Agricultural High School
Dots.

Our school began ITS after
Christmas session Monday, Jan.
3. with an increased attendance
five new pupils In the dormlto-
ries.
Every one seemed to have had
a good Christmas IN spite OF the
war and the panic. Pupils and
teachers have gone to work with
a vim and earnestness that bids
fair to make this the best session
IN the history of the school.
Mr.. j. E Reed who was with
rs the first half Of last term is
back again. ne has been work
ing IN Memphis since leaving
here IN order to be able to come
back and finish his grade He is
a splendid gentleman and the
High School is glad to have him
again.
Mr.. c.. K. Sanders, another
fine oey. has also returned and
IS now at the dormltory.
Mr.. Leland Stiles has moved
INTO the dormitory and is making
himself quite at home on the
campus.
Mr.. Mel Burgin of Mayhem
has joined our campus squad, =
too. We hope he VIII be pleased
and benefited by his association
with us.
Miss Willie Moore Clark. Of
.-Knsciusko. the attractive little
of "Our MISS Lovey,' is
ed among our dormitory
and the tenth grade are
S 5ngratulating themselves that
she is of their number.
The new pupils are desirable
additions to the school and we
extend a cordial welcome to each
of them.
Miss Sarah. Francis Rowan, of
the Industrial Institute and Col
lege at Columbus, will address
the Parent-teschers ASSOCIATION
of Longview, Feb. 4. 1t WILDE
a treat to hear her and we hope
for a full attendance on that
date.
We sympathlze with Mr.. Jeth-
70 Shurden in the loss CT his
young brother, and the conhn-
ned ill health of his mother. We
trust he can soon be with us
again. He Is an earnest, good
pupil, and the school would re
gret to lose HIM.
The Sunbeams had most de-
lightful party at the pretty home
of Mr.. Jack Wallace Friday eve-
ming. There we're sixty-two
present. all joining IN the inter
esting games and plays. Dainty
refreshments. prepared by the
home science girls, were served
and the. entire evening was
thoroughly enjoyed.
The patrons of the Public
School have arranged to contin-
ne their school by subscription
after the public term closes, and
thus correlate with the high
school. This is a necessary and
commendable step toward build
ing up successful school.

connections of the rebel movement with
the Germans, the viceroy said there was
an absolute certainty the rebellion was
timed to take place with the knowledge
of Germany and was intended to bring
about the withdrawal of troops from
England to Ireland.
"As to the landing of Sir Roger Case
ment," said Baron WimbOrne, that was
all arranged in Germany with the con-
nivance of the Sim Feiners. On the
night of his arrest a motor car upset

AVIATOR FRIGHTENS NEW YORK!
RAID SHOWS UP UNPREPAREDNESS
De Lloyd Thompson Creating
Sentiment for Preparedness
by Showing Just What Could
Be Accomplished

NEW YORK, April 3s.-De Lloyd
Thompson, an aviator. is arousing sentl-
ment for preparedness by showing what
enemy aviators could do to our big cities
has carried his campaign of "frighttul-
ness from Washington to New YORK.
By dropping bombs filled. with
harmless explosive, Thompson has
shown in a startling manner just what
might happen to an American city II an
aviator of a foreign government should
decide to give our citizens taste OF
"frightfulness."
In this way, Thompson says. ne VIII
awaken the people to the need OF a great
fleet of aircraft.
In Washington, a few days before he
arrived in New York the aviator dropped
bombs on the administration buildings
without arousing any great excitement,
because most of the people in the capital
mad head Of his plan.
In New York, however, he gave the
people quite a scare. Many of them did
not know that the raid" was only n
display, and in the lower East side,
where the population is largely foreign,
there were wild rumors that the city had
been attacked by the aerial fleet OF some
mysterious enemy.
"This country has shown lot of sta
tistical arguments on preparedness and
why we should build up Defense, said
Thompson, but today we are no further
advanced than when the campaign start
ed
"If we could have a real battle be-
tween two battle cruisers off Sandy
Hook in which one of them (say, the
type of foreign boat that eXcels ours)
would sink the American, with the at
tending loss of life, everybody would
rave and storm to have our battleships
made efficient.
1.-The same would be true if Krupp

nrefer to do So and we believe the
shorts would be a little cheaper food for
hogs at the prices per ton mentioned IN
your letter than corn. You couId only
feed a limited amount Of cotton seed
meal to these hogs if you intend to pen
them. 1t seems best to feed cotton SEED
meal in a fermented condition ana Tor
periods not in excess of so to 80 days.
only one part of cottonseed meal should
be fed to five parts of the combination
mentioned above. The animals should
be watched, and if they show evidence
of sickness the cotton seed meal should
be discontinued It has been suggested
that cotton seed meal can be fed in
association with copperas without in
furious results. The practicability of
this practice has not been widely dem
onstrated as yet insofar as we have
been able TO gather. If you can run
these hogs on some grazing crops for
a little while, such as oats, wheat or
rye, you can grow them off and finish
them to pretty good advantage on these
grains. We think you can make as
much as 200 to 400 pounds of pork per
acre from grazing crops of the charac-
ter mentioned. This would probably OBJ
viate the necessity of your buying the
expensive grains about which you
write Under the circumstances, how
ever the combination suggested above
is the best you can use at the present
time. Of course, you understand that
when you finish an animal you make
each pound of body weight worth the
same amount of money, and if you can
make your actual gain without loss on
the fodstuffs suggested. then the in
creased or improved value of the whole
body weight will leave you a fairly
good margin.

Upon Statement of Miss War
rem of St, Louis, President
Wilson Bases Conviction
That Sussex Was Tor
pedOed

ST. LOUIS. April 29.-NIiss Gertr,sde
Warren, of st. Louis, is playing about
as Dig a part in the submarine crisis
between the United States and Germany
as any other one person.
TX is on the word of Miss Warren. ac-
cordlng to high authority that Presi-
dent Wilson bases his conviction that
the channel steamer Sussex. CARRYING
American citizens, was torpedoed near
Dieppe, France
MISS warren was a passenger on the
sussex. In her affidavit, forwarded to
the president by Ambassador Sharp, she
says she saw the wake of torpedo.
In his note to Germany President Will
son said the attack on the Sussex was
manifestly indefensible and caused a
loss Of life SO tragical as to make it
stand forth as one of the most terrible
examples Of the humanity of subma-
rine warfare as the commanders of Ger
man vessels are conducting it.
Here are the events with the dates
on which they took place which led up
to the present German situation:
February 4, 1915: Germany declared
all waters around Great Britain a war
zone after February is; and announced
that every merchant vessel found there
would be summarized.
February 10: The United states
warned Germany it would be held TO
'strict accountability" for any trench
ment on American life or property
February 16: Germany replied the
unfairness of Great Britain's blockade
and the necessity of self-preservation
would force it to a continuance of this
policy.
April 80: American steamer Gulflight
torpedOed and three killed.

DUBLIN, April 29-Baron Wimborne,
lord lieutenant of Ireland, expressed to
the Associated Press at the vice regal
lodge today the assurance that the sed-
tious movement would be suppressed in
the course of few days.
The viceroy was full of praise for the
loyalty displayed by the great majority
of the irish people and considered the
momentary success gained and the DAM
age done by the rebels as small when
viewed in connection with the surprise
of the outbreak and the evident prep
arations made for it.
The country outside of Dublin except
for few isolated places has, he declar-
ed, remained peaceful
Baron Wimborne, wnen requested to
give an account of what had happened
since the Irish rebels had proclaimed
an Irish republic last Monday after
noon, said.
THE outbreak began Monday morning
about 1880 o'clock. About that time
information was received that Dublin
castle had been attacked, ST. stephen )
Green occupied and the post office seiz-
ed by the rebels. Telephone cUmmuui-
ication with the Curragh camp was i'm
Immediately obtained by the authorities
and the reserve troops there were
brought to Dublin that night and the
following morning.
Meanwhile the situation at the cas-
tie which had never been captured by
the rebels, was strengthened. The only
casualty there was the shooting of a
policeman at the gate. y very few
hours after the outbreak large forces
had been assembled in the castle, which,
however, was never in real danger.
ONE GREAT MISTAKE.
I THE rebels had cut Geographic COM
munications with the country districts
and England, but had not succeeded in
discovering a telephone wire which con-
nected the Curragh camp with mead
quarters. This was one of their great
mistakes. They did not cut oommuni-
cation with North Ireland, with which
we have at all times been able to con-
verse.
"At one time, the rebels had posse
sion of the Broadstonery station, which
was not protected
Tuesday morning all the reinforce
ments we had called from Curragh had
reached Dublin, and since that moment
the rebels have not attempted anything
except from certain localities ana
houses. 1t is easy for them to abandon
houses by back doors and get away 20
other advantageous positions.
1.-The military cannot distinguish the
rebels from other citizens. Sometimes
rifles and cartridges and mingle with
the ordinary inhabitants. After taking
observations of the soldiers positions,
they return to commence sniping again.
Most of the houses they occupy they
