for the table," says the warning.
Where bread is baked in the home,

Where suspicion is excited, there
should be thorough investigation.

this service the doors of the church
will be closed. Participants are re-

and not come in and go out of the
church and thus disturb those who
are endeavoring to sincerely worship
God. Visitors are kindly requested
to respect our wishes in this matter.
Members of the church are expected
to be exemplary in this wise.

Christmas Day of 1917 will not
easily be forgotten by the guests to
whom Mr.. and Mrs. William M. Glib
son of 1890 Gilpin were host, as the
entertainment in the form of din

for any war ills that might have been
causing a little furry in the minds OF
those who were invited to this par
ticular function. Dinner was served
on the rear porch of the beautiful
dwelling, and covers were laid for the
following: Mesdames Cannon, Lee,
Hatwood, Morris; Misses Tucker and

Decorations in the most artistic
fashion presented a charming aspect,
while miniature Christmas tree,
placed in the center of the table, lent
an appetizing effect to the good
things that were provided. Music,
soft and stealing, waited through the
air to the enjoyment of the diners,
which was furnished by Mr.. Williams.
After the interchanging of Christ
mas Fluctuations the guests departed,
each declaring Mr.. and Mrs. Gibson
entertainers of the highest order.

LABOR BULLETIN SENDS GREET
iNGS.

A S IN the order of individuals
~ so with the PRESS, and II
gives us great pleasure to ac-
knowledge the receipt of card from
our brother editors, Clint c. Houston
and Edward j. Hines, with whom we
have been associated for several
years in a fraternity that only true
advocates of the cause of labor can
understand and appreciate. This card,
very neatly gotten up, has on the one
side a beautiful pictorial effect of the
achievements of united labor, also an
indication of great possibilities repre-
scented by a man with a powerful
telescope on the lookout, riding over
the waves with the following informa-
tion and greeting: Nineteen Seven
teen has been the most successful
and prosperous in all the twelve
years of our publication. Thank
youi" "A Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year. as we go over the
top into what promises to be the
most epochal year in the annals of
Christendom." On the side for ad-
dress is the nations flag, which is
the Union Labor flag, with the words,
May she ever continue to wave as
the emblem of Liberty" under
meath it. That UNITED LABOR is
asserting itself universally, and that
it is receiving Endorsement on all
sides, no one will deny, and now that
its power and influence are receiving
better recognition as discriminatory
attitudes relative to race or creed are
being buried or thrust aside, there is
every reason to hope for the year
1918, a greater success for the organi-
zation, the news journal and every
thing connected Herewith. The COLO
RADIO STATESMAN wishes many
years of success to the LABOR
BULLETIN with a stronger determi-
nation to carry on the cause of the
weak and the just to a finality that
will commend itself to the present
and future generations.
