An extension conference travelling in
automobiles is an idea from the West.
At the close of the annual meeting
Of the California experiment station at
Davis and the agricultural college at
Berkeley, the agents from "a counties
and the assistant agents, the county
agent leader and his assistants were
Joined by 81 farmer delegates repre-
senting the county farm bureaus of
the state. The entire party, compris-
ing 151 people, spent seven days trav-
cling by automobile from Berkeley to
Riverside. The delegation passed
through IL counties, 8 of which have
farm bureaus and 8 of which have
resident county agents. In counties
having agents, the agents occupied the
leading car and conducted the party
to interesting demonstration work.
Short stops were made at which the
county agent or the farmer on whose
ranch the demonstration was being
conducted, explained the method and
results.
Some Things Seen.
Noteworthy things seen were poul-
try and bee demonstration work at
Santa Cruz, stock judging at Salinas
and Lankershim, the jim JeffrieS and
Lucky" Baldwin ranches in Los An
geles county, firetighting apparatus at
Santa Paula, seed-bed preparation at
the Camarillo ranch, pruning of april
cot trees, citrus pruning, the artesian
well and drainage project in Orange
county, spraying demonstration in wal
nut orchard, citrus-bud selection. and
poultry culling.
meetings were held each night at the
farm bureau center in the county the
party was visiting. The resident coun-
~ agent explained in detail the work
under way In the county and farm
bureau members discussed subjects

In which they were interested. The
delegates considered the ACCESSIBILITY of
state farm bureau federation and
recommended to the county farm hu-
reaus that such an organization be
formed at a later date.
The party was entertained by the
local farm bureau at dinner and SUD-
per at almost every county passed
through, while in southern California
the visitors were repeatedly met at
county lines by committees of women
and boxes Of oranges were literally
poured into the automobiles. The trip
closed, after covering 937 miles, with
banquet at the mission inn at Riv-
erside. Sights" We're neglected in or

Benefits From Trip.
The farmers participating were
unanimous in approval of the plan.
The automobile cost was met by the
college of agriculture and the farmer
delegates paid their own subsistence
expenses or it was met by their farm
bureaus. Aside from the practical val
ue of the demonstrations and farm
practices observed the whole tone of
county agent work in the state was
improved. Farm bureau officials re-
turned home with an enlarged outlook,
the county agents saw demonstrations
and organizations work under a va
riety Of conditions, and the people
OF the counties visited were given az
enlarged vision of the state and liz.
tional extent of the work.
While such an extended trip is pos,

IRON OUT FENDER DENTS

The greatest care must be
taken in Strengthening out dents
in the tenders, if the parts are
not to assume a battered ap-
pearance. The only satisfactory
method is to remove the fender
and get it on the bench. Be
meath it should be placed a block
of wood cut to fit snugly the
curve of the fender. Then the
dents can be pounded out with
comparatively little injury to the
finish and general appearance
of the parts. incidentally it is
a good plan to use leather NAL
let for this work or to cover the
head of an ordinary hammer
with number of thicknesses of
cloth.

DO AWAY WITH OIL TROUBLES
Method Advocated for the Proper

Bolts Shown Here.

Where hard oil is used as lubri-
cant for automobile spring bolts. it
sometimes dries in the small holes and
grooves that feed it to the bearing
surfaces, thus preventing the parts
from being properly fabricated. writes
Odis Reynolds in Popular Science

Frank A. McCarrell, organist at
the Pine Street Presbyterian Church
and Mrs. Roy G. Cox, soprano solo
list, delighted large audience in the
Messiah Lutheran Church last night,
when they presented a very enjoy
able recital program under the aus
pices of the Friendly Class of Mes
siah Church.
Mr.. McCarrell played as the open
ing number of the program, Boell-
mann's Suite Gothique," which in
cludes Choral" "Menuet," "Priere a
Notre Dame" and "Toccata." He
followed with Mansfield's An Even

pose of the eventide, and Custards s
sprightly Moroccan de Concert"
Mrs. Cox's first solo was Gounod' S
beautiful Ave Maria," the familiar
prayer to the Virgin which is dear
TO the hearts of all music lovers.
The singers voice has a delightful
tone quality, and a refreshing sweet
ness that raises her high above the
average artist, and these wholesome
qualities We're well displayed in her
flrst number to the evident enjoy
ment of the audience.

course of the piece the theme oc-
ours eighteen times. 1t is deveI-

Following the brief intermission
Mr.. McCarrell again appeared, play
ing the Funeral March and Hymn

mant This composition which is
widely known, was written for the
opening of the new organ at Notre
Dame Cathedral and was played by
its composer.

a brilliant composition which is
treated in somewhat of an original
manner. 1t opens with "a series of
rapidly repeated chords, followed
by section of ponderous character,
making use of the heavy reed stops.
The piece closed with repetition
and elaboration of the first section.
There was only one flaw to last
nights recital. That was the lack
of proper acoustic qualities. 1t
was suggested by number Of those
present that heavy curtain would
help to bring out the full tones of
the organ and singer. and it is hoped
that the officials of the church will
recognize this need and make the
one improvement that will bring
Messiah to a position high in the
musical world.

HELPING THE NEGRO.

The Diocese of Springfield, Mass.
through it's Jealous Bishop Beaver
gave to the Catholic Board for Mis-
sion Work among the Colored People
of the United States, a generous check
for $2,750 to help the apostolic men
and women. laboring in the colored
belt of the South. This dona ton had a
twofold value: pecuniary, and in this
respect, it was most opportune and
helpful; but its greatest value was
the spirit which prompted it, and the
conviction which it indicates.
The old spirit, Am | my brothers 5;
keeper" which was answered hereto
fore with a shrug of the shoulders, is
happily vanishing, and a most EN-
phatic yes is becoming the answer
to the old Scriptural question. This
great center of developed Catholicity
with its generous, Jealous and Apos-
tolic Bishop, is leading the way. and
activity of the Catholic Church into q
most fertile field, heretofore mini
mixed, disregarded and despised.
The editor of America recently
wrote: The Catholic interest in the
colored man is intimate, and should
be active. For the uplifting of race
to whom we owe a debt binding in
charity if not in strict justice, Cath
Ollie priests, Sisters and Brothers are
laboring with devotion nothing short
of heroic. AS to the general run o.
Catholics, however, their Indifference
to the mental and spiritual welfare OF
the negro is nothing short of scan
dalous. Count up how much you spent
last year on pleasure trips, on theater
parties, on utterly useless amuse-
ments or harmful luXuries, and then
reflect with shame that your munif
cent gift to the colored missions dur
ing that period was precisely three
quarters of a penny"

posed this campaign to raise unlim-

1t seemed to smack of the publicity

been accomplishments more; and

happy.

STAGGERING FIGURES.

From The Missionary Herald, the
organ of Congregationalist foreign
mission endeavor, is taken this ex-
tract. The figures fairly make one
stagger, and how small, by compar-
ison, seems the million and a little
over so painfully collected by the
Catholics of America this last year,
and their greatest achievement up to
date.
The Methodists have got what they
went after. 1t is announced that they
have secured their Centenary Fund
for Foreign Missions, whose goal was
originally $80,0000O0. but has been
gradually advanced till it now stands
at the staggering sum of $4,000, 900.
Congratulations and rejoicings! 1t
fairly takes the breath away to think
what will be possible to our enterpris-
ing and adventurous Methodist breth-
rem in the way of support and expan-
sion of their already huge undertake
jrgs on their foreign fields IT looked
like a pipe dream when it was pro-
