The report outlined the work as follows: The meetings of the club to be held the first Thursday eve ming of each month; that there be a permanent office maintained and a committee be appointed to see to the office. that a committee work to get the support of the ranchers of this vicinity: that a committee be appointed to confer with those who are working on the sub division of the school land west of Tempe; that Tempe take steps to secure and maintain more hotel ac- commodations for those who come in; that data on rentals be secured and that more building be encouraged, also that those renting now be encouraged to build their own homes as far as eXpedient.
 The final recommendation acted upor by the club concerned the club meet ings and a committee of five consisting of Rev. J. R. Rountree, Rev. w. b Fisk. Rev. c. N. Hand, A J Matthews and c. C. Wolf is 10 have the meetings in hand and secure speakers.
 The following committees were ap- pointed:
 To secure room-A. J. Peters, c. W Miller and Kelly Hyder
 To interest the ranchers in the club C. O. Austin, w. F.. Fisk, pr. B. B Moeur, J. F. McClain and Fred Joyce

Edward Carson, first lord of the ad-
miralty, pointed out in a speech this
week that ''in the olden times the lay
ing of mines was dangerous, but it was
nothing then to what it is now. when
submarines are employed not only to
sink ships. but to lay mines below the
surface of the water"
Mines of this character have caused
heavy loss in the English Channel
since the submarine campaign began
on February /, and from the promis-
cuous way in which these machines
were scattered they were much more
Sifficult to deal with than when placed
by surface craft in more or less de-
fined areas
