HAVE OPEN
MEETING FOR CAMPAIGN

The Woodmen CT the World had u
very enjoyable evening Tuesday of
this week, it having been the opening
night of the campaign fer sixty new
members in sixty days, and was m
open session.
A special program was given consist
ing Of accrobatic stunts, sketch,
Casey at the Bat" by John Meier,
original entertainment by the cele-
brated Steven Carveth, a talk by Or
ganizer Neighbor Aspell, and wind
ing up with a smoker. Tho meeting
was presided over by Neighbor Muir
ray, the man who has done us much
or more than most anyone else in the
Camp to instill new life.
Murray went to tho trouble to get
n CREASED turning pole from one OF
the Denver Camps and with the as
sistance of Gordon Hooper, brought
it out to Arvada for the evenings
fun. Those not knowing the game,
are informed that this is u stunt well
worth the price of admission, when
you can find two fellows who will
volunteer to get up on the pole and
make monkeys of themselves for the
amusement it affords the rest of the
crowd. Arthur Newton, who works
for the Arvada Electric Company
and is used to climbing wire poles,
proved n hadr match for Ed Richter,
who is much heavier, but not quite
as agile. The game is played this
way. Two men get astridc the pole
which is about eight inches in diam
eter, and turns on the least provoca-
ton, and each is given feather bag
with which he is to knock his oppo-
ncnt off il he can. It Is not usually
very long after the battle begins till
both men are hanging head down
ward and clinched like couple of
Killarney cats hung across clothes
line. each attempting to keep the
other from getting on top Of the
pole again. Will Hooper and John
Meier also furnished lot Of fun by
performing on the pole.
The Woodman Camp has grown to
be the largest fraternal order in the
town, and hopes to go over the 200
mark in the present drive. Its bene-
fit features are SO well known that
it scarcely needs explanation and II
has demonstrated its stability by It's
prompt payment Of every death ben
eft due to the fluc and the war
more promptly than old line insur-
ance companies because Of the close
connection between the insured and
his Camp. Not only that, this order
has carried It's soldiers dues and
assessments during the time they arc
in the service, and all without draw
ing on their $4,000 900 reserve fund.
II is conceded by far TO be the poor
mans best bet for the protection of
his family after he In gone. and the
young man who does not get in while
his assessment is low IN likcncd unto
the foolish virgins.

the greatest rife ranges in the world.
The few thousand men who were sent
to this camp before the close of the
war were housed under canvas; and
the couple of thousand men now on
the grounds are in temporary quar-
ters. But the new buildings are pro-
crossing quite favorably, and will be
ready for occupancy during the ap-
preaching summer. This camp is one
of great necessity to the training of

war project for the training of off,
GERS and men in the use Of the small
arms employed by the United States
Army. They include the military rifle

automatic rifle and pistol. saber. ma
chine gun, trench mortar, and all the
incidental weapons such as the hand
grenade. trench knife. not forgetting the
use Of star rocket signals; in fact. all
weapons and appliances below the grade
of artillery used by the combat forces.
The project was ambitious and very
necessary for the thorough training
of the many men in this country who
were to constitute the army that was
to go abroad, If 1t had been in opera
tion at the commencement of the war
it would have enabled the War De-
partment to do far more of its troop
training on this side the Atlantic;
thus relieving the embarkation serv-
ice and reducing the handling of the
men on the other side to a much easier
problem. A few men and officers from
other schools had been moved to Camp
Bennfng a few weeks before the ar
mistice was signed and had opened
the camp. Then arose a serious Ques-
tion as to whether Congress would ap-
prove the use of the wartime appro-
priation to complete the purchase of
lands and the erection of the semi
permanent buildings of concrete that
will be required. Due in great degree
to the efforts and representations Of
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia it was
decided to continue the construction
Of the camp, although it is possible to
effect many economies over the war
time plan.
Col Wyllie found that several thou
sand acres Of the highest priced land
had been released. leaving a tract of
go 900 acres to be taken by the gov
ernment for the purposes of the camp
Near the center of the tract is a pla-
teau of beautiful land large enough to
drill a brigade in extended formation.

EMBARGO REMOVED.
Railroad Administration Will Permit
 Free Movement of Grain.

Washington. April 3--Removal of the em bargo and permit system which has controlled the movement of grain to primary markets since last fall, was announced today by the railroad administration. Officials said the ac- ton was due to the improved condi- tion of storage facilities, which now permits the receipt of grain without restriction.
 The embargo was placed during the fall rush and many elevators became congested so that it was necessary to institute some system Ef control which would relieve that condition. The re- moVal is to save the time and eX- pense of operation of the permits.
 The permit system for movement of export grain to seaboard points still is in effect Removal of the en- bargo on the movement to primary points affects points in the middle west.
