paper read by
Miss Maud Adams gave graphic de-
order and specially impressed the au-
ditors with the usefulness of the femi-
nine auxiliary of the Order. Another
paper and instrumental solo by two jul
veniles were well received, as also
vocal solo by Mr.. Chas. A. Clark, pop
ular tenor Professor George Morri-
son, who possesses musical ability OF
more than ordinary degree, is becom-
ing more proficient in supplying new
charms for his audiences in featuring
his violin playing, and ably assisted
by the rising noted Denver musician,
Valaurez Spratlin, whose accompanl-
ment and Interpretation of the various
compositions compel the attention of
his hearers, contributed in a mastery
manner to the success of the program.
]. S. Stewart. the chaplain for several
years, occupied his position again and
with the same deep religious fervor
invoked Heavens continuance of
blessings on the Grand United Order.
Rev. C. A. Williams, pastor of the
church, made stirring appeal for the
kind of secret service in Odd Fellow
ship that can withstand the criticism
of the world, and impressed his hear
ers to adhere closer to the principles
of the order, the same resulting in
their becoming beacon lights in the
community and helpers in the service
of the Master A splendid Free-Will
offering was taken up and presented
to the various departments of the
church.
After the closing song, God Be
With You Till We Meet Again." the
procession was reformed and the
brethren repaired to their lodge
rooms. This event marked the seven
tv-fifth anniversary of the Grand
United Order of Odd Fellows and Den
yer in no small measure subscribed
her part nobly in offering thanks for
the preservation of the Order for these
many years.
Continue the good cause is the wish

Y. M. C. A. GLEE CLUB GIVES AR
TISTIC MUSICAL TREAT AT
ZION BAPTIST CHURCH
SUNDAY LAST.

That this aggregation of voices and
strings intend to arouse the dormant
musical passion in our city is evil
denced by the rendition they gave at
Zion Baptist church last Sunday even
ing. The church was capacity filled,
and the rapt attention of the audi
ence was an indication that their musi-
cal souls were being aflamed with ap-
probation that would give physical
proof of applause, but as the order Of
action was the substituting of evening
service, regular Divine worship and
not a concert, the audience abided the
rules of the sacred edifice. Mr.
George Gross, in a short address on
The Nations Homage Shall Be
Theirs" gave a few interesting init
nations of the part we are playing in
this, the great worlds conflict and IN
a neat ten-minute address empha-
sized our devotion to our country's
duty. MessE. Hewetson-Watson and
Valaurez Spratlin, directors and ac-
companist respectively, did their parts
commercially, while Secretary Bell, in
his usual forceful, parsonic way, read
the Scriptures, and the voices ana
strings were congratulated for their
efforts of a few months. Rev. ID. e.
Over. being pleased with the attempt,
extended an invitation for the future.
A splendid offering was taken up.

WAR GARDENS OF GREAT VALUE
TO NATION.

n the second page OF this pa
~ n per is to be seen a picture
which must bring home tJ
us the help the individual
~ can give to this nation by do.
ing his or her bit which
gets recognition and is credited with
the same spirit as the man on the fir
ing line. The portraits represent men
OF different races and natiOnalities,
each with determination depicted on
his physiognamy TO contribute even in
this particular to insure victory for
our side and success 10 our arms.
These men are business men, very
busy as usual, yet they can find some
time to devote to a war garden,
which will help to reduce the con
sumption of the regular food and by
this order of conservation, our troops
and those OF our allies will be well
maintained. This picture, which con
veys the spirit that ought to prevail
in America shows that it will take
all classes, races and nations to put
the worlds foe to flight, and the
sooner we stop the measuring of arms
with one another and unite our
forces to defeat this power of ruth
less ruin and destruction the better
ii will be for us. Another act which
lends beauty to this picture is the gen
erous nature of the Denver Water
Company in supplying the water for
these gardens free of charge, the same
offering a substantial evidence that
there must be a oneness OF action and
Il united front in helping this cause,
which merits so much more of our per-
sonal efforts. We are proud of our
citizens who have resolved to prove
to the world that PRACTICE and not
sentiment is the agency that guides
them in this bloodiest of all struggles,
and the thought permeating all of us
at this time is, "All legitimate means
will be employed by us for VICTORY
OR DEATH"

KTRS. MARTHA A. SHUTE,
N the Water Company ex-
- " = rort e,Ue. Thara ie oraa4

TRS. MARTHA A. SHUTE,
Ml the Water Company ex-
pert, says: There is great
danger in the use of poison of
any kind in the War Garden.
The results desired can be OBJ
tained by safe and sane meth
DDS. For the protection of the
plants from sparrows, one plan
is to cover them with mosquito
bar, using half hoops with ends
stuck in the ground to hold the
bar up. Another effective way
which worked admirably last
year, is to scatter fresh horse
manure between the drills or
rows in the garden not touching
the plants. This will keep the
oparrows very busy as they pre-
fer this to tender lettuce or beet
plants.
Last year some gardeners
adopted the method of traps"
to catch the sparrows. Some OBJ
lection might be made to this as
all gardeners are not able to dis
tinguish the sparrows from other
birds. The sparrow does not eat
green food when it can secure
anything else. They prefer the
garbage can to tender plants.
Mrs. Shute emphatically urges
people not to use poison to kill
out worms which are now cut
ting off cabbage, caulifower, to-
mato and pepper plants. The
only sensible protection against
these pests is to use paper COL
lars. Cut from firm paper mot
pasteboard) five by twelve inch
es, lap three inches and pin. AS
the plants are being set in the
ground, examine the ground for
cut worms, then place the collar
about the plant setting two inch
es below the surface. Stamp the
soil firmly about the collar. Cut
worms work at night and remain
in hiding during the day.
Under no circumstances use
any device made of tin around
your plants for it draws the heat
will surely scorch or burn
and cause the plants to wither
and die. This was very much in
evidence in the gardens last
year through the use of tin cans.
1t is a good plan to place pieces
of board, brick or stiff paste
board on the ground and the
worms will crawl under them at
daylight and can be destroyed.
Never scatter poisoned bran
mash around the garden as it is
the most dangerous of poisons.
The sun hardens it into Jumps
and not only birds but children
and pets might pick it up.

SHOT GUNS

The German government charges the American gov
eminent with brutality and violation of The Hague reg
ulations in using shot guns as weapons of war. The
Germany will undertake reprisals. Secretary Lansing, in
his reply, does not deny the shot guns, but does deny
that they are contrary to The Hague regulations. He in
dicates no disposition on the part Of the American gov
eminent to discontinue their use, and in the matter of
reprisals he bids the Germans go to it, but to expect some
unpleasant consequences. 1nasmuch as Americans and
American property in Germany are to Germans and
German property in the United States as hundreds to
thousands, and the chances are that when it comes to
reprisals the Germans will be mighty cautious.
As to what The Hague conventions prescribe, in the
absence Of first-hand knowledge on the subject, we pre-
fer the Interpretation of our own secretary of state to
that Of the German government, as the latter has DEM
onstrated its untrustworthiness in almost every way
known to man. ,-
Aside from all regulations on the subject, what's the
matter with a shot gun, anyway? 1t Is true that it does
bullet, but its shorter range and lesser power may off
set that. And in what particular is it less humane to
wound a man by means Of a charge of shot than by
means of a jagged fragment Of an exploded shell, splin-
tiers Of rock projected by the explosion, of fragments of
metal showered on him from above from a shrapnel
shell? AS a matter of fact, the shot gun is as humane
as any of the modern weapons except the rifle, in addi-
ton to being a lot handler than most of them.
Protests against the inhumanity of anyone, under
any circumstances, coming from the German govern
nnent, would be funny if they were not so exasperatlng.

MUST HAVE BEEN ONE OR OTHER

A magazine devoted to the promotion of the public
Of public utilities has the following:
Another municipal plant that has kept down
rates is the very successful electric light department
of the city of Pasadena, California. The annual re-
port just issued shows an increase in gross receipts
and steady developments Of the plant in practically
every direction in spite Of increased cost of operation,
although as might be expected, there has been a
slight decrease in the net receipts. But in this case,
as in the others mentioned, the municipal plant has
kept down. che rates. The base rate charged for
lighting remains at S cents per kilowatt hour, the
same as during the seven preceding years of munic-
ipal ownership. The base rate was ~ IL cents per
kilowatt hour charged by the private plant at the
time the municipal plant was started.
If the facts are as stated, the Pasadena plant is los
ng money now; was making too much before the war
,r is enabled to keep down it's relative costs by increase
business due to the growth Of the city. or to some othe
factors Of a special character. =,

WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 2, 1918.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Unless the subject is revived, which seems unlikely
ut this time. the federal enfranchisement of women by
constitutional amendment is indefinitely postponed. By
= close vote. a full account of which was published in
The Herald at 4:30 p. m-Central time-on Tuesday,
the senate declined to follow the advice given by the
president in his address of Monday, a full account of
which was published in The Herald at 3 p. m.-also
Central time-on Monday.
When the matter of woman suffrage was first
brought to his attention after his Inauguration Presi-
dent Wilson said very distinctly that he was convinced
that tho subject was one for each state to decide for it.
Ben. He supported this opinion with arguments which
were clearly stated, and which appeared to be logical.
At that time he had not indicated whether or not he be-
neved it wise for a state to enfranchise woman, but later.
when the issue was presented in his own state, he ex-
pressed as in favor Of female suffrage for that state,
Ind voted accordingly. >.
More recently the president has become an ardent
champion of federal enfranchisement of women. and
hence has favored the submission of a proposed amend
their approval or rejection. The reasons for the presi-
1ents change of attitude on this question have not been
well understood, and in his address on Monday, in
which he urged woman suffrage by the particular
method Of constitutional amendment in the interest of
HE winning Of the war, the president was certainly less
Convincing than he has been in any other address in
which he has touched on war subjects.
notwithstanding all the controversy that there has
been on the subject, the wisdom or unwisdom of enabling
women to vote Is not involved in the present situation.
Women vote now in several states. One woman is a
member of the federal house Of representatives, and
there is nothing to hinder other women from suffrage
states from being elected to congress provided they can
get the people of their own states to vote for them. The
women of any state can have the franchise at any time,
II they can persuade their own people to give it to them
The question involved, therefore, is not whether women
sha1l or shall not vote. but whether the right to designate
those who shall vote shall be taken from the states,
which now have exclusive jurisdiction over that subject,
barring only the color line, and transferred to the fed
sra1 government land whether or not, through this trans.
ter of jurisdiction. woman suffrage shall be forced on
those Of our sates-and there are several of them-in
which it is felt by most intelligent people that such a
change would multiply and intensity the social problems
which. in those states. are already sufficiently compli-
rated and embarrassing. -
That the refusal Of the senate to approve and sub
nit this amendment is "a demonstration of hostility to
woman suffrage is sufficiently refuted by the fact that
one of its strongest opponents was Senator Borah, who
has been an ardent champion of woman suffrage in his
Dwn state for years.
