of what has been done or what is
about to occur, that the public is per-
mitted to know about it.
First of all, this paper wishes to
call attention to the truth that three
years ago this school was rated as
Class A. It means a good deal just
to have "Class A" attached to any
thing, but it means great deal more
when, in addition, special privileges
are given. In this instance, any per-
son bearing a diploma awarded them
by the Sank Centre high school may
be admitted without question, without
examination to any university or col
lege in 26 states. Not every school
can claim this distinction and it is a
feather in the municipal cap to be
able to say as much for their educa-
tional system.
Secondly, the clubs belonging to the
school are now connected with the
Federal government, namely the U. S.
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington, D. C. Since the outbreak of
the war, the institution has been
prominent in conservation work ant
has formed clubs for this purpose.
Each club has secretary which re-
ports at stated intervals to the local
club leader, Instructor Springer, on
the findings of their department. Mr..
Springer reports to Supt. Aygarn,
who, by the way, is emergency county
club leader and Mr.. Aygarn, in turn,
send in reports of the work and dis
coveries to the department at Wash:
ington. Not, only does the school
have ranking privileges, but to say
nothing of the practical value of such
work to each club member, is paid
800 year by the United States for
it's service. It is evident that the
work of conservation is entrusted to
the coming generation as well as to
their elders. There are but 16 schools
in the state that are connected with
the government in this way and Saul
Centre is prominent among them.

CONSERVING BREAD AND MEAT.
Farmers Should Take Extra Precau.
ton to Protect All Meat Pr0duc-
ing Animals from Disease.

Every citizen now realizes that the
two things in our food supply that
must be conserved are bread and
meat. This can be effectively done
not only in their economical use but
in using proper care to protect anC
guard the supply.
1t is needless to say that now i
the time of all times when live stock
should be carefully protected from
disease. A loss of hogs or other live
stock of the meat producing classes
is not only loss to the owner but i
is a direct decrease in the food sup
ply which should have such careful
guarding at the present time.
A loss of food grains from improper
care is another instance of loss in thu
food supply. All food grain should be
watched very carefully to see that il
is remaining in proper condition. FOOD
grains should not be threshed an
stored until they are in proper condi.
tion to store safely.
In many cases during the past few
months there have been severe losses
of meat producing animals and fooc
grains by fire. AS part of our pro-
gram of economy greater precautior
than ever before should be taken tt
prevent fires. Only in this way car
the losses of bread and meat to the
public be prevented.
Losses of the classes mentioned
above are not such in all cases that
even the owner can protect himsel-
by insurance, and in no case will in.
surance protect the public. Just now
the public is interested in the brcat
and meat itself and not in its value
While every one of our citizens mus
be protected against loss by any
means available to him, yet in add
ton to that it is his patriotic duty just
now to protect the bread and meat
supply of the nation by preventing it,

food grain or meat animals that are

lie and can not be restored. Guard
the grain and live stock with create,

the risk is now somewhat greater than
ordinary and it is a patriotic dut,
just now to do so. j. w. Shorthill

Great care is giving to the laying out

you little proud of your boy, not

exaggerate too much on this subject
and dwell on the aim of the military
authorities, rather than the results
obtained, but we leave this to your
own judgment. The opportunity is
here, and in fact you are made to
grasp it, to shine your shoes, keep
your clothing clean, your hair cut
and face shaved with equal regularity
and to conduct yourself in military
manner. You wonder at the boys ap
pearance and say it has done MIN q

not be unbounded when you realize
that conditions at one of these can

improved upon but we hope they will
be duplicated at least. Undoubtedly

ly increased, although we have about
1000 negroes in training at this
place. We may remain here for two
weeks, however, at Camp Dodge.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: International
possibilities still dominate all markets
and cause a waiting policy in many
quarters, though confidence remains a
conspicuous feature in trade and in
dustrial circles. Financial conditions
are intrinsically sound and banking
resources unprecedented, but doubts
about foreign affairs restrict offerings
of money and prompt business inter
ests to defer important engagements
for the future. Preparations are in
progress to meet an economic contin-
gency and some products have been
withdrawn from sale in anticipation of
federal requirements, government de-
mands already being a factor in GER
tain branches. With buyers and sell
ers alike adopting a cautious attitude,
new commitments are in iessened vol
ume, though in some instances the in
quiry has broadened and in all lines
current needs continue extensive, in
spite of the high prices. Weekly bank
clearings, $6,226,69s, 297.

TALISMAN BRINGS BAD LUCK
Tiny Stone Cross Is Blamed for Hav-
inc Caused Three Broken
Arms.

Once upon a time, long before Co
lumbus discovered America and real
ism had supplanted idealism, fairies
were wont to dance on the greensward
of the sylvan dales of Kentucky. The
queen of the fairies held court there
and with her brilliant retinue she daily
watched her happy subjects dancing
to the piping birds, exuberantly happy
and care free.
SO they danced until one Friday
when they received word that Christ
had been crucifed on Calvary. At once
the merrlment ceased and queen and
retinue and fairies high and low threw
themselves upon the grass and wept.
Wherever a tear fell fairy lucky
stone sprang up, taking the form of a
cross.
In years after these stones were
carried by the people of Kentucky and
other places as preventives of evil and
of accidents. Some of them are so
carried tAlay. There is one in Reno,
but its charm is gone, says the Ne
vada State Journal.
Recently Mrs. N. e. Wilson of Reno
went to Washington to visit her sister
in-law. This sister-in-law, a short
time before, had been given one of
these fairy crosses. While she had it
she fell downstairs and broke her arm.
She gave the talisman to Mrs. Wilson,
who brought it to Reno. Mrs. Wilson
had been home only a few days when
she fell and broke her arm. More re-
Gently her son, Whitman, had an arm
broken in a football game in Carson
City.
Mrs. Wilson now has a fairy tails
man which she is willing to give to
anyone who desires it.
