eventful journey from Shoshoni.
Wyo., but otherwise none the worse
for her 400 mile trip, Arizona Ow-
ems arrived in Greeley at O'Clock
last night, two full days ahead OF
schedule time.
Its certainly cold weather. she
said. But since leaving Wyoming
have met with few hardships.
There. my second day out, the wind
was so strong that it threw me down
on a railroad trestle ,spraining one
knee. Then there was one time be-
fore | reached Cheyenne when 1t
was so cold that | had to strip my
shoes and stockings and rub my feet
with snow; and 1 also had to rub
my chest with handruls OF the snow
to restore circulation. Cold? No,
l had got beyond feeling that snow
was cold; but / tell you when the
blood started to circulate" She
paused. and the memories of that
fearful walk cast a shadow over her
face. face singularly smooth and
agreeable for a woman who has lived

third National Corn exposition doors

reached by a short and easy flight
of stairs,
The space, about 800 square feet,
is divided into three sections. over
the central portion is an immense
paiuting showing a Colorado agrl-
cultural scene in the foreground
Far in the distance are the noun
tains with their snow-capped peaks.
Down the sides of the mountains
course innumerable streams, and as
they reach the plains they join, pc
coming one large river. the water
of which is taken out into many II
rieati0u bitches and conveyed over
the fertile fields that appear on eN-
cry side,
while the exposition is designed
TO demonstrate what has been done
and is icing done in improving the
grade Of corn, Colorado has elabor-
atad the idea, and is showing var

Earlham's baseball nine defeated
the team from Moore's Hill College on
Reid Field yesterday afternoon by the
score OF IL to s. The visitors had but
one chance to win. That was in an
early inning. Swain opened the game
on the firing line for Earlham. His
arm was sore and he retired In favor
Of Richey. a new twirler. But Richey
was as whimsical as a coed and his
inability to locate the plate caused his
retirement. White Was called upon to
finish the pitching.
Moore's Hill has an aggregation
that plays pretty good town lot base

was no match for Earlham and the
