EFFECTS OF WEATHER

Summary of weather condition as
affecting crops in Colorado for the
week ending June IT, as reported
by the weather brueau:
The week was dry and unseason-
ably warm, except in the southwest
ern part of TIE state. where the nights
-sere too cool for u satisfactory
growth of vegetation. Unirrigated
crops are badly in need of rain, es-
pecially in north-central districts,
where unirrigatod crops in some To-
calities are nearly a total loss. Rain
is also needed in some irrigated dis
t-icts in northern counties, where
the supply of water is inadequate.
Some grain land is boing plowed un-
der in Boulder county. Winter wheat
and spring wheat are generally in
good condition, and barley, rye and
oats are doing nicely, except in To-
crlities in north-central counties.
where small grains on unirrigated
lands are suffering seriously from
drought. Corn, potatoes and truck
are recovering from damage by frost
Strawberries are coming into market
freely. Sugar beets are in fair to
good condition. Some damage is re-
ported from web worms in Sedgwick
county. The first crop of alfalfa is
generally satisfactory, some districts
reporting an excellent yield. The
fruit outlook is good, except locally

Elderly Women at Party

Last .Thureday afternoon nineteen
Older ladies' were most delightfully."-
entertained by Mrs. Chas. C. Wool
bridge at her home which was made
most attractive by the many June
roses. 1t was a unique idea of our
hostess to thus honor the gray hairs.
Every comfort. was provided. Tho
all were facing the sunset of life and
the years were many, hearts were
still young and warm with the joy
of meeting together. A party al
ways appeals to the feminine. and
the older women showed their pleas
ure keenly. Some were pioneers,
others were newcomers, but all
friends. A spicy poem by Mrs. Glen
DENIM and a poem by Ella Wheeler
Wilcox were read. One of the guests
had known the poetess years ago and
that gave added interest. Mrs. Wool
bridge read a short poem by friend
of Mrs. Clendennin's.
Some of the women gave remem-
brance of early days. Mrs. Babb de
scribed the first school she attended
and conditions. Several of the ladies'
said they had similar experiences.
Most delicious refreshments were
served. Mrs. Jeffery and Mrs Wit
tenmyer assisted the hostess. The
last course was a carnation to each
guest.
Mrs. Woodbridge states that this
is to be an annual event, and we hope
80. Some Of last year,s- guests have
passed on; the ranks are thinning
but youth hasn't all the attractions,
and Browning says:
"Grow old along with me.
1.-THE best is yet to be.
"The last of life. for which the
first was made
"Our lives are in His hand
who saith, "A while planned,
youth shines but half; trust God
See all nor be afraid"
Mrs. ID. C. r.
The guests were Mrs. Pleiman,
Mrs. Enyart, Mrs. Gallavan, Mrs.
Gerber. Mrs. Mast, Mrs. Green, Mrs.
Roberts. Mrs. Clendennin, Mrs.
