Signal Tells Of Fins New School Build
ing. Other Items.

Monday morning marked the formal
opening of the new school building to
the faculty and pupils, who will here
after enjoy the comforts and conven-
fences embodied in the new structure.
Professor Crockett, assisted by the jan
itor, Garland Percifull and a number
Of the pupils, were engaged all day
Saturday, moving the desks from the
old building and placing them in the
new. Everything was in readiness for
the continuance of school work on Mon
day morning.
The new edifice was built at cost
of $4,000 to the citizens of Sites, and
taxpayers who have inspected the
structure since completion, inform us
that they are well pleased with its ap-
pearance and practicability. 1t is one
story high, built of red pressed brick
on concrete foundation, contains four
large rooms and an office for the prin.
cipal's use. A hallway runs through
the width of the building. The floor
and woodwork is of Iir, oiled and
stained a golden oak; the contrast with
the hard finish plaster giving the whole
interior that desirable simple pleasing
effect Four large windows-the upper
half of prism glass and the lower half
of plate glass, allow for sufficient
light and ventilation, so essential in
every school, Two sides of the walls,
IN each class room are covered with
five foot blackboard. Built-in lock-
ers and bookcases are conveniences
found lacking in the old building. 1t
is heated with hot blast furnace,
which consumes either wood or coal.
Plumbing has been installed and wash
stand has been placed in the hallway,
accessible to all the patrons of the
school.
Ground surrounding the building will
be raked and cleaned of stones and
building refuse and sown to grass;
trees will be planted, which will en-
nance the beauty of the building. The
vacant lots in the rear will be utilized
as Fairgrounds for the school children.
ALI told, the new school house is a
credit to the builder, James Allen,
as a perpetual criterion of his
and the progressive spirit
Of our citizens.

In this way the plants affected with

In this way the plants affected with
the Fusarium blight which causes dry
rot in storage as well as those affected
with the early and late blights are
eliminated from the seed. Then the
seed tubers are selected from the hills
having at least certain number OF me-
dunn sized tubers of the type desired,
avoiding all hills with diseased tubers,
all hills with rough and second-growth
tubers, all hills with rough and second
tubers, all hills with small tu-
bers and all hills with large over grown
tubers.
1t is important to select for yield as
well as quality or type; consequently
one should not select seed tubers from
d hill that has only two or three tu-
hers, even though these may be ideal
in size and type. Special conditions
of available soil moisture and soil fer
tiity will determine the best yield to
select for. If the field is to be dug
with a machine, the discarded tubers
and hills are left covered up in the
row.
This kind OF selection will yield big
returns, if it is Tracticed year after
year on the same variety. Seed pota-
toes selected in this way are sure to
be in demand. Then, too, we need just
this kind of work in all parts of the
state to build producing state.

Suggestions for Selecting Seed Potatoes


Every variety of potato is composed
of number of strains. These strains
are manifested in various ways; as low
yielding, heavy yielding, round tubers,
oval tubers, long slender tubers, flat
tubers, tubers with shallow eyes, others
with deep eyes, etc. 1t is possible by
the hill method to select certain COM
binations of these characters as heavy
yielding, shallow-eyed round tubers, or
heavy-yielding, shallow-eyed long tu-
bers, and by SO doing a desirable type
OF heavy yielding potato may be OBJ
tanned. BY the Jurisdiction method
which is practiced by most farmers,
one may obtain a certain type of tuber
but he cannot make much progress in
increasing the yield. On the other
hand, by the hill selection method the
yield can be greatly increased.
The hill-selection method is practiced
as follows: The digger goes along the
potato rows and digs with fork only
those hills with one or two good thrifty
stems, placing the tubers of every hill
on the ground separate from those Of
every other hill.

Professionalism In France.

According to an article in the Revue
the number of Protestants in France
is decreasing. They now number 700,-
600. The Lutherans, who numbered
more than a quarter of a million in
1870, can now boast of a membership
of only $4,000 in France. The Calvin
lists are the most numerous sect left,
numbering over half a million. But
they are losing ground. At the same
time the political influence of the
French Professionals is out of all pro-
portion to their numbers This the
writer attributes to their superior
system of education, and above all TO
their great wealth Their wealth has,
however ended to sap theirexclusiye-
ness. t.. now pay less attention 10
their religion. and the result is, says
the writer in the Reyue, that Protesr
tantism In France will In the near fu-
ture be a thing OF the past This Is
a rather bold conclusion. and II would
be interesting to know II this alleged
decrease in the Huguenots Is correct

SOMETHING OF A NUISANCE
Mr. FatherIy Comes to the Front
With Some Remarks About
Mammals New Footstool.

"The only Christmas gift whose
presence in the house regret" said
Mr.. Fatherly, is a footstool which our
girls gave to mamma.
Mother is not an old lady, but the
girls thought II would be nice for her
to have sometime to put her feet up
on and then think that as a sort OF
subsidiary idea they had fancy that
II would look well in the house.
Il am not familiar with footstool
architecture and so l don't know Of
just what design this one is, whether
it's Louis XIV. or Louis V. or what;
but / know it's built of mahogany, is
oblong in shape, upholstered in green,
has carved legs With claw feet and
that for It's size 1t is a pretty solid
piece of furniture,
= ION Christmas night when the girls
put that footstool under mammals feet
Isn't that lovelyT they said, and
mamma said 1t was perfectly beautiful
and she sat with her feet on it for the
rest of that evening. But she has
never used it since; she isn't foot
stool lady yet.
"Then the girls began setting that
footstool around in our parlor or in
our library, where they thought it
would appear to advantage and where
it would, by its presence, enhance
the attractiveness of our outfit. 1t
has been during this time, while the
girls were placing the footstool around
here and there to see how it would
look, that / have become best &C
quainted with it by stubbing my toes
against 1t.
For, you see, 1t was new to me,
and then, with the girls forever shift
ing it around, really it seemed as if l
couldn't go anywhere in those two
rooms without falling over that foot
stool.
Just now the girls have got that
footstool under the piano bench; they
are trying to see how it looks there.
The bench is of mahogany and 1t has
curved legs and claw feet, like the
footstool's, and in a way the two
pieces of furniture do harmonic. |
hope that this harmony will appeal to
the girls strongly. and that there I'M
der the piano bench, for long time,
they will let this curiously, one might
almost say Indignantly, obstructive
footstool remain"

Proof Of the Man shakespeare.

Sir Sidney Lee, the eminent Shake

sions of Ernest Law, who has endeav-
ored to prove that certain documents
in the public record Office in London
relating to Shakespeare, which were
long supposed to be impudent forg-
cries. are, after all, genuine. The
documents concern the production of
some Of Shakespeare's plays at the
courts Of Queen Elizabeth and King
James. Sir Sidney remarked In a
speech at the annual meeting of the
Shakespeare birthday trustees that
'the fact that in these documents
Shakespeare lie mentioned categorical

should be specially interesting. If a

PURSUING Woman.

Whatever the law of man may at
tempt or achieve in the way Of re.
forming the harmless, necessary
bachelor, there is higher natural
law of quest and capture Wilhelm
the opinion of expert feminologists-
the predatory woman rather than the
comparatively timid and quiescen4
man fulfills. Nowadays woman is the
pursuer, man is the pursued. The
luckless wight who hopes to escape
the mantraps and springs of matri-
mony has need of all his cunning;
there is no safety but in retreat; he
is no match for the devious cunning
of the huntress who has marked the
game for her own. Mr.. Man may take
refuge in splenetic lyrics about The
Female Of the Species, or The YAM
pire, but that is his sole satisfaction.
The woman spins her web and smiles
and is demure; she knows that he
may fling his caustic epigram about
The Serpent's Tongue, but-clever
arachnoid that she is-she will have
him at the last. She can afford to
bide her time and be patient, for
whether it be leap year or some other
year, her net will enmesh him and he
will grant whatever she desires, even
to the extent of letting her vote or go
to congress or be presi6ent.-Phila-

THINGS WE'RE ASHAMED Or


Isn't it queer the sort Of things we
are ashamed Of? queries a western
woman writer. How often do we hear
people apologizing profusely because
they happen to live in an unfashion-
able part Of town. They will explain
and explain ad nauseam how they
came to be living in that house and
how very awkward II is having that
class of neighbors.
have come to the conclusion II is
little short Of crime not to live In
the fashionable part Of the city.
And then relations. Everybody
seems to be ashamed of at least one
relation. In most cases the only ones
they are proud OF are dead ones, a
long time dead, and very remote re-
lations at that. But the living rela'
lions always seem to be cause OF
shame-they never will live in the
right districts, build the right kind
of house. bring up their children sty'
lishly or indulge in the right kind OF
trade. Female relations will insist
upon marrying undesirable husbands
and male relations always manage to
acquire vulgar or dowdy wives.
One stylish lady is wont to sigh
elegantly as she murmurs poor dear
George-peculiar wife, you know; I've
tried, but really can't include them
in my social affairs, you know"
But of all the shameful shame pro
ducers the behavior Of our babies is
the shamiest.
Our babies always will dirty their
pinnies, ask for candy, wipe jammy
fingers on the visitors coat, demand
attention persistently and vociferous
ly, knock over the tea cups, spread
the cake crumbs all over the best
carpet and perpetrate all the Other
hundred and one misdemeanors that
the dear lambs are heir to. They al
do it sometimes and they all do il
always on the days we earnestly
yearn for them to make a good i'm
preston.
So why are we ashamed Of them
for being normal? Why do we all ex
plain at great length how Tommy
never behaves like this on, ordinary
occasions and why do we persist II
being mortified so poignantly Tex

Herring on Maine Coat.

II is now fully evident that no moro
herring will be caught on the Maine
coast until spring There have been
practically none landed within the

will stop any that might be along this
way.
1t is a singular fact. but the herring
are not found after there has been
