THE NOTE TO CHINA.

The note which President Wilson re-
Gently sent to China was scholarly pro-
duction and long enough for a sermon,
that is, for sermon of that sort. After
it had been translated and set forth in of
fetal Chinese heroglyphics it must have
been most picturesque piece of itera-

and untimely, was superb in its diction
and when adorned by the oriental embel-

By the unqualified service of the

the manner in WHICH it pops big
fIaky plies of deciious popcorn.
Butter-Kist machines are the
only popcorn machines which
show completely the entire pro-
cess of popping the raw corn un-

raw corn drops at regular inter.
walls from a glass hopper at the
top of the machine into German
Silver cages which hold it on the
steel poping plate. This popping
plate rotabes over an even heat
The grains are not crowded
When all the corn is popped the
cages dump the fluffy white
dainties on to a conveyor chair
which draws them TO a butterlne
device. Each grain is thorough
ly and evenly buttered with tht
purest of butter. No unpoppeo
grains reach the sack, as they
are removed automatically.
There is always a crowd stand
ing around the machine. 1t il

Catherine Food for Bees,

A clever scheme, that appears to
have originated in Scotland, is to
gather pollen from flowers with
vacuum cleaner for use as food for
bees. The heather on wide stretches
of moors provides ample supplies, and
it is said that in some places the
young bees were mostly reared on this
pollen.

Will we use or neglect the oppor,

fulness. When the boys and
girls now of school age have
reached manhood and woman
hood there will be need for a
higher standard of economy and
wisdom for the work of life and
for the duties and responsibilities
of citizenship than we have ever
yet attained. Prompt and regu-
lar attendance at school and pro-
per employment Of out-of school
hours will prepare our boys and
girls for life and work in the new
age which will follow the close of
the war and the coming of peace.
Thrift, which has been taught ill.,
cidentally and somewhat sporad-
ically, ought to be emphasized
and taught practically in all the
schools. The wisest of educators
are welcoming work that will en-
able them to train the children
for practical citizenship and will
bring about closer relation be-
tween home and school.
The school should teach the
children things which make the
parents realize in concrete ways
the value of training for thrift and
economy. The schools of Boga-
lusa have tried to emphasize the
necessity of saving and the chill
dren are slowly but surely learn
ing the wisdom and necessity of
laying aside small sums earned or
given to them, for some definite
purpose. Another feature Of
teaching thrift is the gathering up
of old papers in the city, to be
used by the paper manufacturing
industries, lately established in
our city. The plan as followed
by our children in this work is
for every child in school to COL
lect as much paper as he can in
his own home. Besides this, the
city is divided into convenient
districts and two children who
live in these districts are appoint
ed to visit the homes where there
are no children in school and COL
leet the paper once each week.
The school children are allowed
to bring their own paper at any
time and it is taken care of for
them by the teachers and janitors.
All paper Is taken to central de-
pository, where it is baled once a
week and then conveyed to the
Louisiana Fibre Board Co., of
our city, that pays the children
fifty cents for a hundred pounds
of paper. The children collected
almost 5000 pounds during the
, first week, earning therefore
, nearly $1,000 for their work OF
, collecting old papers, which, il
not called for by the children
would have been destroyed by
