BRATTLEBORO LOCAL,

The Battle Cry of Peace, the big mo-
ton picture spectacle now being ex-
hibited in the Auditorium for three
days, beginning yesterday, was seen
by only small audiences the first day
because of decidedly unfavorable
weather. 1t is thrilling picture, show
ing the possibilities of disaster to this
country, in case of war with foreign
nation, because of the unprepared con
dition of the United States Battleships
in superior numbers sink the American
men-of war and she'll New York city,
troops land, buildings are shattered and
burned, families scattered, women be.
come victims of assaults, and carnage
and desolation are widespread. 1t is a
remarkable picture and well worth the
price of admission.

Classes i'm Session Last Even
ing for Inspection by
Parents
NO COMPLAINT AS
TO TWO SESSIONS
Teachers to Take Additional Interest
in Social Activities of Students -
Reception to Freshman Glass and
Dance in December.

In spite of the very disagreeable
weather last evening a surprisingly
large percentage of parents of high
school pupils were present at the con
ference of high school teachers and par
ents of pupils Of the school. which fol-
lowed an evening of inspecting some of
the classes at work and brief talk by
Principal F. B. Smith on the work Of
the high school.
Glasses in science, commercial de-
partments, household economies and
manual training were in session and
an hour was spent by the parents IN
inspecting the work of the various class.
es The wireless telegraph station on
the third floor Of the building and the
domestic science and manual training
classes especially appealed to visitors.
At $40 O'Clock Principal Smith
talked to the guests of the evening and
the teachers in the main room of the
building. He said that the constant
addition Of new departments and new
studies to the curriculum had made it
! absolutely necessary to have two ses-
sions of the high school. daily instead
OF conducting it as formerly with one
from q. m. to l p. N. The only al
Tentative Of two sessions would be to
have all pupils either bring their
lunches or buy lunches at the high
school and spend only half an hour for
luncheon. This might permit the clos
ing of the session at clock He said
that at present about 60 of the pupils
| buy their lunches at school In defense
of the two sessions daily he said that
| no one had said that it was a bad
scheme
He suggested that it would be well
if parents who had some grievance
would talk with teacher, for it might
be that what was wrong was not en-
tirely the fault of the teacher.
The high school teachers have de-
! eided to take additional interest in the
social activities of the pupils, and Sc
| rles of high school parties is to be one
of the features. The Unitarian parish
house has been offered free for four
class parties and the offer has been ac-
cepted
The reception to the members of the
freshman class is to be held as early
IN December as it can be arranged at
the high school building and will be fol-
lowed by dance that evening in the
Armory. There will be some sort of an
entertainment at the high school be-
fore the party goes to the dance hall.
The meeting then dissolved and the
parents were given opportunity to meet
the teachers.

KNOCKER OR BOOSTER.

When the Creator had made all
good things, there was still some dirty
work to do, so He made the beasts and
reptiles and poisonous insects, and
when He had finished He had some
scraps that were too bad to put into
the Rattlesnake, the Hyena, the Scor-
pion and the Skunk: so He put all
these together, covered it with suspi-
ciOn, wrapped it with jealousy, mark
ed it with yellow streak, and called
it Knocker.
This product was so fearful to con-
template that He had to make some
thing to copnteract it, so He took a
sunbeam, put it in the heart OF q
child, and the brain of man, wrapp-
ed it in civic pride, covered it with
brotherly love, gave it mask Of vel
vet and grasp of steel, made 1t a
lover of fields and flowers and manly
sports, believer in equality and JUS
tee, a worker for and supporter Of
every good thing, and called it q
Booster; and ever since, mortal mar
has had the privilege of choosing his
associates.

SEVEN RULES FOR CHECKING
BOIL WEEVILS.

In his second lecture at the A. e. M.
College this summer on growing cot
ton under boil weevil conditions, Pro-
seasor J. W. Fox, former director Of
the Mississippi Experiment Stations,
outlined system for cotton system
for cotton raising that will work in
spite Of the weeyil. He spoke at
farmers institute and round-table dis
cusson of the farmers Of the Delta
and Of north central Mississippi, who,
arrived on the farmers excursion
trains for a two.day short course in
agriculture. The speaker outlined the
steps necessary in doing good farm
ing TO beat the boil weevil as follows:
make the land rich. Plow land as
early in the winter as possible and let
it settle; where the land is the least
bit stiff or wet, bed il up in winter
Plant on firm seed bed Plant good
seed OF vigorous variety. Plant
plenty of seed-a bushel and half is
not too much. Leave cotton thick
10000 stalks to the acre. Last and
most important, keep the cotton eleans
cultivate once a week if possible. Ac-
cording to Professor Fox more cotton
is lost to the boil weevil from letting
it get in the grass than from any
other cause"
