School Board MEETING.

Monday evenings special meeting OF
the borough school board was attended
by Directors Bell, Brogan, Buckley,
Isaac, McCole, McGeehan, Timony and
Slattery.
Principal j. E. Williams gave brief
outline of the plans prepared for the
graduating exercises and introduced
John Sipple, president Of the class, who
explained at length the requests of the
graduates.
The class asked the board for the
privilege of obtaining speaker for the
occasion; also that the rent Of the opera
house, cost of printing, music, etc, be
provided for.
The principals estimate of the expense
was that it would not exceed $40, which
sum could likely be secured by charging
small admission fee.
The board approved the suggestions
Of the principal and the requests of the
class, and agreed that If any deficiency
exists after paying the necessary ex-
penses the amount will be made good by
the board.
The date of the graduating exercises
will be between May and May 10.
The principal reported that four
teachers had arranged to conduct pay
school, as follows: Misses Rogan, Lind
say and Winter, in the Daniel Coke
building, and Mr.. Farrar, at East South
Heberton.
The question of providing heat and
was discussed at length. Bell moved to
procure two loads of coal for the pur
pose, but as Mr. Farrar has arranged to

provide his own fuel the motion did not
seem to meet the boards approval.
Mr.. Williams asked for partial leave
OF absence until June 1, with the under
standing that he shall return at the
call of the president or secretary, when
his services are needed by the board.
McGeehan asked If the pay of the
principal was to continue during his
absence. and the question brought out
the fact that the principal had not
signed the contract presented to him at
the opening Of the term. The principal
stated that he had asked for a modltca-
tion of the contract, but no action had
been taken by the board.
Timony expressed himself in favor of
continuing the High school another
month, to give those pupils who were
unable, by reason of the short term, an
opportunity to finish this years course.
Buckley favored the suggestion on the
would fit the High school first and
second-year pupils for advancement to
the courses which they are expected to
study next term. AS it is, these pupils
are not advanced sufficiently to stand
promotion.
Isaac opposed the reopening of the
High school, as it would necessitate the
buying of coal and the employmen of
the janitor another month. Bell also
opposed the proposition, and Mr.. Will
liams stated that he could not teach the
pupils of the High school without assist
ance.
The janitor question was then taken
up again and motion by Isaac to con
tinue his services until the end Of his
month and that the principal speak to
the teachers about purchasing coal was
carried without dissent.
A motion granting the principal leave
Of absence, subject to the call of the
board, was passed unanimously.

Tracing Rev. Bennett.

Those who are investigating the dis
appearance of Rev. A. p. Bennett, of
Lansford, at Harrisburg on March 49,,
have learned that he crossed the Sus-
quehanna bridge at Harrisburg on that
night, as he was seen at the Cum ber-
land Valley station at Bridgeport.
The station agent is positive he saw Mr..
Bennett. He does not remember, how
ever, whether Mr.. Bennett purchased a
ticket. The suicide theory has now
been abandoned.
1t has been learned that he removed
his clerical coat and donned sackcoat
His money and watch he took with him
The authorities are working on two
clues. He is either in the South or
West, and it is expected that the rnys-
terry will soon be cleared up. The sui
eide theory was never accepted by the
authorities, who claim that If the man
contemplated it he would not have TAX
en- with him the 5000 owed to the church
and conference.
The situation In the Bennett house
hole, at Lansford, is very pathetic
one. The four children, the Oldest be-
ing years, cry almost nightly for their
father, while the wife is heartbroken
under the strain.
Should he return it is claimed there
will be no prosecution on account of the
shortage, as Mrs. j. Z. Bennett, of Jer-
sey City, mother of the missing man, will
make good the deficiency

Their Claims INDICATED.

One of the arguments OF the miners,
in demanding another increase in wages,
is that the cost of living has been so
heavily increased since their 10 per cent
advance in October, 1900, that the bene-
fits then derived have disappeared. The
recent increases by the trusts In the
price OF meat, butter and other necessi-
ties is considered by the miners as full
vlndlcation OF their claims,

GEN. MAuoNE'S COw.-A story was
told during the war of COW that Gen.
Malone, of Virginia, insisted on taxi
ing with him, because he was a con-
iirmed dyspcptlc and thought he was
obliged to have a milk diet or maybe
die, for the lack of it.
General Lee was often bothered with
the COW. One day he said: "Gencral
Malone, We Will be obliged to leave
that COW bchind.'
"Can't do 1t, sir. If the COW stays
behind, | must resign"
SO the cow was actually along on
the day General Grant received the
surrender at Appomattox, and the COW
went along home with General Ma
hone to Petersburg.
The little general carried cooking
utensils and bedding with hlm ano

eating and sleeping in the amy.

Cheap Rations for Horses and
Mules.


TO tho Editor Of The Pcople's Journal.
Farmers from various sections Of tho
State have been writing asking about
mules on cotton seed meal and hulls and
also asking for cheaper ration than
| corn.
| The following prices are given in
| letter from Scranton, 3. c.: Corn, $40
per ton; oats, $d5 per ton: wheat bran,
f25 per ton; cotton seed meal, 1926 pcr
ton; rice meal, 1922 per ton. or course
corn and oats arc out Of tho question as
food for horses and mules at tho above
prices so something cheaper must be
looked for.
The analysis shows that rice meal has
about the samo composition as corn meal
and VIC have found that it is just as good
for feeding pigs. We have fod it to
horses with good results. | think wo
arc safe in say ing that it may bo used in
place of corn pound for Found.
If no hay or fodder is used in tho
ration and hulls arc rcsortcd to as rough
! ness somo heterogeneous food such as bran
or cotton seed meal must be used to
| supply protein. IIulls may be fed with
| out any further fear OF injury to the ami
NAL. Should they refuse TO cat the hulls
y little corn meal or bran sprinklod over
the surface will tempt them
good cheap ration may be made up
as follows;
Six pounds Of rico costing G.G cents;
four pounds Of wheat bran costing SO
cents; two pounds of cotton seed meal,
costing S cents ten pounds OF cotton
seed huls, costing 80 cents total cost
OF ration per day III.
The above is for u horse or mulo OF
900 pounds in live weight.
1t is evident tha! . ration made up Of
corn and fodder and containing the same
amount of digestiblc matter as the above
ration would cost much more than the
above.
The North Carolina experiment station
has fed cotton seed meal and hulls tC
horses with good results, but the expert
mcnts along this line have not been ex
Il tcnsivc enough to say that cotton scet
meal can be fed in unlimited Gnantitie
for any length Of time without injury t.
: the animal.
Numbers Of farmers, however, hav
y reported that they have fed cotton see
y meal to mules and horscs with goot
$ results.
