Plains May Add
Grade toHighSchoo

PLAINS, March 18-Tle Plains
school has been in session regularly
since Christmas. Up to that time there
had been much time lost on account of
the influenza epidemic. By teaching on
Saturday, the time is gradually beng
made up, though the term will close
! some time later than usual.
The High school at present is par
ticularly interested in the anticipated
addition of an Eleventh grade to the
course of study. This will probably
necessitate the employment of another
teacher for the coming year. The
, standard of colleges being higher now,
it will be imperative to raise the cur
rlculum here in order to make college
entrance. However, the decision still
rests with the school trustees as to
whether the grade will be added, and
as to whether the present Tenth grade
students will receive diplomas.
The Eighth grade had a contest
last week OBJ Memory Gems" of the
year. Georgia Harvey was awarded
thrift stamps for being able to give the
greatest number of quotations.
The girls of the Sixth and Seventh
grades are busy on some compositions
which they will read in public soon.
Blue ribbons will be awarded to the
girls having the best essay and to the
best reader
The boys of these same grades are
preparing orations for public pro-
gram, to be given soon.
The Ninth grade is taking up the
study of 'Idyls of The King" They
have just completed some Shakespear-
can work.
On the campus baseball is reviving.

Corncobs Converted Into
Valuable Substances

Washington.-Ab big middle west
hominy plant is to install on a large
scale the process for the manufac-
ture of corncob adhesive developed
bv the United States Department OF
Agriculture. This adhesive, a dark
brown, gummy substance, is sald 10
be suitable for use in making nDer
board and paper boxes, bill posting,
labelling and wherever colorless
adhesive is not required. The pro-
cess of manufacture is simple ana
the Weld is large, the grade A ad-
hesive amounting to as much as 40
per cent by weight of the corncobs,
and the grade B to as much as
80 per cent additional. If this mat
erial should replace all other ad-
hesives, enough could be manutac-
tured from per cent of the corn
pohs produced in the United States
to meet the demand. Use OF TINS
substance in place of starch, deX-
trime and -four paste would make
possible an enormous saving OF these
foodstuffs.
Corncobs have always been one
of the great waste products of
American agriculture, yet the chem
lists of the Department of Agricul-
ture, have proved that virtually the
entire cob can be converted into
valuable substances. About 81 per
cent, by weight, of the cob may be
converted into crystalline glucose.
The cellulose remaining after the ad-
hesives are removed is virtually
pure product, very absorbent, and
might be used for number of pur-
poses. Alcohol can be manufactured
by fermentation of the corncob
glucose. A certain amount of sugar
may be obtained from the cobs.
About 2.5 per cent, by weight, of
acetic is recovered as a byproduct in
the manufacture of the corncob ad-
heSiye.
