der to insure their delivery on

Arrangements have been made for

In furtherance of this, Postmaster
General Burleson, jointly with the
Secretary of War and the Secretary
of the Navy, have issued the follow
ing notice to the public:
Delivery Christmas Morning.
To the public: The time is APP
preaching to give thought to bring
ing Christmas cheer to the American
soldiers and sailors abroad.
Arrangements have been perfected
whereby the Christmas mail to the
American expeditionary forces in Eu-
rope is to be delivered by Christ
mas morning. Without the fullest
cooperation on the part of the pub
lie it will be impossible to accomplish

a happy Christmas at the front are
mail early, address intelligeptly, and
pack securely. For this reason it is
urgently requested that all persons
having Christmas mail for the sol
diers and sailors and the civilian
units attached TO the army in Europe
observe closely the following direc-
tons:

interest that needed legisla-
ton to put into effect, finished
its work and adjourned Friday.
The questions Of most i'm
portance and which received
first attention, were the appro-
priation bill providing funds
necessary to run the schools
until January first, 1918. I'm
der the law as it has been writ
ten many years, the appropria-
tons for common school pur-
poses have been made from
October to October of each
year, leaving a gap from Oc-
tober to January in which there
was no money in the treasury
to pay teachers for the first
sch Iastic months until the leg
islature met in January and
made the appropriations 70
cover the distributions fUr the
fall months. This worked
quite a hardship on the teach
ers in those counties where ali
of lA.e school funds were used
at the close of the session in
the spring. Teachers in these
counties could draw no pay
until the following spring and
in most instances were compell-
ed to borrow money to meet
the necessary expenses OF llv-
ing. Hereafter, the appropria-
tons will be made from JAN
uary to January, thus covering
the entire year.

These losses car. te prevented by the use of lime and by proper methods of storage
 Lime Dust Method.
 Tn the case of peas and beans, the wol'l of weeviis can be readily kepj in check by storing them away IT, lime dust. For this purpose use air slacked lime dust This Is commonly found as W in many lumber yards Mix the peas or beans together with the lime al the rate of one part by weight. or lime dust 10 two parts, by weight. of beans or peas. The peas or beans may then be stored away with the lime in sacks. barrels, boxes or other containers.
 Weevils in corn can be prevented by husking the corn in the field. ir so doing you will leave most of the weevils ill the field Moreover, corn when stored with husks on will b. subject to about four times tn" amount of damage done through wee wills than ,tnhusked corn.
 In hukking have a division in the wagon bed. on one side put all th" badly infested ears and the other put the sound ears A box may be al tached to the back of the bed to re ceiya seeds ears. In storing, put all the sound ears in the back of the bin and those which are infested in iron of the bin so that the latter will b. used up first.
 In collecting for seeds ears, setec' ears with tight husks and well GOV cred tips. If this Ia borne in mind it will be possible in time to select |" strain of corn which will be practi callv wpeVil resistent.

 Raw rock phosphate has been found to yield profitable returns, but it is slower in its action. sometimes re- ouir1nG two or three years to produce results.
