COTTON STRUCK
BY LIGHTNING

D. C. George, Plant Pathologist of
the State Commission of Agriculture
and Horticulture, describes an inter
esting observation made in an Egyp-
tian American long staple cotton
field in the Salt River Valley.
A field located ten miles south
east of Phoenix near the foot hills
exhibits a characteristic lightning
struck spot.
When visited by George dozen
or more plants in the center of the
spot were completely killed. The
area over which the stroke distri-
buted itself was nearly circular in
outline, the greater diameter being
approximately 120 ftet. Dead plants
only occupied the exact center of the
SPOT, the injury diminishing toward
the periphery.

Do NOT INHERIT POLITICAL
VIEWS Of THEIR FOREFATHERS
Mrs. Albert Fl. Brueggeman, Prominent Republican
Woman Worker of st. Louis, Sure Women Mark
Ballots on Own Judgment

''It has been said by the men that
we women inherit our politics and
religion from our parents-which is
sly way of saying that we don't and
can't have convictions of our own"
said Mrs. Albert H. Brueggeman, one
of st. Louis active Republican wo-
men who has made her choice of pol
tics from conviction, not heredity.
Although my father was Republi-
can, l think I am one from convic-
ton, not from heredity," she said in
recent interview 81 have always
believed the principles enunciated by
tbe Republican party are right; that
it is a party of vision, of leadership,
OF construction. | have no aspira-
lions for office, but l do want to take
hand in politics-to feel that l con-
tribute small mite in the election
of those who conduct the govern
ment"
Politics is not child's play, a fad
with which to while away leisure
time. 1t is a serious business involv-
ing as it does the veal or woe of the
general public.
Women cannot hope to seize the
reins of political affairs and relegate
men who have been running the pol
itical organizations to the realms
OF things that were. 1t would be
stupid, l think, for women to attempt
to form a woman's party = sex
party-to be manipulated as bal.
lnce-of-power proposition.
eff women became effective in poll
tics-and l confidently expect them
70 then they must work with the
mems organizations. If they hope to
get anywhere and to realize even
to a small degree their expectation of
better things they must line up with
political parties.
Il am not at all disturbed about
bosses. | might say that | am will
ing to follow the so-called boss and
work with him in politics if his goal
is good government, to he attained
tl-rugh good, efficient officials.

Another, on the purchase of play

DR.. Sherman of Columbia Unvers-

to the conclusion that the percentages
Oh the cost of the average American s
diet, is as follows:
Meat and fish 35 per cent
Milk and it's products, 20 per cent.
Bread and cereals, Is per cent
Vegetables and fruit, 13 per cent.
Eggs, per cent.
Miscellaneous, 6 per cent.
He further shows that far greater
efficiency would result and it would
Be more economical, if expenditures
were divided somewhat as follows:
Meat and fish, IL per cent
Milk and it's products, "A per cent.
Bread and cereals, 1 3 per cent.
Vegetables and fruit, II per cent
Eggs, per cent.
Sugar, per cent.
Miscellaneous, 5 per cent.
DR.. McCollum's recent experiments
also show in a striking manner a
great need for more milk and dairy
products in the human dietary,
especially in that Of the growing
cEild With little or no dairy pro-
ducts, he found the children to lack
