THE AUD|ENN :
WAS DELIGHTED

To the intense delight of a large
audience last night Charles B. Han
ford, who ranks as one of the best
Shakespearean actors of the day, gave
his performance of that merriest and
cleyerest of all OF the comedies of the
Bard of Avon, THE Tanning of the
Shrew" 1t is needless to say that
the production was worthy one and
the presentation aroused much en-
thusiasm. Mr.. Hanford has been
seen annually in Grand Junction for
years and it is doubtful If he has ever
pleased his local admirers more thor
oughly than he did last night in his
rollicking, ideal portrayal of the char
acter of Petruchio, a gentleman of
Verona and sutton to Katherine, the
Shrew.
Marie Drofnah, as Katherine, was
very delightful indeed.
The ability of Mr.. Hanford and
Miss Drofnah is too well known to
local theatregoers to need any COM
ment.
The supporting company was very
capable.
Harrison Croffod as Grumio, Pc
truchio's serving man, is surely a
comedian of extraordinary ability and
his handling of this droll, ridiculous,
vet difficult character was superb.
j. +. McGregor made a splendid
Baptista, the father of Katherine.
Pretty Louise b. White made an

daughter of Baptista and sister TO
Katherine.
All the other characters were In
good hands.
The stage settings were very hand
some and, as were the costumes, his
torically correct.
1t was a very charming perform
ance and the audience was exceeding
ly liberal and enthusiastic in its APP
plause.
The one act curtain raiser. THE
Old Guard" is beautiful and
pathetic little piece and in this play
let Mr.. Hanford. as Haversack, the
feeble old veteran, does magnificent
work. 1t is remarkable piece of
character work.

KILLED THIR OWN SON
THINKING HIM A STRANGER

Vienna, April 5.-A tragedy al
most without parallel is reported
from the province of Galicia.
A Polish emigrant, named Prem
ikowski, returned to his home in the
village of lifelong after ten years alb
sence in America. His parents did
not recognize him Immediately, so
Przenikowski pretended to be an in
innate friend of their sons. He ask
ed for nights lodging.
The old couple gladly consented to
keep him for night, and piled him
with questions. Przenikowski told
them that their son had prospered in
America, and said that he himself
had S1.250 in his pocketbook, the
result of his savings. After he re-
tired for the night the old couple de
cided to kill him and steal the money.
They strangled him In bed, and then
went through his papers. They were
horrorstricken to find passport
bearing their own name, and, after
examining other documents and GER
tain marks on the body of the dead
man, they discovered that they had
killed their son.
Overwhelmed with remorse, Prem
ikowski's aged father wrote letter
informing the authorities of the cir
cumstances, and then he and his wife

There are over 10000 boys and
girls in rural schools in Colorado, and
a greater number in towns depending
upon farming communities for sup
port.
This month the Colorado Agricul-
ttural College will begin the organiza-
tion of Boys and Girls Agricultural
Clubs, with the object of interesting
them in studying plant and animal
life and in competing in school dis
trict, county and state contests for
exhibits of farm crops.
The Agricultural College will take
up this work in each county where
the county superintendent is willing
to help. Potatoes and sugar beets
will be studied this year, in irrigated
sections, and milo in dry-land sec
lions on the plains. Next year it is
planned to add a study of grains, al
falfa and fruit: and the third yar,
the feeding and Judging of stock
For the girls we plan next year to
add bread-making and sewing, and
the third year, fruit-Canning, Jelly
making and needle work This year
we want both girls and boys to help
us study the growth of potatoes, su-
gar beets and milo, and to compete
for prizes for the best exhibits of
these crops.
Our plan is to organize a Boys and
Girls Club in any school district
where the farmers and business men
will offer $40 in prizes for any one
of these crops-a first prize of SO, a
second prize of so and five prizes of
81 each, making seven prizes for each
crop in n school district.
The college furnishes plans for the
work and a constitution for the club.
The children elect their own officers
and conduct their own meetings. The
teacher acts as librarian, securing
bulletins for each pupil, free, from
the Colorado experiment station and
from. the United States department of
agriculture. The club elects some
successful farmer in the neighborhood

men of Denver will be asked to con-
tribute prizes for this state meeting
These Boys and Girls Clubs will
create an intense interest among the
school children of the state in the
wonderful factors in plant and ami
NAL life. 1t will be found that the
interest in studying and handling
growing things win be carried to the
regular school studies, and the teach
ers will find that greater interest in
all studies will be shown by club
members.
The interest of the children in the
study of growing things and in their
school work will create an interest in
the schools on the part of parents
such as they have never shown be-
fore.
With this army of bright. enthusi-
astie young people studying to pro-
duCe the choicest forms in field CROPS,
a tremendous force will be exerted
in increasing the yield and quality
of farm crops all over the state and
in producing choice seed particularly
adapted to each section.
The Agricultural College asks the
cooperation of farmers and their
families, farmers organizations, the
newspapers, business men, banks, fair
associations, women's clubs, CONNER
cial clubs, county superintendents
and teachers in pushing this work.

THE CHERRY.

The cherry, it is true, likes good

moisture. 1t must have good drain

is sandstone upland. In such situa-
ton it is no trouble to have album

season. There is no surer fruit crop
when all is right; and every one who
has a proper location should grow
cherries. The fruit ripens so early
and is so grateful to young and old,
says National Stockman and Farmer.
How many farmers consider that
few cherry trees in bearing at home
may prevent the children from COM
hitting depredations on their more
thoughtful neighbors? Or, if it be
said-what is true--that well-raised
children do not do such things, it is
also true that to be without this choice
fruit while the neighbors are we'll

SAVING THE PEACH CROP,

For years the peach brown rot has
been recognized as a most destructive
disease of stone fruits. This is a
fungous disease and it is widespread
and very destructive to the peach
crop. The loss which it inhicts on
peach growers will easily average S5,-
100000 yearly. The loss to the peach
crop of Georgia alone is estimated at
81, 100000 a year.
Much work has been done with
view to discovering a satisfactory
remedy for this trouble. Spraying
with diluted Bordeaux mixture has
been most commonly recommended,
but its injury to the foliage has made
it unsatisfactory, since the remedy
must be applied during the growing
season.
The peach scab Gotten called "black
spot y is another disease which seri-
ously affects the peach crop in all
sections east of the Rocky Mountains,
although not causing such serious
losses as brown rot.
AS the result of experimental work
by the United States Department of
Agriculture a cheap and simple rem
edy for this disease has been found
in the self-boiled lime-sulphur wash
This can be applied during the grow
ing season with very little danger of
injuring the fruit or foliage, and it
Is very effective. Furthermore, by
mixing arsenate Of lead with the
fungicide, the curculio can be de-
stroyed at the same time.
The department has just issued
bulletin describing the preparation
and use of the remedy. This publ
cation will be of great interest to
peach growers in all sections-In-

St. Paul.-The Pioneer Press says
that the policy of retrenchment,
threatened by the railroads because
of Federal activity in preventing a
proposed increase in freight rates, is
already going into effect. Thus far
the policy has meant the discharge of
about 10000 laborers in the North
west. Orders have been received
from headquarters to stop nearly all
new construction work, while plans
for extensions and betterments have
been dropped temporarily
1t is estimated that the Northern
Pacific has given orders to lay off
$500 men. the Great Northern 5000
and the Chicago and Northern 600.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
discharged between 1000 and 1900
men during the first part of June in

present, the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul is not extending the policy OF
retrenchment in the Northwest. The
