DNEWsPAPER MEN NOT
EXEMPT, RULES cROWDER

Employees Of newspapers, no mat
ter in what capacity, are not entitled
to deferred classification in the draft,
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has informed state authorities. BY
this decision he reversed a recent
ruling by Syracuse exemption
board which held that a newspaper
employee was a necessary industrial
enterprise.
The provost marshal generals Or
der says:
ut appears that registrants engag-
ed as employees Of newspapers or
engaged in general newspaper work
are not engaged in an industrial en-
terprise within the meaning OF the
law and regulations. Hence It would
follow that these papers are not en-
titled to deferred classifications."

RED CROSS ENTERTAINMENT
A GLORIOUS SUCCESS

1t wes a grand and glorious sue
cess. the entertainment given in the
opera house and Elks' hall last
night for the benefit of the local
Chapter of the Re0 Cross. The op-
era house was filled by ticket pur-
chasers to see broadway Jones'"
the film attraction, and the Elks'
hall was jammed at the entertain
ment and dance following.
P. P. Graham and George Moscript,
two stringed instrument artists and
classy singers, were over from Idaho
Springs and delighted all with their
music and songs. The local quar-
tette consisting of Bert johnson,
Wilbur Rule, Clarence Anger and
Wilford Fritz was another feature
that took we'll, and the Central City
Jazz band made a decided hit. Fred
S. Caldwell made an appropriate ad-
dress and was loudly cheered. The
Red Cross ladies served refreshmen
and were literally patronized, swell
ing the receipts to the extent of
$4,000. The wheel of fortune re-
ceived a good play, and those who
sought a milder form of entertain
ment found this in card playing.
Cliff. Hughes was charm an of the
committee having the entertainment
in charge ard displayed matchless
managerial ability. He was ably as
sisted by<a corrs Of tireless workers,
, both men and women. 1t is not
known just how much was cleared,
but 1t is presumed that the net re-
ceipts will be around $4,000, which
will make it possible for the Red
Cross ladies to continue their work
in the gauze and sewing rooms until
other funds are available.

SCHOOL NOTES
(LCella Richards)

The Seniors, Juniors and faculty
attended a daintily arranged dinner
Saturday, May 4th, in homer of them
by Mrs. Gill and Miss. Mitchell. The
Commercial room at the. High school
building was used as a banquet hail.
but was SO beautifully decorated that
it lost all appearances of a school
room. The color scheme of the ev-
ening was rink and white. Pink
crepe paper Shades covered the ell
ectric lights, filling the room with a
light of delicate hue. The ban
Quet table was set with plates for
twenty-three. The cover was of
snow white linen laid over with pink
and white crepe paper. A beautiful
bouquet Of pink and white carnations
adorned the center of the table, and
at each plate was a pink carnation
and srrig of delicate fern, pink
and white napkin, nicely folded, and
place card, which contained origin
al drawings by Miss Mitchell; and
represented the guests as they will
appear in the Senior class play Of
this year. The following was the
menu:
Salmon croquettes Potato salad
French rolls
Creamed peas Fruit salad
Olives Pickles
Lemon pie
Fruit punch Waters
Coffee Divinity
The entire menu was home cooked
by Mrs. Gill, and was called her
Hoover dinner fer twenty-three."
In the above less than two pounds
of wheat, about twenty-five cents
of sugar and cne-half round of but
ter were used.
This shows that we are not suffer.
Ing from our need of conservation;
what an elegant dinner may be SER
we'd, with products, whose conserva-
tion is necessary, used In small
quantities or not at all. This ban
quet given Saturday evening was
certainly a criterion of Mrs. Gill's
ability as a cook, and OF her loyalty,
in using substitutes, that she might
do her share in the great conserva-
tion movement.
All those present enjoyed them
selves and were glad that they were
one Of the lucky ones to be invited.
Marguerite Rian was one OF the
lucky ones this week and caught the
measles as they were going the
rounds.
The Seniors and other characters
in the class play are going thru
strenuous setting up exercises this
week.

RED GROSS NOTES

Cruer NO. 1903 issued tnru the
post office department reads as fol-
lows: On and after April 1st, 1918,
parcels for members and individuals
connected with the American Exped
itionsTy forces in Europe shall not
be accepted for mailing or despatch
ed, unless they contain such articles
only as are being sent on the writ
ten request of the addressee, approx
ed by his regimental or higher COM
mander, or an executive officer of
the organization with which he is
connected. Signed, A. S. Burleson.
The American Red Cross has pre-
pared to care for the country's
wounded soldiers who shortly will be.
gin to arrive in increasing numbers.
The organization has appropri-
ated 81 500 900 to erect convalescent
houses and nurse headquarters, at
general hospitals and in camps and
cantonme nts thruout the U. S. These
convalescent houses will have ac-
commodations for relatives and
friends of the soldier, who may be
summoned on account of illness of
the latter.
Interest in the Red Cross work is
not alone confined to America. All
nations are interested in the great
work. Cne million dollars is being
raised by the Cuban ladies' to equip
a 100-bed hosIital unit. manned by
Cuban ply sicians and nurses for SCI.
vice on the Western front in France.
The Japanese women are working
for the A. R. c. under the direction
of Princess Cyama, who was educat-
ed in an American college. She has
thrown open her beautiful palace as
work room. The New Mexican In
dians are also interested not only in
the Junior membership but adults in
the various tribes. The women not
only sew but are contributing from
their scant funds
Five hundred Thousand dollars was
the gift of the War Council to the
Canadian Red Cross in recognition
of the part Canada has played in this
war for human liberty. The gift was
made without restriction, but with
the expressed hope that it will be
found possible to use the contribu-
! ton fer the relief of Canadians at
the front.
The week commencing May Goth
is to be known as War Fund week.
We are here offered chance to
fight sitting in our own homes, not
standing up to our knees in half
frozen mud with death laden steel
showering about us, and no matter
how much we give, the soldier and
the sailor is giving more. The time
has come when we can no longer
ask ourselves how much shall l
give?" but what can l give?" and
remember that patriotism which does
not act is not patriotism. 1t must
be vitahzed to be real and a contri-
button to the Red Cross is its natur.
al act and concrete fulfillment.
