THE CITY SCHOOLS
Another Year Closes With Greater
Achievements.

The commencement exercises OF the
city public schools began last Monday
night with program Of entertainment
including several numbers by Mr.. Own
by's. class, under the direction of Mr..
Ownby. There were some very interest
ing piano and vocal selections. Every
one of the students showed the evidence
of careful instruction apd training.
Among the more notable renditions
were by Miss Bonner, Miss Palmer and
Miss Burrus. The compositions by
Paderewski, Raft and List were han
died with facility and ease and with a
great deal of color and feeling. The
pupils all deported themselves with the
greatest credit The program follows:

Part second was conducted by Mrs.

certainly an interesting contribution to
the evenings entertainment. Several
very singy and popular airs were de-
hghtfully rendered. Among these were
the songs by Miss Morris, Miss Dircks,
Miss Griffin and Miss Mailing. Miss
Mailing was the queen, and queenly
one. The program follows:

The High School.

The exercises on Tuesday night began
with prayer by Rev. Sellers, who also
was commissioned by the class with the
duty of presenting a bouquet to the
Superintendent, which he did in the
most graceful and deferential manner,
and then the class numbers were intro
duced with the salutatory by Miss Flor
ence Lucille Lane, subject Where Hon
or Lies.
Miss Lane reviewed the work of the
past four years, eulogizing the teachers,
the Board of Education and the people
of Union City for their hearty cooper
alton in making the High School a
great success. She realized every act
was to the advantage of the school and
welcomed the audience, hoping their
presence is an earnest Of future endeayor.

The first nights program included
exercises by the Grammar School Glass,
with salutatory by Miss Harriet Beck
ham and valedictory by Miss Margaret
Porter. These were both very fine. The
young ladies are to be complimented
for their compositions and addresses.
Miss Wingo presonted the class to
Superintendent Mute, with expressions
of attachment and pride in these young
people. The class roll is as follows:
Theresa Arm, Harriet Beckham, Mark
Butler, Mai Erskine Cherry, Marie
Lockhart, Sadie MCLEAN, Easily Penick,
Roberta Tisdale, Georgia Usry, Gilmore
Williams, Jennie Gayle, Nina McCon-
nell, Alice Nash, Margaret Porter.
Superintendent Mute, in accepting
the class, paid the young people very
creditable tribute. He stated that they
had completed the eight-year course
with the best results ever yet
achieved in the school. In arith-
metic the class stood five per cent
higher than the Texas grammar schools
and ten per cent higher than those of
Massachusetts. The record was 80
per cent, while that of Texas was IS and
Massachusetts 80. The present stand
ard of entrance to the class is now 65.
In awarding the diplomas Mr.. Mute
mentioned the baby of the class, Mark
Butler, who had made the most re-
markable progress for his tender years.
This completed the first nights ex-

WHY HENS LAY EGGS WITHOUT
SHELLS.

There are several reasons for this,
and while shelless eggs are generally
attributed to lack of sufficient she'll
forming material being supplied to the
hens, in nine cases out of ten improper
feeding is at the root of the mischief.
This is demonstrated repeatedly by the
fact that, even where shell-forming
matter is supplied in abundance, hens
will still lay shelless eggs. In that case
we must look further afield for the
cause.
A great deal of mischief is done
ny feeding on over-stimulating foods
and the reckless use of condiments
which over excite the ovary, and in
flame the lining membranes of the
oviduct. In this way the egg-produc-
ing organs are stimulated to excessive
production with the result that the
oviduct becomes diseased and those
organs which produce the mineral mat
ter for the Smelling of the egg are too
deulltated to perform their function
properly. 1t is worthy of note that
fowls suffering from Inflammation of
the oviduct often lose the use of their
legs, the trouble being frequently at
tributed to cramps.
A very common cause Of shelless
eggs is internal fat, which blocks the
walls of the oviduct and impairs it's
functions. Worms in the hens in
testines sometimes lead to eggs being
expelled before they are properly
shelled. Narrow perches are also re-
sponsible for shelless eggs, the eggs
being dropped prematurely, owing to
the struggle of the fowls to retain
their balance. Similarly, fright will
cause a fowl-more especially pull
lel-to expel the egg before it is ready.
When a fowl has acquired the habit
of laying shelless eggs there should
be complete change of diet. All soft
food, except what is cooked, or juicy
vegetables, which may be freely sup
piled, should be withheld for a time
and grain only be given. Enough Ep-
som salts should be added to the
drinking water to make it taste family
saline, and for few days the fowl
should be housed in a quiet place. To
help steer clear of shelless eggs al
ways supply the fowl with plenty of
hlnt grit and guard against internal
la. by feeding moderately-two meals
a day are ample-giving plentiful
supply of green stuff. Perches must
be of the proper size, and, above all,
leave condiments and all that sort of
things severely alone.-W. R. Gilbert.

lice start forth on their ravages. Good
results will be obtained from keeping
the poultry house in good condition
and seeing that the bodies of the
fowls are rid of the lice. All kinds of
remedies may be suggested, but the
advertised ones, If advertised in re-
liable poultry paper, are of great val
ue and are as cheap as any that could
be made at home. They do the work
of destroying the lice, and if they
were not of any value the manufacture
ers could not afford to sell them, for
in a little time they would lose the
reputation of the article and their
business would be dead. Try some
good, well-advertised lice killer, use
it exactly according to directions, and
you will find that great deal of time
will be saved and the work done as
effectively as with a homemade prep
aration.

When milk is condensed, 1t has a
relatively higher per cent of butter
fat than before, and owing largely to
it's appearance in this respect, and the
preference of the manufacturers, 1t
was called CONDENSED cream" The
new pure food law, however, has ruled
against this, inasmuch as the product
put out is really condensed milk, and
not condensed cream. The law re-
quires that the product be labeled
true to name.
