FRANK P. WALSH SAID:


The great, the most pressing
problem before US is to undermine
the lethargy which envelops the
public mind. We must make peo-
pie think if we are to bring hap
piness and satisfaction to the
greatest possible number. And
the best way to make peSple
think is to give them facts to
feed upon. 1t will not be so much
the recommendations that we may
make to Congress as the facts that
we will establish that will count
in the end.

According to G.. s, Garcia, who Is
the leading spirit in the new race

September. Mr.. Garcia has been In
communication with the members of
the racing commission and also promi-
hent horsemen for several days and
gays that this city will almost un.

The Reno meet, backed by George
Wingfeld will take place early in Ju-

horses will take their strings to San
Francisco for the races. After the
middle of August these horsemen state
that they will have no engagements
and arrangements are being made to
get them here for big Rodeo and
races sometime about the first of
September.
The. originef plans and survey for
the new track have been abandoned
and new ones will be made to COM
ply with the terms OF the racing CON-
mission. A mile track will be laid
out and everything will be in ship
shape to comply with the most rigid
conditions the commission can impose.
Anew well has been dug on the site
OF the park and now runs four feet of
water. The shade treees, consisting
of 500 shoots of the yellow poplar va

loads OF apples in 1919? Counting
500 boxes per car, that gives us

less than a box apiece, not counting
what will be shipped abroad.
The poor are obliged TO do with
out fruit most OF the year, and that
isn't right.

how TO distribute them"
