PEACHES CAN BE
GROWN HERE, TOO
SOME FINE GREELEY PEACHES
Fruit Grown by F. h. Pollock, OF
834 Fourth street

The Greeley district has never
paid much attention to fruit raising.
but that Is not because fruit cannot
be grown here. 1t is simply because
we have high class farmers here in
stead OF fruit growers.
A crop Of peaches just harvested
by F. b. Pollock OF S24 Fourth street
has proven that fruit will sometimes
grow here in spite of the people.
Five years ago Mr.. Pollock WAS
hoeing in his garden one day when
he ran across a little sprout OF a
tree that looked like a peach tree,
so he let II grow. Last year 1t had
some blossoms on II, and last spring
it had still more. Most of these
were killed by the late frost. but a
few blossoms bore fruit. Monday
he picked a basket OF as fine peaches
as were ever shipped In here. They
are evidently OF the Alberta variety,
several OF them measuring ten to
ten and quarter inches in circum-
ference.
The basket OF fruit was brought
to the Tribune office where 1t will
be photographed before Mr.. Pollock
distributes the fruit among his
friends.

MAY BUILD NEW CHURCH
Interesting Meeting Of Trinity Guild
Held at Agnew Home

Trinity Guild held its first fall
meeting at the home of Mrs. j. b.
Agnew Thursday af,t rnoon. AL
though many matters were discussed
most OF the interest centered about
two topics. the raising of funds for
new church building and the Sc
curing of new minister. Much re-
gret was expressed on account of the
resignation OF Rev. Trimmer. While
no definite plans were completed 1t
was the consensus OF opinion that
the time ia ripe for = new church
edifice and that definite work should
be begun at once. Many are In
favor OF disposing OF the valuable
corner on which the church now
stands and rebuilding In some other
part OF the city Some who have
long worshipped in the present build
ing are strongly in favor of retain
ing that site.
The report OF the last fiscal year
showed that the Guild raised the
sum OF $500 toward the current ex-
penses of the church Another
meeting will be held in the near
future to complete the embryo plans
of yesterday.

YEARLY RECEPTION
NORMAL FACULTY
WELCOME TO NEW STUDENTS
This Event the Fore-runner OF the
Regular Normal Work

This Is without doubt a record
year at the Normal. With the lar
gest registration list ever known In
the schools history and the greatest
enthusiasm manifested by both the
faculty and the student body, 1t goes
without saying that the annual re-
ception to the new students Friday
night was cuccess. Although hun
dreds were present the affair was
informal, the seniors making an ef-
fort to see that this years arrivals
got acquainted in their new school
home, and the occasion was enjoyed
alike by the upper and lower class
men.
The first part OF the evening was
taken up by program which was
given in the chapel. j. c. Kendel
furnished a couple violin solos. Mrs.
O. F. Shattuck sang twice. and Miss
Mary Kendel sang twice. Miss
Frances Tobey told delightful story
in her inimitable manner. Inc sing
ers had made rule that they would
each sing twice and positively re-
spond to no encores, but when Pro-
fessor Fitz, the new head of the
musical department, and whose num-
bers came last upon the program had
given his two selections the audience
refused to part with him and he was
at last forced to sing a third time.
The reception proper was held in
Miss Hannum's rooms. Those in the
receiving line were DR.. and Mrs.
Snyder, Professor F. l.. Abbott and
Miss Hannum. Ices and macaroons
were served in the kindergarten
room. Out on the lawn some pretty
booths had been erected and coffee
was served there.

j. c, Wiedmann, alias Joe"
