to new methods or innovations
in its schools. Last year. as
was mentioned at the time in
this paper, a teacher in that
county persuaded the school
board to let her have a cook
stove and few kitchen unten-
sils in her school. The pupils
did the rest in the way of fur
nishing food. and a warm noon
lunch was provided for the school.
1t is said that an army cannot
fight on an empty stomach, and
so it is of every other occupa-
ton. While school children. or
most of them in this state, con-
not be said to be studying3on an
empty stomach. too often the
coarse, unpaIatable lunch eaten
in the winter and washed down
with cold icy water, is not con-
dusive to enthusiasm or interest
in their studies. This is but one
| Of the reasons for the school
warm lunch. The teacher also
acts as kind of domestic
science teacher in preparing the
lunches, and having some of the
pupils, boys and girls, help her
in this.
1t also serves a good purpose.
The greater share of the scholars
bolt their cold lunch in few
minutes and then after playing
a little do not know what to do
with themselves. They can be
kept busy in a pleasant way a
good share of the noon hour and
spend the rest in play. There
are many reasons for the school
warm lunch. and none against
| it. And this has led in Perkins
county to another departure in
school methods.
Bison, the county seat, has a
good high school attended by
many young folks in the county.
But some of them are not endow-
| ed with much cash; others are
not able to attend the high school
owing to the expense of boarding
in town. Yet such young folks
ought to be given a chance.
The school board of Bison has
solved the problem by renting
a building which will be used as a
dormitory to be in charge of a
competent matron, who will look
after the young folks. The
pupils are expected to supply
their own bedding and take care
| of their own rooms. The matron
will also teach music for those
who care to receive such instruc-
ton. This does not interfere
with the local people who keep
boarding houses: as the young
folks who live and room in that
dormitory would not be able to
pay the regular prices for rooms.
They will, however. spend q
little money in the town, and the
parents who come after them
every week or so, when the
pupils go home for Sunday. or
come to see them, also will spend
money in the community.
This is perhaps another ex-
ample of practical ''paternalisn ,
but hardly any one can find fault
with it. 1t is a progressive
move that may De followed by
older counties or school boards.

Frosted Corn SiEage.
Farmers Can Save Corn Which
Fails to Mature by Putting it in
to the silo Immediately After
the First Frost.

The fact that corn if frosted
and Immediately put into the silo
Will still make good silage may
prove of great advantage to corn
growers in certain sections where
the lateness of the present sea-
son may prevent the corn from
rlpenlng or reaching the glazed
stage before the first frost, ac-
cording to the dairying experts
CT the department. Those who
have not been intending to make
silage of their corn should find
this information very useful in
the event that corn can not be
harvested in the ear.
| The best corn silage, of course,
is produced where the corn can
be put into the silo after it has
reached the glazed stage. In an
emergency. however, where the
corn has not reached the glazed
stage before frost, it is better to
give it all the growing time pos
sible, even if it has to be put
into the silo Immediately after
the first frost. Every extra
Igrowing day after the corn has
reached the milk stage adds very
much to the solid constituents of
the silage. as in these last few
days there is a very important
transfer of material from the
roots into the stalk and ear of
the plant. In fact, t h e corn
plant when it reaches the milk
stage contains only about 65 per
cent of the dry matter that it
contains two weeks later.
And from the increased feed
ing value. the corn when it has
reached the glazed stage con-
tains a much larger percentage
of starch and smaller percent
age of sugar. The high pro-
portion Of su gar in immature
corn is one of the main reasons
for the high acidity in the silage
made from it. The amount of
acid in the silage is found to be
very nearly in proportion to the
sugar present in corn.
Where it has been necessary
to delay until after the frost to
cut the corn for silage. it is es-
sential that the plants be not
allowed to stand frosted in the
field. They must be cut an d
put into the silo at once. The
chief effect of the frosting, it
will be found, is to reduce some
what through evaporation h e
water content of the plants In
packing frosted corn, therefore,
it will probably be necessary to
add some water to the blower as
the corn is being run through the
cutter. The amount to be added
depends largely upon the stage
of maturity. If cut when the
kernels are beginning to dent,
the lower leaves are often quite
brown and naturally need some
extra moisture. At any rate,
only water enough should be ad-
ded to make the material quite
damp, SO that it will pack firmly.
Where frosted immature corn,
not even near the glazed stage,
is packed, little or no watet pro-
baby will be required.

CITY WATER SUPPLY

BY BREAK IN WELL
FOR THiRTY-Six HOURS A WA
TER FAMINE HAS BEEN
THREATENED.

The City Commissioners this
afternoon obtained connections
with the reservoirs Of the New
man Lumber Company and with
the Fertilizer Plant. Mayor Bat
son says that the city now has
bigger water supply than under
the old system.
With break in the 450-foot well
which furnishes Hattiesburg's water
supply. the city for the last 36 hours
has been threatened with a water
famine

since it was bored more than two
years ago has been able to furnish
water at the rate of 500 gallons a
minute, threatens to go dry, and the
city officials are doing everything in
their power to discover the cause,
and to remedy the defect

that the stream which formerly ran

Washington, D. c., May lit
Is now certain that the President
does not intend to call an extra
session of Congress because of
the Lusitania disaster.
1t is expected that the stand
that this country will take, and
plans for handling the ship-sink-
ing tragedy, will be outlined at
tomorrow's weekly Cabinet meet
ing, @~
X is believed that the action
of Germany will be denounced az
inexcusabIe under the laws Of ma
tions and humanity, but the ex-
tent of the protest is not known.
1t is possible that diplomatic
relations with Germany may be
severed, or that Ambassador Ger
ard, the American representative
at Berlin, may be recalled; with
out formally breaking off diplo-
matte relations.
The President locked himself in
his study and gave strict orders
that he was not to be disturbed.
1t is pointed out here that the
breaking Of Diplomatic relations
with Germany would stop much
of the Humanitarian work the
Americans are doing abroad, es-
peeiaIIy in Belgium.
The president remained In Sc
elusion the entire day, considering
the disaster. Hundreds of tele-
grams are coming to him, advo-
eating both war and peace. Each
telegram, however, says shat the
United States should remain firm.
