Colorado nre much elntod ovf r the success with which weather conditions have been met in their orchards this spring The telephone hns been instru mental in fighting iff thpse frosts the effects of which would undoubtedly havo been fatal to the crops bad rot extra precautions have been taken The story of how the vigilance of the fruit growers was rewarded reveals a new and interesting triumph of scien tific agriculture The instances in question are reported from Canon City in the ranch section of Colorado The fruit interests here are extensive and the annual crop is of great value It has loug been the cus tom to fiaht frost with smudge fires in the orchards When the temperature drops below fretzng point it is always necessary to retort to artificial means to prevent damage Accordingly the all important question with the fruit growers is the weather The Canon City telephone exchange was of great assistance to the rarchmen thiaypar Daily weather reports were given out to about 75 fruit growers and ieveral hundred iuquries were received everyday Ir nn others interested in the wenthpr predictions On Mjndny April 10h the Business Mens Association of Canon City pre pared a list of 200 citzens to assist in the work of safeguarding the fruii crop The volunteers were scattered over the various orchards and an orgpnzcd sys tem of pro potion was put in operatior Each mans telephone numt er wns se cured so that he might be called upon vhen needed Two watchmen were np poit ted one to take up his position on ie north side of the city and the other at the southern end These mpu were to keep tab on the temperature during the night and report each hour to the uigbt operator at the telephone ex change v The fruit growers had agreed that a soon as the temperature dropped to 29 degrees the alarm to smudge would be given The smudge alarm in the or chaids differ very little from an alarm of- fire in the city The moment the word has passnd over the wires men are seen hurrying about to and from their sations and soon the fires are lighted in all the ranches In some places crude oil is used for the fires Smudging in this section has worked wonders The temperature of the orchards in some instances has shown a raise of from 8 to 12 degrees and the crops have been saved from destruction So it was that though three heavy frosts were recorded the fruit was not frozen In the fruit districts of Grand Junc tion and Montrose in the same state similar conditions prevailed Special weather reports were received from the government and at once transmitted to the fruit growers It is little wonder that the precentage of telephone development has reached a high figure in the belt The instru ment has proved itself of incalculable value to the growers and any who failed to provide themselves with telephone facilities were iu a sorry fix when the late spring frosts set in Jt is only one of the many instances where the tele phone has come to the rescue of the farmer The phone service in this section was furnished by the Colorado i Telephone Company which like all other lines of the Bell system uses the telephones and apparatus of the West ern Electric Company Killed Near Billings A message was received yesterday afternoon from Billings Mont an nouncing the tragic death of Mr and Mrs John Willmau who left Lincoln about a month ago for the beet fields near that place They were killed by a Northern Pacific train but no details of the accident were conveyed by the dispatch Mr and Mrs Willman were well known in Lincoln They owned property at 136 C street In a letter written to J J Stroh a few days ago Mr Willman said that he was not pleased with the beet field country in Montana and would probably return to Lincoln in a few months The following left Lincoln at 145 this morning to make arrangements for the funeral George J Stroh John Ditter Henry Knapp Conrad Rothe George Lenhardt Henry Hopp and Jacob Willman Lincoln Journal COURT HOUSE NEWS COUNTY COURT

year by states and organ zations lo the growers producing the best grains The trophies have a money value of from 8900 to 82000 but their value to a grower is far more that the mere money No grower has won a trophy at grain expositions who could not get more than double price for his grains espe cially c rn from those who are con stantly seeking better seed TheNational Corn Exposition offered three trophies last year the Indiana trophy for corn the Domingues trophy for corn judging and the Western Grain Growers trophy for oats When the Exposi ion opens in Omaha December 8th will offer a trophy for wheat i olorado offers one for oats and Wisconsin a barley trophy All are remarkable pieces of the silversmiths art Besides these the Robinson trophy is offered for Nebraska counties and

bowed down with woe to see her laid beneath the mold be lieve you ought to go and ao you ask a half day off and you may have the same alas that grannies always die when theres a ball game Last spring if I remember right three grandmas died for you and you bewailed the pass ing then of souls so kind and true and then another grandma died a tall and stately dame the day they buried her there was a fourteen inning game And when the balmy breeze of June among the willows sighed another grandma closed her eyes and crossed the Great Divide they laid her to rest beside the churchyard wall the day we lammed the stuffing from the rubes from Minnepaul Go forth my son and mourn your deid and shed the scald ing tear and lay a simple wreath upon your eighteenth grandmas bier while you perform this solemn task Ill to the grandstand go and watch our pennant winning team make soup bones of the foe alt Mason Woman Compelled Htm No living man of this age ever delib erately chose to adopt trousers He was forced into them and all other eccentricities ot dress by woman In the very earliest sartorial experience of every man he is swathed in a queer bun dle of incoherent bandage by r woman Later she puts him into cute little dress es so that the neighbors cant tell him from his little sister Still later she cuts off his curls and puts him into knicker bockers and he puts on long pants when she gives the word and not before This is all that man ever had to do with wearing trousers Woman forced him into them in the first -place and now he is afraid to wear anything else for fear of making a sensation Ex John Cashen Auctioneer Indianola Nebr Dates booked at Mc Cook National bank JAPANESE CADETS Military School Exercises Include Hana to Hand Conflict In the Japanese military school where I

through the Latin per sona began by meaning an actors mask with its mouthpiece Then it meant the character represented by the player dramatis personal Then It came to mean the part or character one sustains in real life and so the persona eecleslne the man who rep resented the church became known as a person in a special sense and was eventually spelled as parson On the other hand person faded
