HOW TO REMOVE RUSTY NUTS
Soaking With Kerosene Is Often SUI.
ficient, but Easier Method Is to
Use Hot rs" Wrench.

by L. w. HAMILTON. Idaho Expert
ment Station.)
Soaking the nuts for hours with ker-
osene is often sufficient for loosening
them.
A much quicker method, and one
that is highly satisfactory, is to heat
the nut with al S wrench. Heat the
proper end to a bright red, then place
same on the nut, removing wrench
after a few minutes. The nut can
now be readily removed with another
wrench. The nut is expanded by the
heat, bnt not the bolt, thus %loosening
the nut.
Io not try to turn the nut off with
the hot wrench, as 1t Is easily strained
when hot.

MUCH HORSE POWER IS LOST
Full Use of Animals Would Materially
Reduce Cost Of Crop Production
More Work Is Urged.
fBy W. j. SPILLMAN)

Carefully conducted Investigations
by the agricultural department of the
University Of Minnesota, as well as
these conducted by the office of farm
management Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, show that
under ordinary conditions on Ameri-
can farms work horses are utilized
only about three and a half hours a
day On the average. Horse power is
thus utilized to less than half its ca
pacity. Per unit of work done this
power costs mor5 than twice what 1t
should cost. The full utilization of the
power actually available would thus
reduce materially the cost OF produc-
ing crops. The cost Df keeping a work
horse is on the average about $I25 q
year. The average utilization CT the
horse is about 1850 hours a year, at
an hourly cost OF ten cents per hour.
II We double the number of hours'
work the horse doe8-and this can he
done without injury to the animal
we reduce the hourly cost 10 five
cents.

OUR REPLY

The above writer takes the po- sition that there should be school established at Jelks. Let us look at the other side as there is always two sides to every question. In the first place, no one would contend that school would be a bad thing anywhere, so do not understand us to be taking that position.
 Anyone can readily see that if the school board should estab- fish a school at Jelks it would be setting a precedent, so in order to see if it could do this, it is necessary to followi it up, there fore let us investigate the matter.

day, else it will be necessary for them to begin with a new class after Christmas. Pupils in the fourth grade and up will be re- quired to purchase and use dic- tionaries. Penmanship will be stressed more than usual this year. School children are re- quested to bring their song books. Each pupil, for sanitary reasons, should have an individ- ual drinking cup. It's an excel lent idea that each pupil have for his own individual use all the books that he will need, even tho they must be second hand. School will be opened at eight o'clock and work begins at eight thirty, as usual.
 Miss Fife Dunlap of Brinkley will be our music teacher; Miss Rebekah Witherington of Mun- ford, Tenn. will have charge of the school expression depart ment. Miss Dunlap will prob ably charge $4.00 per month for tuition; Miss Witherington s. 50 per month. With new teachers in these two departments of our high school work, we hope and trust that you will encourage their work and give them your support to the fullest extent.

CONCERNING OUR SCHOOL
Editor Home News

Editor Home News:
 Having read your article in last weeks paper I feel that I should speak few words through your paper, fearing that your article might be little misleading. I have taken no part in trying to get school at Jelks except that l have said there ought to be a school at Jelks and I still say that. 1 also signed peti- tion presented by MT. Patterson for school at Jelks. If there is anyone who is interested in the advancement of education who will honestly say that they do not need school there, I would like to meet him and talk to him about it. 1 am only speaking of what is actually needed, not of the ability of the District to do. I am perfectly ignorant of the f. nancial condition of the District and do not want to be quoted as knowing the least thing about it.
 l have always tried to do all I could to help those who could not help themselves. There are children who, if they are com pelled to spend their school age in Jelks without a school, would never learn to read because they could not go to McCrory on ac- count of their tender age. Ev- eryone knows that after a child has attained certain age, with out attending school, there is not a very bright future for them, so far as an education is concerned.
 Whatever l have said, or done, 1 assure you has been done in good faith and no selfish motive has ever entered my mind. A school at Jelks would not help me make any more slaves, neith- CT would it help me to make any better ones. Will you kindly not mention my name in connection with this matter any more as 1t always makes me blush to see my name in the paper.
 Your Very Respectfully,
 l.. c. BAXTER.

SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY.

be opened on Monday, Sept. 13. We are planning to begin our school-year with an Educational Rally Day, the following program to be rendered.
 1000 11:15-County Judge Hutchins will speak.
 11:15- 12:00-Prof. J. w. Kuy- kendall, for twenty years supe- rintendent of the Fort Smith Schools, and now a candidate for the State Superintendent's office, will speak.
 At twelve o'clock dinner will be spread on the grounds and in the lower hall of the school build ing, and all our patrons and friends are asked to bring bask- cts and partake of dinner with us.
 200 2:45-Prof J. L. Bond State Supervisor of the Rural Schools, and now a candidate for the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction, will speak.
 2:45 3:3O MT. c. w. Watson State Agent in charge of dem- onstration work, will speak.
 At 3::30 Miss Emma Archer, Assistant State Agent, will give Canning Demonstration. The following is an excerpt from a letter recently received from Miss Archer: Il prefer to can tomatoes as a demonstration if you can possibly get them. One gallon will be enough if they are good tomatoes. Apples and peaches will do if you can not get the tomatoes Please bring along 9 few good tomatoes; in case yours have all been used, bring a few apples and peaches, or some late beans, or corn. We believe that Miss Archer's dem- onstration will be of special in- terest to the ladies, particularly the girls, of our city and vicinity yet the men are invited to take notes for the sake of future ne- cessity, in case their wives and others, do not avail themselves of the opportunity.
 If our present plans material ize, we shall have the best band in Arkansas, and one of the best that attended the San Francisco Exposition, the Wynne Band, to furnish our music.
 Let's get good start this year by all who have the least interest in the McCrory High School get ing together. One of the most sacred gifts we receive from the Almighty is the opportunity we have to commingle and exchange good fellowship. The happiest person in the world is the one who can make the most friends.

your child for many months, helr him form character, strengthen his mentality, mold his soul; and talk with her about your child's disposition, temperament, home opportunities for study, how much you are going to CO., work with her, and give her an opportunity to learn how much she may depend on you for help, encouragement advice and SUD- port for the school year. Such a talk will help both parent and teacher. We haven't teacher who doesn't intend to do her dead-level best this year, but it is just half as good as it can be when the teacher or the parent fails to keep in touch with the other.
 If you have few good pictures, pictures on the school room walls should be as good as any in the home, flower-pots, flowers flower seeds, advice, suggestions encouragement, vim, interest, a kind word, smile, or a lunch basket, bring it with you Mon day, Sept. 13. 1 know that Monday is an inopportune time for our good ladies to bring lunches, but don't bring so much, bring just enough. Fakes Chapel folk are fine dinner spreaders, but 1 never saw or heard of the time they didn' t have twice as much as they needed, thanks to their good judgment when supper time came; but let's each bring a lit tie and all have enough. Many men would starve were it not for the goodness of the ladies to prepare almost in every instance more than they can eat; but this will be one day, with a most ex- cellent dinner prepared and spread and eaten, we hope that all with war, rumors of war, and local contentious left at home shall see the rift in the clouds, talk about school and ed ucation, and make merry.
 The school children need not bring books on the first day, but they should do so on Tuesday, at which time they will ascertain the books they will be required to have for this school-year. All beginners six years of age and above must be in school within two weeks after the opening

plans await word from the man "who
can turn dreams into realities"
Mr.. Daniels idea of utilizing the
inventive genius of Americans in and
out of military and naval service to
meet conditions of warfare, shown in
the conflict on land and sea in Eu
rope, is outlined in a letter written
last Wednesday, asking Mr.. Edison
whether, as patriotic service to his
country, he would undertake the task
of advising the proposed bureau.
The plan is to have several men
prominent in special lines of inven
tive research associated in the work
Among the great problems to be
laid before the Investigators the sec
rotary of the navy mentioned sub
marine warfare, adding that he felt
sure that with Mr. Edison's wonder
full brain to help them the officers OF
the navy would be able Ito meet this
new danger with new devices that
will assure peace to our country by
their effectiveness"

CAREFULLY STUDIES NOTE

Secretary Of State Lansing Is Given
Instructions to Prepare Data on the
Diplomatic Problems Involved and
Will Confer With Mr.. Wilson Be.
fore Note Is Drafted.
Cornish, N. H., July 13.-President
Wilson received from the state depart
ment the official text of the latest
German note on the submarine war
fare and Immediately began consid-
Grafton of his reply.
He instructed Secretary Lansing to
prepare a memorandum on the diplo.
matte problems involved and will not
send rejoinder until he has confer.
red with the secretary of state.
1t became known after the president
had read the note that he does not
look upon the situation as critical,
but that at the same time he is not
inclined to underestimate the posi-
bilities of the problem presented to
him and is determined firmly to up
hold the dignity of the United States.
That the president will continue
his German policy along the lines al
ready mapped out in the previous
notes is generally accepted here.
1t is understood that there is no
immediate prospect of a diplomatic
break with Germany and that whether
there is any future break will largely
depend upon Germany.
1t was said here that there is no
present plan for Mr.. Lansing to come
to Cornish to confer with the presi-
dent and that the president viii not
hurry back to Washington.
His present plans are to return to
the capital the end CT this week or
the first of next week.
Probably he viii not have an oppor-
tunity to take the situation up with
his entire cabinet before Tuesday of
next week.
The German note came to the presl-
dent by telegraph and he Immediately
went into his study at Harlakenden
house to consider it, foregoing his
usual automobile ride with his family.
In the deep seclusion of the hills,
nearly half a mile from the nearest
road and n the midst of a pine forest.
the president sat for several hours
reading and rereading the note.
At times he went over different
paragraphs again and again before
proceeding to the part that followed.
