HOT SPRINGS, va.-Horace Bow
ker and w. ID. Huntington, who were
elected president and yice-president Of
the National Fertilizer Association at
its convention here, are not only
mang the youngest leaders in the
fertilizer industry but are both men
who have made euviable regulations
as organizers and leaders in the in
dustry.
Mr.. Bowker has grown up in the
fertilizer industry, being son Of the
late w. Fl. Bowker, one of the pio-
neer chemical manufacturers Of thu
country and the man who during the
latter years OF his life was known as
the dean Of the fertilizer industry.
Mr.. Bowker began work with the old
Bowker Fertilizer Company at Eliza
bethport, N. J., In 1899. In 1903 he
joined the forces OF Baugh & Sons
Company at Philadelphia. Eight years
ago he became secretary of the
American Agricultural Chemical Com
pany Of New York, in which capacity

that a program is in course of being
arranged with the mortgages to pre-
vent foreclosure, which has been post
ponef for a short period. A fund Of
$4,000 is being assembled from the
island stockholders, and an effort will
be made to purchase the mortgage at
q satisfactory figure, and as SINH
lar arrangement was successfully car
ried out in regard to the rubber prop
critics, it is believed the coffee inter
ests will be equally successful in Sc.
curing title to their property.

be has made wonderful reputation
as an organizer
He has long been a recognized
leader In association work, being for
five years a member Of the soil i'm
proyement committee His election
as the youngest president Of the asso-
citation Is fitting recognition OF his
iroad-minded foresight and leader
ship.
w. d. Huntington, the new vice.
president, started in the fertilizer
business in Cincinnati. He was with
the International Agricultural Cor.
poration and was located at Buffalo
for IL years. In September, 1915, he
became vice-president Of the Dawson
Chemical Company at Baltimore. He
is chairman of the soil improvement
committee and a member of the
executive committee. The election OF
these far-sighted men presages new
era in the fertilizer industry and a
broadening of its already extended
lines of activity. X. ~ =.

for the flag day exercises under the auspices of the committee representing the various government departments Wilson Cheered En Route. The president, attired in white trousers, blue coat and straw hat and shouldering his flag like a musket, stepped briskly to martial airs played by the United States Marine Band. He smiled broadly and frequently raised his hat in responses to cheers as he marched along between two Dis trict citizens, escorted by Secretary Tumulty, the White House employees and the White House newspaper corps.
 Ideal weather favored the demon stration. There was hardly a cloud in the sky and the air was cool. En- thusiastic crowds thronged the avenue from the peace monument to the White House.
 In front of the White House the president left the line of march and took his place in a stand to review the parade. He was joined there by

 Continuing the work of tracing the disease, the department is still test ing wells and cisterns on farms from which milk is sent to the city. One well is under suspicion and on this farm no more milk will be sold in the city until the question of contamina- ton has been accurately determined. In three cases 1t has been shown that the milk came from the same source. The disease has cropped out within a week and is apparently gaining at an alarming rate.

 The print shop has just completed work on the High school class book, a job which has hitherto been done by a commercial printing house and comparison with previous books shows that fine grade of printing is icing done by the pupils under MT. hssett's direction.
 Practically all of the work in the tnde school in the way of installa- tim, new machinery. benches, desks and cabinets is now done in the shop by the pupils of the various depart m.nts As an example the installa- 'tin of the machinery, line shaftins. mstors and other paraphernalia was done by the machine shop and car-- pe,try pupils following the transfer from the shop In the rear of Stanley str.et. ..a.a
 The shop is conducted like real faclory. The pupils work eight Iours daily with four hours Saturday, keep accurate records of their time, punch ing a time clock, on entering and leaving Besides this exact record or the lime spent on each job is kept as well as the time given to academic studies When an order comes from the factory it is imm ediately filed and when work is started a production or der is given. Three records Of the work are kept by the department head and the whole is administered as it would be in @ modern manufac- turing establishment.
 Room for New Pupils.
 While the number of pupils mas fallen off during the past year due to the great demand for factory work CTS and in part to the proposed change in control from state to city, it is anticipated that with the close or the public schools for summer va cation there will be a large influx of new pupils The city has invested $17O,000 in the Vocational Hlsh school and will carry on the work so we'll begun by the state just as soon as the transfer is made, which Will probably be by August l.
