The current number of Collier’s contains a human interest story regarding the great national Mennonite sanitarium at LaJunta, Colo., together with an interview by one of its representatives with the manager, Mr. J. F. Brunk. The story relates the many experiences that the Rev. Brunk had in getting his sanitarium established and tells of the good work that he is doing in taking care of consumptives, not only of the Mennonite denomination, but of all other denominations. The story is of peculiar interest to Adams county people at the present time owing to the fact that a number df Adams county people are investing in irrigated land in the Arkansas valley, contiguous to LaJunta. The eighty acres of this land recently purchased by Mr. Robert A. Perkins of this city is within three miles of this big sanitarium. o Irvin Ray, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Ray, of Blue Creek township, will be married Sunday at noon to Miss Nellie Ireland of Mercer county, Ohio.
