CITY SUPERINTENDENT SPEAKS
Mrs Bradford Urges Understanding At
tention of Parents to Report Cards.

BY the alchemy of human interest
Mrs. Mary D. Bradford converted the
seemingly impossible dry subject of
g Report Cards into lively and in
teresting one in her talk before the
Deming school Parent Teacher assoeia-
ton Thursday afternoon.
She contended that the report card
is the parent IS index to an understand
ing of the child IS school life, the most
important period of his existence.
The child IS success in school, she said,
is dependent upon his effort. To gauge
his effort one must be conversant with
his attendance, his health, his conduct
and his resultant accomplishments.
Attendance, health, conduct and eff
fort are inter-dependent," said the
speaker.
Mrs. Bradford emphasized the neces-
sity of the work in the public schools
that result in pupil having a respect
for the rights and feelings of others
and especially their obligations to their
parents and the school and she asked
the cooperation of the parents in MAX
ing a good citizen OF each child. The
entertainment committee consisting of
the Mines. Tillotson, Stensen, Morenus
and Stratton served refreshments.

LITTLE LOST SISTER AT THE
RHODE OPERA HOUSE SUNDAY.
Mot Mnvial

The presenting of "Little Lost Sis
ter" clean play, widely endorsed
by investigators, improvement leagues,
and anti-vice societies, has been some
what hampered through natural confu-
sion with the sensational offerings of
certain producers who portrayed vice,
vicious dens and vicious men and wom-
en-, in order to edo" the most sensa-
tional thing ever.
But the efforts of the girl investiga-
tor Virginia Brooks) were not misun-
derstood, for almost with the opening
performance of the play at Chicago, a
perfect deluge Of endorsements began
to flow in to her.
"Little Lost Sister," is not grim,
offensive portrayal of vice, but sim
cere story, pointing the evils of the
underworld and the ways to be avoid
ed, showing seemingly innocent pit
falls, which too often prove so dan
gerous. In this way it is doing a
world of good. advdw

AN UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL
Jeffrey Trucks Given Praise by Ger
man Soldier Who Writes to Friends.

Jeffrey Trucks Given Praise by Ger
man Soldier Who Writes to Friends.
The publicity man of the Thomas B.
Jeffrey company has an excellent story
coming. Some time ago the Jeffrey
company made lot of trucks for the
use of the Allies in the war in Europe.
It was of course supposed that they
were to be used by Allies only, but a
lot of things may happen in war time.
A Kenosha German has just received
letter from one of his friends serv-
ing in the German army. He sends a
message to Kenosha "Just tell the
Jeffrey men that their trucks are all
right. We are using lot of them
now." The German soldier fails to
tell Of the big fights which took place
when they came into possession of
these Kenosha made trucks 1t should
prove excellent advertising for the
Kenosha company. The Jeffrey truck
will stand up just as well with Ger
man flag flying over it as with an
English or French banner and Ger
many after the war is over will have
learned where to buy the best posi-
BILE trucks made in America or any
where else.

matters at the alumni dinner Of

Mr.. Taft's view was in agre -

expressed the opinion that the
regulatory power of the Govern

AT first" said Mr.. Taft, the
railroads thought they were tle
whole thing. They violated the
law, did things they should rot
do, defed the people as they cid
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission during the early part OF

everybody else will find, that no.
body can defy the people on
questions Of jusrice.
Il agree with President Eli III

TOMATO CROP
New Yorker Gets 80 Tons
of Tomatoes an Acre
From Fertilized Soil

Why take on the worries and
uncertainties of Wall street and
frenzied finance when common
place, blushiug, luscious toma
toes bring wealth, happiness and
independence at low cost?
That's the profitable philos-
ophy of Frank Cock bourne, Of
Chautauqua county, New York,
Cornell graduate, soil lover and
record tomato grower. Several
years ago Cockbourne gave up an
envia bic place in the bustling
commercial world and bought a
small kingdom of his own-just
80 acres, Cockbuurne loved to-
matoes aud he knew that millions
of palates were just like his. So
he set about to make Il fortune
out of them. He is on the way
right now.
He has succeeded in raising 80
tons of tomatoes from an acre of
his land. He maintains that he
is going to boost the record every
| year.
The New York state specialist
came to his task pretty well Dual
itied. He is Il soil and produce
expert, graduate from the ag,
ricultural college of his univer,
city. For years he was employed
by large eastern dairy company
dispensing his knowledge t,
farmers who SHE'D clear of science
when applied to teasing more
money from the soil in the shap,
of better and more crops.
The muck on which the RECORD
crops are grown did not seen
worthy of consideration at first
But Cockbourne actually fed tn,
: soil. He helped starving nature
: before setting the tomatoes h
, applied 900 pounds of fertilize
8 and later scattered 900 pound
, more about the tomato plants a
q the tine Of setting. 0eckbourn
:, has had similar success in rails
I. ing other crops lie declare
that scientific fertilization is tn
tsecret of his record yields.
