Dairy Day"
Proves To Be
Fine Success

An address by Sam Greene, man.
ager of the California Dairy council,
marked the afternoon session of the
Dairy Day" program at City park
Saturday afternoon. Many enter
tainment features We're provided
and the program ended in number
of athletic tests.
In his address Greene talked on
the general conditions of the dairy
industry in California. He told of
the steady growth of the industry
during the last few years and the
many modern features which have
been injected into dairying. He
then briefly outlined prospects for
the future in which he declared that
the dairy market has great possibili-
ties and urged the dairymen to con-
tinue along their present lines of
cooperation in marketing.
The civic organizations of the
city. the Kiwanis, Lions, and Rotary
Clubs, then presented their portion
of the program. This opened with
the Marimba band and was followed
by an aerobatic act, juggling act
and an act in which man escaped
from hand cuffs and a straight
jacket. The Juggling act in which
4 man and woman handled Indian
clubs proved 4 feature.
The sports program then got un-
der way. There was the race for
the fat men in which several en-
trants puffed along vainly to the
tape; the sack race, three-legged
race, ladies race, dashes for the
boys and the potato race.
The crowning feature was the
chase after the creased pig. The
pig slid away from numerous con-
testauts before it was finally down
ed in the center of some % youths
piling upon the poor little porker.
When the judges IMPLIED the heap
they found four Youngsters, each
with a strangle hold ON the pig. The
Judges were at odds to divide the
loot and finally turned the pig over
to the Youngsters with the instruc-
tions to fight it out on their own
lines. 1t was the end Of great
CAV 4OI Ndllt.N udl4 ihVh.

GLORIOUS TIME
in San DIEGO

Boy Scout Troop No. had q
grand and glorious weekend in San
Diego, returning last evening, tired
but joyous.
The lads, 81 strong, motored to

them fer one hour. They were treat
ed to ice cream, candy and soda
and were extended every hospital
ity by the Elks.
When the troop was marshalled
upon the stage. of Pantages theater
to sing scout songs the boys were
introduced as the Imperial Valley $
best crop. They responded by sing
ing Gel Centro' and a group of
Scout songs to the vociferous pleas
ure of the Saturday matinee audi
encc. Then, through the courtesy
of the management, the troop was
invited to remain to see the show.
The boys spent the night at the
Indian Village which San Diego has
equipped for its Boy Scouts, The
background of real Indian camp
fits in with the boys work in scout
ing and forms an ideal place for the
lads to pursue their group activities,
according to Mr. McCrory. The

RURAL DEVELOPMENT UNDER
GOING GREAT CHANGE

In its As years OF existence. the
electric industry has reached not
only every urban community OF any
Importance in the United States with
light and power service, but rural
electrification on a national scale is
today an accepted fact.
On January 1, 1927, the National
Electric Light Association estimated
that $4,000 farms received electric
service from utility company distri-
button lines.
Electricity Eliminates the farm
house, barns, garage, poultry houses
and other buildings, heats the incu-
bator and water for animals and
poultry during the winter, operates
the electric range, electric iron,
toaster, vacuum cleaner and other
household conyeniences; but, per-
haps, it renders its greatest service
on the farm in furnishing power for
Smelling and grinding corn, thresh-
ing barley, separating milk. cutting
ensilage and fodder, stufing sausa-
ges, milking cows, churnlng butter,
etc. A recent survey showed over
100 farm uses for electricity, and the
list is being enlarged daily.
Donald Affieck, in Central Hudson
Bulletin, sums it up thusly: THE
real contribution which electricity
has made to rural development lies
in the fact that it has raised the
standard of living in outlying sec
lions by removing much of the
drudgery connected with the every
day duties of the farmer, and in
bringing to him and his family most
of the conveniences commonly assoc
lated with life in urban communi-
ties"

FROM CHAOS TO COSMOS

'.At the present we are in the
midst of apparent political confu-
sion,o said Charles Evans Hughes in
a recent address. ut may seem
that we ought to be able to get
along in our political parties with
less internal strife. l have come to
believe that that is the law Of ma
ture; not simply the law Of political
action, but it is law of the un1-
verse. There was a time when
scientists in search for the ultimate
and the unavoidable, thought that
they had discovered it in the atom,
as an indivisible unit. Now it is ap-
preciated that the atom is great
world in itself with electrons con-
stantly clashing with each other.
ssAs has been well said, the pro-
gress of the universe is from chaos
into cosmo. We all know in our
political institutions, il these politi-
cal electrons clash with each other
for a certain length of time, there
will be progress from what seems to
be choas into cosmos and we shall
finally achieve certain degree OF
political stability"

TYPHOID BECOMING a RURAL
DISEASE

Every season brings its own re-
sponsibility to the health officer and
at this time of the year, the proven
ton Of typhoid looms especially
large in the thoughts and plans of
the up-to-datet health officer r. H.
Riley, Director Of the State Depart
ment of Health said recently in dis
cussing seasonal sickness.
Y 1.-THE main sources of typhoid"
he said, .are water, milk, flies, fih-
gers and food. The disease is al
ways contracted by way OF the
mouth--through contaminated wat
er, milk or other food, and the living
germ that causes the disease comes
from the discharges from the intes--
tines or bladder of someone who has
been ill with typhoid. These dis
charges eventually have passed into
streams or wells, polluting the water
supplies, or they have contaminated
the Soil in places where the sewage Is
not properly cared for. Polluted
drinking water is not the only
source of danger. The disease is
also spread by flies, carrying the
germs from sewage to food, through
uncooked and unwashed food;
through milk and other foods hand
led by typhoid carriers-persons OF
careless habits who have recovered
from the disease but who still ex-
crete the germs.
Twenty or. twenty-five years ago,
the disease was as common in the
cities as in the country. But with
the installation of water and sewer
age systems in cities and towns the
danger to city people of contracting
typhoid has become rural disease,
and very large proportion OF the
cases we have in Maryland occur in
scattered rural communities, that
are out of reach of adequately pro-
ltected water supplies.
1.-The present laws concerning the
sanitary supervision of our water
way went into effect in 1914 and a
gradual decrease in typhoid in the
entire state dates back to that year.
lAbout three-fourths of the total pop
ulation of the state is now served by
water supplies protected against
contamination and slowly but surely,
| the protection is being extended.
But there will always be some scat
tered communities that cannot be
reached by these protective mea-
sures. For the benefit of such per-
sons, the State Department of Health
has prepared designs for sewage dis
posal plans for private homes not
connected with publicly controlled
waterways. Copies of the plans
with advice in regard to modifica-
lions which may be required accord
| ing OF the slope of the land and the
character of the soil may be obtained
by writing to the State Department
of Health, 16, West Saratoga St..

Ely no FIGHT BEETLE

Dispatched to work vengeful de-
struction among the Japanese beetle
population nearly 1000 flies, known
to the entomologist as centeters,
were released in Harrisburg, Pa,
July 2. The liberation was made
under the auspices of the Bureau OF
plant Industry, State Department OF
Agriculture.
The centeter lays its eggs upon
the thorax of the female beetle, the
grubs Matching readily and pentra-
ting the beetles body, where they
destroy both eggs and adult beetle.
Entomologists regard the flies as the
most important hope in the field OF
beetle eradication. The flies were
valued at one dollar each.
The centeter fly is about as large
as the common housefiy. The
young, boring into the beetle thorax,
cause death in five to seven days.
The parasite was first established in
New Jersey in 1923, and has spread
over an area of approximately sew
enty-five square miles.
In northern Japan, where the
nv is normally found, it is parasitic
on from 40 to 80 per cent of the
Japanese beetles. The fly is harm
less except to Japanese beetles.

HEROES AND LEADERS

Sir Philip Gibbs in series OF ar,
ticles written for the New York
Times is deploring the fact that
heroes are many; leaders few"
And the heroes are those OF physical
achievement, winners in air fights.
in tennis, boxing, running; in base
ball or bootball.
"In any public restaurant any
one of these people" (the winners)
would cause sensation il pointed
out to the company-no such reward
come to those who devote their lives
to the good of humanity or to sci
entifc research and the quest OF
truth"
.sThis adulation of professional
championship and this mere worship
of beef and Drawn are out OF proper
ton to the honor paid to men and
women who give some spiritual or
intellectual lead to life."
"My little portrait of American
heroes now living includes Mr.. kel-
logg for his scheme of outlawing
war, which sounds pretty good to
me, though difficult to work; Mr..
Hoover for what he did when the
American Relief Association was
saving the starving millions OF Eu-
rope; and Mr.. Hughes; and Henry
Ford. This is poor list. There
must be others"
"The truth is, fear, that we can
not get leadership if we do not want
it. Leaders are produced by the
spirit of their age, and our age is
mostly interested in having good
time at all costs, and avoiding
thought as much as possible. Pro-
fessional sport, the latest stunt, the
applause Of the crowd for some fell
low who gets in the quickest time
from one place to another are not
likely to produce national leaders
who dare tell the truth or who are
inspired by some spiritual genius.
That is a gloomy thought.
"The cheerful hope is that IN all
nations to-day, however lacking In
great leadership, there are large
numbers of men and women, mostly
unknown, who are doing fine and
splendid work without any desire for
publicity beyond the sense OF service
to their fellow beings and whose In
telligence and character are pushing
humanity toward the next stage OF
our long journey-uphill."

During the past eight years Amer
Ican railroads have spent $323,7Ol,-
900 of new capital for safety pur-
poses. All but $22,395,OOO OF this
nas been spent voluntarily without
orders from any commission.
In the past few years continuous,
undeviating progress has been made
with the result that the present ac-

A branch of great road recently es-
abolished a record by operating over
1876 days without a reportable acci-
dent, and during 1927 an important
line transported over 10 million
passengers an average of l07.a?

a train accident. Other lines have
made equally admirable progress
