sDiscovery Shocks Exclusive Circle Of
victor Society When Girl
. Reveal to be q Boy.

Victor, Colo. Jan. 10.--The discovery
was made today that Irene Monahsn.
aged IS. until recently q pupil in the
high school, is q boy, although she al
ways dressed in girls attire.
The admission OF the deception by
the boys parents has caused much
excitement in Victor. as young Mona
han has been prominent in the most
exclusive circles Of young people and
has frequently been called the most
beautiful girl in Victor.
The boy was formally presented to
| Victor society at a fashionable dane
ing party last fall and Mt that time
his picture was published in several
Denver papers with the note that
Irene Monahan Ia one OF Colorado's
most charming debutantes OF the
year"
While attending the high school he
was a general favorite among the
students. was admitted to the most
select girls CLUB n was especially
popular among the boys.
Mrs. Monahan said today that she
had permitted the deception because
the boy refused to wear boys clothes
and she thought It would do no harm
to allow the disguise. The father ad-
mitted that he knew Irene was a boy
but he had made II a practice not to
interfere in the training OF his chill
dren.
The boy declared that he would
cave Victor rather than wear male
attire.
ITS a lot more FUN being a girl
he said.

pertinent stations and colleges. but
nowhere better than at Cornell uni

an address to Connecticut poultry
men, explained their method of feed

Tuesday, Rev. c. j. Albrecht of New

W. c. Rumsch OF Butterfield was
elected secretary, Rev. J. Nauman,
d. d., president of the Minnesota
synod, led in the discussion of prin-
ciples involved in the soliciting and
receiving Of financial aid for church
purposes. The first principle to be
considered in this as in all church
work is to serve the gospel in the
spirit Of the gospel, secondly, that
only Christians have the duty as
well as the ability properly to per-
form the work of the church by
preaching the gospel and giving per.
sonal and financial aid, thirdly, to

work moved on very smoothly and
what was accomplished was COM

spect. The conferees were much

here. At the time of their last visit,

Attorney General Lyndon a. Smith.
in decision that will be of interest
to every grain shipper in the north
west and to elevator men and cham
ber of commerce members generally,
today decided that the sale of grain,
by a receiver, to a Subsidiary" com.
pany, with consent of the shipper,
is not in itself violation of law.
This was basic question about which
there was a sharp controversy in the
notable investigation Of the Minnaa-
polls Chamber Of Commerce by the
state legislature at the last session.
"If a commission merchant, without
consignee's consent, should make a
sale of consigned grain to a firm or
corporation in which he is interested,
it would be contrary to law and
good morals" the opinion says, "but
if made with the previous consent
of the consignor a question of fact
may arise as to whether such con,
sent is so given as to free the trans.
action of the presumed illegality."
The Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce has a rule prohibiting sales
of the nature involved in the ques-
ton.
