REELECTION OF THE
 DYNAMO STAFF
Former EditOr-in- Chief and Bus"
 mess Manager Resign.

Quite commotion was caused in the High School when Editor in-Chief Haynie and Business Manager Bemis rendered their resignations to the High School students in assembly Wednesday morning. In a farewell speech MT. Haynie pleaded overwork and said he felt that he could not fill the duties of his office. MT. Bemis also felt the strain of over work and regretfully handed in his resignation. Following the popular example of "Woman Suffrage" the student body elected a staff consisting entire ly of girls. Miss Lillian Haltom was elected editor-in-chief and accepted the office with proper idea of the fulfillment of it's duties. Miss Jeannette Burns was appointed assistant editor, with Misses Mary Williams and Berva Hit, associate editors. Miss Lucy Mae Moore was elect ed business manager, with Miss Lula Beth Gee as her assistant. The reporters retained their re- spective places.
 It has always been a favorite saying of ours that a staff of girls were capable of handling our paper. Now is the time we propose to prove our statement. With the cooperation of the stu dent body of the High School, and the residents of Prescott, we intend to retain our standing in regeard to school papers among the schools of Arkansas. It is the opinion of prominent school men that a school paper can do more for the advertise ment of school and the business houses of the town than most any other agency, and we are convinced that this is true from real experience. Through school papers, students are given the opportunity of expressing their ideas and ideals. Long live the school paper"

POWDER HENS BY MACHINERY
Disearded churn Makes Application
Of Insect Powder Easy and
Quite Effective.

(By c. s. ANDERSON, Colorado Agri-
%acultural College, Fort Collins)
A hen may be healthy, we'll fed, and
we'll housed, but If she is overrun
with lice and mites she cannot remain
a profitable producer or a good mother
for the young chicks.
Under ordinary conditions. lice and
mites can be kept down by frequently
spraying the poultry houses, roosts,
dropping boards and nests and by pro-
viding a good busting bath for the
birds. When these precautions fail, in
dividual treatment must be followed
by busting the birds with some good
insect powder. In large flocks this is
very laborious, and the following use
of an old discarded churn may help to
solve the problem.
Put a cupful or so of insect powder
in the churn. Next put in the birds
one at a time and urn the churn gent
~ for a %half-dozen revolutions. If the
powder contains carbolic acid or some
other strong irritant, it will be we'll to
protect the birds eyes by slipping a
small cloth sack over their heads.
The rotation of the churn causes
the bird to relax and the feathers to
open, thus letting the insect powder
get well into the skin.

WAR RATI0Ns FOR CHICKENS
Corn ls Probably Most Important Food
for Poultry and Should Not
Be Overlooked,

In spite of the high cost of feeds a
flock of good fowls will continue to re-
turn a handsome profit. because Of
The great advance in price of eggs and
poultry. There is no cheap ration,
because all grains and feeds have ad-
vanced. Corn is probably the most
important food for poultry and should
not be left out Of the ration.
Cracked corn and oats may well
constitute the bulk of the hard grain,
using equal quantities by weight of

cent, will add variety, but wheat is
out of the question. Low grades and
screenings that do not contain too

Only the cadet who had consumed six

DAMAGED FEED FOR POULTRY
Before Buying Low-Grade Grain Make
Sure That It Has Sufficient
Amount Of Nutriment.

Before buying low-grade or damaged
grain to feed the poultry, make sure
that 1t has enough nutriment in it to
be worth the price you pay for 1t.
Grains that are simply shrunken. If
bought cheap enough, are sometimes
profitable to feed; but those which are
damaged in some other ways frequent
~ are almost useless and are expen-
siv at any price. When possible, it is
well to send samples Of this kind Of
grain to your state experiment station

TURKEYS ALWAYS IN DEMAND
Der Of Fowls There Is Increased

Because the number of turkeys in
the United States has constantly de-
creased in the last few years While the
demand has perhaps increased, a
more profitable side line than turkey
raising for those fayorably situated
for the work could hardly be found.
Given plenty or range, turkeys will
readily find grasshoppers and other
insects, green vegetation, the seeds of
weeds and grasses, waste grains, and
acorns and nuts of various kinds. In
this way the cost Of raising them is
small and the profits large. Grain
