LAMBERTVILLE'S
SCHOOL PLANS


Board of Education, Wednesday
evening, March 7. Present. Messrs.
McClinton, Salmon, Woodward, Hay
hurst and Supervising Principal. In
the absence of the president, vice
president McClinton presided.
Secretary reported attending State
Federation of District Boards and
that legislation was approved estab-
fishing a department for supervision
of attendance and truant officers at
a cost not to exceed $500; also
that it was indicated local truant
officers were not under tenure of
office. Action favorable to atten-.
dance of local board members at
summer school at Ocean City, also
other legislation approved not of
local interest.
Chairman of building committee
reported having accompanied expert
sent by Piper Bros. to examine heat
ing system and that in his opinion
contract had been complied with;
that it might have been better if
there had been more radiation in
some of the rooms and it could be
spared in others; that in order to
get satisfactory heat and ventilation
in the new part of the high school
greater steam pressure was neces-
sary and that the heating of the
assembly room would be much less
difficult if doors to corridor were
kept closed and storm doors on first
floor were placed to protect stair
ways: that in his opinion there
would be little difficulty in warming
the buildings at all times if some
heat was maintained at night or
very early in the morning; that the
principal difficulty was want of ex-
perience on the part of janitors and
of intelligent cooperation with them.
He suggested that if this report was
not satisfactory the only thing to do
was to employ a disinterested expert
to ascertain the facts. Report was
received and final payment Piper
Bros. 1852 ordered.
Custodian reported balance cur
rent expense account $7266.15 bal
ance appropriation, $5045.00; bal
ance available for the year, $12,-
Bills. Balance bond issue after
paying Piper Bros, $506.23, with
toilets, high school library, approach
to high school and some furniture
yet to be provided for.
The supervising principal was d.
rected to have the pictures hung at
the High School and to provide
chairs for visitors during the pres
ent week.
Communication received from
principal of the High School re-
questing cooperation in encourage
ment of athletics and reporting that
fund had been started by the pupils
for that purpose. Was received and
the building committee ordered to
investigate. Supervising principal
presented monthly report, semi-an-
nual report and honor roll of pupils
for the first half-year. Received
and he was authorized to publish
the same in the papers.
Several cases of non-attendance or
truancy were acted upon.

GOOD SEED BED OF
MUCH IMPORTANCE
This Is The Year For Close
Farming, Says Commits
sioner John H. Page.

We are now approaching the
planting season, and we should not
overlook the importance Of good
seed bed. When the seed of any
plant sprouts it sends a tender
shoot upward to the top to make
the plant and a tender shoot down
to sustain the plant. The soil
should be loose above and below
the seed so the shoot above and
the root below can both find their
way and do their best to make q
strong, vigorous plant in early life.
This requires a well broken and
well pulverized soil, The disk har-
row should be used and all clods
should be broken up, A clod Is a
nuisance In cultivatins a crop and
Is of no more value than a rock,
Break up the clods by frequent
narrowing, by rolling or by use Of a
drag,
When q good seed bed Is made
and the ground we'll pulverized be-
fore planting the crop Is easier to
cultivate; the crop grows of better
in the early STAGES and grows better
throughout the season, The extra
work In preparing a good seed bed
Is more than saved In the eultlva-
ton later on. AS the ground Is
plowed manure should be gathered
up, hauled out and spread on the
ground and be disSed or narrowed
under. Do not let any Of the man
| lure on the place 90 to waste, but
use II all
If you have manure to use do
not try to make It 90 too far
Spread 1t thick as far as 1t will 90

your land needs it use commercial
fertilizer. Try to make some OF
your land as rich as a garden spot.
Follow this practice from year to
year and you will make a good
farm in the course of time. On the
land that is real rich you can grow
a good crop of anything, while on
real poor land you can make no
profit on your labor, and you would
be better off to let it lay out,
This is the year for close farming.
The worlds supply of foodstuff is
so small that the prices are very
high. Nothing but an extraordinary
crop will lower the prices. The
only safe way for the farmer is to
raise everything he will need If he
can, and not depend on buying Do
not overcrop yourself with cotton or
any other cash crop You can raise
everything grown on the fern
cheaper than you can buy it, Keep
this in mind Let us all work to-
eether for a good crop this year, |
will write you again next week.

Commissioner Of Agriculture.

lature. The accused senators are
both free under heavy bonds, and
their trials have been set for April
16.
In addition, both men have suf-
fered the disgrace OF having been
expelled from the senate by their
fellow members and the humilia-
tiOn of having seen their successors
in office appointed by the governor
of the state.
There seems to be no doubt that
Senators Sims and Burgess are
guilty as charged. To use a famil-
lar expression they seem to have
been caught with the goods" and
while it is hardly thinkable that
they are alone in their guilt, yet it
is probable they will suffer alone,
while others of the same ilk 90 scot
free. This is no justification for
the two accused senators, but it is
unfortunate for the state that all
legislative boodlers, both givers and
takers of bribes, if there be others,
cannot be caught in the same trap
and dealt with as the gravity of
the offense demands,
Senators Sims and Burgess stood
we'll in the senate and were leaders
of that body before the recent dis
closures They no doubt both have
many friends who deplore their
downfall and sympathize with them
in their trouble and humiliation
1t is no doubt true, too, that if Sen
ators Sims and Burgess could re-
trace their steps and live through past
events again they would resist the
temptation to come into possession
of money without earning it and
by corrupting themselves and their
obligations to the public,
1t pays to be hon est. The pre-
dicament Of Senators Sims and
Burgess will probably ruin two pub
lie careers, but it furnishes another
striking illustration of the trite
words which enjoin that your sins
will find you out.

we do protest that the making of a
new organic law for this state
should not be left entirely or by
any majority to the lawyers. The
interests of the people of Arkansas
are so varied in character that no
one profession should monopolize
the membership of the convention,
to the exclusion of many other
professions whose members have
an equal interest in the welfare of
the state and an equal understand
ing of the needs of the state and
people.
