New York, Jan. 30.-The Play
ground and Recreation Association of
America has just completed its an
nual stock-taking. Blanks to be filled
out to give an adequate idea Of recre-
alton activities were sent to every
community of 5000 or over in the
United States and Canada and to
every city under 5000 which had in
dicated to the association that some
effort toward public recreation had
been made. Ten hundred and fifty cit
les responded and the result is COM
prehensive survey of recreation in
America today.
Six hundred and forty-two cities re-
port themselves in various stages of
activity. Of these, 342 have regu-
lar play leaders in their Fairgrounds
and recreation centers, 22 have vol
unteer leaders and SO no play lead
ers. One hundred and forty-nine
school Fairgrounds, often supervised
by public school teachers at recess
or after school, are reported. Seven
ty cities that never before had play
grounds have taken initial steps,
through appointing recreation sec
retary, forming an association or
commission, securing land on bond is
sues or requesting appropriations. In
addition, thirty-one other cities are
working to establish play centers.
The Playground and Recreation AS
sociation of America stands for play
leadership in playground and recre-
atioh centers. Therefore the 342 cit
les reporting regular paid leadership
are the primary interest in the AS
sociation Year Book. Many commu-
mites report Fairgrounds one year
and none the next. Almost invari-
ably the explanation is, "No play
leadership" So the work rises and
falls with changing fortune, until it
is at last established on the right ba-
sis with competent leadership. Never
has a city so started on its recrea-
tion career fallen back. The associ-
alton believes in municipal support of
recreation. Therefore the 342 cities

FRUIT GROWERS CONVENTION
AT THE UNIVERSITY FARM

The farmers themselves have JOINED
the 'back to the farm" movement, fol
now the California State Fruit Grow.
ers' Association has decided not to &C
to town for its next annual conven.
tion, but to meet at the University
Farm at Davis, under the auspices OF
the State Commission of Horticulture
and the Yolo County Board of Trade
Instead of the past practice of hold
ing formal meetings for three days,
the fruit growers of the state will
spend the whole first week of June
at their convention. 1t is believed
this new plan will bring together a
larger gathering of fruit growers than
has been customary, and that it will
prove of great interest and value to
all interested in any phase of fruit
culture.
Every morning from June l to 6
there will be lectures upon some of
the most important aspects of the pro-
duction and marketing OF fruit. There
will be several simultaneous lectures.
so that members may choose between
such subjects as the soil and its treat
ment, marketing, irrigation, the labor
question, protection against pests and
injuries, etc.
The afternoons will be devoted to
conferences or meetings for the discus
sion of the growing of special crops
problems of particular interest, or
gatherings of organizations of any
sort connected with fruit growing.
Any number of these conferences may
be going on at the same time.
The evenings will be devoted to pop
ular lectures on those subjects of the
greatest general interest and import
ance, according to the plan followed
in previous conventions. For these
various meetings some of the most
prominent men connected with fruit
growing and marketing are to be Sc
cured from all over the country, in ad-
dition to local men.
A special feature of the convention
will be a series of conferences upon
subjects of interest to special groups
Of fruit raisers and farmers. Several
of these conferences will be in session
at one time, in order that everyone
may find some subject in which he is
vitally interested. The conferences
will be led by some prominent grower
or specialist or by some member of
the State Horticultural Commission or
of the agricultural staff of the Uni
versity.

Cottonwood, N. D., Jan. 30.-A new
and exciting sport has appeared in
this part of the country this winter
in the form of automobile racing on
the ice. Arrangements were complet'

folks for forty years." said DR.. Hor-
ton today. "The trouble with most
of them is that they exist too fast
They don't live. In these days we
don't really eat. We swallow predi-
gested foods. We drink tea, coffee
and other stimulants in ever-increas-
ing quantities. We exist in overhead
ed, steam-heated atmospheres. We
spend too much time in stuffy, un-
ventilated street cars and not enough
in the open air. Our children skate
in indoor Kinks; our men play pool
and poker in smoke filled rooms; our
women play bridge in close drawing
rooms. If there was more walking to
school by children, walking at least
part of the way to office by men, and
walking to market by the women, we
would all be better off. This arti-
ficiality is telling on US. Instead of
controlling our muscles and nerves, our
muscles and nerves control US.
"Such stimulants at coffee and tea
contain ingredients, such as tannin,
which close the glands which contain
the fluids of life. These ingredients
are contained in white and black pep
per as well as in tea and coffee. Red
pepper, however, has the opposite eff
feet. 1t opens the glands and keeps
the life fluids racing within us. In ad-
dition, it creates a thirst for water,
which, by the way, is about as near
the waters of youth or the elixir
of life as has been found. 1t is al
most impossible for anyone to drink

be flushed too often. Drink more wa
ter and eat less food, even of the right
kind, and you'll see how much better

Sheridan Tells
Of Eastern Sport
BY Hal Sheridan.
Written for the United PreSs)

! (Written for the United PreSS)
New York, Jan. 29.-Without vio-
lating any condolences or seeming to
assume too much, it may be stated
that the opinion prevails that the bcs-
mess of fighter is to fight. But as
the fighting must be done by the fight
ers and not by those having the opin-
ions, there is wide gulf between the
ory and practice in so far as few
young gentlemen now basking in the
limelight as champions are concerned.
Willie Ritchie has had everything
but Group and whooping cough since
he was matched to fight Harlem Tom
my Murphy. Finally the match was
called off entirely. He has had just
one 2O-round fight since he took the
title from Ad Wolgast. That was
with Joe Rivers, and Richie won. He
took the measure of Leach Cross in
ten-round bout in New York, but
for the most part Willie has been
conspicuous, so far as the ring was
concerned, by his absence. Some time
ago something was said about the eX-
isting crop of "cheese champions"
Every day the odor gets worse. Some
body will have to invent a new kind
of smelly cheese so that creditable
comparison can be drawn. Johnny
Kilbane has stalled around so long
that people have forgotten who the
featherweight champion is. He is ap-
parently as careful about his selec-
ton of matches as an old lady p'ck-
ing out eggs under Suspicion.
Gunboat Smith, who disposed of Ar
thur Pelky recently, has beer doing
considerable fighting, but who ever
thought of Smith as champion, out
side of Smith or his manager, with
out more or less of giggle.
Poor old Tommy Murphy has been
chasing the title of lightweight cham
pion for years. Richie could prob
ably whip him, but what with sprained
ankles and other little conveniences
he is not taking any chances. He
figures that Murphy is an
proposition, especially in a
long fight, and that if he licked the
Harlem boy he wouldn't get lots of
credit, while at the same time he
would look extremely foolish if Tom
my slipped one over on him. At all
events Richie isn't breaking his neck
to get into a fight, thus digging out
a place for himself among the recent
champions who have developed the
vaudeville habit and an aversion to
donning the gloves for a real encoun-
ter.

Work animals may be largely protect
ed from the pest by means OF cover
ings. One type found very elective
and inexpensive during an outbreak
OF the pest in Texas consisted Of a
blanket made Of double thickness OF
burlap so arranged as completely to
cover the back. sides. and neck of the
animal. The legs are then covered
by means Of old trousers slipped on
over the feet and tied over the back.
Leather nets or strips OF leather at
tached to the bricIe aid in keeping the
flies from the head The ordinary fly
net has proven Of little value a. II
only tends to displace the flies tenn
porariIy.
The thorough screening of all win
dovs and doors of stables has been
found successful and desirable. When
barns are screened care should be
taken to brush the flies from the ami.
mails when they are about to enter by
means OF nets over the doorway, or
with sacks. Little can be done to
protect range stock from the flies. On
hog farms freshly plowed trench OF
fers considerable protection to swine.
The sides of the trenches may be
smeared with petroleum which 10
rubbed OF on the animals and acts az
q repellant.
Destruction Of Immature Stages and
Prevention Of Breeding.
Since straw stacks have been found
to be the principal breeding places
OF the stable fly in the grain belt the
proper care of the straw is by far
the most important step in control.
The straw should be stacked more
carefully than Is ordinarily done when
1t IL desired to keep it for protection
and food for live stock. This may be
accomplished by making the sides of
the stack nearly vertical and rounding
1t up on top, in order the better to
shed the rain.
So far as is possible, all straw which
Is not required for winter food for
stock should be disposed of immediate
ly by burning or by scattering it over
the land soon after thrashing, and
subsequently blowing it under, OF
by burning the stack. The blowing
under of the straw is the most advis-
able method Of procedure, as by this
practise large amounts OF humus are
added to the soil. Dat straw is most
generally used for feeding purposes,
and it is this straw which forms the
principal breeding grounds for flies.
1t is. therefore, important that all the
oat straw needed for seed purposes or
bedding be baled and stored under
cover, and that the remainder be
promptly burned or scattered. All
straw stacks not consumed by stock
during the winter should be promptly
disposed of in the early spring, as
these stacks furnish flies continuously
during the spring and summer.

DAMPNESS IN POULTRY HOUSE
Modern Building Usually Depends
Upon Ventilation to Prevent II From
Becoming Uncomfortable.

(By A. c. SMITH. Minnesota Experiment
Station)
A prolonged period of unusually
damp weather is always a trying ex.
perience for poultrymen
The modern poultry house usually
depends upon ventilation to prevent 1t
from becoming uncomfortable from ex.
cessive humidity, which is an exceed.
ingly difficult thing to do during a
prolonged period Of damp weather.
Litter is usually of such material that
1T absorbs water readily and at such
times as mentioned above becomes in.
tolerably damp. Because of the fowls
close and constant contact, damp lit
ter causes more colds and cases OF
roup than extremely low temperatures,
and is on that account most damaging
to the health of the fowls, which can
endure dirty litter almost to the point
of filthiness with less harmful effect
Remove the damp litter at once,
even though it has just been put in.
No litter at all would be better than
the damp litter. Occasionally one
must e.-~ect to fne the weather
against sim. Even pultrymen can
not expect to find it ALI sunshine Make
the best of It and supply new and dry
litter az trifiing cost, rather than
sustain big losses in fowls or egg pro-
duction, probably both.
