mash bait may be used. This is made
by mixing one pound of dry Paris

this is added swectcned water, or

get IT all moist. This is scattered
about the field in the same way as the

that 1t appears to attract the worms
more than the clover bait. Poultry

Broadly speaking. the borcr moths
arc dcpositing eggs continuously from

The eggs hatch in from seven to ten
days. Therefore protectors should be

earlier. but the number of borers that

REVIEW OF PROGRAM OF
 PARENT-TEACIiER ASSN

Last Friday evening, January $, the regular monthly meeting of the Parent Teacher ass sclation was held at s o'clock ln the school house assembly room. The assem- bly room has been rendered more attractive the past week by the gift to the school of q beautiful flag which has been draped on the wall and the stretching of dark green burlap as a background for the eN- hibit work of the children. IL IS the purpose of the school from time to time to exhibit wor& cA&rac,eriS- tic of the children's progress. Those in attendance were so interested in the exhibit of the evening that they remained long after the meeting closed to study in detail the work of every child.
 Among the matters or business which came up before the associa- ton was the question of giving credit for piano prac.lciug and Sat urday work in the newly instituted system of Home Credit work and after considerable discussion it was decided that theso credits should be allowed.
 The program had for it's topic at this particular meeting the ques- tion of the proper kinds uI food for the school child. Mrs. Clark gave an excellent paper on "The Value of Food to the School Child. Her most important point on this subject was that proper food meant an efficient child. To establish this point she enumerated the best kinds of food, at the same time showing just what each particular class of food gives to the growing Iov or girl. Her second point had to do with the time and con ditious under which a child should eat his meals. There is no better motto to abide by during meal hours than the old saving, Eat drink, and be merry" The envir- onment of the dinner table should always be pleasing one. The child should never be reproved at meal hour for his misconduct dur ing other hours of the day. Be- sides these things there should be given plenty of time for eating.
 Mrs. Dedman then gave an inter -esting paper on the suitable break fast for the active school child, carefully discriminating between those foods which are beneficial to the child and those which are not The breakfast is really the crucial meal of the day, for upon t depends the trend of the days work and as it is a proven fact "as the day be- gins so the day usually ends" we should therefore give great consid- eration to the menu of this meal. Following this came a short in teresting talk by Miss Keenan on Evidence of Right and Wrong Feed ing l Have Seen in the School Room" Miss Keenan gave some very interesting statistics concern ing the result of improper feeding.

SAN ANTONIO OCCUPIES
 AN UNIQUE POSITION

San Antonio, Texas. Jan. l2- With thousands of MeXiean refugees in this city, whose affiliations are mixed with the cont=uGiug factions of their native land, and each wait ing and hoping for q time in aI-, fairs favorable to their respective interests, San Anton!a occupies to- day an unique position in rela- tion to the war-torn republic across the Rio Grande. Ana SC it has ever since the overthrow of the Diaz regime five yeas ago when Francisco l. Madero, disguised as a peon, made his memorable escape from Mexico and cGme here to launch his revolution which carried him to the presidents chair and lat CT to his grave. Likewise Che Reyes revolution was started in San Anton.a. This was nipp,d in the bud by the killing Of General Ser nado Reyes in Mexico City.
 Letterly, the United states gov ernment has tighened it's lines on tn activities of Mexican refugees in the states and filibustcr,ng from this side of the border, regarded as Q violation of neutrality, is strict ly prohibited. When Emilio Vas Quez Gomez, who had been making his home here, gave long distance advices on his ideas of running the Mexican government and offer ed himself for the prov isiopal prest- dency, he was arrested together with his followers here. l. vas quite re gently that David de h Fuente was arrested in connection with this Gomez affair All the men have giy en bonds.
 This has been an era Of ''istas in Mexico-Maderistas, heyistas, Vas uistas, Carranzistas, HuertiStas, Por- tiristas, Villistas and ZaDatistas' with an "autista" for every one of these. Most of these lave gone out of existance until today the fight has narrowed down to the Car ranzistas or Constitut:onalistas and the villistas or Zapatistas. The claims of each faction are exploited in the Mexican newspapers which have been springing up like mush- rooms until today there are more publications of the spanish Ian guage in San AntOnia than English.
 The Carranzistas have C repres- entative or "consul' here, Teodulo Beltran, who has a suite of we'll appointed offices where he receives visitors and transacts husiress con- cerning the affairs Of the constitu- tiOnalistas.
