SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY

Both grade and high school will open
Monday. The work of the day will
consist of registration, distribution of
books and assignments. In the high
school full explanation of the courses
will be given. In undecided cases it
will be advisable for the parents to be
present, and after listening to the pur-
pose and aim of the various courses
consult with the pupil and the teachers
and decide on registration that will
be final and not need readiustment
during the term. Parents will find it
profitable to be present Monday and
assist in the registration. t-.|
The course in conversational French,
now scheduled for IL a. m, will be
open to the people of the town. All
who are interested will be welcome and
given all possible consideration and
assistance.
The manual training equipment has
been moved to the high school. The
AAAo' PAoJoStS Al IulS department Will
be the manufacturing of dryers to pre-
serve garden products corn and fruit.
These will be sold little above the
cost of the material required to make
them. The purpose is not to make
money for the department, but to co.
ordinate the department with the war
garden movement.
On Saturday Of this week at 10 a.
M, meeting Of all the teachers Of
both the grade and high school will be
held in the high school building.
The management Of the schools Is
fully aware Of the pressure that these
abnormal times brings on tho educa-
tional system. They but hope that the
opportunities for earning which are
opened will not materially decrease ths
registration Of the schools. It has bsen
pointed out repeatedly that the open
ings created by war times are not pes
manent. The pupils now Of school ass

War Prohibition to Become
Effective at That Time
Despite Protests
COMPROMISE CARRIES

Washington, Aug. 29.-NationL pro-
hibition moved considerable step for
ward today in congress without a rec.
ord vote being taken or requested. The
senate today adopted the compromise
on "bone dry" prohibition, effective
July l, 1919, and continuing during the
war and until the American troops are
brought home and demobilized. The
compromise, an amendment by Senator
Sheppard of Texas, prohibition leader,
to the $l1,OO0,OO0 emergency agrical-
tural appropriation bill, is expected TO
remain in the measure under the har-
mony agreement of "weto and "dry"
factions, although technically subject to
another vote. Passage of the bill itself
is planned tomorrow and the measure
will be returned to the house, which il
expected by prohibition advocates to
accept the senate provisions.
Efforts to change materially ths
Sheppard substitute were futile.
Amendments to advance and defer the
effective date and to extend the time
for its operation against beer and wine
were overwhelmingly defeated without
roll calls.
That there was any agreement
among leaders against having record
votes was denied by Senator Sheppard
and other advocates and also opponents
Of prohibitory lesislatioa. -e
Senator Phelan of California made =
vigorous fight for longer lease Of life
for the wine and beer industries. He
offered amendments making the effect
i've date for prohibition June &c. 1890,
instead OF year previous, as tho
amendment provides, and also applying
the latter date to wines alone. Both
Were rejected overwhelmingly. Anoth-
er Phelan amendment drowned in a roar
of ''noes'' would have extended the
effective date for wines six months
longer or until December 81, 1919.
Senator Thomas of Colorado opposed
the amendment. He declared the gov
ernment needs all possible revenue
, sources, and because of the war pro-
hibition measure being effective too
long distant. He also opposed the I'M
portation of Intoxicating liquors into
the country.
The amendment as passed is substL
tute both for the original amendment
of Representative Randell of California
prohibiting use of money provided in
the agricultural appropriation bill, and
that the president should execute his
present authority to stop the manufac-
ture of beer and wines. an amendment
adopted by the house when it passed
the bill May l3 last, and for the orig
inal senate agriculture committee pro-
vision to stop sales of all Intoxicating
beverages January !, next.

IMPORTANT RED
CROSS MEETING

Probably the least understood, and
yet one of the greatest branches of
Red Cross work, is that performed by
portant for the welfare of our boys
overseas as any work that the Red
Cross is doing.
Mrs. w. F. Boyd, from Red Cross
headquarters in Denver, is visiting
Glenwood Springs this week, and will
give talk explaining Home Service
work, Sunday afternoon at o'clock,
at the Methodist church.
This work has not been as fully de-
veloped in our chapter as will be nee
essary before the war is over. Oar
chapter has not Jagged behind in other
branches of Red Cross work, and this
is the time to learn what are the fuar,
tions of the Home Service department
so that we will be prepared for action
when need arises.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Moore and Mr.
and Mrs. Gus Schlapp drove over Ill
the Moore car from Delta the first Of
the week and have since been enjoying
Glenwood's big pool and unsurpassed
scenery the past few days.
Mr.. Schlapp is the clerk of the dis
trict court at Delta and Mr.. Moore is
one of the most progressive and sue.
cessful of the farmers of that section.
He has been very successful in produc
ing large yields Of potatoes in former
years, but this year he thought he
would reduce his spud acreage and
plant small onion patch and now he
estimates that his 4O.acre field Of ON.
ions will yield close to 900 saeks Of
100 to los pounds per acre, and tAs
present indications are that the price
will be close TO tie two dollar mark,
50 that the prospects are that Ed viii
draw down from $4,000 to $4,000
from that onion crop alone, not to men
tion the matter Of grain, potatoes and
hay.

visit and hurriedly called on number
of our citizens who were favorably In

MACCABEES DEDICATE
SERVICE FLAG

On Wednesday night at Eagles hall
the Ladies of the Maccabees unfurled
their service flag with interesting and
inspiring service.
The hall was generously decorated
with flags and flowers, and the cer"-
mony began with the entrance of the
officers escorted by the guards under
the captaincy of Mrs. VIM. Patterson.
The program arranged by Mrs. Maloy
and Mrs. Beardsley consisted of prayer
by the chaplain, Mrs. G. A. Webb, a
trio, Knitting by Mrs. Maloy, Mrs.
Beardsley and Miss johnson; read
ing by Mrs. Sutherland; song, "Slum-
ber Boat Henrietta Beardsley, her
first public appearance; solo, ga Bowl
of Roses,' by Eleanore Noonan; His
tory of the Service Flag" by Past
Commander Mrs. Crissman.
The service flag was hidden by two
American flags which were drawn
apart to the singing of the Star Spang-
led Banner by Clarence Bell, attired as
sailor, and Elmer Dougan, attired in
khaki. Aline Mangnall, attired as the
goddess of liberty, stepped from be-
hind the flags as they were drawn
apart and the beautiful service flag
with 81 stars came into view amid rous-
ing applause, following which the
names Of the 81 boys represented by
the stars were read and responded to
by relatives present by rising. Then
followed solo, con the Road to
Homo Sweet Home," by Mrs. Boards
ley; stirring and inspiring patriotic
address by Father J. P. Carrigau,
which appealed to all present and
was eminently suited to the occasion;
a solo, "Merrily I Roam" by Mrs.
Aaloy; reading by Mrs. Sutherland;

FOR DESTROYING
,. IRRIGATION DAM

Wednesday afternoon before Justice
Hall at Basalt James w. Curtis of the
Cattle creek section was placed on
trial and convicted on a charge of tear
ing out the dam to the Needham ditch.
The Needham ditch supplies water to
what is known as the Needham or
Boyle ranch, Mr.. Curtis and E. \.
Martin owning the c. & NJ. ditch of
later priority, which was increased in
flow by the destruction of the Need
ham dam.
Mr.. Curtis has frequently been ac-
cused of interfering with dams and
headgates of bitches belonging to 9th
ers, his own bitches profiting by such
illegal deeds, and while on the stand
Wednesday he confessed to one such
act nearly year ago, although he de-
MED being guilty of the act with which
he was being tried at this time.
While the evidence against Mr.. Cur
tbs was circumstantial the presump
tiOn of guilt was very strong, since
Mr.. Curtis was seen going up to the
dam and later was seen coming away
from that vicinity and in the due
course of time Mr.. Gerkin, tenant on
the Boyle ranch, noticed loss If
about one-third of his supply of water
in the Needham ditch and CORES
ponding increase in the C. l. NJ. ditch.
Mr.. Curtis also admitted being at the
headgate of the Needham ditch on the
day the mischief was done, although he
denied being at the dam.
In view of the evidence submitted
in the case and the fact that the
break was naturally to the benefit of
Mr.. Curtis, Justice Hall declared the
defendant guilty and fined him $50
and costs, the minimum penalty pro-
vided by statute for such offense.
The interests of the people were rep.
resented by M. J. Mayes of this city
who appeared on behalf of Deputy
District Attorney Crosswhite Of Lead
vile. The damage case of Mr.. Gerkin
against Mr.. Curtis, and the other mis-
demeanor case will be heard at later
date.

The following is letter received by
son, Ralph, who is now in the U. S
service in France:
July 25, 1918.
Dear Folks:-
| am still at the same place that 1
wrote you from last. You may get this
letter almost as soon as you do the
other.
When l wrote to you last I was "a
pecting to leave and go on towards the
front within a few hours.
/ don't mean the front line, but to
permanent unit which might move up
sometime soon.
Unluckily for me, though, I did not
get to go. There are only few left
that I know. We expect to 60 with
the next bunch, but there has been no
new men to come in 80 we may have
to stay here some time yet.
I have been here days already, the
longest stop since leaving the states.
Some fellows in the company just got
back from the front. They were taking
new men up to the front and were un-
der German shell fire for several hours
and they say it is not the incest thing
in the world to have a shell burst and
throw dirt over one. They saw Ger
man prisoners being brought in by the
thousands. One nglish-speaking pris-
oner said they were glad to be cap
tured. He said they were sure of get
ting something to eat every day, thing
they were not sure of in Germany.
We've billeted in the attic of
house here. There are about Is men
there now, but when it is full there
are 40, but we still have plenty of
room. We have straw-filled ticks and
several blankets so we sleep very COM
fortably.
We have just as good grub here as
we had in Kearny.
l had been told that we should get
plenty, Dut d1d not thlnR IL Would De
this good.
Uncle Sam sure does take care of
his boys.
wish I could write something inter
esting, but I forget everything as soon
as I start to write. I will try to do
better next time.
am feeling fine and hope this finds
all you the same.
Will close with love to all.

the owners of railroad canaot agree

of the Colorado Midland, declared th"t
no offer Of compensation or tender Of

Gently found guilty of attempt to stop

tinuance of their cases and announced
that the remainder will not be sentenced
