State Sunday School
Convention In Denver

Sunday School workers through
out the state are interested in the
state convention, which convenes
in Denver May 14-15-16 At a
recent meeting of superintendents
and pastors of Denver, it was voted
unanimously to entertain all out
of town delegates on the Harvard
plan. which gives them lodging
and breakfast. AS a response to
this generous invitation, it is ex-
pected thpt at least a thousand del
egates will avail themselves of the
opportunity to attend the conven-
ton. The Denver County Sun
day School association is planning
to enroll the same number of dele
gates.
The quality of the program ar
ranged for this convention makes
it an unusual one. The program
committee has secured some of the
best known Sunday School leaders
in America and promises rare
treat to those who attend. The
program will have many features
prominent among which will be
the music. Prof. E. o. Excel and
Mr.. Alvin w. Roper, both Of
Chicago, will have charge of this
part of the convention. They are
well known throughout the Sun
day School world. and their COM
ing guarantees rare musical
treat. Daily conferences for
workers in the various departments
of the Sunday School have been
arranged for the discussion of
practical problems. This makes
the program helpful and -sugges-
tive. and every Sunday School in
the state should be represented in
the convention. A special COM
mittee has arranged several en-
tertainment features for the visit
ing delegates that will add much
to the pleasure and profit of the
occasion.

Why a Dollar Buys
But Little BeefSteak

Even at the prevailing high
price of meat, the retail butcher
claims to be losing money, and
says the wholesale meat man is
not making anything either. The
big price goes to the stockraiser.
He is the man who is making the
money.
J. H. Nankervis, proprietor of
the Peoples Market of this city
has figured it out for the Siftings
Just what dressed beef costs the
butcher and what he gets out of it
Take as example the following:
Nineteen steers at an average
weight of 1850 pounds. selling at
$1665 per cwt., cost the whole
saler $24142 each.
At above price a 1000 pound
steer would cost Sl6665. The hide
and offalls would bring $500,
leaving Sl5l.5O. The loss in dress
ing amounts to 40 percent, leaving
60 percent as the dressed beef, or
600 pounds costing $l5l.5O, which
is PSI cents per pound.
This is not giving the packer
anything for buying, dressing or
handling the same.
Now, take as an example 800
r3unds of dressed beef costing the
FETAL butcher 254 cent pound,
or $125.25 for the 800 pounds.
Express and burlap costs him l
centa pound and there is a shrink
age of percent in transit, increas-
ing the cost to S133.S7. When he
sells this meat at prevailing retail
prices he has lost $9.9l, as the
following table will show, and
there is nothing figured in for ex-
penses of conducting the business,
loss from bad accounts, etc.
The question is "where will the
butcher get off,"

Red Cross Notes

The Idaho Springs Chapter of
the American Red Cross continues
to do good work. There are loyal
members who devote a consider.
able portion of their time to the
important work, and they do it
gladly and willingly. Others who
could be doing great deal, do but
little. by their work they are
known.
During the past week two ship
ments of gauZe were sent forward.
One consisted of 1924 pieces, the
other 2OO0 pieces.
Red Cross members should not
lose sight of the fact that all mem
berships expire in May, and re-
newals will be expected.
Mayor E. NJ. Moscript was down
to Denver this week to attend the
conference of Red Cross leaders.
Another big drive will be launched
on May 20 to raise another hun
dred million dollars for Red Cross
work. Nothing much will be said
about this coming drive until after
the close of the Liberty Bond
campaign \ hundred million
was raised easily last year and the
people are now fully aroused to
the greater necessity of raising the
money than they were year ago.
