thor of the opera the Wizard of OF.

the young lady who is to become his
bride.
The approaching marriage has very
very successfully been kept secret

friends have known that the mar
riage was to occur so soon. 1t is
reported that only the relatives are
to witness the ceremony
Miss Gourley is at present engaged
in teaching In one of the leading ru-
raj schools in the east end of the val
ley. She is a graduate of the local
high school and grew from childhood
to young womanhood in this city.
She is avery attractive and cultured
young woman and is exceedingly
popular.
Mr.. Greear has resided in Denver
for a considerable period and is a
Young man Of splendid character and
high standing. He has considerable
property interests.
No marriage solemnized this fall
will cali forth more good wishes for
the happy principals than will this

some Liked II. Some Did Noi.

Grand junction saw The Soul
Kiss" last night II was not the orig
inal production OF the sensational
music show, in which the famous
pertina, the European dancer. is
starring, but from all accounts 1t was
an excellent and pretty accurate imi
tation of the real thing. Ii was q
large audience that gathered at the
Park theatre TO see the much talked
of production. There is much COM
ment TO he heard today on the show.
Most people who have been heard TO
attempt criticisms have declared that
it was not half as naughty as the
pictures made out a few others
have been heard TO say that ii was at
times dangerously close to the vulgar
and coarse. However, from all indi-
cations, the show seems to have pleas
ed pretty we'll, 1t was big company,
one of the largest seen here in sew
eral seasons. The girls were plentiful
and most of them were graceful and
could sing well. Several of the prin-
cipals were clever and good singers,
Others were not at all good. The
scenery and costumes were elaborate,
especially the scenery for ii must be
said that in some instances the cos

tensive. There We're dozen or more
of big stage settings, all pretty. The
music was tuneful, catchy and re-
freshing. Some of the comedy was
good and new. other was indifferent
and old There We're many bright
moments In the play and some rather
dull ones. There were several ex-
ceedingly lively lingerie and neither
limb displays, giving much color and
no little spice to the performance.
Two or three of the scenes might have
been little less suggestive and at the
same time not have lessened the en-
ioymont OF the entertainment The
ballet was easily one of the biggest,
handsomcst and liveliest ever seen
here. The soul kissing scene was not
notable enough to Justify 1t claiming
the right TO the title of the whole
play.

means that within few years the children viii
have six weeks more of school besides giving
the farmer the additional advantage Of having
more time to prepare his lands for the next sea-
sons crop.
DISTRIBUTION OF IMPROVED SEEDS
During the last fiscal year Of the farmers Co
operative demonstration work the distribution
OF the improved cotton seed and corn. according
70 DR. Knapp's report. has been follows:
Improved cotton seed purchased with Con-
greSsiOnal funds and by the GeneEal Education
Board. 5.364h bushels
Improved corn seed purchased with Congress
sional funds and by the General Education
Board. 11O5H bushels.
Improved cotton seed purchased by merchants
farmers. etc, through the direct influence of the
demonstration work. 1855 y bushels.
Improved corn seed purchased in same way.
S.5S11S bushels.
Each demOnstrator is visited monthly BY the
local agent The cooperating neighbOFs are
notified by card OF the time Of the visit. and
thus a small field school of agriculture is held
ON the demonstration farm. These meetings are
usually attended BY from five to thirty neigh
bOrs and, the progress OF the crops is thOrOughly
discussed. while any questions asked are fully
answered by the local agent.
The universities of the Middle West may wen
claim the distinction of being the leaders in the
movement for farming research work. and their
agricultural Investigations and studies have al
ready resulted In the acquisitions OF information
which has been worth thousands of dollars to
the farmer. There are great possibilities in this
work, and ii is not going too far to predict that

almost entirely different basis from what il is az
