turns from the newspaper in the sky. Early in the evening long before the returns were made public in many of the rural districts, the great white finger of a searchlight traced it's message of Governor Whit mans election by making a circle of light in the clear blue sky. The searchlight was op- erated by engineers at the gen. eral Electric Works, and the election returns were translat- ed by code of signals publish ed in a newspaper of wide cir culation the day before.
 From village and town fifty miles away came reports of reading the signals of the big searchlight and thus satisfied the engineers that their signals were not misunderstood. The searchlight used had fvefoot reflector, the same size as one used in a test few months be- fore which was observed 90 miles away.

OF INTEREST TO
 POULTRY -RAISERS

The following plans for cropping for poultry, issued by the Department of Agriculture should be of interest to Coco nino county poultry raisers. The high price of eggs should stimulate others to become poultry raisers. When eggs can be sold for 40 to 70 cents there is good money in poultry for those who are able to produce a good part of the feed which poultry consumes. A summer forage crop will be an import ant item in reducing the annual cost of feed to a minimum, and now is the time to be planning next summers forage.
 CroppingPlan for Poultry
 Green food for poultry may be provided turnout the year in a large portion of the country by using two yards alternately; that is, a crop is pastured in one yard while another crop is growing in the second yard. The following plan is suggest ed by specialists of the depart ment, as adapted to moderate. climatic conditions. The crop. grown should be the one best suited to the particular local ity. For the extreme north or South the dates should be mod flied. Thickly sown crops fur nish succulent food and sum- mer shade. April l to July 1

Lilac Memories.

"a poem written by Mrs. j. r. Plum
mer for the meeting Of the G.. A. r. OIL
May Goth, and read by Miss Eva Walker,
May breezes just stirring the tree.tops,
And nodding the new lilac plumes
Sending out after all the long years
The same, just the same old perfumes.
Heavy laden and heavily weighted.
THAT %n U Ssn oSs Sss. G sRs Gns
As they swing and sway to and fro.
No matter where'er We may wander
Or how long we may tarry afar
Across the Wild waste of waters
Or put DER the Harbor Bar,
The spell of the lilac blossoms
Will follow from far and from near
And hold In our hearts fond memories
That grow each decade more dear.
Memory pictures are painted 90 clearly
That their colors can never grow dim
They are tinted with reverence loving
Like song or an old loved hymn.
And out Of these memory pictures
There are many see tonight
More plain, some are than others,
As X seen through second sight.
A background of living green
While the village street, grass bordered
Like ribbon runs between.
Hark. List 'tis the drums low beating
And the tramp, tramp, tramping of feet
IT'S our boys just enlisted
Coming down the dusty street.
All, me, what waving and cheering.
As with heart aches and tears we drew nigh
Arms laden with lilac blossoms
To bid our boys. goodbye.
Now tits veteran boys" We honor
And we are with them all the way
For the past and for the present
We welcome them each day.
And ~ We hold our reunions.
When and wherever they are
Among the best to remember
Is this our g. A. 3.
Among all the things held most sacred
And the very frst In might
And that makes our every meeting
pleasure and delight,
IT'S the privilege to carry
The blue. the red, and the white.
Our nag, may 1t unmo!ested
Wave ever and ever for Right.
Sons Of Veterans, we now have with us
And as long years ago
Their fathers stood for freedom
So will they face whatever foe
Dares modest our own free border
Or invade our rock bound hills;
For freedom is stamped on our valleys,
And IL sung by our rivers and rills.
So we for right stand united,
In one grand unbroken band;
The past and present cemented
Honor bound to our own native land.
So on the walls of memory,
Hangs many picture plain
Framed close with lilac blossoms
Woven In long sweet chain,
That In unfading beauty
From out each flower decked frame
Shine on In undimmed splendor
Forever and forever the same.
Let these memories 30 fondly cherished
That are bound 30 close to the past,
Hold firmly and close to the present
And will all Eternity last.

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted ct the post Office. This
Ia made possible by an important amend
ment to the Postal Savings Act just ap-
proved by President Wilson. A postal
savings depositor may now have an ac-
count amounting to $1,000 upon which
interest will be paid. Formerly $500
was the maximum amount he could
have to his credit. This enlargement OF
postal savings facilities will be very
gratifying to thousands of depositors
who have already reached the old $500
limit and are anxious to entrust more Of
their savings to Uncle Sam. Another
feature of the amendment that will
avoid further embarrassment to the pub.
lie and to postal officials 10 the doing
away with the limit on the amount that
could be accepted from deposition
monthly. Under the old law only 800
could be deposited in q calendar month.

ton.
