Bridesmaids for Hire.
rom the Boston Transcript

FROM the Boston Transcript
Romance dies out in the world. it would
almost seem. with the advent of the pro-
fesS1onal bridesmaid. Whether for better
or worse. however. she has arrived and a
bureau IN London offers TO supply her. or
dozen of her. suitably attired, at an hour S
notice. for the sum OF | guinea Runaway
couples might be expected TO figure as
the bureaus chief patrons, but it is said
that the professional appears at formal
weddings also. and seems to fill want
as clearly does the paid guest who
goes to dinners and dances given by the
new rich. 1t would be interesting to
know whether this type of bridesmaid
feeis emotion or catches a thrill of in
splration from the events in which she
ofllciates. If the thought of the guinea
leaves in her mind no room for softer
sentiment, hers is a hopeless case indeed

FIELD PEA CONTEST

In 1907. the writer, then the
Agronomist of the Colorado En-
pertinent Station at Fort Collins,
organized the San Luis Valley
Field Pea Contest among the
school children of the Valley. He
was assisted in this work by in
terested citizens in the pea grow
ing sections, school teachers and
over POO children. The Director
of the Colorado Experiment Sta
ton has refused to permit this
work to be carried on with Station
funds, and rather than disappoint
the children, the writer will fur
nish the contest himself. though
no longer with the Colorado Agri-
cultural college.
1909 is the last year Of the con-
test and the one winning best over
all for the years l907-l90S. 1909
wins in addition to the first prize
-*2O.OO-a beautiful gold medal.
We urge all who have grown
peas in this contest either in 1907
or 1908 to plant their peas in the
usual method and work to make
gold medal winning record, for the
present season.
