Nature Makes Wooden Gorilla.
A. G. Adama was over near Hilt the
other day and in the timber he secured
a freak of nature which has attracted a
great deal of attention. It is the trunk
of a tree cut about 4 feet from the
ground, looking for all the world like a
dwarf gorilla. It has knots for eyes and
nose and gnarled limbs for legs and
arms. Around its middle runs a small
limb, making a perfect belt from the
hase of what would be the spine. In the
back runs another limb, making a full
fledged tail and completing the likeness
to the gorilla. -"Ashland Tidings.

in government,' the president con

display several rich costumes, as well
ao create laughter.
The Trixie Friganza show is nota

attained prominence in vaudeville.

EUROPEAN CROPS SLUMP
COLD DURING APRIL SAID TO
HAVE HURT GRAIN.
Winter Acreage Declared to Be
About 2.000,000 Below That
of Last Year.
WASHINGTON. May 12. Growth of
winter grain in Europe has been ar
rested by unseasonable cold during
April and prospects of crops in gen
eral are less encouraging than the
previous month, Alfred P. Eebbis,
special representative of the com
merce department at Rome, cabled
the department today. Reports as
to growing crops in France and Ger
many, he said, were particularly bad.
European winter grain acreage, he
continued, omitting Austria, England
and Ireland, shows a decline of at
least 2,000,000 acres in wheat seed
ings as compared with last year, the
decline, however, being about offset
by larger rye sowings.
The area in barley, he declared,
was substantially the same as last
year, losses In Bulgaria and France
being offset by gaina in Rumania
amounting to 96,000 acres. Prospects to the government for the dlscon
for European cereal yields, he added, inuance of six consulates in this
are no better than fair, with a grow
ing conviction that even under more
favorable conditions from now on the
wheat harvest will fall short of last
season's yield.
Six Consulates Opposed.
SAN ANTONIO, May 12. At a con
ference between the five consuls
general of Mexico, stationed in the
United States, and t General Aaron
Saenze,. sub-secretary of foreign rela
tions in the cabinet of President
Obregon of Mexico, it was decided
that recommendations would be made
country. The consulate at Juneau.
also, would be discontinued.
