Instead of trying to do all his work
by daylight in conformance with the
newest continental regulation. the pro-
gressipe American farmer is beginning
to have large part of it done by
night. Dyuanos are being utilized
on some of the great western farms
which supply powerful electric light
by means of which plowing, cultigat-
ing and harvesting can be done in the
cool of the night instead of the heat
of the day. The dynamo in use can
light large field. A tractor, for in
stance, Is fitted with two powerful
lights, one in the front to show the
ground to be gone over and one in the
rear that shows the burrows already
piowed.

PROTECTING The stRos.

Tha treaty ratified between tie
United States and Canada by which
i.o42 species Of migratory birds viii
He perpetuagly protected, will ultimate
u prove Of vast Importance 10 both
countries. provided the protection
which tie treaty eontemplates Is rigid
ly extended, says Cincinnati Times
Star. The signing and ratification eff
thts treaty will end long fight in
behalf OF the feathered tribe which
doas 30 much for public welfare. The
terms Of the treaty provide: First,
tigat no bird important 10 horticulture,
because of rs MISUNDERSTANDING pro-
rlivitics, shall he shot at amy time.
Second, that no open season on any
species Of game blrd shall extend for
a period exceeding three and hait
u1oaths. Third, that Doth countries
shall so restrict open seasons ON game
birds as 10 prevent their being taken
during the breeding season. As an
enthusiastic worker fer game prptec-
ton has put Ii. the new international
arrangement means tnat "every yari,
ety among our most interesting and
valuable American birds will be pro
tecteG from the Gulf of Mexico TO the
North Pole" The signing of the treaty
is triumph for public sentiment.
which, under persistent campaign of
education. has been reused TO the re-
auired pitch Of demanding action. The
mere ratification Of the treaty Will NOT,
af course, alone protect the birds. En-
forcement of the law backed by public
opinion, however, Will undoubtedly see
10 that. In due time the feathered
tribe viii enjoy in immunity from mo-
lestatIon aud a freedom for its heneti-
cent nirllstrations to mankind that it
has not known for a century.

EDUCATION BOARD
DRAWING DEFENSE
Two Minority Members on Sub
committee to Explain School
book Adoption.
WILL MEET AGAIN TO-DAY
Senate May Hear From Both
Sides as to Reasons
for Action.

All day yesterday and late into last
night a committee OF the state Board
OF Education worked on Il report 10
the state Senate dcfcndin, it's course
in Schooboole adoptions. Whether the
board. which meets again to-day will
sanction the defense drawn w by
its committee remains to be seen
Nothing would be given out last night
nor would the minority members. who
did not concur i'm the schoolbools adop-
u"n. indicate whether they would to-
day concur in q defense" of r course
of which they had not approved
Under resolution offered by Senator
Jcffrcys, the state Board of Education
was asked to explain why recent
changes in textbooks were made. The
issue has become Il live one before the
General Assembly, and already several
bills aimed at preventing frequent
changes in school textbooks have been
offered, while more drastic PROPOSE
tons have also been suggested looking
TO a change in the composition OF the
state Board Of Education. only three
c%-officio mcmbcrS-the Governor At
torncy-Gcneral and Superintendent of
Public 1nstruction--beinG now elected
by the pcoSc. These three composed
the minority which objected to the
adoption Of books of higher price
than were offered by local publishers
an adoption made by the educator mem
0ers not elected By the people.
TWO MEMBERS OF
MINORITY on SUBCOMMITTEE
The subcommittee named to draw up
the defense is composed of Attorney
General John Garland Pollard. Superin-
tcndcnt r. c. S,earnes and Harris
Hart, superintendent of the schools in
Roanoke.
III this answer to the Senate rcsolu-
ton is adopted by the State Board of
Education to-day. it may mean that
II will be the sole answer to the SEN
ate OF this interesting question. If it
is not adopted, there is room for belief
that a minority report will be
handed in.
When the last book adoption came
up for discussion in 1914, the board in
Vited bids on the new adoption. When
these bids were opened, II was found
that the prices on books had been con-
siderably advanced. and it was freely
stated that in several Instances the
prices were higher than are charged
for the same books In other States. 4
~'tiA'tttbSc W 90 stpppIHltu, anu II was
reported that the publishers were ask
ing too much for the books. All bids
were then thrown out and new bids
were called for. All old contracts were
extended for one year, and new COM
mittees were appointed to investigate
prices.
When the new bids were opened. the
only company, practically. to make any
reduction was the e. +. Johnson Pub
fishing Company. OF Richmond. This
company reduced its first price by 10
per cent, provided it's entire list of
books was retained.
LOCAL COMPANY LOST
TO HIGHER BIDDERS
By a vote of to s the Johnson
company's books were discarded and
the higher priced books adopted in lien
of those discarded. Governor Stuart,

Representative Hay proposes to iii
existing regiments up to full war
strength and increase only tho numacr

Garrison has asked for additional
skeleton regiments OF infantry and
artillery TO make up tactical divisions.
Opinion of army officers who have tcsti-
fed has been divided on this point, but
committee members think they can
reach an agreement among them
selves.
An element OF the committee favors
continuance of the practice OF govern
ment manufacture of army muniticns
