west Wants Representation.

Pasadena, Cal, June lS.-StrOng eff
forts win be made by polo organiza-
tions of the west to gain representation
on the American team which will play
in England next year.
Officers Of the Pasadena Polo club
asserted today that the selection of this
years team was based on the assump.
tion that New York is the whole of the
United States. At least two western
players, they believe, could have won
places on the team had opportunity
been given.
Unless concessions are made to west
ern polo players next year, it is prob
able that an all.star western team will
be organized and a challenge issued
TO the New York players to play at
the Panama Pacific exposition. As pos.
sible members OF such team, DR.. z. T.
Malaby, secretary of the Pasadena Polo
club, today suggested Dillingham; of
Honolulu, Driscoll Of San Francisco o
and Tom and Reggie Weiss Of Pasa.
dena. II is conceded, however, that
there are at least half a dozen other
western players who might prove SUI
perior 10 one or more Of these men.

MOTOR NOTES.

Probably them pregnant and most
unfounded topic among motorists today
is the supposed catastrophe of losing
gasoline as a motor ear fuel.
Wherever they meet the one live topic
is the practicability of benzol, alcohol,
condensed natural gas or other mediums
as gasoline substitute.
Apparently the motorst seems to be
drcading that the petroleum from which
gasoline is produced, will soon give out.
That their fears are all unfounded is
evident by the increased amount of
gasoline being produced from petroleum
and the increased mileage being secured
per gallon.
According to an investigation by
Motor, there are 1,700000,000 gallons
of automobile gas refined each year
and only 100000 motor ears to use it.
Chemists employed by large gasoline
refiners tell The f. b. Stearns Company,
Cleveland, o., makers Of Stearns- Knight
ears, that they are doubling the gasoline
production by improved refining
methods, which have replaced the waste
full ways Of a few years ago.
Besides, motor car companies are now
adopting methods by which The +. b.
Stearns Company perfected every part
so infinitely and scientifically that every
possible ounce of power is secured from
a gallon of gas.
With the increased production of gas
oline and steadily increasing mileage
the motOrist need fear no immediate
loss of fuel.

AMERICAN POLO TEAM SAID
NOT TO BE REPRESENTATIVE

New York, June lS.-On the theory
that the American polo team which lost
the international cup to the British
challengers at Meadowbrook this week
was not truly representative of the best
America can produce, it was suggested
here today that the Polo association
should challenge for match before
January l next, the time limit, and
that the American team be selected
through series of elimination games
to be played in San Francisco during
the 1915 exposition, in which teams
representing every club in the country
should compete.
The statement of Secretary W. A.
Hazard of the American Polo associa.
tion that there were no players of any
class in the west was generally criti.
cised, and the sentiment was expressed
in many quarters that the entire eoun-
try should be given a chance to make
the team which is to try to bring back
the cup

PENTENTARY
SHORT Of HELP
Warden Taleott Tells Bis
marck Commercial Club
Of Labor Shortage.

Bismarck, n. D., Jan. 1.-THE
North Dakota p~enitentiary is short of
men.
That fact was brought out, at a
meeting Of the Bismarck Commercial
club when Warden Frank Talcott,
responding to a request for informa-
ton concerning the possibility of using
convict labor in the construction OF
good roads. replied that every man
about the prison was now being en-
ployed, and that there was room for
more.
THE Irvine plant, brick yard, farm
ing operations, coupled with the de-
tail work about the institution and
the janitor work at the state capitol,
requires every man we have In the
institution. and we are short handed
at that" said Warden Talcott.
The shortage of labor in the state
p~enitentiary may be made up by a
contract with the federal government
which would provide for the a Of
a number Of federal prisoners. Such
contracts are entered into by several
states. and, in view of the fact that
the accommodating at the Flickertall
institution are now being used, such
contract may be made with this state.
Should the institution reach a point
where there is a surplus Of labor, an
experiment in the use Of convicts In
state road building may be made. The
first road on which such work would
be done is between Bismarck and the
D~enitentiary.

COUNTY TO
retain ". BURNS
Better Farming Agent Civ
en- Hearty Support by
Local Association

New Rockford, n. D., Jan. Ia
Financial support for the Eddy Coun-
ty Better Farming association will be
forthcoming during the coming year,
and subscribers to the fund, who r
in arrears, have pledged themselves
to make up such deficits as may exist.
This step was taken at a meeting
of the association held in New Rock
ford, when the whole situation was
carefully considered.
The association also voted unani-
mously for the retention here of w.
Fl. Burns as the county agent. He
has done good work during the two
years the association has been organ
lied. and full approval was given by
the association members.
That Eddy county is in a position
to realize much from the good farm
ing work, is the general sentiment OF
the members of the association. They
received reports from every section
OF the county which clearly indicated
that the movement has been success
full i'll bringing about changes in farm
ing methods. and during the coming
year 1t is confidently believed that
even better results will be obtained.
Heretofore business men have been
obliged to bear a great deal Of the
burden in connection with financing
the movement, but during the coming
the farmers themselves will take
an active part in the financial feature.
During the coming year corn, ALI
alta and hog raising will be featured
by the farmers of the county, and
those three lines will be promoted
industriously by the better farming
forces.
