Harwood school took third place
in the state tourney and Alamogor-
do were left to the fourth position,
Harwood held the best of the con-
test for the greater part of the
game but Alamogordo put up stiff
opposition. This was the eourth
hard contest for the Alamogordn
team today and they showed the ef-
fects of their constant playing and
We're very much fatigued.
Madrid scored the most of Har.

the chief scorer for his team. The
score was 1912 at the end of the
first period.
In the last half Harwood again
outpointed their opponents and
Alamogordo failed to hit the baske
regularly. Several men had two
personals against them but as a
whole the game was cleanly played.
Alamogordo fought like demons in
the face of defeat and were con-
sidered about the pluckiest team
that played in the tournament.
The surprise of the day was
when Harwood school of Albuquer-
que, lost to the Cruces five and
spilled the dope bucket. Harwood
had been picked for second place
and two Albuquerque teams were
expected to play the finals. Mad
rid, Harwood forward, did not
score during the first half that
ended with the score at 1876 in
favor of Las Cruces.
In the last half Harwood rallied
and outpointed their opponents but

people are coming to see hat Ameri-
can ships mean the expansion of Am

Criticism is offered Of the present sub

Harding and Chairman Lasker of the
Shipping Board, in hat it will mean
on the basis of allotment the giant
ocean passenger liners will receive
great favor while slow freight vessels
will not be aided materially. This is

agricultural activity means increased

alities that have characterized his

The Telephone Pole is a fruitful tree.

LIN SISpIlOlC L OlC Is d IIulCIul Tree.
On its angular branches are bright crystal apples,
and the wires they bear aloft are the pathways of the
worlds conversation. They tell of the birth of a baby
across the street or of the death of a monarch half way
around the world.
The stately trunks of cedar and chestnut stretch
from farm and town and suburb to the larger cities
where the burden of wires is too great for poles, and
the lines are underground.
10 carry all of the telephone wires of a great city
overhead would be out of the question. To put all
wires underground in the less densely populated places
would be just as impracticable, for it would make the
cost of the service prohibitive.
Ideal telephone service should give to every sub
scrlber, whether in city, town or country, quick COM
munlcatlon to near or distant points in the most eco
nomlCal manner.
1t is such an ideal that the men and women of the
Bell Telephone system have constantly in view. Some
thing it be developed in Sacramento or
kalamazoo-is Immediately available to every other
town in the Bell System where it may be introduced
to advantage.

Rain production will probably be &C

weather control by artificial

hopeless Of accomplishing It, At the
time Of the Dryenforth experiments.
the physicist, Elmer Gates, was
demonstrating in his laboratory at
Chevy Chase, Nd. the production of
rain electrically. Electrifying the air
at one spot tiike limited area Of the
earth's surface) causes expansion by
the mutual repulsion Of particles; the
air becomes less dense and rises. the
currents thus set up encounter colder
air in the upper regions and -
moisture is precipitated"

efforts made In 1892 to produce rain
by the conclusion of explosions. They
were hailed as a success for time

by lucky sccidents-
