The scout volunteered that with
a bucket of water and a cup he
could from an upper window,
bottle the merriment among the
teachers to that room and he
was given permission to use his
own judgment and the water
as profusely as he chose. He
did. Soon after taking his stand

Faa lreau Notes
By Jordan
Pastui q Wheat.

This is generally considered an
unsafe thing to do from this
time on.
Lack of space will not allow us
to tell why. other than to say
that it is likely to cauje uneven
ness in ripening, which means
loss. Too much tramping the
ground also means loss.
Plants eaten close to the ground
must send out new tillers or stems
and in poor land or dry weather
this will not happen. We would
try at all hazards to avoid pas
turing from now on.
Should this not give Us the
hint that any year a patch OF
wheat or rye should be sown for
the purpose of early pasture,
even though it is to be plowec
under later? This will help the
ground in more ways than one
also.

officers was one of the livliest we
have had for some time. Mon
day night a sort of mass meet
ing was held at che court house
at which about forty of the lead
ing citizens expressed views con-
cerning improvements, reforms
sometimes regarded in that
light and listened attentively TO
all proposals for the betterment
of conditions commercial, moral
and sanitary.
The one thing almost unani-
mously agreed on as first in i'm
portance was waterworks, the
establishment of such a system
as can oe had with the money
raised on city bonds for mains
alone being deemed the most es-
sential thing for a starter. Next
improving the streets in what
ever way it can be done, prefer
ably by paving and after these
very important undertakings had
become accomplished facts to
proceed to other beneficial mat
ters with no intermission or
lethargy.
Candidates Rucker and Agee
for mayor differed very little in
their platforms for improvement,
both standing for waterworks
and paving as the first steps to
be taken. Candidates for the
city council were in accord with
the views expressed by others
and Steve Gordon, lone candidate
for chief police and city collector
assured all that he would do his
whole duty regardless.
One thing was impressed on
all by every speaker and that one
thing is really the most import
ant as a first step, Get Together.
Unless the newly elected officers
haye the hearty support of all
citizens, they must fall short to
just the extent opposition exists.
There can be no excuse for any
man or woman in the city who
offers the least resistance to the
proposed improvements, and any
and all who do oppose the ad-
vance movement should be sat
on summarily and heavily. The
fact that someone else may bene-
fit mere by any public improve
ment is no sort of ground for
opposition by any one in the
corporate limits. The plain fact
is that whatever is done which
benefits one is more or less of
benefit to every other citizen and
the man who says he will not
vote for this, that or the other
improvement because he
gets no direct benefit from it, or
assumes that he does not, is not
only making himself contempt,
bly, narrow in the eyes of pro,
gressive people but he is doing
violence to his own interests and
time spent in arguing with such
municipal incubi had better be
employed in efforts to spit in the
face of the man in the moon.
Fish or cut bait and you are
worthy to live in a town angling
for restoration Of business pres
tige; throw rocks in the water
and spoil the sport and the flow
of indignation will strangle your
enjoyment of your mean accom-
plishment.

Lice And Little Chicks

Few stop to consider that less
than a half dozen head lice will
either kill a little chicken or
stunt it in such a way that it
never natures proftably. Lice
breed more prolificly In warm
weather and the ravages on late
Matched chicks are more deadly
than with early Matched chicks.
This does not mean that early
chicks may not be infested with
lice, but when found they are
more easily controlled.
Treat the sitting hen with Sod
ium FIuoride any time during
first two weeks of incubation
and it is a rare case where chicks
become infested.
In case lice are found on the
chick grease its head and throat,
with a touch under each wing,
of either lard or olive oil.

Commandments.
