POLICY PAYABLE IF DUES
UNPAID BY ARRANGEMENT

The question of the right OF a
widow to collect on policy In a fra
ternal association on which dues have
been in arrears was settled by an
opinion from the supreme court In a
case brought by Mrs. Mary Bohanna.
against the Woodmen of the World,
says a Denver daily.
Mrs. Bohanna is the widow of a
police captain of Denver who was
killed in 1905. Bohanna had made an
agreement with the clerk of the
Woodmen OF the World by which he
should pay his dues late in the month
because he did not receive his pay un
til the fifth of the month.
At the time he was killed he had
not paid his dues for the month OF
February. 1905, and the society re
fused to pay his policy Of $4,000 to
the widow.
The rulings OF the court establishes
the principle that where a fraterna
society by its local clerk allows O
member to be In arrears and accepts
tardy payments. the member has tht
right to believe that prompt payment
of dues will not be insisted upon, ant
II he died while so delinquent. the
policy must be paid.

Attention orehardistl

For years past field mice have
caused serious damage to farm crops
and orchards. Mice of this genus
are found in all parts of the world.
and the damage done by them has
not been confined to the Old World.
but in the past few years parts of the
United States have suffered serious
damage. In Colorado in the past two
years these mice have been reported
for both the Eastern and Western
Slopes. On the Eastern Slope the
damage so far as we can learn Is
only in alfalfa fields, while on the
Western Slope the same has been
done in the orchards, by the girdling
of trees, the past winter.
The writer has just visited Mont
rose, Delta and Mesa counties, and
found conditions very favorable for
serious trouble in these counties in
the next year or two. One orchard
we visited near Delta, where the third
ground, and lodged about the trees,
furnishing ideal nesting and hiding
places for these mice. The Rome
Beauty trees seemed to have suffered
the most damage, but large number
of trees had been damaged, and the
work was still going on, as the mice
could be seen running in all directions
as we walked through this orchard.
Their burrows were around the roots
of the trees. as well as in the alfalfa.
These mice breed about nine
months in the year. and each litter
is composed of from four to six, the
young females breeding when two
months old, SO when several hundred
inhabit an orchard 1t is only a short
time until countless numbers will de-
stroy the orchard. as well as spread
to the serious damage of the adjoin-
ing orchards.
Clean cultivation in the orchard and
burning of weed patches along ditch
banks and fences, thus destroying the
breeding places of these mice, is rec
commended. After the mice get into
an orchard, the first thing to do is
to clean up and destroy the mice by
the use of poison.
Orchardists. especially on the West
ern Slope, should be on the lookout
for these mice, not only in their own
orchard but in the adjoining ones. be
cause II they once get start, 1t will
be more serious than an insect out
break, as insects only destroy the
present crop. while the mice destroy
the tree which takes years to grow.
We would appreciate 1t very much
IL the ranchmen and fruit growers
would notify us Of any trouble with
these mice in their vicinity.-W. l.

lege. Fort Collins, Colorado.

We hope all those who we're oppos-

celebration Monday. To see that large
crowd enjoying themselves on the
beautiful lawn and in the shade. made
one think that we had half the worth

hundreds came that would not have
thought of coming, only they knew
that there would be comfort and
would not stand on the sidewalks or
sit in the stores all day. Great Is the
