Confirmation of the nomination OF
Henry Clay Hall of Colorado to sue

The motion to confirm the nomination
was adopted. SO to 13. Senator's Cum
minis. Bristow. Clapp and Norris spoke
against confirmation, anc Senator La
Toilette had made a speech against ii

Diversified Farming.

The results of the Diversified Farm
ing Campaign being carried on along
the lines of the st. Louis, Iron Mount
ain and Southern Railway are becom-
ing manifest as the harvest and ship
ping period advances.
Already this season forty-one cars
of wheat have been received from
stations on the Arkansas, Memphis
and Valley Divisions which heretofore
have shipped no wheat and where
many thought it could not be success
fully grown. In all about two hundred
and twenty-five cars of the grain have
been.shipped from the cotton territory
of Arkansas, and millers pronounce it
the equal of any for commercial mill
ing.
Four parishes alone along the Iron
Mountain in Northeast Louisiana
raised over a million and a half bushels
OF oats this year, and the farmers had
little difficulty in selling their entire
surplus for an average of about forty
two cents a per bushel.
Twenty cars of corn have
been received thus far from stations
on the Arkansas, Louisiana and Valley
Divisions, which last year supplied
only two car The United States De-
partment of Agriculture estimates
that the 1915 corn crop in Arkansas
and Louisiana will be about thirty six
million bushels in excess of that pro-
duced in 1914. In view of the many
requests the Iron Mountain Agricul-
tural Department is receiving for in
formation regarding the handling and
marketing of corn, Mr.. d. G. Welty,
Commissioner of Agriculture, has is
sued a large placard on the subject
and it is being placed in every wait
ing-room along the line in both those
States. This placard gives valuable
information as to gathering the grain,
storing it on the farm, f~umigating it
for weevils, preparing it for market
and grading it. 1t also calls attention
to the Importance Of selecting seed
corn in the field.

School Notes.

The Seniors. who were to have Civ
en- the play, Prank Glynn's Wife,
were compelled to change their plans
at the last moment on account of the
absence Of one member of the class.
The Seniors, however, rallied to the
occasion by giving an excellent vol
untary program which consisted of
six numbers as follows;
Piano Solo, Catherine Anderson;
Reading, Mabel Dixie; Instrumental
Duet, Louise Gross and Catherine An
derson; Jokes, Virginia Collins; Read
ing, Camille Mari; Vocal Duet, Vir-
ginia Collins and Gladys Bishop.
Mr. G. w. Hanson, County Superin-
tendent of Schools, visited the High
School Friday, and made a talk in
which he said that the High School
was badly in need of more room.
We are always glad to have visitors
but n source Of embarrassment to
the High School is the ov~er-crowded
conditions and hence there are no
spare seats for visitors.
The following High School students
have a grade of 100 per cent in de-
pertinent for the first six weeks of
school: Lily Conway, Dewey Haven,
lola Patterson, Willye Shular, Emma
White, Louie Robinson, Flora Signer,
Stella BeardsleS, George Farrar, Anna
Smith, James butcher, Mabel Dixie,
Camille Mari.
Next Friday, October 22d, the
Juniors will give a short play entitled
"Gammer Gurton's Needle" which
was the first English Comedy after
"Ralph Rarpter Doister." The play
is a domestic comedy and represents
the life of the English Peasant class.
Please remember we are always
glad to have visitors, and if you can
come we will make room for you.
The High School is being conducted
in three small rooms, and these rooms
are badly ov~er-crowded. One of them
is used both as a study hall and recita-
ton room, and as a result neither
the study period nor the ~recitations
can be very successfully conducted.
More room is badly needed.
