cussion. He said they were compelled

Support Your Own
Chamber of Commerce

The Chamber of Commerce should
be the greatest influence to pro
mote the welfare of this commun
ity. Let us see why the Chamber OF
Commerce should be supported by all
citizens:
1t promotes the growth, health, ed
ucation, and prosperity of the City OF
Delta and residents thereof.
1t co-ordinates and harmonizes the
activities of all non-political associa
tions which conduct charities or work
for public improvements.
It develops the trade and commerce
of the community by disseminating
information relating to commercial
industrial, agricultural educational
health, tourist, and recreational inter.
ests of Delta and it's environs.
1t fosters integrity, good faith, co,
operation and uniformity in business
and commercial circles. The Chamber
of Commerce should be the giant
centralized power in this community
for industrial advancement In dol
lars and cents the officers of the
Chamber Of Commerce work for less
than the Dollar a Year man did dur
ing the war, yet some citizens de-
fame them, thereby defrauding them
selves of great benefit.
All good citizens who desire to see
their community advance and prosper
will never fight the Chamber of Com
merce and will work untiringly for it.
Support your organization for person
al, community, and national blessings,
for it is your benefactor and you
should not regret investing money in
the Chamber of Commerce for you
can and should sacrifice time as well
as money if necessary to see it sue
coed.
Who should belong: All resident
property owners as we'll as business
people should belong to the Delta
Chamber of Commerce. While it is
true we have 100 members, we should
not be satisfied with this. Those who
are not in touch with thhe local work
may wonder what we are doing in the
Chamber of Commerce. Hundreds of
letters are answered each year by the
Chamber of Commerce. and several
thousand folders are being mailed out
to all parts of the country. We have
inquiries from many sources which
are taken care of promptly In ad
dition to the information given out
we have many inquiries through the
labor bureau for persons desiring as
sistance, as well as those who are in
search of help. We endeavor to do the
greatest good for the most people ir
seeking to serve the public.
Who is there living in, or owning
property in Delta who is not served

ia on Monday evening when Paul
Hill, Goldie Stout and Howard Sherd

defeated in their argument: Re-

Accept the World Court with the
Harding Reservations. However, the
debating teams will have another
contest at Cedaredge in two weeks
time.
There was scarcely standing room
in the auditorium Thursday even
ing when the Delta and Cedaredge
teams contested for the honors in
basketball. The games were spirited
and fast from first to last, and show
ed the splendid training of both
teams. -he Delta girls were ahead
in the first half but later the Cedar
edge girls by extra hard play forged
ahead, and the score at the finish of
the game stood 80 to "a in favor of
the home team. The Cedaredge boys
also, after hard struggle. brought
the score up to "a against Delta's

SQUEALrNG PIGS

VKTHEN pigs squeal or grunt more
w than usual it is a sign of rainy
weather-some say simply of bad
weather." This is superstition al
most universal in the rural districts. 1t
is a question whether all the so-called
superstitions regarding the power of
animals to foretell the weather really
belong in the superstition category.
Lord Bacon believed that all out
door animals were weatherwise, at
tributing this to a susceptibility they
acquired to atmospheric conditions by,
their constant exposure to the ele-
ments. The ancients attributed the
weather-wisdom of birds and animals,
on the contrary, to some mystic quail
ity drawn from NEUROLOGICAL sources.
The idea that squealing pigs predict
wet weather has its evident origin in
the status of the pig in ancient Egypt
where it was closely connected with
agriculture and was sacrificed to Isis
at the Feast of the New Moon, the
moon (Isis) being the source of mois
ture.
The Egyptian farmer who heard the
squealing of the pigs being sacrificed
upon the altar Of Isis knew that be-
cause of that sacrifice he need not fear
drought. So the Yankee farmer of to-
day when he hears the successors of
those pigs of Isis squeal knows that it
is going to rain The persistence of the
Isis influence in modern superstition is
a remarkable fact.
In this connection it is interesting
TO note that among the papers of the
unfortunate duke of Monmouth

Newton, and born only twenty-three
years after the death of Francis Bacon

Breakup of Raindrops
Cause of LIGHTNING?

The latest accepted theory on the
cause of lightning is based on expert
ments conducted in India by DR..
George c. Simpson. Simpsons ex-
PLANTATION starts with the fact, previ-
ously determined by laboratory ex-
periments, that when drops of water
are broken up there is a separation of
negative and positive electricity, says
the Mentor Magazine. This process
occurs on large scale in thunder
storms, where the falling raindrops
are broken before they reach the earth
by the powerful uprushes of air that
occur in such storms.
Positive electricity tends to remain
in the drops, while negative electricity
is carried aloft by the rising air and
eventually gives strong negative
charge to the higher parts of the
clouds.
The two kinds of electricity have a
tendency to reunite and neutralize
each other, but they are kept from do
ing so by the air, which is bad con-
ductor. However, when the opposite
charges are strong enough they sud-
denly break a path through the air
and lightning is produced.
