house, well.known motion picture
artist, was returning to her hotel after
a day of work at the studio. She en-
tered a street car and seated herself
comfortably across the aisle from a
child about six years old. The young
ster gazed at Ruth in a hewildering
way and finally let cut shrek that
could be heard a block. Mother" the
child cried, that's the girl that was
frozen to death in the picture last
night" and sure enough 1t was. Ruth
was embarrassed for a few minutes
but finally got up, took the child in
her arms and told her to come to the
studio some day and see her work.
The child promised to do SO.

corh and Pumpins on Same Acreas,

CotU dHu ruUlptuS eon odfUc ACTcdSS.
Longmont. = The raising of two
crops on the same, ground has
proved most profitable to some OF the
farmers in the Longmont section this
year.
Until two or three years ago It was
not believed that corn could be raised
with any success in this section, but
with the advent of the silos for cat
tie feeding. some of the farmers ex-
perimented last year with small
acreage, with satisfactory results.
The two crops were planted on the
same ground, neither interfering with
the growth of the other The corn
crop proved to be equal to that raised
in the famous corn states. the growth
of the fodder being heavy and the
kernels large and solid, making a
profitable crop by itself, being worth
TO the feeders from $50 to $40 per
acre
The pumpkin crop. which at plant
ing time was regarded as secondary,
in most cases proved the most valu-
able. The contract price is SO per
ton and the yield from fifteen to
twenty-five tons to the acre, making
two of the easiest crops to tend. re.
turn about 500 per acre.
