gress hotel by the Ladies' Tailors and

A second OF the six was led into
the dressing room. She was undeniably
pretty, also undeniably plump.

'Ts Il not so?" demanded the astute
Mr.. Pluym OF the model, You are
a shoe model? You have a pretty
face and a harming foot, but my dear
young lady. these designs are for slim
women" He held one OF the gowns
mp. See" he said, You couldn't
wiggle into this"
Then the other four were brought
forward None of them would fill the
bill. 1t was too apparent to Mr.
Pluym's educated eye that they would
too completely fill the gowns.
THE fashionable figure is the stove
pipe" Mr.. Pluym explained. I'VE are
TO have another season OF tight skirts
The gowns that We brought with us
have all been fitted to slender young
women. We can't use these girls"

the complications brings many laughs
Dave Lewis has inserted into the play
many bright lines of his own construc-

baseball association has received
word from Manager Bay, who is win

has ten men signed, among the num-
Der being V. c. Tolly of Chicago. He
is a second baseman and performed
last year in the Chicago city league,
where he batted .2S0 and is said to
be a fast infielder. Tolly will be a
candidate for second base, proving
the theory that Bay is after young
sters and that Bloomington will by
no means be represented by team
that has long served it's usefulness

Tomorrow's baseball card will con-

grounds, and the Interstates and
Fruita at the lower valley ball lot.
The two city league teams are evenly
matched and the entire line-up from

face Davis and these two fingers
are as good as the city league has.
At Fruita Diggles or Johnson will

bunch.
The original plans of the city
league officials included the extern
sion of the season until September
10, but it is probable, with good
weather that the city games can be
carried on until October Is, at least.
There is much interest in the game
here and the teams are thinking of
extending the season. A pennant-

Lecture Tomorrow Night.

The lecture which is TO be delivered
tomorrow evening at the Presbyteri-

by Rev. j. Lugene Shook, has the
endorsement of the press and pulpit
of many cities. The prominent
leaders of the Presbyterian church in
many stetes have given strong COM
mendation to the ecture and Rev.
Shook himself for his able desserta-
tion on civic life and religious ad-
vancement in the islands. The fact
that he spent many years in the
islands as a missionary has given
him an intimate view OF the affairs
of the natives and the erect of civil
izing influences upon them. The
lecture is illustrated by stereopticon

MANAGERFLETCHER HAS EXPERT
TO EXAMINE STRANGE DEFECT
Peculiar Insect, Causing Formation Of Gum on
Peaches Worrying Some of the Fruit
Growers but no Danger is Expected.

"a very peculiar defect has been
noticed this season in number of the
peach orchards of the valley, a defect
that at once attracted the attention
of the Grand Junction Fruit Grow
ers' association and casual inyestiga-
tion failed to establish the exact
cause and nature Of the defect
Determined to solve the problem,
and to prevent any further spread
of the defect, Manager Howard G..
Fletcher of the association secured
the services of Prof. II. p. Taylor. the
well known fruit culture expert, who
is probably more thoroughly ae-
quainted with orchard conditions of
the Grand valley than any other hor-
ticulture expert. Prof. Taylor made
special trip to this district last
Sunday and accompanied by Manager
Fletcher and Mr. r. Il. Turpin of the
board of directors of the association.
made an inspection tour of the or
chards affected A number of hours
were spent in examining the trees and
the fruit.
The peaches having this trouble
are seen hanging on the trees with
drops of gum, or strings of . gum,
hanging from them. On knocking
OF TINS gum there is nothing no
ticeable on the skin of the peach, ex-
cepting a darkened spot, and in many
cases the fruit has been injured clear
to the pit, causing such fruit to be
absolutely worthless.
Prof. Taylor secured a large num-
Der of samples and took them to his
laboratory at Rifle for investigation
He has rendered. in a letter receiv-
ed by Manager Fletcher, his opinion
as to the cause of the trouble and
while he is not ready to advise the
remedy he will continue his investi-
CATION, and no doubt will succeed in
solving the problem and making Ii
possible to eliminate the defect.
The Sentinel has secured permis-
sion to publish the letter Prof. Taylor
wrote to Manager Fletcher concern
ing the defect. II is of keen interest
to all fruit growers and is as fol
