PLAN ON FOOT TO
BUILD $4,000 SCHOOL
BLDG. AT LIMESTONE
Petition Being Circulated For This
Purpose and Practically Every CIT
izen Who Attended the Meeting
Last Night Signed II.

The people OF Limestone met last
night at the school house for the pur'
pose OF discussing together the pro
priety Of having a bond election for
the purpose OF building modern
up-to.date brick school building, at a
cost Of $4,000. Speeches were made
by Superintendent j. o. Buckley,
Prof. George NJ. Lynch, principal of
the DeSoto County High School, and
the trustees Of the district In behalf
Of the measure. Following the adj
dresses a petition that had been pre-.
pared was circulated among those
present, and practically every free
holder signed it.
The school at this place is making
quite a reputation under the uper'
vision Of the live young principal,
Norman W. Hart. who is editing a
monthly school journal that Is at
tracing much attention and is liber
ally supported by the citizens. The
paper Is not conducted for profit, and
should appeal TO every loyal citizen Of
the community. Mr.. Hart says the
paper has some 40 or 80 out Of state
subscribers, and it is still seeking 9th
er fields to conquer.
The school also has a library con
sisting II about 200 volumes, and
much encouragement is being given to
this very important part. Of school
work. The teacher and pupils request
that copy OF the Daily News shall
be sent them for their library, and
this shall he done, regardless Of the
price Of white paper. Nothing must
stand In the way OF giving informa-
ton to our boys and girls and all we
ask is that they shall read II. Moth.
ing ever found in the columns Of the
News will hurt them. This we guar
antee.
The meeting concluded with an
oyster supper, which was given for
the purpose of raising money with
which to ut out their manual training
room. This was also a success, and
work along these lines will begin at
once.

COOLING MILK IMPORTANT.
Dairy Farmer Should Store An Album.
dant Supply Of Ice.

Dairy farmers In localities where
natural Ice is available should make
preparations this fall to store an
abundant supply Of ice for use next
summer. The ice pond should he
cleaned out and the ice house put IN
repair before Storing commences.
To get milk IN good condition to
market, the dairy experts OF the
United States department of agrlcul-
ture estimate that the farmer should
store one-half ton Of ice per COW il
cream Is to be produced, and 2 tons
per COW II whole milk is to be ship
ped. This quantity, If properly stored
should provide the Ice necessary for
dairy and household use for a year,
making due allow ance for melting.
Farmers bulletin 623, Ice Houses
and the Use Of Ice on the Dairy
Farm, contains valuable and timely
information on this subject.
Only through the use Of ice can
dairymen hope In warm weather to
get their milk to market with a sat.
isfactorily low bacterial count. Cool
ing with spring or well water is bet.
ter than no cooling, but such water
is not cold enough to chill the milk
to the point where bacteria cease to
multiply rapidly. These bacteria,
which gain access to the milk during
its production and handling multiply
surprisingly as long as the milk is
warm. This causes the milk to sour
or to take on undesirable flavors, and
some Of them may spread disease,
Icing milk on the farm, therefore, Is
highly important even in moderately
cool weathe.. lnasmuch as much
market milk Is many hours old be-
fore il is consumed, It also is impor'
tant to keep 1t as cool as possible
throughout Its journey from the
farm tn the distributing point. and
the distributor must see that II is
kept chilled until It is delivered to
the housewife.
Never put lces directly into milk.
The ice may contaminate the milk
and add water as it melts.
1t is not economical to place warm
milk directly in tank Of ice water.
The milk should first he cooled over
a cooler through which passes cold
running water from the well or the
spring. After some Of the heat Is re-
moved the milk cans should he
placed in tank containing ice ana
water, which should come wen up to
the neck Of the cans. Frequent stir
ring of the milk with a clean stirrer
hastens the cooling process.
Many tanks waste ice 5ecause they
are too large for the number or cans
chilled. A small tank for cooling one
can at a time may be made from
barrel sawed To the proper height.
Insulating jackets should be placed
around the cans Of chilled milk
whenever milk Is to undergo a long
haul to the station or be long time
In transit. These jackets will help
materially in keeping it cold until It
reaches its destination.
