BONES OF PREHISTORIC
y ANIMAL DISCOVERED


PUEBLO. Gel, Dec. iS.-Buried in
the limestone formation of creek
bed Is ieet below the surface OF the
ground, the petrifed bones of an ami
NAL OF abnormal proportions have
been discovered in the Green Horn
Mountains. in western Pueblo county.
Tie finder OF the supposed remains OF
n prehistoric beast is Roy Garrett.
He had shot a squirrel while driv-
ing from his ranch TO his home in
Pueblo and. running down into the
creek bottom 10 hunt for II, stumbled
over an enormous tusk. the point of
which had been uncovered by recent
food waters.
Returning to bis wagon, Garrett
obtained spade. and by digging sew
eral hours disclosed other bones of
such gigantic proportions that he was
unable to handle them. He brought
the tusk. which measures IA inches
through and six feet I'm length to Pueb-
10, and with assistance expects TO
gather the other bones.
Garrett Is confident that IL Is the
petrified body of a mammoth or mas
todon. and that IL will furnish a val
ued addition TO some museum devoted

The pastor has his study at one
side OF the choir loft next the tower
door. The stone walls were covered
with smooth plaster and maple floor
ing was laid. The latticed windows
which had been nailed in, were glazed
and hinged The stairways took VI
too much space, and so box stairs OF
original design occupying only three
square feet OF space, were put In.
The dark top of the belfry has been
utilized as a store room for trunks
etc. There is no stairway leading &c
II. and articles must be hoisted with
ropes and pulleys.
The tower fiat Is fitted up with cleo
trio lights and gas, with an electric
stove for cooking. Heat is supplied

church. Mr.. and Mrs. Hess say they
would not exchange their fiat for any
other in the borough.

WOMEN OPPOSED
IN DIVORCE CASE
Made Possible by Appointment
of BEST Friend" for Boy
Wife is Also Minor

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1S.-That line in
an old song which says "a boys best
friend is his mother" was legally ap
court here in such q way as TO make
IL possible for one woman TO sue an
other for divorce.
The Judge appointed Mrs. Mary
Benson, No. 1920 Cook.ave., as best
friend" Of her son, Frank w. Benson
10 years old. AS Benson is a minor
he cannot sue or be sued. Yet he
wants divorce from his bride OF
four months, Katheryn Ethel Ester
Benson. who is only IA years old.
No appointment of "best friend
to represent the bride has been made,
but her mother, Mrs. Christian Ebers,
No. 500 South Eighth-st., stands ready
TO serve in that capacity. This would
make the trial all the more interest
ing, as one mother-in-law would then
be suing another mother-in-law for a
divorce, the real principals being their
minor children.
In an AFFIDAVIT filed with her appli-
cation for appointment as her sons
best friend" Mrs. Benson alleges
that her sons wife refused to cook for
him.
When told of this allegation the
young bride said the reason she did
not cook was that her husband did
not provide anything to be cooked.
They lived on bread and jelly, and
similar light diet. she said. The sep.
aration. she said, came when she fell
i'll and refused to follow Mrs. Ben
sons suggestion that she call in a
Christian Science practitioner.
Then" she said, my husbands
mother took him home with her.
Mrs. Benson's version was different.
She said she was Christian Scien'
fist. but she did not attempt to force
her daughter-in-law to take that
treatment. Her son, she said, return
ed home of his own accord.
AS to the bread and jelly diet, she
said she had provided meat for her
son and daughter-in-law.
Benson and his wife, then Miss
Katheryn Ethel Ester. eloped and
we're married at Clayton, Aug. %.

Ames July 15.--Iowa's apple crop
will yield only about 81 per cent OF
last years crop, making prospective
harvest of about a million bushels.
That is the careful estimate Of the
horticulturists of the Iowa agriculture
experiment station who have just fig
ured over the reports gathered from all
sections of the state by the weailer
and crop service Of Des Moines.
The grape crop promises to be about
80 per cent Of full crop. Earlier dan
ger of black rot and anthracnose has
been practically eliminated in most
sections and the grapes are developing
eXcellently.
The different sections of Iowa will
produce the following percentages OF
a last years crop:
Northwest, q; west central, 81;
southwest, SO; north central, Al; CEN
trial. 44; south central, os: northeast,
%; east central. 80; southeast So.
The fruit in most sections is above
normal in size for this period and with
normal rainfall from now on should be
SOoQ. UnSprayeQ OTCQaCQS are Dauly
infested with coddling moth. and in
some localities with scab. The apple
and plum curculio have done consider
able damage.
Sprayed Orchards Produce.
This important fact stands out: Re-
ports show that the SPRAYED orchards
will, on the average. produce as much
or more fruit as last yea. This in
dicatess that the yield Of the better
grades Of apples will nearly equal that
Of last year. especially il there be less
loss from drouth.
The Iowa agricultural experiment
station urges July spraying to combat
the codling moth. which is the great
foe Of apple production in the state.
In southern Iowa this spraying should
be finished by the middle of this
month: in central Iowa by about July
81; in northern Iowa. by about July %.
For the codling moth the station rec
ommends spray made by mixing one
pound of lead arsenate paste Cor one
half pound of lead arsenate powder)
to each twenty five gallons Of water.
The application should be thorough.
