NEW FEATURE At
ALLEN ACADEMY

A new method OF interesting the
students in the study Of current affairs
and drilling them in public speaking
has been introduced at Allen Acade-
my. The boys OF the Senior and Jun
Tor classes have subscribed for four OF
the leading weekly magazines, as fol-
lows: The Independent, The Outlook,
The Literary Digest. and Golfers
Weekly. Each boy has his own copy
OF one OF these magazines for eight
weeks in turn. while extra copies OF
all the magazines are at hand for con-
sultatlon and comparison. Thus each
student will become acquainted In the
course OF the school year with all four
OF these magazines.
To make the reading OF the maya
zines definite and effective, actual
class room work is conducted In pre-
scribed readings from these periodi-
, calls one day in each week; and the
following morning the chapel hour
is devoted to the discussion, before
the whole school, OF some current
event or matter OF public interest the
speakers drawing on their information
gotten from the magazines and from
any other available sources.
In pursuance Of the above plan, the
boys discussed Friday morning
"The Present Cotton Problem" Fol
forty minutes this subject was handled
with remarkable interest and show Of
intelligence in the amount OF lnforma-
ton brought forward and show OF In
telllgence. The amount OF informa
ton brought forward was really sur
prising. The boys in off-hand debate
covered pretty thoroughly the various
phases OF the subject, such as produc
ton. consumption, causes OF presen
conditions and the various remedie
, which have been proposed.
, Perhaps the most noticeable featur
OF the exercise was the fact that no
one of the speakers showed the leas
embarrassment or hesitation in speal
ing, his interest In the subject causin
him to completely forget himself
In the choice OF reading matter 70
this new line Of work, the school ha
not ignored the value Of the daily pi

FARMERS FAVOR COTTON REpuc'
TON LAW.

The Eagle editor has talked with a
number OF farmers in regard TO the
proposed law upon which the legisla'
ture has been working. which propos-
es 10 compel by statute the reduction
of cotton acreage. To our surprise
majority OF them favor such a law.
None Of them favor II with prison
penalty, but believe the number OF
bales each farmer may produce should
be fixed and then a tax levied for each
surplus bale, which should be so heavy
that no farmer would dare 20 beyond
the limit
The farmers are desperate and re-
alize that reduction is their only sal
walton. They do not believe that any
voluntary organization or agreement
can be perfected in time TO produce
the desired results. They believe II
II is left to voluntary action. II will
be the same as in former years. which
means that where one farmer cuts his

There are also great many tenan

Altogether twenty-five hunting aeci

by the Commission yesterday says:
"When it is remembered that there
are over 10000 licensed hunters in the

gally hunt on their own farms without
licenses, the list of only score of
