ATLANTA GYM. HAD QUITE
A BIG TIME LAST SUNDAY

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 13.-The wiles
Of a theatrical press agent coupled
With premature publication of his
framed up story have got the Atlanta
Athletic Club of this city in regular
Juror OF excitement as the result of a
Sunday afternoon workout in the
club gymnasium by bunch of girls
who are doing a dancing act at the
Forsyth theater this week.
For the purpose of getting story
il the papers the press agent arrang-
ed for them to run through some ex-
ercises in the club gymnasium on
Sunday afternoon and quietly tipped
off few of the bachelor members to
be on hand.
Meanwhile he requested the morning
newspaper not to print the story Mon
Gay morning for fear some of the more
sedate members of the club would OBJ
iect to the day selected for the bloom
err show, and he claims that the city
editor promised him.
But next morning, which was yes
terday. along came the morning paper
with story on the front page, telling
in detail of the pell nell rush of mem
bers to the gymnasium when word got
abroad what was coming off.
And now the sedate members are
raising the very deuce with the house
committee for granting permission for
any such shocking performance, and
the house committee are threatening
to lynch the press agent, and the press
agent is cussing the city editor of the
morning paper for everything he can
think of.

ARGENTINA OPPOSED TO
LOANING MILLIONS TO ENGLAND

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 13.-The Blu
enos Aires press today sat down heav-
lily on plan for the opening of 40
100000 pounds Argentine credit in
London, paying per cent interest and
secured on S0,OO0,OOO pounds worth OF
treasury, railroad or industrial secur-
tiles. This really would be loan to
England.
The scheme is said to have original
ed in England, as means of enabling
the British to buy Argentine supplies
without weighing upon the exchange
rate.
La Nacion says such a transaction
would have pernicious and disturb
ing consequences and would be con-
trary to the Argentine fiduciary sys-
TEN of effective responsibility by con-
verting the currency or the gold which
guarantee it into an instrument of in
secure combination of international
credit at time when the Argentine
government is appealing to foreign
credit to help it out of its financial dii-
ficulties."
Even the strongly pro-English Stan
dard, of Buenos Aires, says "the pro-
posal for loan Of any kind from Ar
gentina to Great Britain is absurd"

AFFAIR, SAYS SUN
(From Baltimore Sum-

NplOn bdlLIultlS Ouu.J
The German submarines have been
taking heavy toll in the last two or
three days, and if they can keep up the
recent percentage of destruction the
British might have reason for appre-
hension. But that the British admiral.
ty is not alarmed is significant of
consciousness of reserve power and
Ct the ability to deal with the attack.
It was expected and it has been pre-
pared for, and while we get no exact
details of the protective and aggress-
i've measures that have been devised,
except the general light given by
Lord Curzon, it is only reasonable to
assume that this contest On the sea
will not be one-sided.
We hear of the British and neutral
ships sunk. but We never hear of sub
marine losses. This policy of silence
on the part of the British admiralty
characterized the anti-u-boat campaign
in 1915, and We know that it was fol-
lowed by the reduction Of submarine
activity to negligible proportions. IT.

The British admiralty proposes one
decisive test Of its ability to crush or
drive away these assailants. "The
daily reports of the decrease in sink
ings," it says, will be the best evil
dence of our success" While the sub
marine fleet is at its strongest and
freshest it will make its highest score.

WHAT CAN Be
ACCOMPLISHED

Two young men, Messrs. C. D. Drake
and Bert Horrel, both Of Rice Lake,
Wisconsin, last May went to Thief
River Falls, Minnesota, and in con-
junction with Mesrs. J. B. Arpin and
E. P. Arpin, to back them, a section
of land, 80 acres of which had been
under cultivation before, but the rest
of it had not. They put the 80 acres
into potatoes and the 400 acres into
flax. This was on or about the middle
of May, 1917, and they now report
that the present prospects for good
crops are excellent. The 80 acres put
into potatoes look fine
The lands are located between Thief
River Falls and Warren, Minnesota,
in the northern part of Polk County.
They are located about 9 miles from
the railroad. 1t was necessary for
these boys to haul by team every thing
from the station to the farm dis
lance of miles.
With a crew of men and big gas
traction engine and a gang of plows,
and other necessary tools the above
has been accomplished since the 18th
of May and last day Of June, and it
is estimated under the present out
look that they will harvest in the
neighborhood of 10000 bushels of po-
tatoes and 5000 bushels of flax
What these young men have accomp-
lished many others could do likewise
and make good money.
Bert Horrel, one~of these young men
it will be remembered, had trouble
with the notorious Deitz of Cameron
Dam, and was shot by him during the
trouble, but fortunately for the young
man he was not seriously injured.

Venus is becoming the conspicuous
evening star and at the close of the
month will set little south of the
west point of the horizon, one hour
and a quarter after the sun. The re-
naming bright planets appear in the
morning sky and all rise over the
northwestern horizon. The brightest
Jupiter, rises near midnight at the
beginning of the month and in the
late evening at it's close. Mars ap-
pears later in the night but is con-
spicuous in the early morning hours
and shines with a rudy hue. Saturn
is nearer the sun, but by the close of
the month will be plainly visible at
dawn.
The times of sunrise and sunset are
