Free Freight and Storage at the Apple
Show.

The Wells Fargo and the Globe
Express companies have each
agreed to carry exhibits addressed
to the Apple Exposition at Den
yer and not Weighing over 800
pounds free OF charge. The Den
yer Chamber of Commerce has
also arranged to have free stor-
age for all exhibits in less than
carloads. This gives the little
fellow a chance to get in without
too much expense. The freight
and storage will have to be paid
by the exhibitor in the carload
classes. This is no more than
right as a carload exhibit is going
to be a purely commercial prop
osition to the exhibitor. The ex-
ira price that he will receive for
his fruit will more than recon-
pense him for his expenditures.

NORTH CHURCH APPROVES
PROPOSED MERGER

In meeting Wednesday evening. OF
the North Congregational church, the
matter of the merger of that church
with the Woodward-ave. Congregation
al church was informally discussed,
and II was the unanimous opinion that
such a proceeding would be wise
one. IL Is believed that, with these
two organizations working together.
the city missions will be built up and
the UNCONVENTIONAL interests Ia the
city greatly promoted.
The influential men in both church
es will then have all opportunity 10
assist the pastors In big forward
movement, and this will make one
>strong church. instead of two strug-
Cling ones. The merger will also
mean the bringing Of DR.. Forbush, who
IS an expert on matters pertaining 20
child study and child ministry, 10 the
north church. in the neighborhood
where there is large number OF chill
dren and he will have ample oppor.
tunity to carry on his chosen work.
In his present field, 1t is principally a
floating population and the work is so
interrupted that he has been unable
to fully develop HIS plans
A meeting OF the congregation will
be held next Monday evening, when
the matter will be fully discussed and
