II Is to BE- Not Less Than Six Months Nor
More Than Seven Months.
At recent meeting OF the state board
of education a revision of the school
term was decided upon.
AT previous meeting of the board t
was decided that the term be made six
and half months in view of the in
creased appropriation.
At the last meeting the question was
again taken up and it was agreed that the
term in each county should not b. }ess
than six months or more than seven
months.
The basis of all terms are fixed at six
months, but IN all cases where the coun-
ty boards are DESTROYS Of holding over
for longer term they are authorized E.,
make such request of the state school
commissioner.
This step was decided upon in view of
the fact that since the last census was
taken the number of school children has
materially increased, and some more
suitable arrangement. was made neces-
sary.

Ever since Joe Henley made his perilous

she rode along on tho outside Of the rail -

performance and one that is not likely to
be oqualed soon.
Miss Dewitt rode light racer The tires

knowing that in 10 other way could she

she swerycd slightly, and for few feet
the wheel rushed along within an inch Of
the edge of the ties, but the girl was cool,
and in moment she was in control OF
her wheel and finished the trip without
further danger The greatest peril was in
the depressions feet wide which exist at
regular intervals from one end of the
bridge to the other. But she crossed all Of

MOVEMENT FOR LESS COTTON
ANOTHER SCHEME TO CUT OFF THE
ACREAGE,
Congressman, Merchants, Bankers and
Planters to Be Asked to Give Sup
port to the Movement

Price, Mccormick & Co, prominent
cotton brokers of New York, have
prepared a plan for the organization
of American Cotton Growers Mutual
Protective Association, whose effort
shall be directed towards reducing the
acreage add increasing the price of
cotton in the United States.
A circular letter detailing the scheme
was prepared last week by the firm and
sent to every member of congress from
the southern states. The letter invited
senators and representatives to become
members of the advisory committee of
the pr posed ASSOCIATION. The firm
has received replies from a number of
congressman who are willing to become
members of the committee.
The letter points out the distressing
conditions as a result of the low price
of cotton, and asks their moral and ac-
tive support in a scheme to bring
about a sufficient reduction in next
seasons acreage to prevent repeti-
tion of OverprOduCtion, thereby plac-
ing the south in a position to become
practically the price arbiter and to
Wrest this power from Great Britain
and the continent, which they have so
long enjoyed.
No funds will be necessary. CHORAL
suasion will be brought to bear on all
leading planters of the south, looking
toward The desired end, through the
most influential merchants or bankers
IN each township in the cotton belt
with WHOM we shall enter into cores
pOndenCe just as soon as we shall have
been able TO enlist the cooperation of
such influential gentlemen at the south |
as Will give the scheme dignity and |
and thereby entitle it to the fullest !
confidence Of the entire community. !
DlverslticatiOn of crops is especially
aimed at, inasmuCh as this will make !
the planters practically Independent, !
so far as the neceSSaries of life are con-
cerned, and leave them their cotton
crop as cash commodity"
Theodore Price of the firm SAYS re- |
garding the proposed organization !: |
The idea is that if the American Cot /
ton Growers Mutual Protective Asso- |
clation is former its administration |
shall be in the hands of practical |
thorOugh-gOing business men of CAPT |
tai, both north and south, as well as |
representatives. of cotton purchasers |
The object of the association would I
not only be to effect industrial econo- |
mics, but to promote more thorough |
education as well. Sub organizations |
to include each cotton producing cOun- |
ty in the south would be formed, |
which, as associate communities, |
would exchange views with other such |
organizations. Better methode of |
culture would be introduced, the most |
economical methods of production, |
marketing and distribution would be |
availed of, and generally an effort
would be made to apply the broad |
principle of intelligent cooperation |
and mutual education"
Mr.. Price said the money necessary
to thorough test of this idea would |
be forthcoming provided the prelimi-
nary attempt which his firm is now
making TO obtain the moral support of
men prominent in the southern states
results as anticipated.

BLOWN OUT 10 SEA.
Helpless Birds That are Driven to Doa;'

Birds driven before the wind are toss

wings and siuk so close to the ground
as to get the protecting shelter of a

Of side evoluUionS, flying at right angles

hurricane, where some Of them have
been picked up by fishermen. In nearly
all such instances they are caught by
the gale when high in the air, and be-
fore they can recover themselves they,
are hurried out beyond the shore and
dropped into the water. With their
plumago soaked with the spray they in
stantly become helpless and cannot
reach the shore In the face of the wind.
On our inland lakes and rivers this is a
more common sight than along the
ocean shore.
When once blown out to sea, the
shore birds have little chance Of escape.
Unable to battle against the heavy
wind they yield themselves to their
fate and drift about until the storm

to be SO far from shore that they cannot
reach it again, and they either fly Or
swim until they starve to death or die
