the fact that all my own children

"My heart bleeds at the sight of
these little fellows, long babies,
short babies, fat babies, skinny
babies, all Of them pretty They

Some of their mothers were bad.

FRIDAY APRIL 9. 1920
Church Survey Follows
Interchurch Meeting

In many ways the conference
held by men representing the Inter-
church movement in Colorado as
well as in the nation, was illumi-
mating, as the meaning of the term
has been bit hazy in the minds
of most folks.
For instance, taking for granted
that there are very few people who
would prefer to live in town
without churches, the plan is to
give them an opportunity to help
support this movement, even
though they belong to no church.
A part of the program is to make
the world see the need of the
church.
The day of opportunity to
Christianize the world is now, since
there has been such a free mingl-
ing of peoples in the camps of war.
Twenty-Five years ago the time was
ripe to make Japan a Christian
nation, but the time passed then,
and now the task would be tre-
mendous one.
The movement is a federation
or churches-not super church,
or another denomination. 1t is
back of many projects to build
schools and hospitals, for it is said
that 5000 people a day are turned
away from Protestant hospitals
1t also extends into foreign mis-
sionary work. One of the speakers
said that only one tenth of the
world is Christian There are as
many people in China who have
never heard of the Bible as there
are letters in $50 Bibles.
Committees were appointed by
each of the three Protestant
churches as follows: Presbyterian,
Mesdames S. M. Smith, W. A.
Funk, q. 1. Spessard and j. R.
sutherland; Methodist. Mesdames
f. A. Donithorne, Ed Evans, H.
o. Allen, and George Behr; Epis-
copal, Mesdames s. l.. Burger, M
O. Allen and w. B KeIso. The
survey will begin in a few days.
Some excellent speakers pre-
sented the movement in its vari-
Gus phases to four audiences Tues
day and Tuesday evening SO that
those who attended are well able
to present the matter of the sur
vey in an intelligent way.

Mining Mention From
Georgetown District

Mitchell and Edwards on the
Dunkirk continue sinking. Their
ore, while bunchy, turns out good
tonnage, and is worth nearly $40O
per ton in silver and lead.
M. A. CLARK has taken con-
tract to drive the cross-cut from
the Scepter to the Astor vein,
distance of about 200 feet. When
completed, it is expected ore will be
found such as made the mine
famous'in the early days.
Regular shipments are being
made from the Waldorf properties
in East Argentine. Stopping is
under way on large body of ore
in the Tobin. while the Common
wealth level is being pushed ahead
to get into Kitty Owsley ground,
in which large streaks of lead zinc
ore are exposed.
The Mono Mine company, which
is carrying on operations on the
Griffith, have finished their dead
work, and are now developing
virgin ground which looks very
promising. This mine has large
production to its credit, and with
the showing now being made
should soon be heavy shipper.
The concentrating plant at the
portal of the Georgetown tunnel
will probably be put into opera

Norman Ross, Strong Exponent Of the Crawl

Usually when one thinks of a

something which is slow moving,

they are splashing along with the

FINDS PRICES
 ARE VERY HIGH THROUGH EUROPE

The following letter has been re- ceived from the Rev. Sherwood Eddy of the United Church who has been in Europe doing missionary work for the Y. M. c. A.:
 'I visited the worst slums and saw sights that stabbed me to the the heart. Whole families were herded in stif1ing little rooms reeking with vermin and contagion. In the first home, we found the mother in bed with consumption. To my dying day shall not forget the picture of the soul looking out from that face. Liv- ing in a dark hole of a cellar, the
 father had four times fallen down the slippery stairs, and on the fourth fall had died. The eldest son had been killed in the war, and the lit tie boy had died of influenza and un- der-nourishment The mother was in
 bed, and the five children were now
 living in two small rooms. Their sole support was that of the eldest daughter, who, weakened by tuber- culosis, was working eleven hours a day on her feet in a mill. Her earn ings for the whole family of five were 360 marks, or less than $10 a month "One result of underfeeding and
 hunger has been the dangerous in-
 crease of crime. Berlin's crime in- creased under the munger fourfold 1 and in the poorer quarters eightfold "I believe that Germany is at the beginning of a crucifixion period ot
