In asking that his name be erased

Lowden wired Mr.. Harding that his
personal affairs made it impossible for

Marketing COUNCIL.

Minneapolis. Feb. IA national
marketing council, through which pro-
ducers and dealers in grain would dis
cuss improvements and methods OF
handling the country's grain, was urr-
ed by Julius III, Barnes. Of Duluth, n
an address Thursday night at the an
nual banquet of the Minneapolis Grain
Commission Merchants association
here.
Such a plan. Mr.. Barnes asserted,
would extend the economy Of the pres-
ent system and also preserve the 'free-
dom of competition" The plan which
he proposes was based, be said, upon
the successful operation Of the United
States grain corporation, Of which hs
formerly was president. The presenc
situation, according to Mr.. Barnes, does
not call for any legislation now hein9
proposed locally or nationally.

Sleeping Sickness
Mortality Rate One
in 100, Says Surgeon

Washington, Feb. i7.-Danger
of death from sleeping sickness is
about one in hundred as compar-
ed to pneumonia, and the death
has never been known In epidemic
form, Or. J. w. Scherr Ghewsky,
assistant surgeon general, public
health service, and in charge of
scientific research said today.
Despite the notable increase re-
Gently in the number of sleeping
sickness cases reported, he added,
there was no cause for general
alarm, as the disease is not nearly
as com municabIe as pneumonia or
many other "better known maia-
dies"
"Probably the best preventive
Of the disease is good, healthy
condition and proper living" he
continued.

The organization would be co-opera-
tive with growers of grain taking mem
bership. They would then affect m
agreement with local cooperative ele-
vators or local grain growers asso-
ciation to deliver the grain either on
the basis of q sales contract or
pooling contract The local elevator
or grain growers association then
would contract with the national sales
agency to haudle the grain.
Warehouse 0wnsrshIp
The plan je:Ided upon calls for own
ership of terminal agencies, warehouse
corporations, finance corporations. ex-
port corporations and service depart
ments by the national sales agency.
The service department would fur
nish accurate information on local re-
gional, national or international conli-
tons which affected the graiu trade.
Transportation, legal statistical and
other departments would be included.
1t is planned to have membership
subscriptions furnish the initial capi-
tai necessary and later the running cx-
renses would be covered By q mini

statement said, "the farmers hope 70
check and finally eliminate specula-
hon and unfair practices By which the
grain markets bave been

Dedicate $40, 900 Church

The new Spanish Methodist Epis-
copal church was dedicated with APP
propriate ceremonies last Sunday ev-
ening. the Rev. H. \. Bassett OF Al
buquerque preaching the dedicatory
sermon. All the churches of the city
were invited to participate and there
was a large ~eoneeurse Of church mem
present.
The evening service was the main
event OF the day, the program being
partly in English and partly in Span
ish. Each member and visitor was
landed a neatly printed program in
Spanish.
A brief history OF the Methodist
mission work here which eliminated
in the erection OF a house OF worship
of which the church and the city is
proud follows:
\ little more than four years ago
the Spanish Methodist Episcopal
church. through the pastor and sup
erintendent of the district Revs. Ma
nuel Flores and T. NJ. Harwood, pur-
chased the unfinished property on the
corner of Platinum Ave, and Hem
lock St, belonging to the Christian
church. The property consisted of a
well-constructed basement of CON
crete. Upon this foundation a church
costing nearly $4,000 was erected, be-
ing one OF the most imposing in the
city.-Deming Graphic.

for the 90 new members who have
come into the church since the evan

ponded to by N. S. Bell. After the
program at the church the crowd
enjoyed a general good time on the

TheB aptists are very enthusiastic
over the membership which has grown
until the church seating capacity is
inadequate to accommodate the peo-
pie and a balcony is being installed
until a new church can be built. Plans
for which will be made at a meeting
to be held next week.-Tucumcari

Climbs to La Mesa Encantada

To be the first wonan to scale
the almost perpendicular walls OF
la Mesa Encantada' is the distinc-
ton OF Miss Erna Ferguson and
her sister. Miss Lima FERGUSON, who,
accompanied by Richard P. Woodson,
Jr.. and Spencer Browne OF New York
City. and two Aooma Indians, made
the ascent last Sunday.
The trip up the 500 feet to the sum
nit Of the great rock was made IN
two and a hall hours. Difficult IN
the extreme and ~perilious in many
places, the ascent was made only with
the use of ropes after the fashion OF
the Alpine climbers. Mr.. Woodson
vent ahead OF the others, working
his way up by picking toe-holds IN
the rock. He carried with him a
heavy rope which he tied to a rock
to form a ladder for the other mem
bers of the party. On one stretch
OF perpendicular rock the women and
the Indians climbed by the rope brac-
ed only by the bodies OF the two men.
Excellent pictures were taken at
each stage OF the journey showing
the apparently impossible obstacles
which were encountered, The views
Of Acoma and the surrounding coun-
try taken from the summit of the
rock are excellent. The party left
a mound OF rocks as 4 cairn on one
end OF the mesa and carved their
names in the soft rock with a geo
logical pick.
