THE MINERAL POINT
HIGH SCHOOL
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

During the assembly period Friday,
Miss O'Dowd's fourth grade gave all
exercise consisting of patriotic songs
and flag salute. After this exercise Mr.
Taylor gave talk on Lincoln and Mr.
Davies talk on the Flag. These ex-
ercises were much enjoyed by students
and teachers. Miss O'Dowd's pupils
also sang for the seventh and eighth
grades.
The Sophomores had their class par
ty at the high school building last Fri
day night from to II o'clock.
The basket ball boys go to Lancaster
to meet the high school team of that
place on Friday night.
The basket ball team lost a hard
fought game on the Hollandale floor
last Saturday night by score of Is to
7. This is the same team that defeated
Mineral Point here by score of SO to
10 earlier in the season, and the com
parison of scores speaks for the i'm
provement of the local team in the
meantime. The support given to the
high school teams in other towns has
been revelation to the boys and they
wonder why the people of Mineral
Point do not give better support to high
school athletics. OF course the team
has lost most of it's games, but this was
expected as this is the first year our
high school has played basket ball.
This is one reason why the game
should be we'll supported. The team
reports a royal treatment at Hollandale
and the best of relations exists between
the two schools.

The literary societies of the high
school gave some very interesting pro-
grams on Friday. There were two
special programs, the Wisconsin, by
the Junior class and the "W ashington"
by one section of the Freshman class.
The members of the Board of Edu
cation with their husbands and wives
and Superintendent and Mrs Rood were

Also Farm in France
BY HENRY WOOD
United Press Staff Correspondent

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, April
10.-By Mail)-The service OF agri-
culture is now one of the regular
branches OF the French army.
Il is just as much an integral part
OF the French machine as a whole as
is the infantry, the cavalry, the artil
lery, the engineers or the aviation.
Military agriculture is one OF the
latest developments OF modern war
fare along with such as gas masks,
the rehearsing OF battles before they
are fought and aerial torepdoes. While
the present great European conflict
has demonstrated that war must ever
be destructive, and possibly more
destructive than ever before. yet the
constructive basis on which the
French seek TO conduct It has de-
veloped numerous possibilities for
lessening and repairing the destruc-
tiyeness.
In a general way the object Of this
Service OF Agriculture is to keep the
farming in the entire war zone and
especially in the immediate vicinity
of the front lines up to its normal and
maximum productiveness. II is now
rs much the duty OF every soldier in
the French army TO help in these agri-
cultural iabors. as It is TO fight
While the army as a whole contributes
not only the farm laborer but also
the horses and even part OF the i'm
plements necessary.
The agricultural work 10 be done
i'm the war zone divides itself into
three general classes. First Of all
the extending OF enough help TO the
farmers still living in the zone TO en-
able them TO plant and harvest their
crops. Secondly. nearer the front
where the civil population has been
obliged TO fec entirely and where the
i farms are completely abandoned. the
army must take over all this ground
and cultivate it itself in precisely the
same manner as though the farmers
/ themselves were still there. Thirdly.
as fast as French soil is won back
from the Germans the Agricultural
Service must undertake the restor-
ing Of this ground to a state Of fer
tility and the planting OF it in crops
at the earliest possible moment
Every general commanding on the
French front is required to divide his
each one comprising on an average OF
twenty to twenty-five villages or farm
ing communities. In addition to the
general officers that are designated
for the administration Of the agricul-
tural service an under-officer. who Is
chosen because OF his agricultural TT
ness is assigned to each sector and
remains permanently in charge OF the
agricultural work there, regardless oI
where his regiment may be moved
afterwards.
In the meantime the prefect oi
each department in the war zone is
required to make out list of all agri
cultural work that needs to be done
together with the degree OF urgency
and place it at the disposition OF thu
military officer in charge OF each sec
tor. The prefect must also provid'
the tools and the grain and seed 70

there for fighting. they must perforr

to be done. Likewise, when troops

When the troops move on they leave
a report with the permanent military

ing just what they have done so that
when the next troops come along they
can take up the work where the others

One and only one iron-clad rule has

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON, May 1o.-The
United States Government is urging
increased raising OF pigs. Tho meat
supply OF the country must be in
creased, and tho quickest way to do
it Is by raising hogs.
Concerning the production OF pork
the Department OF Agriculture has
tho following to say:
"The meat supply of the country can
be increased more quickly by the hog
route than by any other The coun-
try's need to augment It's supply is
great, but prevailing high prices
alone should be sufficient inducement
to farmers TO raise more hogs. The
prospect of success never was bright
en-. The high prices ruling in all
markets show that the demand for
pork is in excess OF the supply
For easy money the hog is un-
equalled. according to the bureau OF
animal industry OF the department
The bureau points out that the hog,
while requiring less care than the
average farm animal. obligingly cats
all OF the farms by-products. Kitchen
refuse, skim milk, scraps from the
table may all be turned into palat-
able pork in short order.
One point broughi out is that in-
creased production OF pork would
I lower the price OF beef
