AR|STA DAY WAS
OBSERVED RECENTLY
Curtis High School Association
Hears Excellent Address
Many New Members Join
at This Time.
Special by Omitted Press Wire.


Tottenville, March 15-Arista Day
was observed at Curtis high school
last Friday in the school assembly.
Mr.. Halloran, as faculty represen-
tative, explained that it is planned to
extend the privileges of the Arista
to the 2-As and 2-Bs, forming into a
Junior Arista League tho pupils In
those grades who, in addition to the
required standing as regards charac-
ter and scholarship, have performed
some particular service for the school.
Doctor Tibbetts, the. presiding fac
ulty officer of the Arista League then
made a brief speech in which he re-
ferred to the death Of Doctor Gunni-
son, the father of the league. He in
troduced, as speaker of the day, Doc
tor TildSley, the new Associate super
intendent in charge of high schools,
former principal Of Dewitt, Clintno
and later of the high school of COM
merce, and a charter member of the
Arista League.
Doctor Tildsley said that the Arista
was planned to be an association OF
those who are aspiring for the best
and that the physical conditions
could nowhere be more suitable for a
high school containing such a league
than here on Staten Island, where the
location allowed a prospect SO wide
that it was limited only by the in
f1rmities of human sight.
He said to his young hearers that
in analyzing the best towards which
they were aspiring he should put the
pursuit of learning first, that was the
everlasting quest, the quest that we
did not think Of as ending with this
life alone. The pupils themselves
were the judges Of whether they were
learning as they should, whether they
were merely doing each days lesson
so as to get satisfactory mark from
the teacher or whether they were re-
ally learning SO as to get power.
He spoke Of the Arista ideal Of SER
vice and said that 1t seemed likely
that the present time or the near
future would present opportunities of
service for everyone. School life as
merely a matter of the preparation
and recitation Of lessons, but a por-
tion of life to be lived fully and richly
in itself and to be rewarded by the
opportunities of further service. Ser
vice, he believed, was ont only a
duty but a joy, and that the best SER
vice is given by those who turn their
work into the joy of living. Those
who lived rightly did not get tired Of
living, but grew in happiness as well
as in power.
DIR. Tildsley reminded his hearers
that it rested with themselves wheth-
er they should so use their opportun-
tiles as to develop themselves into
the. superman of whom we had heard
SO much of late, not the supermen Of
frightfulness, but of blessing, who
would use their superior power for
the good of mankind.

OF learning, but for learning and SER
vice itself.
The new members of the Arista
were received and greeted by Doctor
Tibbetts, and boy and girl leader of
Arista. Special acclaim was given by
the audience to. Jasper Durkee, last
terms secretary Of the General Asso-
citation to whose efforts is largely due
the splendid record of 100 per cent of
membership in the association.
The following are the names of the
new members of the Arista: Morris

KEEP PIGS GROWING

Keep the spring pigs growing all through the summer. It is the pigs business during thls time to develop a good frame, to grow bone, muscle and vital organs, and to Hay on fat. Plenty of pasture, some grain, exer- else and good sanitary quarters are all necessary if the spring pig is to be thrifty and profitable, say specialists of the United States department of ag- riculture.
 Give the spring pigs plenty of good pastureage. They should be kept on pasture as long as possible and gain the benefit of it's cheap nutrients, es- pecially mineral and protein, and its tonic and digestive qualities. But pigs on pasturage alone, even alfalfa, need some grain supplement. The amount of grain or other concentrated feed used would depend on how much pas turage is available, on the cost factor of grain or other feeds, on the age and condition of the pigs, and the time at which the farmer expects to mar ket them To be ready for the early fall markets, spring pigs must De Ted heavier grain ration than pigs in- tended for the winter market.
 Less protein supplement is needed when pigs are run on leguminous pas lures. Under most farm conditions the
 
 cent grain ration. The self-feeding method makes for cheap and rapid gains. If the grain ration is limited the hand feeding method is better. By feeding once a day in the early even ings pigs take greater advantage or the pasture and graze hungrily during the cool of the morning or afternoon. Plenty of fresh. clean drinking water always should be available.
 Pigs on pasture usually get enough exercise. They should have a clean, dry. well ventilated shelter to guard against exposure to storms and to sup ply shade. A concrete wallow will add to the pigs comfort, and layer of oil on the water will keep down lice. Clean bedding also helps to keep away lice, as will an oiled sack on a rub ping post, or sprinkling the pigs with crude oil every two weeks.
 To supply mineral matter and tonic, the following mineral mixture is good. It should always be accessible. Dis solve the copperas in hot water and springle over the mixture.
 Copperas two pounds, sulphur four pounds. slaked lime four pounds, salt eight pounds. wood ashes one bushel, fine charcoal one bushel.

oatS Yet as a bread making material wheat, at a higher price, does win its way against all the substitute grains, corn included. The answer unquestion- ably to this apparent conundrum is that man has learned in bread making to bring out all the inherent good qualities of wheat and has not learned this les son as to the other grain except perhaps rye. In other words, man has learned how to utilize wheat and has not yet learned how properly to utilize other grains. Furthermore, he has neglected the bread making possibilities of thou sands of fruits and vegetables apparent ly better economically suited for bread making than any of the grains. <
 Since he first found out how to use fire to cook his food, man has made but two ether really important food dis coveries. These are the preserving of meats and other pershables by salt, smoking or drying, and the use of leaven in bread making. These two discoveries are both prehistoric. The importance of leaven in bread making cannot be over- estimated, because without leaven wheat and rye would never have become leading food grains. Without leaven the culti- vation of wheat and rye would practical ly cease. Without leaven wheat is the most stubborn and intractable of possi- ble foods. Even an amateur cook can iIldhG dll culDit DItdu lTOIIl lHuIdu COIIf, or barley flour and water without leav- en, but a professional would be stumped to make anything edible from wheat flour and water alone. But with leaven, yeast or baking powder, wheat becomes the supreme bread making grain. in oth- CT words. wheat, the least suitable of all the grains for use as human food, with leaven becomes the most suited. This is because it is best suited for making that kind of food, bread which is the base food of all civilized peoples. Here we are at the root of the most significant facts of present day civiliza- ton. Man by the discovery of leaven has been able to raise one grain, and that in it's natural state the least prom ising of all grains, to be not only the prime grain but the prime food as we'll This marvel was wrought by prehistoric man. Can it be possible that chemists of this age cannot work an equal marvel with corn Or, if not chemists. the me- chanical inventors? It may be prob lem of chemistry, or it may be prob lem of mSchanics.'
 Tn short, what is wanted is a new bread, bread made of corn, potato banana, mandioca, or some other kind of flour, that will be as palatable, as cheap. as nourishing, and as acceptable to all the world as the bread made of wheat flour with the aid of leaven. Civ en s1ch substance, the food problem of the world would be solved, and we could easily make two loaves of bread where now we can make but one.

WORLD WANTS A NEW BREAD

In these parlous times of submarines, airplanes, and various other scientifically designed agencies of destruction, there is one fact that stands out with glaring pre- eminence-and that fact is that the world needs more bread Not many of us realized the supreme importance of the role played by the humble loaf of wheat bread-until the price doubled, and threatened to go even higher. Not only has the price gone up, but now we are being urged by governmental and other food conservation organizations to have at least one "wheatless" meal a day, and yards of newspaper space are being de- voted to the demonstration of the value of the dry crust that erStwhile found its daily way into the garbage can. Sta tistcans are presenting amazing figures to show how much flour would be saved to help feed the European allies if every breadeater in the United States would save but a single slice of bread a day. In fact, great many people seem to be busy telling us how valuable is the loaf of bread, and how scarce it is going to be, but very few apparently are giv- ing any thought to improving conditions by giving us practical suggestions as to how we may bake two loaves of bread where but one was baked before. The logical and practical way to meet the the situation when the demand for . product exceeds the supply is to increase the supply. To do this in the present instance seems to be rather difficult. The world in it's present state of bel igerency cannot possibly double it's pro- duction of wheat a A rye, the great bread making grains so .o double or material ly increase the supply of wheat or rye bread is out of the question. But there is an alternative viz, to double multi ply the kinds of primary materials from which to make bread. If we have not enough wheat or rye flour from which to make he bread needed, make bread from corn, potato, banana, manioca, or some other flour that will be just as good"
 There's the rub! To find process of making bread from some kind of flour other than wheat or rye that will be "just as good" That is the problem pre- scented in an interesting article in the current number of the bulletin of the Pan American union, Washington, D. C., problem which the writer is frank to say he is not able to solve satisfactorily himself, but which he states in mover and interesting way and toward whose solution he suggests certain lines of study and experiment. Why should wheat be the greatest of all bread grains he asks, and in this connection continues:
 Wheat on the whole is no more nutritious than the other grains. In any other form than bread its taste is no better and to most people is not as good as the taste of corn, or bucllwheat, or

WADE'S LETTER

There has been 8 tremendous increase in food and feed crops in Alabama as well as in all other states. These crops have been produced during expensive and stringent times. Naturally the farmers want and should have good prices for them Conditions indicate and justify high prices, but if farmers throw all their crops on the market during the fall, prices will go to pieces and remain until spring, when the farmers again come into the market for supplies with which to make another crop, then prices will again advance to enormous fig ures. Selling all at low prices in the fall and buying part of 1t back at high prices in spring is what makes farming unprofitable and undesirable with many folks.
 It is just as essential to cultivate and protect the market as it is the crop It is good business to prepare products in the most uniform and attractive manner and put them on the market gradually and only when the price is satisfactory. To do this necessarily means that more storage facilities must be provided at home. Corn, velvet beans, peanuts and potatoes should sell for s1 or more per bushel as the minimum price and if properly marketed would bring much lE age on the farms to take care of these commodities and keep them from being rushed on the market at sacrifice prices.
 Lumber, metal and paper building ma terials are high and many people are not able to buy them. It is a good time to get the old pine shingle mill in order. The old pine pole pen plan is not a bad one in times like these and offers an economical method of provid- ing storage that cost nothing except labor and nails. Farmers should get busy now on storage matters while they have time to make such preparations before the harvest time comes on.
 Whether war goes on another yeas or not, our people and the allies must be fed and it will take all our surplus crops to do it. By spring another year prices will have climbed upward as they did last spring. The farmer who markets gradually, provides his own storage and stops selling when prices sag, will not have room to complain, but the farmer who crams his whole crop on the mar ket this fall will see the worlds de- mands filled with his own products from the concentrated warehouses in the hands of the city speculator
 By all means provide storage, protect and price your own product, if you have to resort to the pine pole pen plan''
 J. A. WADE, Commissioner.

Where the South Begins

Anonymous. Down where the handclasp is a lit tie stronger, Where the smile dwells a little longer, Where the sun shines little brighter, Where the sand on the beach is lit- tie whiter. Down where the snow seldom falls in winter. Where the door stands open for all to That is where the south begins. Down where the skies are a little bluer. Where friendship is little truer; Where there is laughter in every breeze, Where the flowers are bending with the busy bees
 That is where the south begins. Down where the world is in the mak- ing, Where fewer hearts with despair are aching, Where there is more singing and less of signing. Where there is more cheerfulness and less of crying
