~MALL fruit can be grown almost
as easily as corn or oats if it
~ is gone at in the right way.
A liberal quantity grown ut
home is luxury that is within the
reach of every farmer. Grown on n
larger scale, the small fruits are
among the most profitable crops that
the farm will produce.
The best liked and most widely dis
tributed small fruit is the stra wberry.
The best soil for the strawberry bed
is Il sandy loan. Strawberries do bet
ter on light soils, and the berries are
larger and of better quality. If you
have no light soil that can be used
for the strawberry bed you can greatly
improve heavy soil by manuring 1t

Not At All Comforting to the
Teacher.

One Of the women teachers went to
the principal of school in Queens

she said. II think you had better go
upstairs. A substitute teacher Is on
duty up there, and ! am afraid she
Is having terrible time. The noise
Is SO terrific the children down here
scarcely can study"
The principal went up the stairs two
steps at a time. and the noise soon
ceased. When he returned to the
lower room his face was grim. Miss
Henderson," he said. "if you hear any
more Of those noises let me know at
once"
Indeed l will" she replied. ut Is
simply outrageous that parents should
bring their children up SO they will
behave that way. Did you find out
who the children were?"
"Yes. l found out" the principal
said. scowlingly. "One is your nephew
and the other is my son." he replied.

DOWNTOWN PROPERTY MAY 81
LEASED FOR ERECTION OF
BUSINESS BUILDINGS.


tended article says: In recognition OF
the splendid work which the Univer-
sity OF Denver has done and Is doing
IN the educational field Of the Rock
mountain region. a number of citizens
interested In the work are about to
put into fruition a plan to enlarge its
scope and place 1t upon a more sub
stantial financial basis. Advantage
has been taken OF the rapidly increas.
Ing value OF the downtown property
belonging to the university and this
will be given over very large to busi-
ness blocks while the educational
work done In the heart OF the city
will be moved to a new and much
larger buildings out Broadway.
The charges will be apparent. not
only in the academic department at
University park, but in the develop
ment Of the life Of the professional
schools which are a part of the insti-
tuition.
The development Of the professional
schools has been started by the pur-
chase OF the city block bounded by
Broadway and Acoma street and by
West Fifth and West sixth evenues,
which has just been bought from H.
w. Moore. for sum slightly in ex-
cess Of $4,000. This block of ground
measures 500 feet on Broadway by
400 feet deep, and Is Immediately
south OF Broadway park Of the Den
yer baseball team OF the Western
league. 1t was formerly used by the
University OF Denver as football
field, and Is considerably below Broad
way grade.
On this ground new buildings will
be erected for the uses OF the colleges
of medicine, dentistry, law and COM
merce. Space will be provided there
also for the work OF teachers college,
which is operated Saturdays only. The
university offers college and graduate
work to teachers every Saturday
throughout the college year.
The four colleges which will be re-
moved to the block on Broadway now
occupy eight lots owned by the univer-
sity at Fourteenth and Arapahoe
streets. in the downtown district. 1t
is considered that after the building
of the new Tramway depot and the
Central National bank. the latter to
be on the west corner OF Fifteenth
and Arapahoe, the locality will be
recognized as specially adapted for Of.
flee buildings.
Downtown where the Gross Medical
school stands five lots will be retained
by the school for the medical dis
pensary and for an emergency hos
pital. The dispensary building is new.
having cost $4,000. and is said to be
az well adapted to its uses as any
medical dispensary building anywhere.
There have been on an average Of
80 900 visits of poor people last year.
|. is the intention to keep the dis
pensary as near the street car center
OF the city as possible, although the
medical college will be removed to the
block on Broadway.
The need Of an emergency hospital
In the center Of the city is very great
The question Of life or death is often
a matter Of getting the patient on the
operating table within five minutes
Of the time of receiving his injury.
The thirty minutes required to get
him to the county hospital Is often
