A Wonl to tin- Men
How would you feel If your wife
told you Hint this year you would
be compelled to work the farm wl'h
an ox and bull-tongue plow? It
would go tough, wouldn't It? So it is
tough for the housewife to take the
old fashioned rubboard and do the
family washing. Men, if you dou'.t
these statements, take a washboard
and try one washing that will be
enough to convince you. Now, why
not loosen up? Try an autocyclo wash

CHRISTIANS DEFEAT
RAPTISTS IX ItASKETRALL.
The basketball game Wednesday
evening between the Baptist and
Christian teams resulted In a victory
for the Christian quintet by a score
of '15-16. During the first half the
two teams played desperately, the
score standing 25-9 at the end
of this half. However, the Christians
showed their better staying qualities
when they came back in the second
half and played rings around their
opponents. Spectators state that the
Christian team showed better team
work in this stage of the game than
they have yet shown this season. A
beneficial change was made in this
team in switching Rratton and Fau
bion, the former from guard to for
ward and Faubion from forward to
guard. The Christians are now play
ing in better form than In the last
few games and it is certain the close
of the pennant race w ill be fierce and
close.
Friday evening the Methodists and
Presbyterians will meet In what is
sure to be an exciting contest.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20. Rob
ert J. Wldney, the Los Angeles real
estate broker, recently shot through
the stomach here while In the apart
ments of Mrs. Vivian Lyons, a prett
divorcee, appeared today In Juris

prosecute the woman.
'It was an a rldent pure and
simple," Wldney told the court. "It
would be doing this woman an In
justice to file n complaint against her.
I w ill not do so.
1 "I visited Mrs. Lyons on December

MEASURING HAY IN STACK
Reply to Andrew Wright, Sldewood,
Sask.: "Will you please send mo a
formula for measuring hay In the
tack?""'
For obtaining the number of ton
of hay in a stack, tho first step is to
measure the width and length with a
tape line, and then w hat is known as
the overthrow, that 1b, pass a tapo
'no from tho bottom of tho stark on
one side over to tho bottom on the
other side and divide this measure
ment which Is called the overthrow
by three, then multiply the length by
the width, and this by one-third of
the overthrow-this gives you the
number of cubic feet In the stack. Of
course, If the stack la different
widths or different heights you will
have to take the measurements in
several places and obtain the average
of Huso by adding them together and
dn Wini; by the number of measure
noiits made.
