rorcsh Hrdrant Off Main

When the water was turned on
for the Tiff fire Saturday night
the pressure was so strong that the
hydrant in front of the high school
was forced off the main and the
street flooded. The water was shut
off for several hours until the trou-
BILE was remedied. The water was
turned on about noon Sunday.

sci. Manchester, 10 LIZ
Abilene carried off the trophy IN
the track and field events SATURDAY
afternoon by a margin Of 22 points
over the county highs, the nearest
councillors in Glass A. Abilene
maintained a slight lead throughout
but first honors were not certain
until the meet was about two-thirds
gone. when Haskell took first In
the vault. Gish did the same In the
broad Jump and Wagner surprised
the crowd by taking the half mile'
and French's lads had too big a
lead for the Chapman boys to over
come. The county highs defaulted
the relay to Abilene, although the
Chapman team was the faVorite IN
the event.
The wind was unfavorable FOR
speed events, and caused the post
ponement of the hurdle races for an
hour or more, so that the meet was
slowed up considerably. A good
crowd was present, and the meet
paid financially. I. L. Fowler OF
Manhattan was in charge OF the
contests and his work was satisrac-
tory. FOR ones the crowd tHas kept
fairly we'll out of the way SO that
contestants were not hampered and
the grand stand spectators couio
see all the events.
Six New Records Set
H. Gish of Abilene was the bright
particular star, winning three firsts
and a second and the pointwinner's 9
medal for Class A. In two events
Gish set new county records. He
shaved the 12O-yard high hurdle
record of 10 seconds made by Rus
ty" Carver in 1918 down to II 2-S.
In the high jump he outjumped L.
Taylor of Chapman, holder of the
county record Of 5 feet 2h inches,
and set the record of feet inches.
Cecil Taylor ran the 100 yards IN
II flat. beating the record set by
Meek of Solomon last year, IL 1-lO
grounds. Neeley, the fleet Enterprise
youth, lowered Lloyd Geoffroy'
record of "a 3-5 seconds to "a flat.
Neelev also lowered Kyles record
of Sc 3-5 for the 44O-yard run to S4
flat. L. Taylor of Chapman, the
mainstay of the Chapman squad
bettered his own record OF ~ 20
seconds for the low hurdles by tax
ing the sticks in 28 1-5.
District Meet April 80 Here
French's squad took the meet by
a wider margin than was expected
and the Abilene lads should make
a better showing in the district
meet here April 80. The rural
schools will have their meet May L.
In Glass B, Neeley of Enterprise
was the star and nifty one, too.
In Glass G, Frank Russell OF Man
chester, who entered the meet with
out having had any coaching, was
in nine events. placed in eight, and
nearly took first honors from Bell
of Abilene. The relay races In which
Wheeler's Garfield boys were en-
tered, gave the crowd as much en-
joyment as anything on the pro-
gram.
supt. w. o. Steen, who directed
the meet, was well pleased with the
crowd and the way in which the
affair was conducted. nS n
Loving cups went to the winning
teams in each class, gold fcbs to the
high point winners, silver fobs to
all winners Of first places, and rib
bons to winners Of second and third
places.

COOPERATIVE
CREAMERY IS
BEST SOLUTION
MEETING LAST SATURDAY HAS
BEEN THE MEANS OF STIRRING
UP MUCH INTEREST AMONG
THE FARMERS.

The question OF building a cooper.
ative creamery in this city and or
ganizing the farmers to support it,
has been discussed considerably since
the meeting last Saturday and there
seems to be tendency among those
interested to put their plaus to some
practical test
r. l.. Scott, county agent, has been
active among the farmers in this
county and he is meeting with en-
couragement The dairymen will
meet at the rooms of the Chamber
of Commerce next SATURDAY. afternoon
at two O'Clock to further discuss
plans.
The following from the Oklahoma
Farmer-Stockman, by Roy c. Potts, a
recognized authority on the creamery
and the dairy COW, will be of interest
to those who would establish cream
cry in this city:
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-09-01

cry is to furnish the best possible
market that is obtainable for the
cream produced in the community.
To do this, it must operate at full
capacity, it must receive cream OF
good quality so that it can manufac-
ture a quality of butter which will
command the highest market prices
and this product must be SO market
ed that the creamery receives those
prices which the quality Of the pro-
duct justitles.
When large number ot the cream
producers in the community of local
creamery ship their cream away from
that creamery, they are lessening the
success of that creamery just that
much.

A STUDY OF QUALITY
OF PLATINUM WARE

Washington, Sept. IA the sug-
gestion Of a committee of the Amer
lean Chemical Society, the bureau Of
standards, of the department of COM
merce, has made an experimental
study of the quality and purity of
platinum utensils such as crucibles,
veloped a delicate thermoelectric test
for platinum purity which permits a
rapid estimate to be made of the
amount of included foreign matter,
such as iridium or iron without in
juring the article tested. This ther-
moelectric test is being generally
adopted by large purchasers of plati-
mum ware.
The losses in weight on heating and
after acid washing have been deter
mined for several grades of platinum
crucible including pure platinum, and
ware containing iridium or rhOdium
and also iron. From the results OF
this investigation it is now possible
to predict very closely what will be
the loss in weight of platinum"
crucible when heated, this eliminating
serious source of uncertainty in
exact analytical chemistry. Ordi-
nary grades of platinum are found to
lose from or to 27 mil'igrams per
hour per 100 square centimeters Of
surface at 12O0oC. CurioIsly enough
the small amounts of iron always
present in platinum are found to bear
no simple relation to the magnetic
properties.
Suggestions are also given concern
ing specifications for the purchase Of
platinum crucibles.
