son was born Nov. %, 1888. On Aug. IA,
1889, he married Susan Adele Temple,
who died March %, 1916. They are
survived bv their daughter, Miss Hal
lie Thompson, who has been her faith
err 5 housekcepcr for several years and
has given him most faithful and loving
care.
Mr. Thompson was an enthusiastic
and loyal member of the G. y. r., be-
ing charter member of Hooker post,
and for many years had been the color
bearer. A lover of nature, he had fol-
lowed the occupation of farming all his
life. even since he moved 10 years ago
to the home where he died. His last
illness. caused by q fall, was one of con
slant and intense pain from which he
had little relief for six long weeks, but
no word of mpaticnce escaped him

MEMORIAL TO SOLDIERS
TO BE ERECTED IN PARK


Committees from the Woman's Re-
lief Corps and the Arvada Commun-
ity Club met Tuesday afternoon and
laid their plans for going ahead with
the Memorial to our soldiers vino
participated in the World war, which,
as originally planned, will be a drink
ing fountain to be placed in what
ever part of McIlvoy park the arch
itect thinks fitting.
However, the idea to have tab
let with all the names of those who
responded to the Nations call, has
been abandoned partially because of
the added expense, and because it is
thought that eventually record of
the names may be placed in Carne-
gle Library, or some other public
institution that may yet find a place
in Arvada.
The Monument will be designed
with the one thing in mind, a useful
as well as ornamental memorial. It
will have some appropriate emblem
that will conspicuously designate its
purpose.
The COMMITTEES Will meet again on
Saturday and appoint sub-commit.

In this issue Of the Enterpris ap-
pears the page advertisement of
Michaslson's Big Store, at the cor
ner Of Larimer and 18th street. This
store needs no introduction to the
buying public in this section. The
Enterprise has been criticised by one
or two local merchants, who, in real
ity, are in competition only in = very
few things, with this big store, for
accepting . Denver advertisement.
Indeed, the loyalty of the Enterprise
to local interests has been question,
relative thereto. II, in the first place
It was the policy Of this paper to ex-
cluds local advertising in Difference
to . Denver concern, their criticisms
might be well founded. But such 10
not the case. The editor Of the En-
terprise has, we believe. been as 10y
al to every local interest as any 9th
or business man has been. We con-
tribute as much in advertising space
for any worthy local cause as any
other concern contributes in dollars
and cents, and not only that, we con-
tribute ~ much in cash a. any bust
ness concern Of equal standing. How
ever. we know of no business man in

the local merchant donn't see fit to
take advantage Of It. then we will
sell It to whomsoever does see fit t.,

with Michaelson Bros. has been very
satisfactory In every way, and we c an
recommend their merchandise to tiny
one needing anything in their Zine.

cause In nearly every case an equal
