w. J. Lee of Kansas Mesa, owner

cuts of the columbine, in which to

was the experience of the average
and the majority of the strangers to
the city. He declared that church
members depended too much upon
the pastor to do all these things. and
the pastor usually did all in his pow
er, but that members of great fra
ternal orders do not wait for the Of
ficials to welcome the stranger.
The speaker then referred to the
Brotherhood, and explained that its
mission is to strengthen the ties of
fellowship among church members, to
remedy the defect in this phase of
church life and to make the church
lead in the work of welcoming the
stranger. caring for the sick and COM
forting the distressed. All over the
land these brotherhoods are being
organized and their influence will
be wonderful.
When Mr. Walker had concluded,

President Magill then introduced
R. C. Walker, a member of the bro
tAsShood, and Mr.. Walker spoke for
AZ 90 minutes and his remarks
were given the very closest atten-
ton. Mr.. Walker spoke very pla m
ly and very emphatically on the
great need of a more pronounced at
tention to the social side of church
life, the welcoming of strangers who
find their way to the church, the ex-
tending of the hand of fellowship, q
more sincere regard for that inJunc-
ton of the Master: Bear We one an
others burdens" Mr.. Walker de-
clared that it was an incontestable
fact that the great fraternal orders
are doing more along this line than
the church. and, as a result, the fra
ternal orders are getting nearer to
men, holding their interest better
and gaining higher respect for their
obligations than is the church. This
state of affairs is to be deplored, for
the church of God should lead in the
noble work of bringing men closer
to each other, strengthening the ties
of fellowship and extending the hand
of friendship to the stranger or CIV
ing attention to the brother in sor-
row or distress.
Mr.. Walker then referred to his
own experience in coming to the city
a stranger in a strange land severa
years ago, and how the members o.
fraternal orders to which he belonged
warmly greeted him and looked ou
for his interests long before there was
any disposition on the part of the
members of the church with whom
he had long been affiliated made an!

BADLY HURT

Unconscious from n blow on
the head, received in some mys-
terious way, and apparently life
less, EItlridge Waldron, of 1920
Colorado avenue, Colorado
Springs. IA Colorado Midland en-
Sineer in charge of eastbound
freight engine \. 2O4, was
found hanging out of the WIN
dow of the engine cab at
o'clock Sunday morning by Fire
man Baker, just as the train
started into tunnel No. q, a few
miles west of Manitou.
The train had gradually been
gathering speed in the few minutes
Immediately preceding the discov-
cry of the engineers condition and it
was only by vigorous efforts that the
fireman was able to get it under
control and prevent a wreck.
The stricken engineer was taken
from the train at Colorado City a
half hour later and rushed to the st.
Francis hospital, where he is hover
ing between life and death.
An ugly hole was cut in his head
Just over the left ear. How the ac-
c,dent happened is a mystery thus
far.
According to the railroad officials
there is nothing against which he
could have struck his head under
ordinary circumstances. 1t is pos
sible that one of the warning posts
near the entrance to the tunnel hao
been blown toward the track, ano
that HIS head struck the post.
Waldron is 30 years old and mas
a wife and one child. He has beer
a railroad fireman for years and was
recently promoted to engineer.

Many extraordinary stories have

twenty years. The seeds buried by the
experts OF the Agricultural Department
at the Arlington farm last year were

at various depths from 6 inches to

If the members of the poultry flock

equipped with sash that may be
closed in severe weather.
Many farms where sheep are kept
are equipped with a barn cellar in
which the flock has been kept with
varying success The barn cellar Is
an excellent place for sheep If rightly
arranged. There should be plenty of
openings to the south, allowing sun to
reach all parts Of the stable so as to
keep 1t thoroughly dry. Thorough
drainage Is essential.
There must be ventilation at the
rear Of the stable. A bad practice Is to
keep the sheep in stables on stable
manure, says Farm and Home. The
fermenting manure destroys the color
and texture Of wool. A hint which has
been worth many dollars to me is to
use only long straw, hay or weeds for
bedding sheep. If short straw or saw
dust Is used it gets into the fleece and
Is an everlasting nuisance.
