The petitions filed included the
names of 283 voters, of whom l8l were
required by law. The managers have
succeeded in getting one petitioner to
file request that his name be taken
off the petition.
Late this afternoon the tip is being
given that Attorney Conkling has ad-
vised the majority of the board to re-
ject the petition without assigning any
reason except insufficiency. That is,
he would openly defy the people Of
the valley once more and hold the Big
Three in power regardless of popular
will. Whether the Big Three will fol-
low this advice remains to be seen.
They are apparently determined to jam
through their scheme for developing
Mexican lands to the utmost, but it
is doubtful whether they are willing
to 90 to the extreme limit of defiance
os public sentiment. This will become
known tomorrow forenoon, when the
matter comes before them officially.

morning, says an Athens dispatch to
TIE Exchange Telegraph company.
The Greek commander at Seres has

Athens, Aug. 23.---An initial bri-
gade of Russian troops has arrived
at Saloniki to join the entente allies
in the fighting in the Balkans.
The arrival of the Russians has
created a profound impression here.
Even the Royalists, who consistently
opposed participation in the war by
Greece on the side of the entente al
lies, are almost stunned by the news
Lat Russian troops had arrived to
take part in the campaign which,
under other conditions, might have
been taken by the Greek army.
The general feeling here is that
the bringing in of Russian troops
has dispelled definitely the dfeau Of
a greater Greece, which, was eon-
ceived year and half ago by the
then premier, Venizelos, who carried
Greece well on the way toward en-
trance in the war with the ertcHte
allies.
1t is regarded as possible that the
presence Of Russian forces in Mace
donia will effect a change in tho at

outfits against too small storage bat
I%teries. He states that in general
the storage battery should be of such
size that when once we'll charged it
will supply all the current needed by
the lamps for n week or more. Then
the engine and dynamo should he
large enough to fully fccharge the
battery in six or seven hours, Only
under unusual conditions will it be
convenient to use an outfit that re-
quires the engine to run more than
six or seven hours per week. SO
small a battery can be used that it
needs re-charging each day, or at very
frequent intervals. Then, too, the
dynamo might be so small that it
could not completely charge the bat
terry in seven hours time. Any of
these conditions would make it nee
essary to run the engine too much,
unless the power is also needed for
other purposes, and is large enough
to drive the dynamo and other work
at the same time.
DR.. Bracket states: '"The parts of
a complete lighting outfit are not al
ways made by the same company
and whether the size of whole equip
ments and the relative proportions of
the parts are suited to the purchas-
er's interests cannot always be de-
.termined by n unfamiliar with cleo
trical apparatus. Many times the
batteries and dynamos are rated in
technical terms which means nothing
to the layman."

Not Recommended for Fertilizina,
Says Bulletin.
Washington, D. C.-Wide publicity
has recently been given to a state
ment advocating the use of ground
feldspar as a substitute for potash
salts and referring to U. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture Bulletin No. 1o4
as authority for the proposed prac-
tice.
Bulletin No. 104, entitled THE Use
of Feldspathic Rocks as Fertilizer
was published in 1907. This bulletin
discussed the use of finely ground
feldspar as a possible substitute for
potash for fertilizer purposes, and
was based upon a series of expert
ments conducted by the department.
The results reached were i%nconclus-
i've, as the following quotation from
the bulletin itself will show,
"a careful reading Of the foregoing
pages will show that no claim has
been made that ground feldspar is an
efficient substitute under all circum-
stances for potash salts. Is $ = The
question is still open, and systematic
and long continued experimentation
is the only possible method of obtain
ing conclusive information on the
subject. 50 = 8 At the present stage of
the investigation it would be extreme
ly unwise for anyone to attempt to
use ground rock except on an expert
mental scale that would not entail
great financial loss. $ y . 1t is extreme
ly unlikely that ground rock will ever
entirely displace the use of potash
salts, for it's availability must newt
ably depend upon many modifying
conditions, such as the nature of the
soil, the amount of moisture present,
the character of the other fertilizers
used, and the varying re-. action of
different crops"

MoDERNlzED FARM HOMES.

The Expense Not So Great as Many
Have Thought 1t to Be.
For a house having from six to nine
rooms, hot-air heating systems nave
been installed for 500 to $lI5.
Plumbing systems have been installed
for 1925 to $500, the latter figure in
Guiding a hand pump and the steel
tank. Suitable septic tanks with
sewer pipe and the subsurface drain
age system have been installed for
500 to $3.50. 1t is apparent therefore
that all OF these improvements may
be added to most every farm rome al
a cost ranging from about $5O0 TO
$500. These estimates are given by
A. J. Willis, Professor of Civil Engln-
eering at State College. He says fur
Their:
1T is Of course more convenient to
put the heating and plumbing systems
into a house at the time of its con
struction than to introduce them later
1t is not a difficult matter, however,
to install such systems in houses al
ready built. The usual systems are
hot-air, hot water and steam. The
! hot air system is the cheapest to in
stall although it requires a greater
amount of fuel to operate it than dc
the others for the same amount OF
useful heat given off. 1t gives very
satisfactory results, however.
"The plumbing system usually IN
cludes bath tub, toilet and lavatory
for the bath room, a sink and say a
thirty gallon hot water tank for the
kitchen, connections for the laundry
and perhaps a sill cock outside Of the
house, and all of the necessary no
and cold water piping and waste pipe
1.-The water may be supplied to the
system from a tank in the attic tc
which the water is pumped by hand
gasoline engine or motor, or the sys'
TEN may be operated by a pressure
tank in the basement to which the
pressure is supplied by hand pump
Or engine. Other methods are also
in use.
"The disposal system which takes
care of the sewage and waste water
from the house may consist of a can,
crete septic tank located rs feet or sc
from the house. In this, sewage is
made practically harmless and is then
wasted in the soil or on the surface
