Opening of School.
 Last Monday afternoon the new li- brary at Emerson school was the scene of the first teachers meeting and what pleasure it was to see both old and new members of the teaching force being introduced and welcomed.
 Eleven new members make quite a stir and that the pleasant year antici- pated will be fulfilled there is every reason to believe.
 Mir. Richardson, after introductions were over, made in his opening speech, the remark that after all hearty cooperation would go further than any one thing to keep the ma chinery of the school in good work ing order-surely that is the biggest and best wish for the ensuing school year.
 Social Service.
 The meeting of the social service circle last Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Burnell Osler, was not as we'll attended as one might have wished. It was the day set for cleo tion of officers but the local political pot was boiling quite lively that day, which may have accounted for scare ity of members. However, the ladies as usual spent the time profitably, for they are sending their little blind pro tegee to Tucson this week and this means sewing and then more sewing. Different ladies are offering assist ance so the work will no doubt be speeded up on this one particular line.
 Watch the date for the next meet ing, that the officers for the new year may take up the work in due time.

 Picnic and Drive.
 One ideal day was spent last Satur- day, unmarred by rain or accident and voted to have been one of special pleasure by all participating. The hostess was Mrs. Tom L. Rees and with some sixteen friends, motored out on the Schulz pass road where a marvellous spread was daintily served under the pines. The tempting lunch con but served as forerunner for the delightful social hours that followed and not until the hour of four did the reluctant guests drive home.

 Opening Day for
 Woman's Club.
 How proud a town should be to boast Woman's Club!
 More good ventures have been pro posed and carried to success through an organization of this kind than al- most any other type of group work. Over one hundred members are on the roster this year and with the en- thusiastic president, Mrs. c. o. Lamp land, at it's head, something good should be accomplished. The opening

 Birthday Party.
 Was there ever a more enchanting age than six! And then to be able to have all ones little friends in for tea well that's the height of bliss. Lit tie Miss Katherine Stevenson exper- fenced just such happy episode last Saturday afternoon and when twenty seven friends gathered around the long table prettily decorated with fa- vors and flowers, it was lovely, wholesome sight. Games were play ed besides the mere joy of eating and visiting and the fun lasted until six, when the departing guests bid their hostess adieu.
 Miss Charlotte Stevenson, Miss Jo- sephine Wilson, Miss Charlotte Mills and Miss Helen Skilling did the hon. ors at serving the following guests: Barbara Becker, Barbara Rees, Anne and Mary Marjorie Yaeger, Ruth Falk, John Crable, Betty Finn, Joe Tissaw, Mildred and Harris Burke, Thurman and Thalya Gunter, Jack and Victor Clark, Tom and Mary Del phine Pollock, Margaret, Janet and Jack Verkamp and Margaret Smith and Caroline Lusk

Strange Drauahts Boards.

Probably the most extraordinary
draught board In the world was con-
structed at st. Leonard, England. In
1891. 1t was made Of solid blocks OF
concrete, three feet thick, and its sur
face covered an area Of 625 square
feet A draught board, which at one
time belonged to Bismarck, is estimat.
ed to have cost more than $4,000
The squares are made Of solid gold
and silver. This draught board was
declared by experts to be the most
valuable In existence. A set OF
draughtsmen. II Of gold and L OF
silver, were presented to the prince
In the center of each golden draugh1
was a beautiful ruby, while inlaid II
tfe center Of each silver one was
peerless diamond. A quaint old draugh
board is still to be seen hanging as
sign outside the Chequers inn, Os
,motherley. It's interest lies In TIT
fact that neither the original painter
Of the sign, nor the landlord OF thu
inn, was a draughts player. Th'
board has So squares, whereas rea

SOME FISH OF RECORD SIZE
Finny Monster Claimed to Have eeen
Taken OF New Jersey-Remark-
~ able Devil Fish.

America claims to have caught the
largest fish on record-an enormous
ray harpooned of New Jersey, weigh
ing four tons, and needing six oxen
and % men to drag 1t ashore. The
battle with the fish lasted nine hours,
and 1t lashed up spray to height OF
over 80 feet
Allowance must be made for some
exaggeration, but there are on record
other cases where gigantic rays, or
devil fsA, have been harpooned.
One taken of Jamaica was so big
that II took 40 men to drag 1t along
the beach. Even rays caught In Brit
ish waters are sometimes Of great size,
like one that was sold in the fish
market at Cambridge. 1t weighed 22l
pounds, and when cooked and served
at st. Johns college was sufficient to
make q meal for 120 persons.
A ray 18 feet across and 90 fee'
round was trapped in Table bay, while
off the Bahama Islands the natives once
harpooned a gigantic skate measuring
something like 16 feet across the flap

Checking Fire in Films.

The celuloid films used for motion
pictures ignite easily and burn rap
idly. necessitating the installation OF
special protective equipment. A Eu-
ropean inventor has combined a new
chemical with an ingenious method OF
applying it, which saves, it Is asserted,
all of the film except the portion first
ienited. The film in the projecting
machine is surrounded by ring of
tubing with inner perforations, con-
nected with an iron tank containing
the chemical, a colorless liquid. A
valve near the operators hand enables
the flow to be started instantly.-Pop-

Arche6ogists are puzzled by the pre-
historic carving of a lion near Vera

the origin of this little known relic Of
prehistoric America, but have thus
far proved futile. The similarity to
the African lion rather than the noun
tain lion Of this hemisphere has added
to the mystery.

spray irish Potatoes for Late Blight.
Due to the excessive rains tbis
season many fields, especially in the
hastings district, had to be trans
planted, which means that there VIII
De a great deal more potatoes than
usual to come in late in the spring.
therefore, it should be expected that
the late blight may be of much great
er importance this time than usual
provided of course. the weather is
favorable TO the disease On this
account, DR.. C. D. Sherbakoff. truck
pathologist at the Experiment Sta
tion, strongly recommends the grow
ers to spray potatoes for late blight.
Start spraying early, repeating the
operation every 10 days until about
a week before digging time. Spray
thoroly with 4-4-50 bordeaux mix
ture, freshly made. The best re-
suits are obtained when the spray-
ing is dong under about $50 pounds
pressure, and when from SO to 100
gallons of the spray mixture is ap.
piled per acre. The smaller amount
is sufficient for the first sprayina
when the plants are small. The
larger amounts will be required with
the increase of the size OF the plants.
Always attempt to spray before a
rain.
