LIGHTNING RODS WERE
TAKEN OFF SCHOOLS
Claimed They Offer No Real
Protection

New Orleans, Feb. 17.-Declaring
that lightning rods are a farce and a
waste of money, William NJ. Levy,
chairman of the Building Committee
of the New Orleans School Board, has
ordered the removal of rods from all
public schools in the city. Dealers
and agents are up in arms, as equip.
ment valued at $4,000 is placed
jeopardy, and they rely upon an ap
peal to the School Board from Levy.
decision.
I'VE believe" declared Chairma
Levy, that lightning rods are an ac,
tual menace because of improper in.
sulation and ground connections
About the only persons who benefit
are the contractors who erect the
rods and the repairmen. The public
doesn't take any stock in lightning
rods these days. AS a matter of fact
the devices will not attract lightning!
from distance of more than 40 feet
Trolley and electric lighting wires
that encircle the city are a mucn
greater protection"
City Architect Christy takes issue
with Levy, declaring that he followed
United States Government specifica-
tons and that glass insulation is ar
antiquated theory.

THIS MANS MUSTACHE
FROZE TO THE SIDEWALK

Newark, N. j., Feb. 17.-Matthew
QUINN of No. 179 Lafayette street. was
discovered peacefully sleeping with
his face pressed to the icy pavement
of the Market street station of the
Pennsylvania railroad. Patrolman
Flood, who made the discovery, seiz-
ed Quinn by the collar and tugged
hard to arouse him.
Quinn yelled with pain, as mis- face
still retained it's contact with the side
walk. His flowing mustache had be-
come frozen fast the icy pavement,
and his effort to arise at the police
mans command had separated him
from about half his facial decoration.

writes: I'VE would be only too glaC
to base our loans to the farmers OF
the condition that their cotton acre
age would be rs per cent, or even 81
per cent, of the last years acreage

in grain or something else"
Mr. Frank Sheffield, president

writes
Il have never been able to unde'
stand how the impression prevails
among'so many that if a farmer re
duces his cotton acreage, he wouI
automatically reduce his credit wit
his bank. 1t is my observation and ex
perience in a banking experience
more than twenty years that the farm
ers who raise hog, hominy and hay
as well as cotton, are in higher cred
standing than those whose smoke
house is the supply store and raisc
cotton exclusively.
only last week | made a loan t
! a progressive young farmer who tol
me that he would not plant an acr,
OF cotton with his wages plows. bun
would leave the cotton to be grow
by his cotton troopers and renters.
have no uneasiness about that farme,
meeting his note when due, regard
less of the price of cotton. This farm
er will have grain, potatoes, hay, mea-
| and probably other things t6 sell
more than he will need. 1t is NOR
often the case, however. that those
farmers, who do not depend upon a
cotton crop, have money in the banl;
and do not have to borrow on a cror
mortgage
Il wish you much success in your
work and | am sure that if the farm
ers will will cooperate with the move
ment it will rebound to their individ-
ual success and the prosperity of the
entire state"
