A BANANA DEAL
 BEING CLOSED
Early Distribution of $125,- GOO Which Ned Creighton as Receiver for the Hon duras Development Com pany Has Been Holding

A good deal of money, that is to say, $125,oOO will probably be dis tributcd next Saturday and Ned Creighton will be relieved of a heavy responsibility but will probably be burdened with a large fee Mr Creighton is receiver for the Hon duras Development company under an appointment Of a little less than a year ago and he is also receiver under a later appointment of the Colorado Honduras Development com pany and the Honduras Banana Plan tatiOn company. The two last named companies are affiliated with the Honduras Development company or are subsidiary to it.
 The first receivership is the result of suit brought by A. Baldwin of New Orleans, q heavy creditor of the company and it was brought for the purpose of confirming a sale of the property of the company to the Unit ed Fruit company which was already the holder of considerable block of the company's bonds. The same end could have been reached by the purchase of the stock of the com pany but it was so widely scattered that the United Fruit company pre- ferred to accept a receivers deed to the property which consists of eight hundred acres of valuable banana land in Honduras and a railroad ten miles in length, built at a cost 6f $100,000, beside lighters and other property.
 If this enterprise had been begun with the object of making money legitimately it would have succeeded but the promoters did not look be- yond the promotion stage. The stock was sold all over the country with the storm center of operations in Michigan. The stock was sold in small quantities to working girls and persons generally of small means. The agent for the sale of the stock retained forty per cent in the way of a commission. When no more stock could be sold the original promoters dropped out of it. Many obligations had been incurred and an attempt was made to put the company on a firm basis. The business was put into the hands of a retired parsOn who was honest enough, but lacked business ability. His nagement of the affairs of the company in his general ignorance, were almost as criminal as that of his predecessors But in spite of the management, at one time it was thought that the enterprise would succeed. The com pany had two very good years and then came two back breaking seasons and the company found itself hope 1essly involved. It was then that bencficent institution, the United Fruit company, came to the relief of the Honduras Development company as it had come to the relief of many another rival in the banana belt, it's reward for it's bcnevOlence generally being the property of those who had attracted it's good offices.
 Tn the settlement, the price agreed upon for the property was s250,0O0 but only property to the amount of $25,OO0 was involved in the action begun in the courts of this county and judgment for that amount was rendered. The money was put into the hands of the receiver last De- cember. Since then he has been gathering together the claims which are to be satisfied.

 Too much cannot be said of the heady work of Morris back of Mesa's s home plate. He has held the team in pinches and directed it at all times Mesa has bunch of winners, but lately there has been some dis organization. due to the absence of some of the old men from the line up.

A Great Federal Spy

One of the most famous, most TO- mantle and most fearless characters that were developed by the great Civil War was that of Charlotte Cushman, who as a federal spy in all sorts of disguises, penetrated the innermoSt secrets of the confederate Q armies reporting regularly to her chiefs in the union army enabling them to circumvent in many in stances the plans of the cOnfcderates. The Selig company has chosen the life of this wonderfully beautiful young woman for a feature film, which begins two day exhibition at the Lamara Theater this after noon.

Every three years there is a Han del Festival, at which his oratorios are performed by four thousand Xe- cutants, collected from all the choirs in England. The effect is horrible, and everybody declares it sublime. Many of the songs in these ora torios were taken by Handel from his operas and set to pious words: for example, "Rendc sereno il eiglio nadre: non piange piu" has become Lord remember David: teach him thy ways If any one in England were to take the song from the or atorio and set it back again to secu- lar words, he would probably be prosecuted for blasphemy.

The bill at the Coliseum this week is well worth the price of admission, inasmuch as all the acts appearing are features in their own particular line. Bernard Eckert, the musician quite charms the audience with his act, offering some very beautiful numbers full of harmony and handled in a masterful manner. Mclaughlin x Stewart are presenting The Hick- vile Pair" a comedy sketch that is real up-to- date, clean cut comedy The act is of the rube style, and put over in that snappy manner which so few sketches seem capable of doing. The Gilmore Girls offer a very pleasing singing and dancing act far above the average which never fails to please, as is easily proven by the many encores of which they are re- cipient each evening.

These have been kept firm by q
borough bath of cold water.
The butter was properly worked in
he churn by swinging 1t for few
minutes. then allowing 1t to stand for
4 little while. A quart of cold water
was then poured over 1t and the churn
slowly turned for perhaps two minutes.
rhe roller of the butter worker was
passed over 1t several times until the
correct texture had been secured. The
roller probably made about six turn
lngs, the butter being manipulated with
The ladle to secure uniformity.
We use table machine In making
lhe prints. These were wrapped in
parchment paper, and around the
parchment paper paratfin paper was
wrapped. This additional material was
used in order that In shipping to the
fair no undesirable odors would be alb
sorbed from not overneat platforms
and shipping stations.
We intended to speak of few Of
the important things in making high

thing. Any idea that the ultimate con-

GREEN MANURE.

Few people understand the real
value of green manure. Accord
ing to DR.. Hopkins Of the Illinois
station, animals digest and thus
destroy two-thirds of the dry
matter in the feed which they
consume, so that one ton of al
falfa or clover plowed under
would add as much humus to the
soil as will three tons of clover
fed to live stock and returned as
manure to the land, even If there
should be no loss by fermenta-
tion. Green manuring has the
advantage of returning all the
substance of the plant growth to
the soil aud Of destroying the
weeds, while manurlng In the or
dinary way does not return all of
the plant growth, nor does 1t de-
stroy the weeds when 1t is hauled
out fresh. Say

EARLY TEACHING OF

languages just issued by the United
schin. author of the bulletin, shows
that even before the English settle
ments were fairly started, the Jesuits
were bringing their language and civ
ilization into the valleys of the st.
Lawrence and the Mississippi. In
Louisiana French was first taught by
the Ursuline nuns. who came from
Rouen. France. in 1927. In their con-
vent school they anticipated the de-
