The entertainment given at the
West Side school Friday evening for
the benefit of the school library was
a success from every point of view
The school netted nearly $40 at an
admission of IS cents each, so it
will be seen that there was good
sized crowd in attendance Every
grade from the first TO the eighth
inclusive was represented on the pro-
gram, which was long and varied.
The only possible criticism would be
that the entertainment was too long.
The first number on the program
was a play based on the life of Abra-
ham Lincoln, by the fourth grade.
1t was exceptionally well done and
was well received
A violin solo by Julian Barrett,
of the third grade aged seven years,
showed remarkable proficiency foI
one so young. The lad, who is a
pupil of Professor Beach, has only
been playing a few months.
The Mother Goose play, by the
little ones of the first grade, with
Little Lucy Pickens taking the lead
ing role as Mistress Mary, quite
contrary" was remarkably good. All
the little folks were letter perfect
and Mistress Mary showed a com
posure on the stage which would
have done credit to a veteran.
A vocal duet by Frederick and
Margaret Johnson called out much
hearty applause. The children are
but seven and eight years of age
but have strong, clear voices and
sing we'll
A dialogue or playlet by the sec
ond grade youngsters, a well-put-on
presentation of the old nursery clas-
sic, "rhe Sleeping Beauty" took
well.
The Pictures from Longfellow'
by the seventh and eighth grades
were well done, the girls posing well
and all looking very sweet.
The drill and song of the little
sweepers by girls of the third grade
was we'll done and won hearty ap-
plause.
Riley Davis, Of the fifth grade
aged ten years, gave a fine violin
solo, and responded to well-earned
encore.
Laura Provost, of the fifth grade
sang a solo which made much en-.
joyed by all.
The farce, The Train to Mauro,

HUNGARIAN PARTRIDGEs.
Birds Will be On Exhibition al
Plaza Tuesday Afternoon.

Deputy Game Warden Hubbard
will receive a crate of Hungarian
partridges Tuesday noon, which will
be liberated on one of the game re-
serves. Mr.. Hubbard will have the
BIRDS on exhibition on the plaza
Tuesday afternoon and he especially
requests that all hunters and sports
men come and see them. These
birds have never been at large in
this section of the country and hunt
trs are liable to kill them by mistake
if they are not familiar with them,
and thus cause the loss of the birds
and also lay themselves liable to
prosecution. Do not fail to see
them.

BONDSWON'T BRINCPAR
Grants Pass Has to Sell Railroad
Bonds at 96 Per Cent to Meet
Expenditures.

Grants Pass, March 14.--Thurs-
day the city council adopted reso-
luton comforting upon the public
utility commission authority to nego-
tiate a sale of the 100000 bond
issue upon terms that will permit
the acceptance of the bid already
made by a Cleveland firm, to net
the city 9612 per cent of the face
value of the issue The resolution
reads as follows:
Resolved, That the Public Utility
Commission be and is hereby author
lied to negotiate a sale of the rail-
road bonds through brokers and to
pay a commission and fees for SER
vices not to exceed 3R per cent of
the face value thereof and to ar
range upon a sale for the printing
and delivery of the bonds, delivery
to be made through the city treas
urer"
The business men of Grants Pass
are unanimously in favor of the ac-
ceptance of the bid made by the
Cleveland, Ohio, bond-buying house
for the 100000 bond issue voted
by this city on December IS. This
bid, which was for Sc " cents with
accrued interest, is the best offer yet
received, and considering the fact
that the bonds bear but per cent
interest, it is an excellent offer in
the light of the financial market.

A Toothbrush From Nature.

The stems of several different
shrubs and trees here are used by
the natives in the nature of tooth
brush, or as what the natives call a
Chew stick" Among others the
stems of the orange, the lemon and
the membrillo or ounce trees are
used on account of the agreeable
flavor of these woods. But the most
commonly used is a plant ordinarily
called "guano," which is probably
the same as the one called argentea.
"Guano" grows in large quantities
in the vicinity of Dani and San Girls
tobal. The natives use the green
stem, the end of which they chew up
and use in the nature Of a tooth
brush. 1t is said that the natives of
Porto Rico, Jamaica and other West
Indian countries allow the chew
sticks to become dry before using
them. Although there has apparent
ly never been any sale of the plant
"guano' it has been suggested that
Americans interested might arrange
for the shipment of any quantity de-
cirad

Passenger traffic on the Southern

A Wonderful Savings Bank
Growth.

On June 3oth the Hyde
Park Savings Bank passed the
two and one-halt million dollar
mark in deposits.
On June 5oth, 1907, six
years ago, its deposits were
only $S44,I58.34.
In other words, tbs Hyde
Park Savings Bank has prac-
ticaIly multiplied its deposits
by three in the short space of
six years.
This means an average gain
in deposits of over nine humid
red dollars day for every bust
ness day in the entire six years.
1t means that the deposits
exceeded the Withdrawals by
an average of more than $277,-
900 per year for the entire six
years.
The deposits exceeded the
Withdrawals for the year end
ing June 80, 1913, by $29S,-
34S.36.
These figures are interesting
from two points OF view, viz -
First, they indicate the general
prosperity of our State, and
Second, they indicate that the
people of Vermont have come
to place great confidence in
the business sagacity and con-
servatism of the managers of
the Hyde Park Bank.

Many tlocks have few extra layers

A good deal may be done toward aug
menting the output of feed from the
field of corn by sowing rape either just
before or just after the last cultiva-
ton at the rate of about five pounds
to the acre. If the summer is very
dry the seed will be slow in starting,
but the plants will grow rapidly with
the moisture and cooler weather Of
the early fall The rape pasture IS es-
pecially good TO those who practice
hogging down their corn or turning
sheep into the field South of latitude

vantaCeouSly for the same purpose,
having this advantage over rape-that
they not only furnish good feed, but

Statistics compiled by the depart
ment of agriculture show that the pop
number of dairy cows, has doubled
within the past thirty-fve years, the
present number of the latter being put
at 100000. 1t Is a matter for inter-
esting conjecture just where the A.
100000 dairy COWS are going to come
from in the next thlrtyfve years if
the process of elimination continues
as a result of applying the Babcock
test. However, there won't be so
many cows needed If the star boarders
are eliminated from the herds of the
country.

Wiring and sealing show coopS IS
becoming the rule in some sections
where fancier's fowls have been stolen
or mutilated at exhibitions. Seals and
wire however, will not protect birds
from such rascalS.
The early sitting hen is nearly al
ways the best winter layer, and she is
almost always set on eggs laid by the
drone hens that lay in the cheap egg
season and do their sitting in hot sum-
mer when eggs are scarce.
Ohio now has 9,50G fanciers raising
pure bred poultry, and her last egg
$40 dozens per year. Ninety-three per
cent of her farm fiocks are mongrels.
The day old chick business is crowd
ing out the Matching egg trade. One
reason for this is because many fan
ciers have shipped eggs that didn't
hatch, and dissatisfied buyers natural
ly prefer chicks to risking money and
time on eggs.
Fowls need salt and relish it. but it
is very injurious if too much is given.
The safe way is to mix it with water,
a tablespoonful to the gallon, and use
to moisten the mash.
The fact that n hen is a strong
breeder one season is no sign that she
will be the next. The wise fancier is
always on the watch for changes in
his birds. ready to Gull out those that
break down after the mott or heavy
laying season or suddenly show weak
ness or develop off points that would
be reflected in their offspring.
