POPE SEES PEACE RAY
Vatican's Official Organ Sees Comfort
ing Sign, "Though Very Weak

Rome. Aug. 2.-(via Paris, Aug. 3D.
Discussing the many messages and
statements issued in various countries
on the first anniversary of the war,
the Ossovatore Romano, official organ
of the Vatican, says:
Reading these foreign messages, we
are pleased to note that the language
has been modified in tone so that, in
sense, it is more pacific or more hu-
name In place of inexorab BILE war
cries and proposals to annihilate the
enemy, there begins to be substituted
more humane accent. Although
circumscribed, we see in this the pos
sibility of a discussion leading to peace.
1t is a most comforting sign, although
very weak as yet"

JUDGE BEN B. LINDSEY
IN CONTEMPT OF COURT

Ben B. Lindsey, of the Denver ju-
venile court, was found in con-
tempt of court by District Judge

the juvenile court judges refusal
to reveal on the witness stand
what he claimed was a confiden-
tial conversation with Neal
Wright, u, whose testimony in
criminal court had much to do
with the acquittal of his mother,
Mrs. Bertha Wright, charged with

CANVAS PRAIRIE A PoRcUPINE
COUNTRY


A couple of years ago the Globe con-
tanned an account of George Troeh
killing a porcupine at Lake Tolo and
the corpse was on exhibition at this
office for some time, attracting con-
siderable attention. Last week the Cot
tonwood Chronicle told OF the capture
of one of the GULLY varmints near that
place as follows:
When he returned home Saturday
night about II o'clock from town Frank
Kelsey ran foul of some strange ami
NAL in his front yard and proceeded at
once to investigate. The visitor was
a queer looking bundle which he at
first took to be a badger but close
inspection proved 1t to be a porcupine
that had strayed far from it's native
heath and Frank was moved with q
desire to capture 1t alive. Calling
his brother WIN, who was asleep In
the house, he held the animal in the
yard while Will secured wash tub
and the quilted visitor was soon unded
the tub and safe from harm.
The porcupine has held the center
of attraction in the show window Of
the Hoene hardware store this weeH
and has been viewed by hundreds. man.
of whom acknowledged 1t as being the
first they had ever seen. The porcu-
pine does not seem to mind It's cap
tivity and is proving source OF much
amusement to the small boys, scores
of whom gather around the window eac
evening when the little animal comes
out of its daily nap and gets busy In
its cage.
