has been heard regarding this. while our neighboring towns have been busy and are taking their chance with the others. A bill was recently introduced by Hon. J. P. Glynn to donate a captured cannon to the town of Salisbury, but as there have been hundreds of such bills intro duced, they were all laid over until the next sessoin. These bills call for the distribution of 2,O0O cannon and the committee does not yet know how many will be available.
 There is still time, we believe for North Canaan to get in its bid' for one of these trophies. If 2,OOO are asked for perhaps there will be 2,OO1 for distribution.

PREPARATION FOR SOY BEANS
Soil Free From CIods Insures Best Re- suIts-Work Is Quite Similar to
 That for Corn.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 The preparation of the soil for the soy bean is similar to that for corn, and/it, like corn, readily responds to any extra preparation. The land should be plowed early and deep, fitted, and then narrowed at intervals until the beans are planted; otherwise, weeds are likely to choke out the young plcnts. Disking will give the proper preparation after a crop of early po- tatoes or peas or for stubble land after wheat or winter oats, provided the soil is moist and mellow. A firm seedbed with a light, loose covering of fine soil, we'll smoothed by the harrow, is con ducive to uniform depth in planting and to a good stand of plants. A soil free from clods insures the best re- suits, especially in seeding broadcast.

THE MORRISON CODE

The so-called Morrison bill which has been introduced in the legisla- s4re for the purpose of reconstruct EHg our public school system through aut the state, has attracted wide at +ention. Both the bill and MT. Nor nason have been the objects of no Mtt1c abuse iron, teachers, newspa- Pers and ctnerS, some of whom. per aaps were guilty of snap judgment and took the opportunity to vent Hheir grievances against the state soard of education.
 From literature which has been rcceived at this office, Scne repre- Denting the teachers and a copy of She Morrison code, we believe the teachers feared one man control, smd with just reason perhaps, of the ed1tire school system of the state. If ss1ch is the intent of the code, noU aally the teachers but everyone who #zs the best interests of our schools xt heart should oppose any such proposition.
 On the other hand, there is little merit in seeking to destroy or black sn the character of any man even though you do not agree with his zdeas or principles. When ulen and vgomen, who are supposed to be edu- ezted, resort to these methods it is xsil1 more despicable.
 Dr. Henry c. Morrison, who has credit for this bill, was connected fa thirteen years with the public grMooJs of New Ham pshire and ac- eerding to the superintendent of schools of that state, hc served with Aonor and distinction. His present noethod of revising the public schooi system may be radically wrong ir same respects, but we trust hat this will not deter him sr any other Euember of the state board of educa- tion in seeking to better the school system of this state, which when compared to that in force elsewhere aseems to need revising.

100000 club members. Many farm boys under the age of eighteen are being instructed by club agents and county agents in doing mans work on the farm. The emergency enroll ment is an effort to get hold of all boys who are taking on the added bur- dens of the war time and to give them credit for their extraordinary efforts.
 The average yield of corn raised by the members of the boys clubs throughout the 15 southern states was 47.97 bushels per acre. There were no boys who made more than 100 bushels per acre, and some good records were made by boys in other farm crops.
 Results of Pig Clubs.
 Pig clubs conducted in cooperation with the bureau of animal industry of the United States department of ag- riculture are popular. Thousands of purebred pigs have been distributed among the boys with excellent results. Purebred hogs are becoming we'll dis tributed throughout every part of the South.
 Short, practical courses in agricul- ture for club boys are held in each county, where all the club members attend and receive instruction. In ad- dition to the short courses held in the counties one is also held at the agri- cultural college where the prize win ners are brought for a week or two weeks instruction. The boys clubs are stimulating farm boys to enter the agricultural colleges to continue their agricultural training. In one state in 1917, 218 club boys entered the agri- cultural college.

Two Winters
By Dora W. Heinz


 A great contrast is shown in comparing the winter of 1918 and 1919.
 The winter of 1918 was one Of the colde=t winters We nave had while this winter or that of 1919 is one of the mildest.
 The Great War was at its height in 1918 and, now in 1919 we have peace, or tending towards peace.
 There were many restrictions on food in the winter of 1918 including a two pound allowance of sugar per capita. This winter we may buy all the sugar we want; also flour.
 Prices have been reduced some what since the winter of 1918
 The death rate in the winter of 1918 was lower than that of 1919 be- cause of the Spanish influenza which has ragged in nearly all cantonments of the country; extending to the cities and towns.
 In reference to the weather, scien- tists think that when one season goes to extremes, the others make up for it; watch out for the cold wave which is thought to be on its way; the pleasant weather we have had cannot be swept away.

SUCCESSFUL BANQUET
 TO FATHERS AND SONS
(Continued from first page)


 After the supper, tables were pushed aside and chairs were turned toward the speakers table. N. Wat son Hardenbergh acted as toast master in the absence of J. Henry Roraback, who was unable to be present. Following is the program which was carried out:
 Star Spangled Banner "Our Dads" Maitland Adam "Our Sons" Charles Laffargue "What a Boy Needs Most" ~
 William Finney "What Father Expects of his Son"
 H. H. Scutt "The Makings' of a Gas Mask"
 John Fuller "If I were Boy Again"
 Wm. F. Tyler,
 Secy. County Y. M. c. A. Solo: Lester Place
 Solo: John Bianchi
 Violin Selections: Alonzo Smith. Piano: Miss May Kegler. America
 Maitland Adam was the first speaker of the evening and spoke in a boyish manner, which was both humorous and interesting, on his idea of model ''Dad". Charles Laffargue related several incidents of his own boyhood and gave the younger boys timely advice in a most pleasing manner.
 William Finney, speaking on "What Boy Needs Most" gave in concise manner his impressions together with facts and figures which was worthy of mature "boy". He was followed by H. H. Scutt who gave the boys an interesting talk on What father expects of his son.. John R. Fuller related in a man. ner which proved decidedly interest ing to both the old and young boys, his experience in making gas masks. Mir. Fuller had one of the latest style masks for exhibition; also the chemicals, charcoal, etc., of which they are made. He explained at some length why the government wanted peach and other fruit pits for the making of these masks and how they were used.
 E The last speaker of the evening. Wm. F. Tyler, secretary of the County Y. M. c. A, spoke in his usual interesting manner on "If ] were a boy again.. Mr. Tyler laid particular emphasis on the fact that a boy in order to grow right must live right and keep clean, both in mind and body.
 The delightful evenings enter tainment came to a close with the singing of "America" and many expressions were heard from the men to the effect that such com munity gatherings of fathers and sons should be held more frequently
