WhItewash In Dairy Earn.

DR.. Marshall. Pennsylvania Insti.
tute speaker, says that whitewashing
of dairy barns should be done for
the sake of general sanitation, but
the main point in the fight against
tuberculosis is the elimination of the
dark stables and filthy stall condI-
tons.
Where clean methods are used in
the keeping of COWS, he advises the
use Of a compound made from one
pound of chloride Of lime and five
gallons of whitewash, which. when
put on the walls and stable partitions,
acts as an effective preventive of dis
ease.

A RECORD
OF WORTH

The Grand Rapids High School has
enrolled among its student body a
Wood County lad of Thirteen years
who can boast Of a five years per
feet attendance record. This boy
moved into the county and Located
with his parents in the town of Rock
on November 9th, 1908, which was on
Friday and he began Monday morn
ing attending the Lindsey school. And
up to the close of saidschool June
1913, he had not missed a single day
nor been tardy a single time
This is evidence of good material
to work upon and it is just this
kind that our school faculty like to
get hold of and with the splendid
corps Of teachers and the fine e
qu1pment that our school presents
there is probability that this
same individual stands in the way
of making a new record. At any
rate there are those hoping it shall
be so.
These brief remarks would not
seem complete did we not introduce
the name to you of this young gentle
man, Warren Robinson, and we
wish for him all the favors and ac-
ccmplishments of studious career.

Why were "trade dollars" issued by
the United States after the civil war?
What is the value of one today?
The trade dollar of 1878 was issued
for export to the far east to facilitate
trade with China and Japan. 1t was
not for circulation in the United States.
The coin weighed 420 grains and was
just trife heavier than the Mexican
dollar. The issue was suspended in
1887. A trade dollar is worth today
about so cents.
