FAME OF CAMP SITE
SPREADS TO DENVER

Another testimony to the value of
Roosevelt field, Glen Miller park, as a
camping ground for tourists, is being
quoted by Ed Hollarn, city park SUI
perintendent.
c. A. Lewis, of Denver, according
TO Mr.. Hollarn, claims that he has
made the trip from Denver to. New
York twice and by two different
routes. There is no place along
either route where a tourist has so
good.an opportunity for camping" Mr..
Lewis is quoted as saying.
The fame of the free camping
ground has spread to Wichita, Kans.
Superintendent Hollarn has received
a letter from the mayor of that place
asking for information on how to
maintain such free service with
medical attendance, all free of charge.
Mr.. Hollarn has written telling that
the free medical service comes from
the sanitorium in the park, and that
the financing of the advertising boards
and circulars resulted through the
generosity of the local Rotary club.

MICHIGAN GROWERS
SECURE Low RATES

LANSING, Mich, June 30.-Reduced
water freight rates for fresh fruit,
secured through the efforts of the fruit
growers of Michigan, will result in
immense savings to fruit growers OF
that state, enabling much fruit to be
wise be left to rot on the farms. Rates
on third, quarter, and half bushels
we're cut in half, making a saving OF
10 cents per basket, while rates on
all size packages of apples, berries
currants, cherries, grapes and celery
were reduced Is to Is per cent. These
reductions, it is said, will make ii
possible to relieve the fruit shortage
in parts of the country that were
caught by late frosts.

1t Is singular thing that Congress should snend

away on this measure and then pass a bill that ;s
denounced by leaders of the party that is respon-
sible for it.
1t is also~significant, that Senate leaders have

not likely to last more than few months. when
congress must again take up the weary grind Of
taxation legislation
The Republicans have had control OF both bran
cfes OF Congress by tremendous majority We,
when they themselves feel dissatisfied with their
own product, it indicates singular lack of leader
ship. The tax bill looks more like the work Of
politicians than of business men, 1t appears like
the product Of people whose first concern is their
own personal election and who will NOT worl,
i7itedly OF consider the interests Of the country
