Chssch Last S,,sday

Theve were no services 1t any Of
the other churches last Sunday ~
the people Of Gsnnison gathered st
the Methodist church to worship.
DR. Nuekolls, with HE usual aptitude
for planning pleasant surprises for
his congreestion, had invited Dr.
Aker Of Hutchinson, Kansas. to
preach at the morning service, and
DIR. T. c. Iliff of Denver at the even
ing service.
DR. Aker is q pleasant, forceful
speaker, and everyone agreed that he
is . remarkably deep thinker.
The people Of Gunnison felt that
in welcoming DR. Lift of Denver.
they were extending the glad hand
TO one Of their own people, for DR.
Iliff has done constructive church
work in the Rocky Mountains for
over forty three years. The history
Of his early experiences in the noun
tains of Colorado, Wyoming and
Utah read like fairy tale. His en-
counters with Indians, both friendly
and inimical, struggles with wild
animals and narrowing desert ex-
periences made his life one full Of
thrills Of a sort not often met today.
For several wears he has devoted
his time to giving lectures and dedi-
eating churches all over the United
States. He is probably the most
skillful financial campaign manager
in all Methodism in the United
States today
The most attractive characteristic
of DIR. Lift is his optimistic, open
hearted, frank way Of meeting peo-
pie Every man he meets is i'm
mediately his friend This largely
accounts for his success in all lines
of church work he has undertaked
The sermon which DIR. Iliff preah-
ed Sunday evening was one of uni
versal appeal. and if he returns to
Gunnison at any later time be will
find that be has made many friends
DIR and Mrs. Aker and DIR. and
Mrs Iliff have been camping at the

cotton make a good stalk and are
deficient in fruit l would suggest that
you use acid phosphate alone at the
rate of 200 pounds per acre. If de-
ficient both in stalk and fruit use
an equal mixture of acid phosphate
and cotton-seed meal.

1t a top dressing of acid phosphate
every year at the rate of 200 pounds
per acre. and after 1t has been on
the land several years an application
of potash may also be OF advantage.
A durable stand of alfalfa can not
be secured on land which does not
contain a good supply of lime. but
the soils of the western part OF the
state are fairly well supplied with
