sciNOl Notes

School work for the second semes-
ter began on Tuesday with a good
attendance in all departments. Nine
teen new students entered the pri-
mary rooms and 12 new students
were enrolled in the high school.
New courses in drawing, music,
and physical culture are introduced
this week. The new drawing course
is an up to date revision of the
course that has been in use in
Lamar for a number of years; the
music course is entirely new with
more and better music and less
technique; the physical culture,
course. is the course used in Den
yer schools. A new room has been
established by the board in order
to afford personal help to students
who are two or more years older
than the normal age for their grade
The normal age for any grade may
be determined by adding five to
the number of the grade. For ex-
ample, the normal age for the fifth
grade is ten years, for the seventh
grade, twelve years, etc.
In every grade there are one or
more who are three to five years
over age. AS rule they are help
lessly behind in one or two neces-
sary subjects and are marking time
until the day shall come when they
may drop out of school, These per-
sons deserve personal attention that
the grade teacher with forty or
more children to teach cannot give,
hence the action of the board in
esta blishing the progress room. :"
The number of pupils in this
room will be limited and pupils will
be enrolled in it only on assignment
by the superintendent on request
by the parent. Miss Van CIeve, a
graduate of Ottawa university and
special principal of long expert
ence will have charge of the pro-
gress room which will be establish
ed for the present in the Pioneer
b,tildfn.

the concert to be given at the high
school auditorium on Thursday

Robert Gauss Work to BE Carried
On

It is fitting that Professor b.
C. Buffmum should be selected as
the scientist to carry on the re-
markable work of seed development
started by Robert Gauss of the
Denver Republican more than a
score of years ago.
Shortly before his death Mr.
Gauss turned over to Professor
Buffman his selected seeds. repre-
senting the progress of the expert
ment Mr.. Gauss felt that he had
made a start along the right road.
and that from the last seed he had
gathered, at the time he suspend
ed his experiment owing to lack
of funds, several species of draught
resisting cereals might be develop
ed
In his work on his experimental
farm in Wyoming, Professor Buff
man has proved that he is the man
of all men to carry Mr.. Gauss plan
to completion. The friends of Mr..
Gauss will be more than pleased to
know that Professor Buffman, af-
ter examining the seed given him
for further development, finds that
the Denver scientist had developed
at least two speciees of whea' and
rye which promise wonders. "Mr.
Gauss evidently was further along
toward success" says Professor
Buffman, than he could have imag-
ined."
One of the last and most notable
editorials articles written by Mr..
Gauss was a description of Profess
sor Buffman's work in developing
new grain species, which the wy
oming scientist says was the most
thoroughly scientific appreciation
of his experiments ever written. On
1y a thorough scientist could have
written the article. The two men
had much In common, in their
scientific aims, and this makes 1t
certain that Mr.. Gauss experiments,
which promise 30 much for the
semi-arid plains, will not be lost
but will be carried to their ulti-
mate conclusion under the most
favorable circumstances

Some Hints for the Home Garden

Garden seed orders should soon
be sent to the seedmen. 1t is poor
policy to delay the purchase of
seeds until planting time. First.
because later in the season work
is too pressing to take time to de-
eide what is best to get, and 1t is
seeds be sown within the next
month or SO.
With all the reliable seed cata-
logues coming to hand at this time
of year, We can usually pick out a
good selection of garden seed which
will go a long way. toward making
our next years garden activities a
success.
The best plan Is to study our
catalogues and decide between those
reliable firms which have the var
ieties of the different species of
vegetables and fruits which we
think are best adapted to our con-
ditions. More gardens come to
grief through the encouragement
of the gardener having been led
to try some startMnng new discov-
cry in varieties that are being
sold at high prices than i'm any
other way The scheme of the un-
scrupulous and even the honest
seedman, is each year to introduce
some novelty which may be sold
for two or three times the price OF
the standard varieties. For In
stance, you will find in a nursery

OOLINlA BREAKS INTO ERUP-
TION
Mexican Volcano Active for First
Time Since 1908

Guadalajara, Mex, Jan. 21-The
volcano of Colima broke into vio-
lent eruption last night. Thousands
of people are fleeing from the vii
ages and ranches in the vicinity.
1t Is believed that there has been
heavy loss of life in the romoter
settlements.
Hundreds of refugees arrived in
this city this morning on train
composed of six cars which had
been qpicked up on a siding at a
nearby village. The fleeing people
had found it necessary to shovel
away quantity of volcanic sand
before they were able to move the
cars and for many miles along the
way here the train had to be stop
ped frequently to clear the track
of debris.
Very little lava was elected from
the crater which, however, emit
ted vast quantities of smoke and
sand, while suffocating gases form
ed an unusual feature of the erup-
ton. A gale was blowing from the
northwest and this probably saved
many of the Inhabitants of the sur
rounding districts. as it caused the
flying sand and deadly gases to
pass over their heads.
The activity OF the volcano de-
creased during the night. but vol

We do not wish to discourage

OF them desirable. and We believe
tnat every one who gardens for
the love OF the work or cares TO
improve present conditions should

varieties that seem promising. IL it

rather than to depend on them
lor standard crop.
One important fact in selecting
the seed for the garden should al
ways be borne in mind. The market
gardener selects those varieties
which because of high yielding quail
tiles or extreme earliness are de-
sirable for the market. but there
are nearly always better varieties
which. though less productive, are
more desirable for the Kitchen gar
den because OF their better quality.
For instance, some Of our finest
Strawberries are well adapted to
grow to be used Immediately. but
are absolutely WORTHLESS a. COM
mercial varieties because they are
too soft to hold up on the market
or to stand shipment. The same
may be illustrated In cabbages. The
Savoy" or crinkly-leafed cabbage
is of much more delicate texture
and much more desirable for home
use. but this cabbage will not sell
for any more upon the market nor
will it keep or ship as we'll as our
common varieties; hence it is good
for the home garden but not de-
sirable in this country for. general
market conditions. s,.rYa.

Farm Elevators

The farm elevator is taking
firm hold in the agricultural sec
tions along the Santa Fe lines. 1t
is especially noticeable in Kansas.
where the subject has been agitat
ed in farmers institutes. oranges.
unions and similar organizations.
With the elevator on his land. the
farmer is able to hold his crops
till the markets are satisfactory.
thereby getting the highest prices
for his produce.
A farm elevator with a capacity
of 5000 bushels, equipped with
modern appliances, including a 10
horse power gasoline engine. costs
about $4,000. The gain made by
holding crops soon pays for the ele-
vator.
Small farm operators who do not
care to tie up their money In ele-
vators are building galvanized iron
storage tanks holding from 1000
to 5000 bushels. They are rected
in the center of the field, near
where the threshing is done. The
tanks are inexpensive. and the
grain stored therein is thoroughly
protected from fire and weather.

What Next?

There is bill pending IN the
state senate providing for a bond
issue of s4,OOO,0OO, to be expend-
ed by commission for the pur-
chase and operation of smelters.
sugar factories, flour and feed
mills, canning factores as in the
Judgment of said commission should
be acquired by the state. Similar
measures have been before pre-
vious legislatures, but it appears
that now for the first time the
sponsors of this measure, If they
really desire it passed, have suf-
ficient influence to put it through.
One can hardly believe that such
a bill has been introduced serious
ly; aone could not believe it at all
were it not that the history of
democratic misgovernment offers
plenty of illustrations of folly that,
If not quite so monumental, is at
least similar to this proposal. Per-
haps a better word than folly might
be used. for the average politician,
at least, would not consider foolish
a law which provided another fat
graft for the worthy beneficiaries of
administrative favor. How nice an
opportunity for fattening ones
purse and those of ones friends
would be offered by control of four
millions to be used in buying and
operating industrial establishments,
can better be imagined than describ-
ed.
OF course. there may come a time
when various industries of semi
public nature will be. owned col
lectively by the people; In fact.
there is already considerable dis
cussion of the wisdom of federal
acquisition of express. telephone and
telegraph companies. But we will
not be ripe for anything like that.
