FIERY CROSS RLAzEp FORTH
Spectacular Climax As Finishing
Touch To The Fireworks


Touch To The Fireworks
Austin. August 27-The specta-
cular display Of fireworks which
brought the official program Of the
county fair to a close had an un-
expected climax In the form OF a
fiery cross, the Ku Klux Khan en-
blem, which was plainly visible by
the crowds in the grandstand. When
the last pyrotechnic exhibit had
been fired, and the last efnber had
died out, the huge cross blazed up.
1t was located across the road east
of the fair grounds. and it was one
of the larger symbols Of the klan.
such as has been fired here before.
Just what the occason Of the burn
ng cross was, is still a matter OF
doubt, unless 1t was that the. time
selected so that a large crowd would
witness the blazing emblem.

NOTED LECTURER DELIVERS
SPLENDID TALK ON BIRDS

Monday evening a most interesting
and delightful lecture was given at
the college auditorium by Charles
Bowman Hutchins, the famous natur-
alist. He told his audience many
startling things about birds and their
aid to mankind in killing insects both
foraging and disease bearing of the
earth. He made the statement that
man would never live to see the ex-
tinction of birds for the reason that
should the birds begin to decrease in
any amount as to make this likely,
the poisonous insects would soon
cause the extinction of man thru the
diseases they carry.
Mr.. Hutchins' limitations Of birds
songs were exquisite in their perfect
representations. Several times dur
ing the evening he put the birds
songs to mans music, filling the audit
orium with pleased applause each
time.
He drew several pictures of the
birds in their native haunts and
showed others to the audience which
he had already made, the pictures
giving proof Of his knowledge of bird
and wood lore.
EchuaPs suc HOSt pronounced eSiu-
ence as to the charm and interest of
his story was the absolute quiet and
attention Of two or three rows of
youngsters from five to twelve years
Of age in the front of the room. As
il reward for this good behavior, Mr..
Hutchins presented several of his
pictures to the youngsters.
Mr.. Hutchins is doing much for the
country in trying to make the people
realize what their natural resources
mean to them, and we hope that he
will hnd time to again return to
Gunnison for another lecture in the
near future.
The naturalist was introduced by
Dr.. Won David, distinguished doctor
Of medicine and Phd, who is just now
working In cooperation with the for
ct reserve rs asgistant to H. d. Coch-
ran, Of the Denver Office.

spring forth; SO the Lord God will
cause righteousness and praise to
spring forth before all the nations"

BACTERIAL ACTION RAPID
IF CANNING IS DELAYED

From Famers' Bulletin No. 1211s-
Many Of the bacteria which form
heat-reistance spores are found in TIE
soil and thus are quite likely to occur
upon the surface Of fruit and vcge-
tables. II these products stand for
some days or even hours after being
picked, certain bacteria will have .
chance to multiply which they did not
have while the fruit or Vegetables
were growing in the field, garden or
orchard When packed or piled to-
gether the fruits or vegetables are
very likely 70 heat in the center, even
II stored in . comparatively cool place.
Thus these bacteria will be supplied
with all the conditions that most fav-
or their rapid development-warmth,
moisture, darkness and an abundant
food supply. The result is rapid
growth and development Of several
new crops Of bacteria. Evidently then
our chances Of success in the effort
to kill all the bacteria and their spores
will be very poor, compared with what
they might have been if the perfectly
fresh fruits or vegetables had been
promptly canned.
To summarize the more important
considerations deducted from the bac-
teriology Of canning:
"a 1t is wise III not absolutely
necessarily to attain and preserve
some degree of vacuum within the
can or jar, !. e., there should be less
air pressure inside the jar or can than
on the outside of it, and the cover
should be difficult to loosen on account
of the extra pressure on the outside
of IL; or in the case of tin cans, the
ends should be somewhat drawn in
when cool. This partial vacuum Is
the result Of the jar or can being seal
ed while its contents are at the boil
ing point, or at least very hot; the
contraction of air and condensation of
steam in cooling are the causes Of q
lowered pressure within the sealed
space.
(2) Sufficient heat should be APP
piled to destroy these bacteria which
can grow in absence Of air, or at least
those which would find favorable OPP
portunity for growth in the canned
food, under the conditions of storage
which It must Withstand. The degree
Of heat is likely also to destroy many,
but perhaps not all, the spores Of
"air loving" bacteria
