NOW FOR THE ELECTION

There is unmistakable evidence in
the attendance aad enthusiasm that
characterized the mass meeting of the
PEOPLE of Americas at the mass meet
ing Friday night that shows such a
sediment aroused here in favor uf
school bonds as has never been known
before. If the rally held Friday night
is. to be taken as representative Of SEN
timent in favor of bonds, as it undoubt-
eddy is, the passage of the bond issue
seems almost assured.
The attendance was large. That was
rot the only hopeful sign. A large num-
Der of ladies as we'll as men were pres
emit The championing of the cause Of
bonds has ELECTED the most earnest
and sympathetic support on the par OF
the ladies of the city. A realization
both deep and sincere has come upon
the people of Americas that the need Of
bonds for better schools is imperative.
They have come to know that it should
be accorded not only duty but priv
ilege to vote for bonds and for better
advantages for their own children ana
the children of the future.
A very necessary preparation was
made when committees were named to

CONVENIENT LIGHTING FOR THE
FARM.
FARM.

That the farmer of the future, ay
the farmer of the present, if he wifi!
is to enjoy the modern conveniences Of
his city friends, is rapidly being real
lied. The ease with which electric
lights may be secured on the farm is
making for the revolutionizing of
lighting systems in the rural districts
and without revolutionary prices.
Many farmer who uses a gasoline
engine daily, or even part of the
time, may secure an outfit for electric
lighting and store up during the day
sufficient energy to light his home with
electric lights during the night The
advent of the gasoline engine makes
this possible, as the Dawson News
points out:
1t is estimated that there are at
least two million gasoline and oil ell
gines on farms in this country at the
present day, and this number is being
added to at the rate of 100000 annl-
ally.
A great many farmers who have al
ready installed engines for power pur.
poses would also like to have electric
light for the house and farm buildings
and other electrical conveniences, but
do not know how to go about it to Sc
cure the necessary apparatus.
The necessary auxiliary apparatus
consists of a small electric generator.
storage battery and the necessary
wiring and lamps.
An electric generator large enough
to operate thirty of the new type OF
metal filiment Mazda lamps can be
bought very reasonably and the nee
essary wiring can be done by the
farmer himself if he is handy with
tools, or competent electrician will
do the work for nominal sum- The
generator is belted to the gas engine
aid run until the storage battery is
charged; then it is stopped and no.
started up again until it is necessary.
Generally two or three short runs
during the week will be sufficient. and
even less where only few lamps are
used at a time.
OF course it will be necessary to OBJ
tain the correct speed ratio between
the engine and the generator, but this
Is easily figured out A few hours talk
with an electrician while he operates
the system will be sufficient to teach
any one all that is necessary to know
about operating such an electric plant.
A lighting system of this kind will
last for years and will supply all the
electricity necessary for lighting the
home, the yards and the barn build
ings.

get out the voters to the polls tomo'-
row. The most earnest and Jealous
work on the part of these men should
dc much toward securing the necessary
majority in favor of bonds. A glance
at the personnel of the committees
that have in charge the arrangements
for the election serves to show that eY-
every citizen in Americas is vitality in
terested in the passage of the bond X
sue and that these citizens will be at
work tomorrow to get the voters to the
polls.
1t is recognized that the people o.
Americas as a whole are in favor oi
bonds. There are very few, if any
voters here who actively oppose the is
suance of bonds. The main duty OF
those who are to manage the polling OF
votes for the bond issue tomorrow is IL
get out to the polls every citizen whJ
fayors bonds. 1t is possible for indif-
ference to kill this bond issue. But
with the Widespread interest that has
been aroused here in the need of
bonds it would seem that it is not
probable that the people of Americas
will fail to come outand register their
sentiment at the polls tomorrow.

AT THE FEET OF THE MASTERS

Encouragement should be given 20
the use of the best English classics III
he schools of Americas and of the state
of Georgia The influence of these
classics in forming the tastes of the
students who read them is of inestima-
BILE value. The broader the English
course can be made the better.
1t is worth while to consider the
complaint that is sometimes made -
the effect that the students grow tired
of classics that they are forced TO
study in schools. This is lamentable
condition, if it prevails to any extent
1t would seem that it is not as prevail
ent as has been indicated.
This is no argument, however,
against the use of the classics in
schools. If they have been taught in
dull and lifeless manner, this fault
should be corrected, These. classics
should be taught in the broad and in
forming spirit of genuine literature.
English courses should be made vital
and most broadly helpful as the Phil
adelphia Record suggests in the fol-
lowing excerpt:
After the rudiments of education,
which are absolutely necessary, have
been given there is nothing the schools
can do that is of greater value to the
pupils than to teach them to love goo1
reading. At the recent convention o.
school superintendent here one mem
Der said that most pupils were inter-
ested in the story of the Had, bu,
few of them found anything interesting

was no use in making them read it.

ed as yellow-backed; but fashions IN

But are school children. the pupils
OF high schools and college students,
to be encouraged to read tawdry SEN
timent and slovenly English because
, they take to it readily? Is not educa-
ton designed to do something besides

and uniformed? The use of the germs
Of English literature for reading ex-
ercises is sometimes denounced on the
ground that the pupils are repealed In
stead of drawn toward literature that
they have bee drilled on in classics.
Yet many persons will acknowled se
that their taste for good literature, TO.
the best fiction and for pure and mus
ical poetry, was first awakened in their
school classes.
We fear many of the teachers do no,
care about reading and have not a
very elevated taste in literature. Those
who really love good reading can i'm
prove the tastes of most of their pupils
if not of all of them. They are no,
likely to give their pupils anything that

Experiments to Determine Effort on

recently concluded experiments to
determine the effect Of feeding corn on
the color of the yolk of eggs. One
hundred and twenty Single Comb
White Leghorns were divided into
three lots of 40 each and were housed
and cared for alike except that one
pen received it's whole grain in the
form of corn, another in the form OF
wheat, and the third received a mix
ture of corn and wheat. All pens were
allowed free access to narrow yards,
which furnished a very limited amount
of green stuff. All the eggs laid by
these pens were saved, and after boil
ing were cut in half and placed in
parallel rows for comparison. In
every instance the eggs from the corn
fed lot showed a yolk with deep yell
low co4or. Every egg from the corn
and wheat fed lot showed yolk with
deep yellow color, while with but
three exceptions the eggs from those
fed wheat had yolk of a very pale,
yellow color.
