IN MEMORIAM
Francis Jesse Kerr

=
Be it resolved: That we, the men,
bers of Silver Temple, No. go, do ex-
tend to our Sisters our heartfelt SYM
pathy in the loss of their Husband
and Father.
Weep not that his toll is over;
Weep not that his race is won.
God grant that we may rest as calmly
When our work like his is done!
Till then we would yield with glad
n-.+.. ness
Our treasures to Him to keep
And rejoice in the sweet assurance
"He giveth his loved ones Sleep"

High School commencement Play

On Thursday, May II, at the Prin-
cess Theatre the graduating class of
1923 of Crested Butte High School
will present the Wren, comedy in
three acts, by Booth Tarkington This
is the Harrington in his most ingen-
uous mood. He tells a good deal
about what happened one summers
day up at Captain Olds place on the
New England coast
The story is charmingly developed,
the humor delicious, and the dramatic
interest never flags. The young folks
have been working hard on the play
for several weeks in order to put it
over and make it success.
1t is planned to give matinee for
the benefit of the school children, SO
that the older folks may have more
room at night. Tickets will be on
sale by the high school students.
The play is under the direction of
Messrs. Hatch and Heagney.

Silver was steadily advancing in
price, due partly to the order for
coinage in the Philippines. Mexico
and China had practically given an
ultimatum that something had to be
done for the white metal or they
would discontinue the purchase of
imported manufactured goods. Most
gold standard countries are princi-
pally manufacturers and ship their
goods to silver using countries. The
ultimatum issued brought the gold
bugs to time in measure.

that they represent unnatural breach The healing

thinks OF the precious elements which
have been consumed for decades on
the furnace CRATES, all going up. in
smoke and being lost to human use,
it becomes clear that the new meth
cd has not come too soon. Not only
are the elements of coal being saved
in modernized manufactures, and
numerous other fields of endeavor en-
riched by the materials thus saved,
but we are coming to see that our
factories may become public service
institutions in degree not conceived
as possible until now.
In the modern use of coal, gas is
produced, and gas is public utility.
That part of the gas which is not
used in direct processes of manufac-
ture can be turned over to the com
munity. The fertilizing elements ex-
tracted from coal can be utilized on
the farms. The coke can be used,
and is being used, for domestic con-
sumption at greatly reduced cost to
the consumer.
And then there is the possible e1-
feet of all this on the transportation
problem. As our great factories go
into these economies which really
consist in greater usage out of their
basic materials, they will come more
and more to the use of power in its
electrical form. Now, in our great
cities electricity is used in lighting
and ansportation-these are it's
greatest service outside the factories.
The multitude of our cities are trans
ported on electric cars to and from
work. When the men are in the
shops the peak load is on the lines
that furnish the factories with power
