Commencement

After one of the most unusual years,
the Senior class of the Lamar Union
High school will close its high school
career Wednesday, May 2lst. Al
though the year was broken up by the
prevalence of Spanish influenza, yet
the class completed its work in a cred
table manner.
At the beginning of the year plan
of better cooperation between stud
ents and teachers was inaugurated.
The results are sufficient to Justify
the continuance of the plan. One of
the most noticeable results of the plan
is the creating of a better school spirit.
With a new addition to the high
school building and gymnasium, a
fine spirit on part of both students
and teachers, a progressive wide awake
board of education, and loyal public,
the future of the Lamar Union High
school indeed is promising.
The following is the program for
Commencement week:
Sunday evening, May 18th, at 500
Observation-Disclosures sermon, Rev.
d. G. MacLennan, pastor First Pres
byterian church.
Monday evening. May l9th-Junior-
Senior banquet, Elks club rooms.
Tuesday afternoon, May Goth, at

er it will be the biggest and best pro-

CRITICAL FOR DAIRYMAN
He frequently Fails to Realize Warm
Weather rs Here. and Suffers Loss
es-lmportanee of Cooling Milk.

1T is safe to assume that thousands
of dollars will be lost this summer in
Colorado as a result Of careless hand
ling Of milk and milk utensils" saws
+. b, barrow, of the Colorado ARri-
cultural College. 'The beginning of
warm weather seems to be the time
of greatest loss, except, possibly that
time during extreme heat in mid-sum-
mer. Condenseries do not send back
milk because they have too much.
None Of them are running to full can
acity. Neither do our cheese factories
welcome the chance to turn down high
acid milk. And it is certain that the
producer can ill afford the loss of part
of his milk income.
Now, as to some common mistakes
dairymen make: They fail to realize
that warm weather has come, and that
cold weather practices will no longer
do. Extra care is needed in all opera
tions. Many dairymen fail to realize
the value of prompt and efficient cool
ing. Remember that the number of
bacteria in the milk may double in an
hour-if you don't cool it. Let us en-
phasize this point-cool the milk i'm
mediately. Purchase a cooler. The
simplest, cheapest type is far ahead
of cooling in the can in tank of wat
er. This latter method takes too long.
and to be effective at all the milk must
be stirred frequently. First use a cool
er-then keep cool by holding in a
tank.

OBSERVE STARS IN DAYTIME
u One 10 suffieisntly Interested They
Can Bs Seen From not-
tom Of well.

Not only have the astronomers do
vised q means whereby they may OBJ
serve the stars In the daytime, but
anyone may. II he choose. see them At
such time II he win 20 to the trouble
to do SO. At the bottom OF deep
well an observer on looking up Will
see the stars II the sky is clear and
the sun does not happen TO be shining
directly into the well.
Why cannot the stars be seen from
the surface OF the ground In the day
time? They certainly give forth their
usual amount OF light. and 1t will be
remembered that the moon IL frequent
ly seen during the day.
The question resolves itself into the
capacity Of the human eye. During
the day the sun shines on particles
suspended in the atmosphere itself,
and Its rays are reflected In every
direction from the different particles.
We thus havs diffused light BY means
of which one can see objects not di.
rectly In the sunlight.
II 1t were not for this diffusion of
light. or Irregular rsfraction. a. IL II
called we could not possibly see any
thing not In the direct sunlight. Now.
these rays irregularly reflected enter
the eye In enormous numbers. so the
intensity IL comparatively great with
starlight
But to q person In q deep well or
mine shaft only the perpendicuiarly
reflected rays enter the eye. and from
only those particles directly over the
mouth Of the shaft. Thus compara
lively little light enters the eye. and
any searhght that comes down at that
time IL essily perceived and the pres
ence Of the star II recognised.

If extra care is taken to have the
milk clean in the beginning it is much
easier to keep it sweet. All dirt is not
visible-neither can you strain all the
dirt out of milk You only get part
Of the visible evidence Of dirt. The
rest has been dissolved in the milk. So
clean the udder well, and use the small
topped pail
Lack of care Of utensils Is one of
the main causes for trouble. Remove
covers from cans on return from the
factory. Any unclean condition will
be found, and remedied. Use steam,
if possible. Ii not, boiling water and
good dairy washing powder. Re-
member that fresh air and sunshine
are essential to sanitation, and the
longer the milk utensils can remain In
the open air the better. Scald them
just before using; if possible"
Rev. J. A. Bastien Transferred
Rev. j. A. Bastien, rector of st.
Francis de Sales church, has been
transferred to Georgetown, and left
for his new field Of work on Tuesday
morning. The change is not due to
any dissatisfaction upon the part OF
the rector or congregation, but is made
in the hope that Father Bastien may
find relief from hay fever and asthma,
from which he has suffered for many
years.
Father Bastien came to Lamar more
than eleven years ago when the parish
was first organized, and he has since
that time devoted all his energies to
the work of his church In Prowers
county. He is a man of deep learning
and pulpit orator of unusual ability.
His broadness and tolerance made for
him many warm friends outside his
own church organization, and ali OF
these regret his departure from La
mar
Rev. NJ. p. Boyle. who has been at
Georgetown for several years, will take
charge Of the Lamar parish and the
county missions this week. He Is said
to be man of energy and ability and
should prove worthy successor to
Father Bastien.
