this WEEKS BUSINESS MEMS LUNCHEON
WAS MOST ENJOYABLE One OF SERIES

One of the most amusing and in
teresting luncheons of the business
mems series was held at the NJ. E.
church dining room Monday when
NJ. X. Kennedy acted as chairman
OF the committee on entertainment.
The luncheon was attended by sixty
four men and was served by the
Priscilla society.
No end of fun and excitement
was precipitated when a stranger
arose in the midst OF the party and
started babbling in broken Italian
about the talk just completed by
Mr.. Laythe of the U. s. Biological
Survey office in Denver on exter-
mination Of prairie dogs. He no
understan why Mester Laythe wanta
poison his dogs" which he UNDER
stood in street language to mean
feet" or course everyone laughed.
then the stranger raved and wanted
the chairman to put out everyone
who laughed at him. His antics
scared the company into silence for
= few seconds then ne proposed to
line up all the P.,scillas and re-
ward them with kiss on the brow
for re beautiful eats" Exit Pris-
cillas to the kitchen, About this
time several home town members
got excited and Messrs Dismukes
and Rart asked the chairman to
throw out the nut At this point
the 'wop" turned dutch" and after
some exciting explanations in Ger
man dialect he recited THE charge
OF the Light Brigade" almost back
wards already. and the joke began
TO dawn on all present. However.
to soOthe the worries OF all present
tho chairman had to explain the
row and introduce the capital fun
maker who was no other than Mr..
Devine. representative Of the Col
umbine MIX Company OF Denver
who happened to be in town and
was invited by the chairman to at
tend the luncheon. X

X. Wilson. who told the business
men about the proposed merger OF
the d. 4 r. G. railroad with the
Missouri Pacific. Mr.. Wilson ex-
planned how the merger with the
Missouri Pacific and Western

FOREST PROTECTION
WEEK--APRlL q to u

One-fourth of all National Forest
receipts Is spent on local roads and

Reserve last year forest receipts
amounted to $13.7O2.s2 which was
distributed among seven counties,
Rio Grande, Mineral. Conejos. Hins-
dale. LaPlata. saguache and San
Juan.>
What the protection and develop
ment Of the Rio Grande forest
means to the people OF these seven
counties Is realized when we con-
slider recently compiled statistics
show \ total of 1.5O0.000.000 board
