What is the matter with our
light service? Or rather why is
it we have no service? 1t seems
to US the town council should de-
mand better service or quit
spending the peoples money for
lights. The city authorities
should forget personalities, busl'
ness. regulations and sympathy
when they spend money that is
not theirs. The people pay the
bills and should have service
commensurate with the amount
spent.

pleting it's allotment on Novem-
Der II. So far as We have been
able to find out up to this time,
vhe allotment will be one-sixth
of the Third Liberty Loan for
each parish. In a preliminary
way, am asking the papers in the
four parishes to publish THIS
letter and ask the hearty CO.
operation of all citizens in the
different parishes in putting our
allotment over the top quickly.
The boysfrom our district who
are in Farnce are doing wonder
full service and we want to DO
our share to take care OF them
in every way possible. Ii we
can reach every man, woman
and child in this district ana
have them do a little something
in this campaign, we Will noI
only be doing our boys in France
splendid service and assisting
our government in taking care Oh
the boys, but will also be giving
| each individual a chance to 1eel
that he has been of some assls-
| tance in this great crisis.
Regardless of the termination
of the war, the boys will probao-
Ily be abroad for over a year ana
these splendid war activities Will
be as much assistance after the
war closes and before they come
home, as it will be during their
actual war service.
If anyone who happens to read
this appeal. has anything to sug'
gest. we would be glad to have
him write his parish chairman OF
to me direct, and it will be re
ferred to the proper parish.

v. L. Chucovich, q friend Of many
years., his last words were concerning
the many matters which have been In
bis hands for q closer cooperation
with the government service on the
part Of Denver. and a coordination OF
the city's best energies and minds for

Then he closed his eyes. From that

supported Thompson was then 8 question It may be yet, to certain degree. among those with a pacifst, pro-G German or socialistic leaning, but if there is any regard for the candi- date and those who were instrumental .n putting him forth there are good reasons for believing that the strength which was displayed in Thcmpson's behalf will now be thrown to Lenroot-
 Reason for this is furnished by the action of Thompson in offering his services to Lenroot almost immediate ly following the totainng of the returns showing the choice of the latter, and urging the republicans who support ed him to cast their votes for the re- publican nominee. That is where they would naturally go except that they should turn to the socialist can didate but. the action of Thompson in- dicates that such is not likely.
 Efforts have been made to dispar- age the loyalty of Lenroot, but it is purely political. There is no ques- tion as to his Americanisn and there is no question but what if he is elect ed he will stand as firmly behind the president as he has since this coun- try entered the war.

AMERICAN TROOPS IN PlcARDY.

When General Pershing called upon General Foch and offered the services of his. army to the one who has been selected as the generalissime of the allied armies in the west every Amer ican was proud of the fact that his country was going to have an immediate and greater part in the fighting of the greatest foe of civ- ilization. A still greater thrill comes from the announcement that the American troops are already on the move and that they are going to fight shoulder to shoulder with the British and French on the battlefields of Pi- cardy for the turning back of the hordes which the Hun leaders are pouring into that region.
 In addition to the sections of the western battle line which are being held by American forces there are 100000 trained American soldiers ready and eager to do their part in pushing back the enemy. More are going to be supplied just as fast as time and distance will permit and the only regret today is that instead ot the 100000 the United States isn't able to throw ten or twenty times as many into the fray for the preservation oi the safety of the world.
 Just at the present time there has been both a letting up in the drive by the Teutonic forces and at the same time there has been a strength. ening of the lines held by the French and British. That the lattel has had it's effects in stopping tn, progress of the Germans is plainly in eicated. That the central power, have not abandoned their undertakin, can be anticipated but there are ex cellent reasons for believing that the, have shot their heaviest bolt and iron now on will encounter greater re sistsnce which win spell defeat fo their object.

formation concerning Vologda, the Russian provincial city to which Am baSsador Francis and the members of his staff went when they were forced to leave Petrogad:
 with a population of 10000, the city of Vologda, which was founded nearly | 800 years ago. is the capital of the government or province of Vologda, a vast district having an area equal l to that of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia combined, but with population of only a million and a half. less than 1 60,000 of whom live in towns.
 Situated 371 miles by rail east of Petrograd and 289 miles northeast of Moscow, Vologda at the outbreak of the war had some commercial inn portance, enjoying trade in flax, hemp, linseed, oats, butter, eggs, hides, tallow and candles, but it's prosperity was in no small degree commensurate with it's thriving industry during the ! 18th century when it was the chief base of suplies for the White Sea port
 of Archangel when the latter carried on brisk trade with England and | Holland. With the founding of St 1 Petersburg Russian trade moved west ward, and Vologda was left in a com mereial eddy or baekwater.
 "The history of Vologda dates back to 1147, and there is still standing a 12 century church to commemorate the towns birth. During it's early days it suffered much from the rivalry which existed between Novgorod and
 Moscow. Originally belonging to the former, it was annexed to Moscow ir 1447, just a century before it entered upon it's era of greatest prosperity
 with the founding of Archangel ir
 1858. | "Vologda was plundered by the
 Poles at the beginning of the 17tf i century and in 164S was devastated by the plague, but it recovered rapidly from both blows, maintaining it's com. mercial importance until Peter trt Greats capital on the Neva eclipset it's glory.
 One of the most interesting build
 ings in Vologda is the Cathedral of St
 Sophia, erected under the patrenag,
 of Ivan the Terrible in 1570 It i
 modelled after the Uspenski Cathedra
 of Moscow.
 Practically the 'onlyt important in dustry in Vologda is ce-making, al though at the beginning of the wa | there were several distilleries and tan | neries located there."
