 No one came with permits up to the noon trains Friday and it looked as though the matinee performance at least would have to be cancelled. Dur ing the afternoon State Policeman Bridgman teiephoned from Plainfield that he had the permits had been de- tained and that the theatres could open, He arrived later and delivered the papers.

Hieh School Notes

On Friday evening the Senior Glass Putnam and High schools at Hal lowe'en party. The gymnasium was very attractively arranged and de- corated, With no light but that of jack o'lanterns and flash lights the guests were seated around a camp fire. After the telling of weird ghost story the lights were turned on. Then followed all sorts of Halloween games and tricks. One of the most popular corners was that occupied by the wteh's tent where Miss Beck told the fortunes of all who dared seek to learn their fate. The refreshments were of the regulation Halloween sort, con sisting of coffee, pumpkin pie, dough- nuts, cheese, apples, and homemade candy. The evening was completed by an hours dancing.
 There was basket ball game Thurs. day night October %, 1918. The High school played the Alumni and the Light Grade played the Seventh Grade between halves. The High school won, the score being 33 to 12. The Eight Grade won, the score being F 10 II.
 The school was glad to greet again Mrs. Titus Hayford of West Somerville who taught in the English department 1906 1910, and Miss Tarr, who was ninth grade teacher under MT. Dutton. We are glad our former teachers do not forget us; most certainly We do not forget them.

Girls Will Make Boys Hustle.

In the past the boys enrolled in
the Missouri Boys Corn Growing
Contest have had a nice, quiet lit
tie time dividing up 100000 in
prizes at the State Corn Show. But
this year they will have the girls to
reckon with for the contesthas been
opened to both boys and girls be-
tween the ages of 10 and 20 years.
1t is just as easy for a girl to get a
share of this prize money as 1t is
for the boys. The girls will not be
required to do any of the actual
work but will be expected to keep
all records, pick their sample of corn
for the State Corn Show. Of course
there is no objection to girls doing
such parts of the work as they can
do. There must be at least two
girls in every corn growing county
of Missouri who are sufficiently in
terested to get into this contest and
make the boys hustle. Besides
these prizes the Missouri Women
Farmers Club will give a $500
cash scholarship in the College of
Agriculture to the girl between the
ages of Is and 20 who wins first
prize in the contest. This is your
chance to show what Missouri girls
can do when they try. Corn plant

Buttermilk a Cheap Paint.

According to the findings of the
Idaho Experiment station. butter
milk may be efficiently utilized in
the preparation of farm paint. The
remarkable adhesive qualities of
the caseln in the buttermilk in
crease the durability of the paint
to a considerable extent, in addi-
ton to materially lesson the cost.
This unique paint is composed of
one gallon of buttermilk, three
pounds of Portland cement, and
sufficient of the desired coloring
matter to produce the right blend.
The mixture should be stirred
thoroughly, and should be used
Immediately. continuing the stir
ring at frequent intervals, as the
cement has tendency to settle to
the bottom of the bucket. At the
end of about six hours, when the
paint is dry on the building, it will
shed water very effectively.
The paint does not produce
very glossy surface, and on this
account is not adapted to use where
a fine finish is desired, but for Or
binary farm purposes it is excel
lent, as it preserves and improves
the looks of the sheds, barns and
fences which oft-times are neglect
ed around the farmstead because of
the rather high cost of paint.
Practically any coloring matter
may be used, although Venetian
red seems to be preferred in the
majority of cases. Buttermilk
paint is also of value in covering
the injuries of trees which have
been excessively or carelessIy
trimmed.
However, where it is used in
this way the amount of cement
should be increased so as to ma
terially thicken the paint.-Ex.

U. S Can Fix Any Terms For Pana-
ma Canal, Olney Declares.

Washington, D. c, April rs. .- The
United States as owner of the Pana-
ma canal, has the right to fix such
terms as it pleases and neutrality
CT the waterway applies to its users
only and not to the United States.
This was the view expressed today
by Richard Olney, former secretary
Of state, whose speech was read be-
fore a meeting of the American
Society of International Law. Mr..
Olney did not attend the gathering.
1T is clear" Mr.. 0lney's speech
continued" that a nation or a state
does not convey away its property
of sovereignty except by terms that
are clear and susceptible of no other
meaning and that where the mean
ing can be taken to favor the Unit
ed States, it is clearly the right of
the United States to urge that it be
held that the words, all nations do
not mean to include the United
States. However, it is not necess-
AIRY to rely upon this presumption
as the United Statas is owner and
can fix such terms as it pleases.
IF the question is submitted to
arbitration, it should not be sub
mitted to the Hague, but to a special
tribunal. The Hague would be par
tiaI, as all European powers are in
terested in the outcome

Poultry.

Even in the summer time those
big heavy fowls that dislike to for
age far from their yards should
have plenty of grit handy.
Do not expect the same results
with poultry every year. There
seems something in the seasons
which causes a difference no matter
if there is no difference in the meth
DDS of care and management.
A filthy drinking vessel is an ex-
cellent breeding place for disease.
Keep it clean and always filled with
fresh, pure water.
The scientists say that diseases of
man are often caused by impure
feed fed to poultry. Wholesome
food should be fed at all times.

Richmond, No. April 25.-Tax
dodgers were given a terrific jolt
yesterday, when the county board
Of equalization added a total of
more than $5000O0 to the personal
assessment of sixty-fve Ray county
tax payers
Among others. one farmers as
sessment was raised $179,467. The
work will be continued and it is be-
lieved that as much more will be
added before the session ends.
The action is the first fruit of a
campaign started against the tax
dodgers by F. P. Devilbiss, circuit
judge, at the February term of the
circuit court, when the judge in
structed the grand jury to probe the
matter. They recommended an ex-
pert to examine the records and
the county court employed James
Slack, deputy county collector
whose report is the basis of the
increase.
Mr.. Slack examined the mortgage
records of Ray county and reported
about $250,000 worth of mortgages
not on the assessment lists.
