HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By Stella Baleria.)

The Xi's, due to their superiority
in numbers, won the most points in
rhetoricals last Friday. They secur.
ed 6S6 points, while the Pts were
able to gather in AL points. But
the Xi's had on the program, while
Pts had only 5. In averaging up the
grades, it was found that the KRIS
had an average of SO; the Pts aver.
age was SS. Thus in point of merit
the Pts were superior. y.
In totals the Xi's are ahead by
several hundred points. The xrs
have total of 41s9 points; the PRS
have only 360S.
The program for the 18th is a com.
bination of two programs. The one
originally planned for last Friday
will be merged with the Christmas
program. The result will undoubted
ly be very interesting. A boys quar-
tet is one of the numbers. The Glee

RULES TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS

Precautionary measures to prevent
accidents In mining have been re-
ceived by us from Washington, D.
c.. and we hasten 70 give them to
the public for their benefit:
Always test new brand Of fuse
before using and determine its rap
idity. Never store fuse near boiler
or steam pipe to warm 1t as high
temperature retards its burning rate.
Also, never unroll 1t when very cold
as it Is apt to break and cut off the
powder train. Keep 1t in dry and
even temperature.
Prohibit men from riding on buck
cts, cages, etc., loaded with dirt or
ore SO far as possible.
Instruct the men not to touch eI-
ectric wires until current is turned
off.
Do not construct wooden building
at the mouth Of tunnel that has
no other means of egress.
Do not return to a blast until
reasonable time has elapsed for all
holes to explode.
Handle all grades of dynamite care
fully and don't smoke or have an
open light near when loading. Never
shoot into a magazine that contains
dynamite, Never carry caps loose In
your pockets as the illuminate there
in contained is very sensitive. Don't
leave explosives in damp place and
keep caps and powder away from
children. Don't use frozen explo-
sives nor give 1t too great degree
of heat. Don't thaw dynamite on
heated bricks or stone but place a
board between and don't heat In
stove or oven. Don't break a stick
Of dynamite while 1t is frozen as 1t
is liable to explode. Don't tamp
with iron or steel tamping bar, use
only wood. Don't cut fuse too short
but allow time to get beyond danger.
Don't fire until everyone is out Of
danger, and don't hurry back to find
the cause of a misfire. Don't pick
out a charge that has failed to ex-
plode.
BY following these rules in. case
of accident the management is ex-
onerated In a greater degree.

Poultrymen Are Debating Whether
Hen or Pullet 10 Capable Of Great
est Eno Production.

No matter how successful keepers
become with poultry, they are trying
at all times to find how they may in
crease their profits. To increase their
profits means to increase egg produc-
ton. Poultrymen are now debating
whether hen or pullet is capable OF
the greatest egg production. There Is
good argument On both sides. Some
claim that while hens lay less than
pullets, they lay larger and heavier
eggs and because Of the fact the eggs
command a better price than those
laid by pullets. This is true, but In
many sections of the United States,
eggs are sold without grading and
consequently the small egg is able
to command as good price as the
larger ones. Others are in favor of
pullets because they lay eggs which
are claimed to possess q better flavor

FRIED H0MINY WITH BACON
Should Be Made the Staple Dish for
Breakfast, With, Of Course, a
Little Fruit,

First fry the thin slices of bacon in
frying pan, then cut the cold hominy
in slices and fry in the fat. 1t is well
to have plenty, SO as to avoid the
need of another meat or hearty dish
for the meal! Rolls or cold bread or
almost any other little ceremonial
dish will complete the ordinary light
breakfast, with the coffee. OF course.
little fruit is always in order at any
meal, whether custom or fashion calls
for it or not That usually is more a
matter of convenience and economy
or luxurious indulgence than other
wise, although for breakfast the fruit
is OF especial value as an appetizer
and clearer of the taste and whole sys-
tenn than at any other time. We are
all SO apt to have no appetite and also
to be sluggish in the morning that
fruit is very desirable addition to the
first meal of the day at any season.

INSPECT YOUR ROSES DAILY

Ing Is as good as any remedy.
Rose slugs arrive during June and
also later on. Whale oil soap keeps
them down.
Aphis are deadly enemies to roses
right along. They thrive by sucking
the rose juice. Kerosene is effective
for house roses.
In putting out roses remember to
prepare a much larger opening than
the pot. Mix SCOT and trife Of lime
In luke warm water and pour into
the hole. Shake the earth away and
set the roots carefully into the hole,
closing quickly and patting gently
down.
When first put down allow only one
main stem to grow. Remove all
shoots starting from near the leaves.
Never put roses on the north side
Of the house, because they need all
the sun they can get every day they
live.
