Penny; the editorial by Wilma Weav-
er; The Cactus Thorn, by Aurelia San

are to be congratulated. This is GER
tainly something that the school should
be proud Of
Acknowledgment to the board of
education for furnishing the plant to
make possible this class of printing
is had on the inside cover, and surely
the board has been amply repaid for
their efforts in stimulating the efforts
of the Lincoln high school,
The Comet is a five-sheet paper,
printed on 9 II paper and is really
very neat and entertaining.
The cover design represents comet
in the ascendency, it being drawn by
VIM Bray.
Then follow some school notes which
are very catchy; then follow articles
by the editor on the "Strike Menace,
THAT Foreigner" by Miss Wilma Wea-
yer, an article on school in Ray by
Miss Theodore Boxall, "The Wise In
dian Price" by Pedro Simpson, "Theo-
dore Roosevelt" by Miss Geraldine
Pinching, ''The Cactus Thorn" by Miss
Sanchez, and the flag salute.
After the flag salute comes the di-
recory Of the Ray schools, listing the
board of education, the superintendent
and teachers Of the various schools.
All in all the sheet is quite a sue
cess and to finish the last page there
are some cartoons, very neatly done,
by Mr. Herman Cowen.
Good luck to you, boys and girls
may you continue to prosper.
We shall look forward with a great
deal of pleasure to receiving the next
copy of the exuberation.

and Major Wilson have been award
ed $4,000 jointly in recognition of
their part in the development of the
tank as an instrument of warfare

low color. Certain grains, such as
yellow Indian corn, probably in
fluence the color of the shanks, beak
and skin to some extent.
The condition of The vent, as well
as it's color, may be used as an in
dication The fowl which is laying
has a moist, loose skin at the vent,
while the one that has ceased to lay
has a dry, puckered vent Since it
takes several weeks after the hen
Eegins laying before the yellow in
the legs disappears, a fowl which
has recently commenced to lay may
have deep yellow legs. Her condi-
tion should be determined by the
physical condition Of the vent. Deep
yellow legs and moist, loose skin
at the vent would indicate bird
which had been resting for some
weeks, but was now laying. Pale
legs and beal1, with a dry puckered
vent, would indicate a fowl which
had been laying heavily, but had
very recently started to rest.

Trap nest records show that the poor
layer stops laying earlier in the sum-
mer than the good layer. The fowl
which ceases to lay and commences
to molt in July and August is usually
below the average; the fowl which
molts in September is usually aver
age for the flock; while the fowl which
does not commence to mott until later
in the season is usually above the
average of the flock

40 per cent could be culled with very
little loss.
