Y. w. c.. A. NOTES.

Intense interest was displayed by
the large and appreciative audience
attending the Vesper services on last
Sunday, in the debate which was so ex
cellently debated by Miss M. Sydney
Mayo, Mrs K. Gilpin Colson in the at
firmative and Mr.. Wallace Jackson for
the negative. Due to an important EN-
gagement which necessitated his alb
scence from the city, Mr. Henry Peters
could not take his part in the mega
tive side and much credit Is due Mr..
Jackson for his ready assent in taking
Mr.. Peters part as well as his own in
order that the debate could be given
as previously planned. The judges an
nounced that the decision would be
made on points made and sustained
and that a sealed verdict would be re-
turned by each without consultation.
Miss Mayo opened the debate: Resolv-
ed: That Woman's Influence has been
a greater factor in the progress of Civ
ilization than Mans" She based he:
argument on five points which were
further developed and proven by her
colleague and which the negative
speaker could not break down. The re-

You! II 1t Does Then Help The
Worthy Cause!

Have you stopped once to think that
we have an institution In our midst
owned and controlled by COl0red peo-
pie and known as the Friends Orphan
Asylum, 112 w. Charity Street? Do
you know that this institution is sup
ported largely by charity and regular
contribution from the Ebene.er, First
Baptist, Sixth Mt. Zion sometimes
and recently the Second Baptist
churches? Last year under the direct
ion of the Board of Health the Direc-
tors of the institution spent more
thar. $500 90 to fit up II laundry and
over $4,000 for pavilion for the use
of the children. The institution needs
many comforts inside the building
and if the Colored people helped just
a little it could he made more home
like and comfortable.

she ever kissed your finger when il

URGES POTATO MEN TO
ACT QUICKLY TO MEET
FARM LABOR SHORTAGE
Federated Growers Issue Open Letter
TO Potato Exchanges

Cooperative organization and fed
Grated selling by potato growers is
urged in an open letter under date OF
May 18th by the Federated Fruit and
Vegetable Growers to the otato ex-
changes and associations of this and
other states, as one means of meet
ing the serious farm labor shortage
just apparent from the countrywide
survey conducted by the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
The letter points out that "the ex-
perience Of the organized apple and
grape producers, citrus growers,
cranberry men, strawberry growers
and market gardeners throughout the
country shows that cooperative mar
keting organizations greatly reduce
the time which the individual farmer
must put on his marketing problems.
With grading, bagging, labelling, ETC.,
largely handled under cooperative
at shipping points, the
growers have more time for the ac-
tual work of harvesting. And every
hour is going to count on the 1923
potato crop"
Farmers cannot bid against indus
try for labor at present wage rates,
and with wages tending higher In the
majority of states, there is no immed-
late prospects that the situation will
De relieved within the season. The
cost of production promises to be
higher and the grower must meet
.hese costs by reducing waste in his
selling methods.

,ulting high wages carries right thru

ELECTRICITY CAUSES FEW FIRES

| That electricity is a potent factor
in lessening of fire hazards and that
Its use has reduced the number of
fires in Denver by more than 95 per
cent in the last five years on account
of it's application in the household
and industrial world, is the declar-
alton made by the chief of the Den
yer fire department in the newspapers
of that city as result of survey
made by his department.
He grouped the few fires of electri-
cal origin which have occurred in the
following three general classes: fires
over which ordinary precautions ex
ert little control, such as conflagra-
tions due to interferences with trans
mission lines by falling trees, lightn-
ing, storms and static electricity;
fires caused by abuse and carelesness
in the use of electrical appliances;
and, lastly, tampering with fuses, de-
terioration of installations and defec-
tive equipment.
Twenty-four conflagrations occur
ing in Denver during the course of
two years, blamed to electricity, have
been proved by the department to
have resulted from other causes en-
tirely. The statement issued by the
chief Of the department continues:
Results of our Investigations con-
vince us that it is not the use Of cleo
tricity that causes the fires, but ra-
Their the misuse. Electricity, when
applied, is one of the most
effective agencies in minimizing the
fire liability, although many careless
persons are Inclined to blame their
fire losses to electricity without MAX
ing an investigation"

large scale in North Carolina, which
then became and still is the principle
producer. Other states, however,

mining, especially Virginia, South Da-

There is no Swiss navy, you know

The Swiss navy in this case was
representations giving an exagerat-
ed idea of the conditions in this state
Some of those resolutions, and dec
larations in other forms, sounded
like a famine in Russia. They told of
the TERRIBLE CONDITIONS so bad
that NO ONE could pay the govern
ton contracts.
These statements went to congress,
to officials in Washington, and, worst
of all, over the entire United States
telling the nation that Idaho was
Impoverished and lifeless.
The enemies of reclamation, those
who oppose spending any government
money excepting one eastern and
southern harbors, rivers and creeks
were delighted to have the west
furnish this evidence for their cam
paign against the west. And what
does anyone imagine investors and
prospective home seekers thought
about that testimony?
True, conditions had not been the
best here, but we participated in a
nationwide depression. Why should
not our balloon come down after the
war? The other fellows did. We did

take our own medicine If we fooled
the gate receipts away?
People who owe Uncle Sam for
money advanced ought to expect to
pay it the same as any other debt.
They should not ALL expect blanket
and indeterminable extension of re-

should, have it. And above all, they
should not spread alarm to the detri-
ment of their state.

on the methods employed in each
community, although less tangible,
of course, because it is not so easily

next logical step for potato men
eliminates marketing waste and this
coming year may be a considerable
factor toward making up for higher
