WHAT TO DO WITH THE KIDD ,Ers

C,oneress of Freaks.

Professor Woodson of Michigan has
arranged to be held in Berlin during
June and July a congress of the
worlds abnormalities and freaks.
Represented by Otto Paul of Berlin,
Professor Woodson proposes to hold
open meetings where the chief mana
gers of human freaks will assemble
with their exhibits. The object of the
congress is to improve the status of
freaks and to take measures to pre-
vent their exploitation. Combined
with the congress will be public ex-
hibition of all the worlds freaks that
can be collected. The advertisement
announcing the congress says that the
public can for the first time obtain a
comprehensive view of all living hui
man abnormalities. The Humane So
ciety is already taking measures to get
the police to prevent the exhibition on
the grounds that it is inhuman and
indecent.-Berlin Gable to the New

WORK STOPPED

With a hole in the ground nearly
1000 feet deep, the school directors

don't know whether they are digging
for oil. water or gas. The well was
started with an idea of securing an
artesian water flow for the use of the
school, but before the hole had been
driven down 500 feet heavy gas
and oil flow was encountered. This
has abated now. however, and the
likelihood of finding further pools of
oil are small. The hoped-for artesian
water seems about as far off as the
oil, but they propose to go down at
least 200 feet further in hopes of
striking something which will be of
value to pay for the expense of the
well.

STORY IN POST
Says Lord Ogilvy. writing from
Grand Junction in the Denver Post:

This section has been keeping an
eye on the weather, the season be-
ing from three weeks to month lat
er than usual.
There have been continual flurries
of snow in the hills and the temper
ature below normal for the time of
year, but Mr.. Herrick, the fruit ex-
pert. informs me that though they
were anxious about frost on Saturday
night, that the danger is probably
now passed. Many people took the
trip over the interurban to view the
apricot, peach and pear blossoms,
which is very profuse this year, Civ
ing promise of a heavy crop. The
fruit belt route passes the well-kept
fair grounds and out among the or
chard trees. where the right of way
has been placed, so that those along
the way can place packed fruit i'm
mediately on the cars almost from
the very tree itself.
Fields are green here with alfalfa
eight inches to a foot high, garden
truck is coming forward, and a good
deal of corn as well as potatoes al
ready planted.
Keeping Orchards Young.
A good many old trees have been
removed and young ones put in their
place to keep orchards young for a
high quality of fruit, and in other
cases trees have been severely cut
back and top worked. Mr.. Miller,
from Missouri, has taken out one
prune orchard and now a fine herd
of swine are grazing the alfalfa, and
very fine herd of Poland Chinas
was seen near Fruita.
Mich cows still seem few in num-
ber, but are, | am told. increasing.
Training trees in the way they
should grow and keeping them cor
rect in form is very thoroughly car
ried out on Mr.. Craven's place at
Copeco. Forty cents an hour is paid
for this work. Mr.. Craven is one of
Grand functions biggest merchants,
and he has a swimming pool and
clubhouse on the orchard land for
the employees of his store. The water
is carried in cement lined bitches and
pipes. practice rapidly gaining in
favor around here.
Not much Smudging.
Smud ging does not seem to have as
many advocates this season as for
merly, perhaps because the trees came
so much later in bloom, and but
few pots are to be seen except around
the peaches and apricots. for which
crops artificial heat seems to be most
in favor.
Settlement is very close on small
tracts all the way from Grand juno
ton to the beautiful town of Fruita.
with its 600 inhabitants.
Grand Junction has already done a
good deal of paving and more will be
carried on this summer until at least
the two main avenues and cross
street have been covered. Fifteen
miles of her new pipe line from the
mountains were tested yesterday and
found satisfactory. and she will soon
have clear water from high up in
the hills. like the smaller neighbor-
ing towns.
1t is several years since the valley
has been in such uniformly good
shape and promised such a bumper
crop as the present season.

FORSYTH TAKES
SLAP At JEWS

= Considerable indignation has g

= formerly of Grand junction and =

: of the Denver district. &
$ s 3 = So, s.eFsSS
The address was delivered before
the Ministerial Alliance yesterday,
and in it DIR. Forsyth declared that
the Jewish people threaten to become
"a menace to the entire country"
One paragraph of his address was
as follows:
THE day is not far distant when
the entire matter of financing this
country will be in the hands of the
Jews. My eyes were opened to this
fact by recent visit to New York
city. There they are largely in con-
troll of commercial affairs. | learned
that all the leading daily papers of
that city are owned by Jews, with
one exception, and on that one the
managing editor is a Jew. If the
church does not bestir itself these
people will become a menace to the
entire country"
Naturally and righteously. For
syth's declaration concerning the
Jewish people becoming a menace"
is resented, and the resentment will
not be confined to any one section of
the state.
