School Election.

The taxpayers of Lamar turned
down the bond proposition for i'm
provement of the high school last Fri
day by such a heavy vote as to make
it emphatic that the school will have
to get along with present conditions
during the term of the war. The vote
was 191 against to 48 for. Comment
in the face Of such vote is useless
but the Register remains unconvinc-
ed yet, and believes that there are
far better places to practice our econ
omy than at the expense of the rising
generation, the ones who will be ex-
pected in a short time to go to the
front, if this war lasts as long as
the experts claim it will.

Each Hen Should Produce
Ten Dozen Eggs Per Year.

The average novince can reasonably
expect to get an average Of at least
ten dozen eggs per hen per year from
his small flock In the back yard. On
the basis of two hens to each member
of the family, according to the depart
ment Of agriculture, this will give 20
dozen eggs in q year to each person,
which amount IL about halfway be-
tween the general average of farm and
city consumption. No back yard poul-
try keeper should be satisfied with less
than this. Every back yard poultry
keeper should try to get as much more
as possible.
To provide an egg a day for each
person, two hens would have to lay
1873 eggs each per year. This is by no
means an impossible average for small
fiocks. 1t is perhaps not too much to
say that in eases where the person at
tending the flock is practically son
the Job" all the time, that is. in posi-
ton to look after the wants of the
birds three or more times O day, an
average of better than Is dozen eggs
per hen can easily be secured, if the
hens are mature and in good condition
at the start, and have the vitality TO
carry them through year of heavy
laying.

July the Hottest
Month
August Is Often a Close Sec
ond With Extreme Heat

Throughout the northern hemisphere
July is recognized as the warmest
month of the year, though August is
often a close second and has many
days Of extreme heat. This heated
term in July continues, notwithstand-
ing the sun has begun its course Of re-
cession from the Tropic of Cancer.
July was originally the fifth month
of the Roman year and for that reason
bore the name "Quintilis." In the
Alban calendar it had SO days. Romu-
lus reduced it to 81 and Numa to 80
days. So it stood for several centuries.
1t was restored to 81 days by Julius
Caesar, who felt a personal interest
in Quintilis, as it was his birth month.
After the death of Caesar. who had
LARGELY reformed the calendar, Mark
Anthony changed the name to July in
honor Of the family of Caesar. 1t is
said this month was selected for this
distinction when the sun was most pO-
tent TO denote that Julius was the en-
peror of the world and therefore the
appropriate leader of one-half of the
year"
The SaxOns called July the ebay
month";" because the hay was usually
moved in that month. They also call
ed it the 'mead or meadow month
from the meads being then in bloom.

War Trenches, One of the
Most Ancient War Devices

The trench. consisting of a protec-
tive ditch with or without 4 defensive
earth work In front, is ore of the most
obvious devices of warfare and doubt
less one of the most ancient. 1t Is
mentioned in the Bible several times
and we are told that when David pur-
sued Saul and overlook him encamp-
ed, "Saul lay sleeping within the trench
and his spear stuck in the ground at
his bolster" Shakespeare knew the
military use Of trenches. In the play
of 'Coriolanus," laid in the time OF
ancient Rome, he speaks of the enemy
following us to our trenches" and
again of sour party to their trenches
driven" These and other quotations
that could be given show that trenches
are by no means a modern device. The
fighters of old knew how to dig them
selves in. The modern trench is mere
ly an Improvement and elaboration Of
IN old device.

How to Select Ideal Camp
Site for a Summer Outing

When you make your camp, pick out
rise Of ground where there is good
drainage. and where the trees are not
too thick, for good circulation of air
Is important, says Boys Life, the Boy
Scouts Magazine. Avoid large soft
wood trees such as cottonwood, poplar
and soft maple, as the limbs break of
easily in a storm and big branch
might come crashing down on your
tent and seriously injure the occupants.
Good campers do not pitch their tents
directly under large oak, elm. ash or
hard naples, as those trees are most
frequently struck by lightning. Avoid
rank grass, for that is sign of exces-
siye moisture. Never pitch camp in
narrow ravines or gullies, for frequent

torrents of water which would flood
