SCHOOL NOTES ,
(By County Supt. Pearce)

On the basis of present information,
this office is warranted in making the
following statement: The Seville pub
lic schools have opened; Brunswick,
Lafayette, Medina village, and Spen-
Ger will open next Monday. It is prob
able that the following may open also
on Monday: Chatham, Leroy, Litch-
field, Sharon. Homer schools will
not open, the flu being worse there
now than at any previous time. I am
not able to make statement relative to
the remaining schools at this time.
Teachers seeing this notice should
get in touch with their respective
boards in order to be present at the
reopening of the schools.
The Victory Boys and Victory Girls
"Ean and Give" campaign is on and
must be pushed vigorously next week,
pledges to be taken only during the
week of Nov. 11-16. Principals and
superintendent of schools have for
the most part been put in charge of
this work and every boy and girl be-
tween the ages of twelve and twenty
is to be fully informed on this matter
and solicited to help.
The War Savings Stamp sales are
to be taken up in the same spirit as
before and pushed until we get our
quota.
The health of pupils should be care,
fully looked after by both parents and
| school authorities lest we have an in
crease in sickness. Pupils with colds
should be excluded until it is certain
that there is no danger in their, at.
tendance at school. Ventilation should
be looked after religiously, the room
should remain at the proper tempera-
ture. Now is a good time to put our
| ideas on hygiene to work. Let us re-
turn to, our work with the desire to
make UP as far as possible the loss
| our pupils have suffered owing to the
loss of time.

London, May 26.-The Daily Mail
correspondent on the British front de-
scribes the altered conditions of war

less than three days the operations
have changed from a war of fixed po-
sitions back to war of movement,

the struggle. H-A

Washington, March 25.-The third
Liberty loan, to open April 6 will be
for $4,000, 100000, and all over-sub-
scriptiOns at 4 IA per cent. interest
Bonds of the first loan, bearing 1-2

happening in France must fire the so,il
OF every American with a new de-
termination to furnish all the dollars
and all the material resources O.
America that are needed to put an
end to the eXecrable atrocities Of Ger.

In connection with the loan, the
secretary plans to establish q sinking
fund with which to purchase back any
bonds of the third loan thrown upon
the market. In order to aid in keep
ing the price up to par. The maturity
OF the bonds is yet to be determined
but 1t was officially stated that they
would be long term, probably between
20 and 80 years Other features whicj1
will be settled as soon as congress
passes the necessary legislation ars
the length of campaign and the terms
of payments on the bonds.

SENATE Fixes wheat PRICE.
ANOTHER FIGHT EXPECTED IN
CONFERENCE.
Debate Continues Five Days Before
Gore Amendment Goes i'm Agricul-
tulral Bill.

Washington, March 21.-The agri-
tursl appropriation bill with the Gore
amendment increasing the 1913 gov
ernlnent guaranteed wheat price to
$3.50 was passed late today by the
senate. 1t now goes to conference be-
tween the two houses, where there
will be another fight over the wheat
price.
The wheat price was adopted, 40 to
IS, after five days discussion in which
its advocates urged the necessity OF
stim ulating production and criticised
government price fixing. The bill
carrying appropriations of $4,000. 600
was passed without a roll call. Be-
sides increasing the federal guaran-
tee the Gore amendment also provides
that the guaranteed prices for the
1918 crop shall be based upon No. z
Northern wheat or its equivalent in
stead of the No. variety as under
existing law, and shall be payable at
local elevators or railway markets in
stead OF at the principal primary mar
kets as is done now. The provisions
are designed to further increase the
farmers returns.
Another provision Ia that guaranty
shall not be dependent upon action OF
the president, but is thereby made abb
soluae and binding until May 1, 1918.
Acceptance of the amendment by
the house is hoped by its champions.
But despite the overwhelming vote by
which the senate wrote the price in
crease in the bill. administration lead
ers do not believe 1t could prevail
finally If. as has been reported. the op-
position of the food administration
would cause q presidential veto. Un-
der an appropriation by the president
acting under the food control law as
1t now stands with the 81 guarantee.
the basic price for 1918 wheat has
been established at s2%o a bushel.
Senators favoring the increase argued
that wheat at $3.50 would not increase
the price Of -four beyond $13 or $3.50
per barrel. The price now Is around
$11 a barrel.
The senate struck out by a vote of
IL to 90 provision in the bill as
it passed the house requiring depart
ment of agriculture employees in
Washington to work eight instead OF
seven hours daily.
An appropriation OF $4,000 for
the congressional free seed distribu-
tion which had been eliminated by
the senate agriculture committee was
restored by the senate.
Appropriations of about $1,000, ,00C
were added to the bill in the senate
including $250.OOO to be offered al
prizes by the secretary of agriculture
to stimulate agricultural production
and s25o.00O for extension of work In
dehydrating vegetables and fruits.
Other principal appropriations car.
rfed in the bill include: Meat inspec.
tion service $4.0OO.O0O (increased
100000 by the senate), extermlna.
tion of Southern cattle ticks. $75O.OOO;

Waste OF ENERGY.

Much talk" in the rearing and train
ing of children could be eliminated
with great benefit to both child and
parent. One sees and feels constantly
the inconsistency of dissertations Gas
to manners and motives) to children
from parents who are themselves sig
nal failures as far as the effective
ness and efficiency of their own lives
are concerned, observes the New York
Evening Telegram. We must curb the
"don't" and the edo" to our children
and also to our associates until our
own manner Of conversation is more
Indicative of real thought than the av
erage chatter and talk of women would
sometimes signify.

Queer Uses for AlrpIanes.

The aviator is constantly finding
new lines of activity for his skill and
courage. In South America the air
plane has been used with great sue
cess In surveying remote areas, where
its speed readily outclasses the Ia
borious chainmen. An enterprising
mining company in Mexico is about to
utilize airplanes for carrying ores un-
der unique conditions. The ore is
mined at an altitude of some 10000
feet, and carried to the valley below
by pack-mules. The mules carry only
small loads, two-thirds Of which con-
sist Of fodder and provisions. Several
days are required to wind down the
tortuous path on the mountain side.
The airplanes can volplane to the val
ley in a few minutes, and have no
trouble with their loads In reaching
the 10,000-foot altitude.
