oLp EoLKs, PARTY.

Fully 500 people took part in Inc Old Folks party given yesterday to that worthy portion of our community. by the "Old Folks party committee" and the younger generation in our midst. The attempt had been made three diff ferent dates prior, but rain and mud had shown their cloven hoof and pre- vented. But Wednesday was as fine a day as is ever seen even in this land of sunshine and plenty. The start was made from Main street, Mesa, soon after nine o'clock a. m. The trans portation committee seated in the most comfortable rigs obtainable had gath cred up the old folks not provided with transportation and by Il o'clock about $50 people had assembled on the green, fiowery, now no longer desert. about six miles east of Mesa. There was happiness and good cheer in every countenance as the greetings were made, which by the way is ever mani fested by the aged portions of Gny community when efforts are made to make their lives happy. The party was just like one great family. every one seeming to desire the pleasure of his neighbor.

AT THE NORMAL.
for Commencement-An
 Alpha Entertainment.


 Preparations have already commence ed for the annual graduation exercises at the Normal. They will be elaborate this year and will occur several days earlier than usual. That fact being accounted for by reason of only one weeks vacation during the holidays the early termination of school days will not be regretted by either faculty or students.
 Commencement exercises proper will commence with the baccalaureate ser mon on Sunday evening June 4. On the evening of the 5th the inter society contest will occur. Tuesday will be class night and 1t is altogether prob able that on that evening the mem bers of the senior class will present a play. June Sth is commencement night and those in the graduation class who will participate on that evening will be Misses lone Greenleaf and Miss Ina McComas, chosen by the class. Miss Laverna Lossinc and Edgar Hendrix, selected by the faculty. On Friday evening will probably occur the annual reception to the graduation class by the Alumni association.
 The members of the Alpha society are making preparations to give an en- tertainment two weeks from tonight at the normal auditorium. It will con- sist of two farces. recitations, songs and drills. The Alpha's have always been very successful in their efforts of the kind and there is every reason to believe that the coming evening will be no exception to the rule.

TEMPE
A REMoNsTRANcE.
The Ministers of the Town Object to
 the Sunday Fire Drill.

As soon as it became known to the ministers of this place that the Tempe fire department proposed to give their contest on Sunday they met and at a Pastors association drew up the fol- lowing letter of remonstrance which was presented to the chief of the fire department:
 To the Chief and Members of the Tenn De Fire Co.,,
 Gentlemen: Whereas it has come to our knowledge that the company propose to give fire drill contest on the main street on Sunday afternoon and whereas we the pastors of the churches of this town, assembled as a Pastors association, are convinced that such a contest on the Lords day is not in keeping with the high purpose for which this company of useful men is organized, and also realizing that such contest on that day would tend to lower the high standard of morals for which we are jointly laboring. Therefore. we. representing the churches of the town respectfully re- quest that your esteemed body make selection of some other day.

Chief Finch called a special meeting of the department Wednesday evening and before the practice drill the at tention of the members was called to the subject and the question put to a vote. After some discussion it was un- animously decided to hold the contest as per the arranged program, 1t being the opinion of the members that it would be impossible to hold the contest on any other day through the inability of many of the members to be pres ent any other time except Sunday.

Farm Machinery and Labor.

A monograph by H. W., Quintance
on the influence of farm machinery on
production and labor makes it appear
that the area of land devoted TO the
crops in the production of which ma.
chinery has come to be generally used
has increased from 23.3 acres i'm 1880
to 81 acres per male worker in 1900
The general conclusion is reached that
the Introduction of agricultural ma
chinery during the twenty years from
1880 to 1900 increased the effectiveness
of human labor on the farm one-third
reduced the number of laborers pei
farm, increased the wages of labor
and shortened the length of the work
ing day on the farm.

FOR BEEF PRODUCTION.
Relative Economy of the Beef and
Dairy Types.

Dairy Types.
The relative economy for beef pro-
ductiOn of the beef and dairy types of
cattle is a question which is receiving
much attention at the present time.
The Iowa experiment station has re-
Gently reported the results of years
feeding test to determine this point.
summarizing them as follows:
Dairy type steers show consider
ably higher percentage of Offal and a
lower dressing percentage.
Dairy type steers carry higher per-
centage of fat ON internal organs,
thereby increasing the total weight of
cheap parts.
Beef type steers carry higher per-
centage of valuable cuts.
Beef type steers furnish heavier,
thicker cuts. They are more evenly and
neatly covered with outside fat, show
clearer white color in fat and bright
er red in the lean meat but there is
little difference in fineness of grain.
The low price paid for dairy steers
may be due partially to prejudice and
| to the greater expense of carrying and
selling the lower grade carcasses, but
it is chiefly due to an actual inferiority
in the carcasseS.
1t is neither profitable nor desirable
to feed steers of dairy type for beef
| purposes. They are unsatisfactory to
the consumer because they do not fur
nish thick and we'll marbled cuts; they
are unsatisfactory to the butcher be
cause they furnish low grade carcasses
which are difficult to dispose of, and
they are decidedly unsatisfactory tC
the feeder because they yield him little
or no profit, and both breeder and feed
er waste their time in producing sucf
a type of steer for beef purposes.

THE OLD ELM.

THE OLD ELM.
This tree has been standing here for
an unknown period. 1t is believed to have
existed before the settlement of Boston,
being full grown in 1922; exhibited marks
OF old age in 1892 and was nearly Destroy
ed by storm in 1892 Protected by an
iron inclosure in 1854
J. " c. SMITH, Mayor.
Soon after the falling Of the old elm
a young tree Of the same species was
planted in the center of the inclosure,
and today 1t has attained a large and
sturdy growth. Coming generations of
Bostonians may be familiar with a
second old elm on Boston Common, but
1t will always be the first old elm
which witnessed, very possibly, the
first settlement Of Puritan Boston in
1630.-Boston Budget.
