America and the War"

1t has been related that the pre-
sent war started about fifty years
ago. Germany had at the beginn.
ing very large territory. Prussia,
which was the largest state in the
Confederation, wished to form what
would be known as the German
Empire. Italy and Austria could
not agree on what lands each could
have; whatever one wanted the
other also wanted. After the Ger
man Empire was formed they want
ed to become the leading State in
Europe. Then they decided they
would become the leading Nation
of the world.
Napoleon 3, nephew of the great
Napolean, wished to rule Mexico.
He sent Maximilian to rule Mexico.
In the war he needed allies to help
him. Spain and England respond
ed to his call. They soon saw what
he was fighting for and stopped
About the same time there was an
uprising in France and Napoleon
3rd was taken prisoner and taken
to Germany. Some of the people
wanted to elect another king and
some wanted to have Republican
form OF government. They were
victorious in establishing Repub
lican form of government.
Russia tried to form a govern.
ment but was too ignorant.

NOTES OF THE HOLLY SCHOOL
Continued from First Page

tain matters and action began at
once. Two committees were ap-
pointed, one to find out the best
way to enlarge the association and
the other to arrange a pep" meet
ing.
Failure to support athletics in a
High School is mainly due to the
fact that the students of the upper
grades of the Common School have
not come to look on athletics as q
part of school. as they should. They
feel that there is a gap between
their school spirit and that of the
High School and hence it is easily
seen that the average lower class
men care but little for athletics. 1t
Is not knocking, but lack of inter
est. That is just the matter with
Holly now and it must be changed
and what is more, it is being chang
ed. The membership fee to the Ath
letic Association, for associate mem.
bers, has been reduced to SOC in
order to secure the cooperation of
the grades. They are responding
nicely. One OF the warmest little
meetings ever held in the old build.
ing was held Thursday, after school,
when the associate membership was
announced.
The first real pep" meeting that
Holly High School has had was
held Monday morning. 1t was the
kind OF enthusiasm that comes from
inside. that was shown. Every one
was yelling for Holly High, with all
the energy they had trying to get
more energy to put into it. If YOU
had been there you would have
said they got it, all right.

Question 10 Asked by Writer Who Evi.

the Breed.

Whoever designed the guinea hen
and composed the music for her vocal
organs must have used rasp for a
tuning fork. Guinea hens and their
husbands are alike in appearance !:

other. Their plumage is Of one and
the same piece Of goods. like the Quak-

heard the synonym of her melody.
Nature did herself a dreadful injus-
tice when she produced this variety Of
fowl and the farmer who gives her
board and lodging is no good Chris
tan. 1 say this because any man who
sells you guinea hen as youthful and
tender has designed to skin you. I
have a dim recollection of tasting one

ENFORCIBLE MILK
LAWS FOR TOWNS
First See That They Meet Local
Conditions, Say Specialists.
RECOMMEND THREE GRADES
impossible to Frame One Ordinance
That viii Be Suitable for All Com
munities Form Prepared
Which Will Assist.

Milk laws should meet local condi-
lions. Ordinances governing the dairy
industry must be prepared with care
and be enforced. officials Of the
United States department of agri-
culture say that 1t would not be wise
to attempt to draft q milk ordinance.
with its standards, grades, and re-
quirements. without a special study Of
local dairy conditions as well as the
purposes Of such an ordinance. One
Of the most important considerations
must be the reasonableness Of the
law. A law which works an unneces-
sary hardship on legitimate industry
Is not reasonable. and a law so strin-
gent that IT cannot readily be en-
forced will defeat its own ends.
Form Prepared to Assist.
In a strict sense it is impossible to
frame one milk ordinance that will be
suitable for all communities. The
bureau Of animal industry and the
bureau Of chemistry of the depart
ment. however, responding to a con-
slant demand by municipal authori-
ties for some form Of milk ordinance
that will best meet the requirements
and which can be used as a guide. have
prepared a form which 1t is believed
would assist in lettering the milk sup
ply.
Three Grades Considered.
A special feature Of the ordinance Is
the grading of milk and cream. which
Is believed to be Of paramount impor-
tance. A great sanitary and economic
question will be solved. 1t Is as
serted, II practical grading Of milk.
with the consequent grading or selling
price, can be enforced Three grades

Wouldn't Keep Sugar He Found.

Washington has another honest
man. He's Edward b. Maddox, who.
after suffering for the last two months
from the sugar famine, turned $40
pounds Of the precious STUFF over
to the Washington police. He had
found a barrel of granulated sugar
near the substation Of the Potomac
Electric company. Evidently the bar
rel had been dropped by truck. Mad
dox has been able to get less than two
pounds Of brown sugar a week, he
said. The amount of sugar he found,
on the war basis. would have lasted
him four years. He was not regret
full. however, that ne had turned the
sugar over to the police TO find its
rightful owner.-Washington Times.

Meat Supply 10 Inspected.

Every pound of meat or meat prod
ucts which reaches the mess tables Of
Uncle Sans fighting forces is in
spected at least twice by experts Of
the United States department Of agri-
culture - first at the establishment
where II is packed or prepared, and
finally at the camps. This extra pre-
caution is taken to prevent food made
unwholesome by adulteration or
through tampering by enemies from
reaching American soldiers and sail
ors. Laboratory analyses of samples
taken from supplies at the camps show
II the foods have been made injurious
by tampering.
Twenty-six hundred experts Of the
ment Of agriculture are stationed
throughout the country at establish
ments which prepare meat and meat
products for interstate and foreign
commerce. These inspectors person
ally examine the live animals. the car
cases. and all parts thereof at the
time Of slaughter. They continue tn
inspect and to reinspect the meat and
meat products throughout the differ
ent stages Of preparation. All meat
which is unsold. unhealthy, unwhole-
some. and otherwise unfit for food is
condemned and destroyed in the pres
ence of the inspectors. Some 20 in
spectors of this service have been de-
tailed to the various military and
naval camps. All meat and meat prod
ucts for the army and navy are OBJ
tanned only from inspected establish
ments. and every consignment must
bear the government stamp Inspected

NEED HELP ON MILK

A study Of the milk ordinances
Of many cities, large and small.
shows a great diversity Of opin-
ion among lawmakers and their
advisers as to what constitutes

great lack Of uniformity among
laws, some Of which are entire
~ out Of date. has been noted.
Many Of them seem to be tran
scripts Of ordinances In force in
other cities, placed in the mu-
nicipal series of laws without
regard to local conditions, and
some contain provisions which
are unnecessary and unreason-
able and cannot be enforced.
