on his return from Washington.
u. {. Governor Gunter told the
council members at their meeting
OH April9, that Colorado's efforts
and the tremendous results OBJ
tanned were iuliy appreciated by
department heads at Washington.
Due praise is given the state. he
said. for the advance mobilization
last summer Of Colorado's troops
and for the fact that her soldiers
were drilled and uniformed before
being mustered into service in
the federal army.and that each
boy was sent from the stae with

treasury, in his pocket. This con-

Patriotic Meeting
A Grand Success

One of the best meetings of the
kind ever held i'll Arvada was the
Patriotic mass meeting held last
Friday evenig at the Presbyterian
church. The attendance, notwitr-
standing the fact that the even
ing was threatened to be spoiled
as before by rain, was greater
than could be accommodated by
even standing room and the inter-
est manifested was great. May
or Richard Russell presided over
the meeting in dignitied and
pleasing manner.
The audience was first greeted
with mnsic by the High School
Orchestra after which the invo-
cation was pronounced by Rev.
Sanderson. There were Il lev
choruses and various other i'll
teresting performances which de-
lighted the audience and showed
that our school children are in
no way neglected in their training
in the spirit OF patriotism. Miss
Schultz presided at the piano for
the grade pupils,while Prof. john
son presided during a number OF
special selections.
Hon. Richard Broad, Jr., OF
Golden, County Chairman Of th4
Council Of Defense, was the first
speaker and as we predicted in
spired his audience with a new
zeal and realization of their duty
to their country. The burden of
his theme was that we should
all make great sacrifices in order
to be able to help Uncle Sam to
win the war. He divulged much
information concerning the great
system adopted by the govern
ment for financing the war with
out initiating the currency and DC
preciating the money in the indi-
vidual's pockets. In appealing to
his hearers to practice economy
IS Z patriotic duty, he said he be-
Geved a man who drove his auto
mobile just as far now as he did
before the war was not as patriot
sc as he shOr1d he
He was followed by Judge. Har-
~ 5. Class, OF the District Court,
who. by the way, has two young
boys in Uncle Sans army. The
Judge spoke in a most optimis-
tic manner and made his audit
ence see the silver lining in the
dark war clouds that are now ho-
vering over the nation. The late
ness of the hour placed him at a
great disadvantage and he felt it
necessary to cut his speech short
rather than to keep the-a,,diencc
so late, it being almost ten
o'clock when he began to speak.
Everyone i'll attendance felt
we'll repaid for going and there is
no question but that this meeting
had a great bearing upon the re-
suits of the Liberty Loan drive
for which principally it was held.
and that great and lasting good
will come from it.
a most impressive feature OF
evening was the unfurling of the
Service Flag and the reading OF
the names thereon by the mayor.
