Captain Clark D. Stearns' deci-
sion, just made, not to enter the
race for mayor is likely to leave
the field to the three candidates
who have already entered. A peti,
ton signed by many local voters
was presented to the captain some
time ago urging him to give the
matter serious thought and when
he had decided to let them know.
In his answer the captain said he
had given the matter much seri
Gus thought, and eventually de-
cided to remain active in the
other capacities in which he is
now engaged, than to enter the
mayoralty race at this time.

Mrs. Henry Ahart
Named to Help in
Farm Medical Aid

Farm bureau and home depart
ment members are greatly inter-
ested in the announcement that
Mrs. Henry w. Ahart of Lincoln
has been appointed to a nation
vide committee to formulate re-
concentrations for bringing ade-
quate medical aid to rural COM
munities.
Mrs. Ahart is state chairman for
the home department and is well
known to valley rural leaders since
she has visited here often and
spoken at both farm bureau and
home department meetings. She
is a pioneer farm bureau leader
and her appointment, made by
Edward O'Neal, president of the
American Farm Bureau federation,
is in recognition of her previous
work in this line which she has
done in California.
Associated with Mrs. Ahart on
the committee are: Mrs. Charles
w. Sewell of Indiana, administra-
tive director of the Associated
Women of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation: H. P. King, pres
ident of the New York state fed
Grafton; Frank w. White, president
of the Minnesota federation, and
Ben Kilgore, executive secretary for
the Kentucky state federation.
Group medicine for rural COM
munities, as a program for organiz-
ed agriculture, was initiated by the
Los Angeles county farm bureau
under the direction of Mrs. f. T.
Jaroch, general chairman of that
organizations health committee.
At the present tSne farm bureau
members of California are watch
ing the progress Of two measures
before the California legislature
which have been prepared by the
federation. One asks the legisla-
ture TO provide definite and prac-
tical legal status governing the op-
Grafton of voluntary ethical medi-
cal groups; the other bill asks the
legislature to make it possible for
any county in the state to set up
a system of disqualification for pay
and part-pay patients in county
unsupported hospitals.

Melons Sought
To Fit IcebOXes

A watermelon to fit the aver
age refrigerator is something which
the United States Department of
Agriculture hopes to develop in
its new vegetable breeding labor
atory near Charleston, S. C.
There is a place, the Bureau of
Plant Industry recognizes, for
enormous melons that grow in
size like fish stories of the one
that got away. But the huge mel
onS are unsuited for consumers
who cannot chill them whole.
A melon is too large if the FAM
lily cannot consume most of it at
a single slicing. 1t is too large if
it is necessary to cut it to get it
into the refrigerator, for a melon
cut before it is chilled loses quality.
Other qualities desired in water
melons are: A tough (but not
thick rind for shipping, disease
resistance, and, of course, delicious
flavor Seed of melons from Asia
and Africa may contribute some of
these qualities, but for flavor
breeders know no melons better
than the best OF the American
varieties.
