Tho boys of tho local high school
held a meeting yesterday and after
considering for some time tho merits
of track and base ball as spring ath
letics decided in favor of track. Their
experience last year when they de
cided in favor of baseball and then did
not get to play a game, was tho thing
that helped in getting them to decide
this year for track. , Last year they
found that practically no other
schools had baso ball teams and then
the weather was against baso ball.
In showing the rapid changes be
ing made in our Ideas Ira Baro told

merman went out into the country
and opened up tho throttle. When the
lllcr got to going at the rato of fifteen
miles an hour Mr. Bare says he shout
ed to Mr. Timmormnn that he wasn't
in a hurry to get anywhere and that ho
would feel safer if it didn't go so fast.
Since that ho has ridden on country
roads at express train rates and thor
oughly enjoyed It.

The iron was won by Mrs. Beet", no address given. Pleaso call for
the Iron. Here is tho best answer:
"You can sell for less than cost only ono way; you buy from the
manufacturer and this cuts out the wholesaler's profit, which you can
givo to your customers."
Tills is very correct, as we aro fixture wholesalers and can give
you a larger discount on lighting fixtures than wo would receive If wo
bought from jobbers.
Let us flguro your electrical requirements; If you want anything
special wo can mako it from your designs. "Our quality tho best for

High Commissioner '
Praises Near East Relief
Rear Adm'l Bristol
Constantino
ple : Everybody
seems to have
a good word to
say for tho
wonderful
work being
done by the
more than COO
American men
and women
workers of tho
Near East Ro
llof. In a pub
lic ad dross,
Rear Admiral
Mark L. Bristol, U. S. Navy, High
Commissioner to Turkey, who has
charge of all American Interests in
tho Near East, went on record
whole-henrtedly In support of tho
American relief organization.
"If I have been able to encour
age tho workers of tho Near East
Relief or givo them assistance In
any way," tho Admiral said, "I feel
that I am more than repaid In
keeping with the success that has
attended the efforts of tho Near
East Relief Committee in this part
of tho world In tho past I hopo
the future gill bring you greater
success. It will always give mo
pleasure to render nny assistance
possible to the Commltt on no n
Whole;; to any of tho workers, nnd
toHho groat work of humanity that
tho committee represents."
When 189,000 Russian refugees
from.ithe Crimea arrived off Con
stantinople, 'Admiral Bristol imme
diately cabfeti the Near East Re
lief for help, and the Near East
Relief bakeries fed these refugees
nnd N. E. R. workers helped the
American sailors to get the sick to
hospitals.
Admiral Bristol Is Id Intimate
touch with all tho work being con
ducted by tho Near East Relief
and speaks from persohal knowl
edge of its accomplishments.
INVESTIGATOR INDORSES
NEAR EAST RELIEF
During the Pence Conference In Par
Is the American Commission to Nego
trato Peace, appreciating tho Impor
tance of accurate, first hand Informa
tion about tho Armenlnn sltuntlon, sent
Capt. Renjnniln Purges Moore of the
American Red Cross as iend of a special-
mission to study nnd report on
conditions. Cnptnln Moore's findings
as to the value of the work done by the
Near East Relief form pnrt of his offi
cial report.
"Armenians are sincerely grateful to
us," Captain .Moore states, "since It Is
no exaggeration to say thnt they would
have disappeared as n nation hnd It
not been for this splendid help given
them by the Near East Relief nnd 'he
American Food Administration. The
best thnt sympathetic Americans enn
do Is to continue and enlarge the pres
ent admirable work of the Near East
Relief."
ALFALFA AS A REFRIGERATOR
Planted Around Farm Houses It Has
Been Found to Reduce the Tem
perature Materially.
Refrigerators Indoors aro common
enough, but It took tho farmers In the
Southwest to devise one for outdoor
use.
A fanner who happened to plant n
largo field of alfalfa south of the
farmhouse noticed during the hot sum
mers that followed that his family
did not suffer from the heat as did the
neighbors. The thermometer showed a
temperature five to ten degrees in his
favor.
Someone suggested that It might bo
duo to the alfalfa, tried tho tempera
ture Just north of other alfalfa- fields
and found the same marked difference.
Now the fanners of thnt region are
planting alfalfa around their dwell
ings and enjoy summer temperatures
that make a trip to the seashore need
less, nccordlng to the Golden Age.
The cnuse of tho coolness of winds
passing over alfalfa fields is that tho
plant nbsorbs much moisture, the
evaporation of which reduces the tem
perature of tho air and lessens tho
summer heat In the adjoining land
over which It blows.
Tho suggestion now is for farmers
that wish to profit from tho presence
and tho board money of summer va
cationists to combine the profit and
utility of alfalfa with higher1 rates
from hot-wcathor hoarders attracted
by the coolness of tho ton-ncro refrig
erator nround the house.
Little by little men are boglnnlng
to learn how to utilize the means pro
vided by a good Creator for their com
fort and well-being.
