The retirement of Mrs. VIM. Bode-
bender from the presidency of the
Women's Progressive Union Of Cow
ington marks the full period for
which that Office may be held, and
is not due to any decline in he-' in
terest in civic affairs Of the town.
Aside from this work. that Mrs.
Bodebender has outlined for the COM
ing year will occupy her time SO
closely as to leave little to spare
otherwise. ..
Mrs. Bodebender has been the very
popular president of the Union since
1912, showing remarkable executive
ability and graciousness, blended
with a personality and forcefulness
peculiarly individual, giving that ef-
fectiveness to her presidency that
has aided so much in the great ac-
complishments of this body during
the past few years. Aside from the
duties of this Office, Mrs. Bodebender
has found time to devote her ener-
gies to other causes. She has twice
been a delegate to conventions of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs,
and brought before these conven-
tions matters of importance that
have been given practical consitiera-
ton. She has been appointed State
Chairman Of Conservation, and is
using her best efforts for the ac-
complishment Of good things along
these lines, as her heart, as we'll rs
her mind, Is in sympathy with much
that is anticipated in this direction.
Mrs. Bodebender's first work, af-
ter. her election to the Union in
1912. was the appointment 1f the
chairman of the committees that
were to cooperate with the omcials
Of the parish fair, both as to ways

If the stable manure is allowed to

This is due to heat from the pile and

MEASURING HAY IN STACK

Reply 70 Andrew Wright, Sldewcod,
sask.: -WilI you please send me a
formula for measuring hay in the
stack"
For obtaining the number OF tons
OF hay in stack, the first step is to
measure the width and length with a
tape line. and then what is known as
the overthrow, that is, pass a tape
line from the bottom Of the4staek on
one side over to the bottom on the
other side and divide this measure
ment which is called the overthrow
by three. then multiply the length by
the width, and this by one-third OF
the overthrow--this gives you the
number Of cubic feet in the stack. OF
course, If the stack is different
widths or different heights you will
have to take the measurements in
several places and obtain the average
OF these by adding them together and
dividing By the number of measure
ments made.
The number Of cubic feet Of hay
per ton varies considerably with the
length of time that it has been stacked.
With newly stacked hay il will take
about 500 cubic feet 10 equal ton.
II 1t has been stacked for two to
three months, from $50 to 900 cubic
feet will equal ton. after you have
obtained the number of cuoic feet in
the stark. divide by the number Of
cubic feet in a ton. taking into con-
sideration the length of time that the
bay has been stacked.

sAsEsEss on cuARD

This nation is now in the midst OF
a controversy as to how best to pro
mote universal peace. That question
We will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and IL is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled "gas bombs''
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus
riculture with indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
.lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce Dur
ing the past quarter of century we
have fought many a duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point q pistol at the
heart OF honest enterprise
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives.
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port of Uni
versal Peace. Let US by all means
have peace. but peace, like charity,
should begin at home.

WHO WILL HURl
FOR LOCAL nine
IN LAST CAME?

Cambridge City comes to Richmond
Sunday for the third successive time
to fight 1t out with Richmond for the
county championship.
Each team has won one game by q
narrow margin and they will be sure
to put up an article Of ball In the
final that will be worth going long
way to see.
Cambridge won the first game in ten
innings, and last Sunday Richmond
beat them 10, SO the game Sunday
should develop some lively baseball.
Minner lost the first game and Wal
ling won his.
1t looks as though Walling should
repeat, but Minner wants chance to
get back at c.. c., and he may be
started and left In the box az long
as he is holding his own, keeping Wal
ling In reserve.
This promises to be the banner game
of the season and as 1t will probably
be the last the fans should be there
In large numbers
There is especial interest In this
game as 1t is understood that the
winner will receive the entire gate re-
ceipts, and that is something besides
honor to fight for.
The Richmond Reserves and Union
Giants will play a curtain raiser be-
fore the big game. They will start
1t IL o'clock and fight out their battle.

MAY MAKE EFFORT
TO RESuRRECT CLUB
BOOSTING ATHLETICS

Many prominent business men. who
were and still are interested in the
proposed athletic club, are greatly dis
appointed at the action of Messrs
Beebe, Eggemeyer, Duffin, Ulrich and
Brehm. the committee appointed for
the purpose of formulating plans for
the club, in declaring the entire propo-
sition closed.
1t has been pointed out that the
committee had no power to take this
action and the meeting will be held on
November l. as originally planned, and
the organization perfected.
There was considerable dissatisfac-
ton at the plans mapped out at the
first meeting.
The men who were the promoters
of the proposition seemed to have the
idea of forming boxing club and let
it 60 at that, while the majority IA
vored an athletic club that would take
an interest in all sorts of sports, box
Ing, baseball, polo, basketball, foot
ball, etc.
These are the men who will meet
next Monday night and form an asso-
citation that will meet the demands of
the majority and not the ideas of a
few
Richmond can support an athletic
club conducted on the proper basis
but it cannot support boxing club.
