Because Of Mrs. Hungerford's sound
logic and ability 10 present and explain .
subject clearly and to the point. the sec
ond days program began with an inter-
ested and enthusiastic audience.
After devotional exercises the forenoon
was spent in reading papers and discus
sions. Then came tho noontide prayer
after which lunch was served in the
church.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Devotions, Mrs. Smith. ri
Mrs. Hungerford spoke Of the universal
quality Of tho W. c. T. U. that no other
organization possessed. inasmuch as il
was able to reach every individual in the
United States quickly. because it is made
up OF all other organizations.
At the national convention the commit
tee came to them who were appointed to
investigate the legality Of Senator Smoots
seat in congress. What was done had to
be done Immediately and none but the w.
c. T. U. could do it. The result is that
Mormonism is proven to have openly de-
fled the law prohibiting polygamy.
Mrs. Nanny read a paper on 'Litera-
ture and Art" She spoke of the influence
of pictures upon the morals of child,
that novels welded greater influence
upon children than any other force of the
present age, and of the great importance
that parents learn about the books their
children read.
E. j. Whitehead. of Denver. is secretary
of the humane society, and the W. c. T.
U. of the state are now identified with it;
also the juvenile court, under Judge Ben
Lindsey.
Mrs. Hungerford told about case
when Denver business man had obscene
advertisements strewn broadcast upon
the streets Of very vile nature. She
requested the attorney general to notify
her when his trial came up, and he did
not forget, and through his courtesy she
was present. The most remarkable thing
about it was that very few of the jurors
knew the meaning of the word obscene.
The Hepburn Deliver bill is to create a
law controlling liquor being sent from one
state into another in original packages.
Mrs. Hungerford described distillery
which is operated in Denver. The gov
ernment sends an officer to open it at
night and close it in the morning. After
it is made it is sent to a bonded ware
house and when sold to saloons bears a
government seal, and the government re-
ceves Sl.2o for every gallon.

Experimenting on an Almost Ne
IRRIGATION Problem.

F. T. Webber is conducting an expert
ment in the Arkansas valley along irriga-
ton lines. He has recently purchased a
tract Of land on Horse creek from the
state. and is tapping the underflow of the
stream. For this purpose he has en-
ployed F. W. Foote. who has charge Of a
number Of men and teams. 1t is planned
to excavate to bedrock and l,5OO feet
along the south bank Of Horse creek,
building dam from bedrock to three
feet above the level of the creek.
The work Of raising the water after the
underfiow is tapped can be easily arrang-
ed. and Webber believes the experiment
will not only prove successful, but may
prove valuable innovation in irrigation
projects throughout the state.-Denver

Cold storaqe plants.

There has been quite Juror for
the building of cold storage plants
during the last few years. Some
years ago men made fortunes by
erecting cold storage plants and buy
ing quantities of butter and eggs,
which were carried from the low
priced period of the year to the high
priced period This of course gave
large profits. AS was certain to be
the case, other men saw the same
method Of getting rich and began to
build like plants. This was all right
for some years, while the number OF
plants was small enough SO that the
goods stored would not greatly af-
eect the market. But the building
continued. and now the products
stored compete SO strongly with each
other that the margin Of difference OF
prices at different times Of year is
greatly reduced. Reports from New
Jersey tell of new cold storage
plant at Jersey City, which was built
last year at cost Of 100000. The
establishment was perfect in every
detail and the promoters expected
great things But they were unable
to secure business and the enterprise
went into the hands of receiver.
The plant was offered for sale at
auction, with the proyiso that not less
than 100000 would be taken. Not q
bid was received.

Little by little the practice Of soil
ing cattle in the dryest and hottest
time Of summer IS coming into vogue.
There are probably more farmers this
summer that have soiling crops for
their stock than ever before. In trips
through the portions OF the country
where live stock is being raised we
notice that here and there are large
fields sown to fodder corn, and IN adj
dition fields Of rape and alfalfa. The
use Of this green stun is greatly re-
lieving the pressure on the pastures,

The application Of ashes to land
does not necessarily show what that
land needs. It has been a favorite
practice to apply ashes to land to de-
termine its supply of potassium, and
to-day most of our people believe that
the chief fertilizing value of ashes is
the potassium. The writer remembers
a bare hill top to which he applied
ashes during all of one winter The
next spring the growth was so great
on that place that the hay could not
be cured on the ground where it was
grown; but part of it had to be car
ried to another spot to allow of its
being spread thin enough to permit OF
the SUMS getting into It, The natural
inference was that the land had be-
come very deficient in potassium. But
Professor Hopkins of Illinois says
that the test is not sure one in its
results. He mentioned parts of Hi
nois where there is no deficiency Of
potassium, but where the soil is acid.
The application of ashes brought good
harvests and the farmers wrote him
that their land needed potassium. He
investigated and found that they were
mistaken. The lime in the ashes
had neutrallzed the acid and caused
the change in conditions that resulted
in an abundant yield of grain. Some
kinds Of ashes contain over so per
cent of lime, and this is the element
that does the work in many cases.

viii save not only time, because it

cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
12-oz package 1t is because he has
q stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has

The calf that is to be used for the
making Of baby beef must be kept
growing from the start If the calf
cannot be so fed on skimmilk that its
growth will not be checked. then it

little value to be used as a basis for
the production Of this kind Of beef
that is now becoming so popular. The
calf must be carefully weaned. It will
not do to take it off full feed Of milk
