When you have made a whole regi-
ment of either kind, get your cannons
ready. The cannons are made of
spools, whose fiaring ends have been
cut off, or of pieces of bamboo, which
will give a chance for larger muzZles.
Fasten a piece of elastic on the spool,
laying each end of the elastic one one
side of the spool. and winding it Sc
curely with sewing silk.
Lay the spool on the block that has
been slightly followed out for it, and
wind it with stout slender cord. Make
a plunger to fit the hole in the spool
the round part being just the same
length. Leave a square block at the
end to stop the plunger when shoot
ing Fit the elastic around this square
end and the cannon is ready. Use
dried peas for ammunition.
Now all Is ready for the game,
which is played by two. Divide the
soldiers, and have a cannon for each
side. Stand the soldiers up, and let
each side take turns shooting After
a certain number of rounds have been
shot off, the one having most men
standing Is victorious.

DIPLOMA GIVEN BLIND BOY
Young Man of Baltimore Finishes Mu
steal Course and Is Graduated
With Honors.

An unusual feature Of the advanced
students concert at the Peabody Con-
servatory was the comforting Of a
teachers certificate upon Elmer Vogts,
pupil Of the Maryland Institute for
the Blind who was one of the most
successful applicants for this honor,
having completed his musical course
in three years.
Mr.. Vogts, a Baltimorean, who is Il
years old, lost his sight when he was
ten years old by a breakdown of the
optic nerve. He entered the Mary
land School for the Blind in 1902, and
has passed through both the primary
and grammar school departments TAX
ing, in addition, a stiff course in man
ual training, physical culture and
music. Three years ago he was grad
uated from the eighth grade, and has
been studying in the Peabody Insti-
tute ever since. Early in life he de-
veloped a taste for music, and before
he lost the use of his eyes was an ac-
complished performer on the violin.

sows, such as are sometimes kept by
breeders, may need more room, but
the producer of pork will not need

By means of the patent self-locking

down beside the frame. My windmill
cost me $54 but good mill can be
purchased for $27.50 and up.
Counting the three months that

three hours work per day at 10 cents
per hour which is the minimum wages
for farm hands, the windmill will save
$27-half the price Of the mill, while
it would cost me that amount If | did

There are several other Advantages
that the windmill is to the farm. It
can be attached to the grindstone, the
cream separator, churn, etc, making

on the farm.

called by President H. II. Denny Of

Wednesday evening, TO protest against
the putting into effect Of the order of
the state board Of qusllzation for the
assessment of property this year on
the market value basis, instead Of on
the basis Of S3 la per cent as hereto
fore.
The objection is taken that owing to
the law fixing thespemenlage Of the
valuation to be levied for certain state
purposes. this cannot be reduced as
can the regular state levy the result
being that tho purposes for which the
special leyies are fixed Will receive
revenue three times as large as need

county and state purposes will have to
be advanced 10 make up for the de-
ficiency. The actual increase In tax

of which Mill be paid into the state
