The second six weeks exam was held
last week and report cards will be in
the hands Of the students for their
parents signature the early part of
next week. Parents are urged TO study
the cards and note the progress of
their children and the number of times
they have been absent and tardy. The
cold weather has a tendency to in
crease the number of tardinesses and
the teachers would like to have the CO.
operation of both students and parents
in overcoming this evil.

with the completion Of the Wool

tanned" This was the expression of
the principal of one of the largest
renting agencies in this city, when
asked concerning desirability or
financial advantage Of skyscrapers as
office buildings, says the Wall Street
Journal. The tenant has called a
halt. Had the demand continued"
he said, "there is no knowing where
the engineer, the architect or the

Using purposes and not for profit
from rentals. There has been a re-
markable change of sentiment on the
part of tenants within the past few
years. Time was when there was
rush to get into the newest and
loftiest of structures, but not now.
1t is stated on high authority that
there is scarcely building of more
than % stories in New York that
pays a dividend or decent interest on
the capital invested. One of more
than 80 stories that paid 10 per cent.
for the first few years after compile
ton does not pay expenses today.
That tenants do not want to 60 too
high from the ground is expressed in
the most forceful way possible by
refusing to rent space above GER
tain level or by vacating premises
above that level for others lower in
the same or other buildings. Vari-
GUS reasons are assigned for the re-
fusal to go high and for changes to
lower levels. Some complaint of the
long elevator journey, others the
comparative isolation, and still 9TH
ers are honest enough to admit a
shade of dread or doubt. In the
Woolworth building, with So floors
of office-renting space, there is none
tenanted above the forty-frst story,
above which are twelve floors for
rent"
The ideal skyscraper seems to be
one of about Is to 20 stories.

DETENTION ROOM FOR PESTS
Method Adopted by Government for
Excluding Entry Of Bugs Injurious
TO Farm Crops.

Experience has taught the officials
Of our national government the advis-
ability Of guarding against the possi.
BILE importation Of injurious or undesir'
able plants and animals. Well mean
ing but carelessly inclined friends liv-
ing abroad send home specimens OF
beautiful or peculiar plants or flow
ers. strange and unusual insects, small
animals as pets, and so forth, not
knowing that they are aiding in the
spread of what may be extremely
harmful pest Often, too, seed" OF
some variety Of fruit or vegetable is
sent to home friends for planting
which contains the eggs of some in
sect pest or the germs of a disease
which may sweep away thousands Of
dollars worth of valuable homegrown
plants or trees.
To prevent any Of these disasters
the government has provided a quar-
antine ROOM" to which all specimens,
living or dead and preserved, must
first go for thorough microscopic in
spsction before being passed on to the
recipient, says the New York lnde-
pendent The first shipment received
after the establishment Of this room
was a lot of potatoes from the Andes
of South America. They were found
to be thoroughly infected with a small
brown bug harmful enough to have
created an endless amount Of mischief
among the potato interests of this
country had they been allowed to en-
ter unobserved.
The inspection room is carefully pre-
pared to prevent the escape of micro
scopie germs. 1t is simply a glass In
closed cage about eight by twelve feet,
placed in one of the regular office
rooms In the department Of agricui
ture, and is absolutely bug proof.

Peahay for FattenIno Lamb.

Peahay made by cutting Canada
field peas after the bloom and before
the pods were formed, was fed to fat
tening lambs at the South Dakota sta
ton. 1t was very palatable rough
age and highly relished by the lambs.
With the exception Of the two lots
that received alfalfa, and the lot that
received sweet clover, more uniform
gains were made than with either of
the other lots. II is an advantage to
secure uniform gains as the lambs
are in a better condition for the mar

importance of feeding a legume as
