AGED MAN STANDS OPERATION

Daniel Huntsman, the aged father
of our townsman, DIR. w. F. Hunts
man, was operated upon last Wednes-
day afternoon, for appendicitis, or
rather for an appendicital absess, at
his home town, Scottsville, KY. 1t is
rather remarkable that the operation
was performed by the use of local
anesthetic only. The elder Hunts
man is in his SIND year and is a
stocky old gentleman. Mr. Huntsman
had the nerve to raise his children
without any foolishness and that
nerve has stood him well in many 9TH
err tests. The news from Mr.. Hunts
man has continued to be favorable.

HOW BETTER THAN PILLS?

The question has been asked-In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to the ordinary carthartic
and liver pills? Our answer is, they
are easier and more pleasant to take
and their effect is more gentle that
one hardly realizes that it is produced
by medicine. Then, they not only
move the bowels but improve the ap-
petite and strengthen the digestion.

A REMARKABLE RECORD.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has

has constantly grown in favor and
popularity as its good qualities be-

and main reliance for these diseases
in thousands Of homes. The facts
that it can always be depended upon
and is safe and pleasant to take are
greatly in its favor when il is wanted
for children. All druggists.

THE PHENOMENAL GROWTH
OF JUNIOR M. E. CHURCH

JUNIOR, w. VA, Jan. %, 1922
AS our revival meeting at the M. E.
Church is closed, we want to thank
the people of our town for the inter-
est they have taken in the meeting,
pointing sinners the road to Christ.
The Rev. William Fallen and our
Pastor, Rev. R. L. Greynolds, better
known as Bob, worked hard for two
weeks, night and day, and all the mem
beers of the church were at their posts.
1t was the intention to hold the
meeting for one week only, but the
interest was so great from the start
that it could not close. Rev. Fallen
had to return to his work after one
week, but "Bob" continued to give the
call and the Holy Ghost showed in
power, and in the two weeks meeting
about rs souls came into the fold of
Jesus Christ. This good work, but
there is many out yet, and it is hoped
that the prayers of the Christian peo-
pie will take effect and bring many
close to Christ. 1t is fine to now sit
in church on a Sunday morning and
see faces there that have not been
seen in church for years, and to hear
them testify for the Master in class
meeting.
We thank our Pastor and Rev. Fal-
len for the interest they have taken
in our town and community. "Bob"
has always been hard worker among
US. He is in his fourth year with US,
and has taken in $50 members. He is
a friend to all who know him, never
frowning, but always has a smile.
Due credit is to be given to our
large choir of forty voices for their
faithful attendance and willingness
to do their part.
For three years this church has had
the largest Sunday School in Barbour
County, which has mao it necessary
to enlarge the church building several
times. There has been regular pro-
gress in all departments, and this
church is taking its place among the
leading churches of the Elkins dis
trict.

degrees lower than the dew point
of the preceding evening. Through
these months the morning dew point
is normally lower than that at pm.
preceding, but even this will not
bring the am. dew point at Phoenix
down to the minimum at the Indian
school. In extreme cases the mini
mum was degrees lower than the
am. dew point at Phoenix, while
the average difference for the four
months was minus 3 degrees.
Longer Growing Season
There is no question that some of
the hillside exposures will give a
growing season fully a month longer
than Phoenix, but data is not avail
able on which to base exact figures.
A primary object of the survey
was to determine what sections were
suitable for citrus culture. The scope
of the survey broadened consider
ably but sight was not lost OF the
original idea. While citrus trees grow
and there are a few small groves as
low as the "a degree line on the map
the citrus section of the valley lies
above the 35 degree line and the
most desiI able section above the SO
degree line. The fact tnat the fruit
is nearly always off the trees pefsre
the first frost and that the. trees are
in q semi -doI mant condition through
the winter season makes the danger
OF loss from low temperature, once
the trees have made a good start,
less than for citrus sections of Cali
fornia. Smudging and flooding as
"a protection against frost are con-
fined almost exclusively to the young
groves and nurseries. In exceptional
cases, where frost Is expected and
the fruit has not been gathered. pick
ing is rushed all day and far into
the night as damage to the fruit
rather than to the trees, Is in dan
ger.

who come to the Salt River valley

made with the Southwest Cotton
company for free air temperatures
to be taken by airplane at various
elevations over the cross section dur
ing cold, early mornings. Unfortu-
nately the plane was wrecked before
this work could be started. These
dates, IL available. would offer a
most interesting comparison with hill
side temperatures at the same eleva-
tion at the same time. The winters
work began Nov. / and continued
through the first week of April. The
weekly visits were made TO the eight
stations during this period and occa-
sional visits to other stations as op-
portunity offered. The records OBJ
tanned are especially interesting as
bearing on the study of temperature
inversion and air drainage. and with
certain illustrative tracings and
graphs, are taken up in the latter
part of this report
In all, AZ stations We're considered
in making up the report of the sur
vey lS of them regular stations, Of
which two are outside the valley
proper and 29 special stations. Cred
1t is due to many cooperative OBJ
servers I'm making the report so COM
while. There has already been a con-
siderable demand for copies of the
printed map showing temperature
lines and length of the growing sea-
son over the valley. The value to
healthseekers alone would justify the
last seasons report. 1t is felt that
in much larger measure than was
at first contemplated the object of
the survey "to determine the area
and limits within which the great
est money value crops could be
grown" has been attained.
Used Coolest Months
In making up the temperature map
of the Salt River valley, mean min
imum temperatures for December and
January were used. particularly be-
cause they were the coldest months
Of the year. but because for these
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01

months more complete figures were
available than for November and
February. While for many Of the
more than 40 stations considered the
records were too short to give a fair
mean of themselves, a number of long
records were available, 25 years at
Phoenix weather bureau station, "a
at Granite Reef dam, 20 at Mesa and
the University experiment farm
(PhoeniX No. u, and IS at Tempe.
For these long records, minimum
temperature normals were worked
out for December and January and
departures from the normal figures
for each month. These departures
were applied as corrections to tenn
peratures at short record stations
fors the approximate months, zones
being established over which cor
rections from the different long rec
ords should be applied
1t must be admitted that the map
fails to touch directly on the very
vital subject of absolute low tenn
peratures, the temperatures which
damage and against which the gar
dener, nurseryman and orchardist
must be on his guard. And yet the
relationship between these tempera-
lures and the mean minimum is very
close. As shown by the following
table, which embodies results of all
records of five years or more, there
is difference between the mean
minimum and the mean absolute
minimum but months, which very
closely appreciates IL degrees Fab
renheit. The difference is so consist
entity shown by the line records con-
sidered that it may probably be safely
applied to ALL A further allowance of
eight degrees will cover all prob
able departures from this mean of
the absolute minimum, though dur
ing the record breaking cold period
in January, 1913, the departure was
from IL to IA degrees, 4 to degrees
greater than for any other year
which the record covers. Table No.
