Grand Junction, Colo-The Presby-

to put the Sunday moving picture
shows out of busines. At meeting
of the church trustees, the Rev. DR..
Luther Edwards, the pastor, was au-
thorized to buy machine with the
necessary films. Shows will be held
on Sunday all day, except during serv-
Ices and until 10:30 o'clock at night.
The public will be admitted fre.
Instead of films showing train rob-
berries, suggestive love scenes, or sup
posedly humorous events, the church
machine will be utilized entirely for
education and religious purposes All
leading historical episodes will be H.
lustrated. Moving pictures will be
used to illustrate sermons and lec-
lures and all will have an educational
value
BY this means 1t is hoped that the
picture show theaters will be forced
to close on Sunday or else meet the
competition offered by the church

ESCAPES WEIRD FATE|
DIVER is HELD UNDER WATER
BY MONSTER ABALONE.
Wrenches Himself Free When Almost
Drowned-His Fingers Were Bad.
Iy Lacerated by tho Shell
of MoIIusc.

Avalon, Cal.-Many years ago Vic
tor Hugo wrote in his "Toilers OF the
Sea" wonderful bit of description
wherein he pictured a man slowly
sinking to suffocation in a Quicksand.
Clarence Brodie got some inkling of
the sensations of such death in the
waters near here. Brodie, who Is an
ter by his fingers by an abalone and
held there until he thought he was
about to drown.
He succeeded in wrencbing himself
loose with badly torn digits and now
the gentle one-shelled mollusc is q
thing of terrible menace to him.
There have been many tales and
traditions up and down the California
coast of how fishermen and others
have groped along the bottom when
the tide was low, how they have had
their hands caught in the terrible
grip of the abalone. how they were
held as the tide rose higher and high
er until they drowned or how they
desperately chopped off the impris-
oned member to get free Brodie had
something of such an experience here.
Accompanied by two companions he
went out to gather some abalones.
Diving to the bottom, Brodies made
the mistake of trying to tear one of
the abalones loose by clawing his
fingers under the rim of its shell. In
stantly the powerful muscles Of the
mollusc closed down the shell on the
rock to which 1t clung and Brodie
found himself held helpless.
His breath was becoming exhausted
as he struggled to free his fingers
and finally with one supreme wrench
he tore the fingers from under the
abalone shell and rose to the surface.
His fingers were badly lacerated and
he may carry the scars as souvenir
of his adventure for life. {

MEANS OF INCREASING EGGS
Hen Must Receive Abundance of
Food of Right Character-Corn Is
Excellent for Fattening.

There are two means. of increasing
egg probationary proper feeding
and by proper breeding.
To lay well, hen must receive an
abundance of food, and food of the
right character. Food rich in carbo-
hydrates, such as corn and rye, tends
to the production Of fat, and fat hens
are not the best layers.
Food rich in protein, with judi
cious proportion of carbonaceous ele-
ments to keep up heat and force, will
enable hen to lay freely.
Corn is a good food for poultry, es-
pecially excellent for fatteninG.
Oats, with the outer husks removed
or softened, combined with wheat
bran, make an excellent laying food.
For the general poultry keeper, a
mash, fed wet or dry, composed OF
equal parts Of ground oats, wheat
bran, cornmeal and beef scraps, for
the morning meal, with corn, cracked
or whole, for the evening meal, will
give excellent results.
In cold weather the mash, If fed
moist, should be mixed with boiling
water, allowed to stand for while
so that the constituents may swell
and the mixture cool somewhat. 1t
should be fed warm, but not hot.
The corn for the evening will give
better results if it is also fed warm.
Grit and abundance of pure water
must be supplied, and the addition of
sprouted oats to the diet will be
found beneficial. AS a stimulating
variety an occasional meal of oats
fried in beef fat or lard will be useful.

Fairbanks Came Back.

Douglass Fairbanks is quite certain
that there is no. great disgrace in
having 1t known that he comes from
the city, but at the same time he
hates to have that fact make him the
butt for all jokes his country cousins
may try to spring.
Only few days ago young Fair
banks made up his mind to spend q
Sunday on some quiet farm where
no one would know him and where
he would not be obliged to say a
word all day If he didn't feel like
it. He picked out his place and late
Saturday night started for it.
Sunday morning he was up as early
as any one in the house.
The old farmer, who was just start
ing out to turn the cows into the
lane thought he saw a chance to "get
across" with his favorite summer
boarder Joke.
Going up to Fairbanks he said !:
Been out to hear the haycock
crow?"
And without batting an eye, Fair
banks said: "No, I've just been tying
knot in a cord of wood" Time.

KILL ENEMIES OF CABBAGE
How New York Carpenter Accidental.
Iy Stumbled Onto Means of Get
ting Rid of Worms.

By LESLIE +. PAUL., Colorado Agri-
cultural College)
Cabbages are subject to the at
tacks of several insects, but espe
cially of the green cabbage worm and
the cabbage aphis, for which vari
GUS spraying mixtures are found to
be highly efficacious However, for
the man who likes to make his sauer
kraut himself, or to grow few cab
bages for his table there is a simple
remedy for these insects which in
wolves very little trouble and for
which the remedy is always at hand,
and here is the story of its discovery:
A carpenter living in town in
New York was very proud of his lit
eral rows of fine cahbages one year.
These grow well for a time until he
was summoned away from home for
a few days. Upon his return he went
out to the garden and there beheld
a sorry sight. The cabbages which
had been his especial pride were
honeycombed and contained hundreds
of these voracious cabbage worms.
His anger was frightful to witness,
and his language unfit for publica-
tion. He dashed into the house to
tell his wife what had happened dur
ing his absence, and beheld two
steaming kettles upon the stove.
Grabbing one in each hand he re-
turned to the garden and poured boil
ing water over every cabbage. Thus
his rage was satisfied and the worms
punished. The cabbages were sorry
sight, appearing to be pretty thor
oughly cooked. But to his great sur
prise, in the course of week they be-
gan to head up and he had the best
cabbages he had ever had.
Briefly, the secret is to pour about
a cupful of boiling water into the cab
bage just after the inner leaves have
begun to curve toward to form the
head. The leaves thus cooked dry
into a hard exterior, shutting out the
worms from the inside and continue
to grow from the internal but into a
firm solid head.

AUNT pAYSON'S

Aunt Payson was village widow
who had reached the age of sixty, and
soon after her birthday the town was
electrified by the announcement that
she had received legacy of $500. The
money had to be put on exhibition be-
fore the people would be satisfied, and
then it naturally followed that about
200 of the population called to advise
with her as to how to invest She lis

nounced that she should use most Of
it to buy herself piano.
The village fell down at the an
nouncement. All labor was suspended
for a day, that the thing might be
talked over. Individuals called. and a
committee called, but Aunt Payson
was firm,

twelve times apiece before she made
her selection, but at last she struck
tone that chorded with her feelings
and put down the cash. She could

was only one tune she wanted to play,

miles west of Durand, after a journey
lasting over three months. AS an evil
dence of canine instinct it seems al
most incredible, yet rigid investiga-

stated. The dog is now being cared

the dog, which Mr.. Raethke took with

small station. After writing back home
about the incident it was forgotten,
and the dog had passed from mem

was seen at the deserted Raethge
house. Judy Coaty, the nearest neigh
Dor, remembering the Raethke dog,
soon recognized in the strange, gaunt
animal dog familiar in the neigh

The one she's been saving to make q

She bought a COW, and she played
for the COW, and she thought it added
to the richness of the milk. She got
hens and played and sang to them,
and they certainly stood on one leg
and closed their eyes, and one could
almost swear that the tender senti-

them were almost sure to be of double

in to suggest a change. The sugges-
