Warm Weather
Relief Gained
By Attic Fan

At this time of year household
ers begin to look forward to hot,
sultry Summer days with trepida-
ton. Memories of hot sleepless
nights disturb the thoughts Of
many home owners as the warm
breezes of Spring appear.
The experience of reputable
heating contractors during the
past few years indicates that for
the family of moderate means the
attic fan is the cheapest and most
practical way to cool house.
Because of its large capacity, an
attic fan Will quickly exhaust the
warm air from the rooms on the
first and second floors and replace
it with cool night air A complete
change of air many times an hour
can be obtained at nominal cost
The attic fan has the further ad'
vantage of low installation cost

Golf Club News

The Executive Committee of the
Coolidge Golf Club consummated
new lease this week for the
present course This lease runs for
a year, with an option to renew
for an additional year, it was an
nounced by ]. Phil Claridge, secre-
tary-treasurer of the club.
The new proposed modified s
curve on the Phoenix-Tucson high
way will cut through the center of
our No. and No. Fairways. Con-
struction, however, will not be
started until sometime in the late
fall or early winter. This will
cause the loss of No. 7 green, but
by rearranging a couple of holes
and building a new short No. 8
hole, we will have as good a golf
course as we now have.
The course is now in fine
condition due to the recent rain,
so every golf member should pay
his 1910 dues and be able to en-
joy the course to the fullest ex-
tent.
Handicap and club champion
ship tournaments for both men and
women are being scheduled for
the near future. All local golfers
are requested to turn in their five
best scores to date on the Coo
lidge course so that a proper
handicap system may be devised.

The Low Down
From Hickory Grove

I see. where in Oklahoma the
Governor has been counting his
change, and you know, he is up
on his ear. Says those swivel
chair slicker boys down on the
high and mighty Potomac short
changed him. They owe Oklahoma
$50 thousand, he says, and until
they work over the cash he IS
gonna close down the show. They
been messin' around in his state
OH another one of those dams
Ike they are putting in all over
the country.
Maybe those old boys there In
the Sooner State are quiet-acting
and friendly, but you rile 'em up
and pardner, they are bad medi-
cine,
We been kinda fooled all around
or this dam building business. Be
sides Oklahoma, the folks over in
Tennessee and out in Oregon and
lots of places, they are scratching
their heads and feeling dubious.
Getting short-changed 2 bits at
the side-show wagon, you can
charge it to fun and amusement,
but when it comes to $50 thous-
and, Oklahoma, she starts shoot
in.
Yours with the low down.

Red Terror Grips
Poland Capitol Told
BY Joseph H. Baird

WASHINGTON, March 28.-
A virtual "reign of terror" com
parable to that in Russia follow
ing the Bolshevik revolution of
1917, has been carried out by Sow
let officials in the Russian-occupi.
ed section of Poland, according to
authoritative reports received in
Washington today.
Hundreds of Polish landlords
and other Poles of the monied
or official classes have been sum
marily executed, these reports
said
BANKS, HOMES RAIDED
According to the same advices'
Moscow's agents have empt1ed
Polish banks and have systemati-
cally raided homes of the well-to-
do, stripping them of silverware'
art works and everything Of pos
sible value.
Polish peasants, spurred on py
political agents from Moscow, nave
burned scores of manor houses ana
confiscated the land of their form
er owners. it was reported.
So intense is the terror now
gripping eastern Poland it was
said. that numbers of Jews nave
been caught attempting to escape
into German-occupied sections OF
Poland, preferring to brave the
dangers of Nazi anti-Semitism
rather than live under Russian
rule.
Because of Soviet press censor
ship and a ban on travel by fore
ign correspondents in the Russian
area of Poland, very little news OF
conditions there since the Soviet
occupation has reached the outside
world.

pasture near Lexington.
Mr.. Watson was knocked down by
