ADDRESS While Coz. Lee N. Russell
Presented the Diplomas.

With the delivery of the Baccalaure-

University of Chicago, the awarding
Of prizes and medals, and the confer
ring of degrees and diplomas by Gov.
Lee NJ. Russell, the sixty-ninth COM
mencement in the seventy third year
of the University of Mississippi came
to close Tuesday.
Just before the graduating exercises
Tuesday morning, the class of 1921
represented by Hubert Lipscomb,
president of the class formally pres
ented to the University the beautiful
class memorial lamp post that has
been erected in front of the Lyceum
Building. 1t was accepted on behalf
of the University by A. B. Schauber
of Laurel, Miss, secretary Of the
Board of Trustees.
Glass day exercises were held in the

DR.. Butler in his address to the
graduating class took as his subject
Education, and delivered one of the
broadest, most practical, logical and
learned addresses on education ever
hea / fl the platform at the Uni
ve.a,.r o1~A -.ls.+ppi- Fl, upheld the
cause of broad liberal education from
almost every possible angle and his
address was very impressive to his
audience. His address was a gem.
Following the baccalaureate address
the medals and prizes<were awarded.
Following brief and very fitting
and appropriate address to the mem
bers of the graduating class of 1921,
Gov. Lee NJ. Russell awarded the dip
Tomas to the graduates of the different
departments.
One of the most interesting part of
the graduating exercise was near the
conclusion when Chancellor ]. n. Pow
ers very impressively introduced DIR.
w. A. Evans of Chicago, a native
Mississippian, and announced that the
University Of Mississippi was very
jealous of its highest degree and only
conferred it upon those who had achiev-
ed that which was of great benefit to
humanity, that Dr.. Evans had achiev-
edthat which was worth while and that
the University would confer the l.. L..
D. degree upon Dr. Evans Having
introduced as DR.. GLOW to Keep Well"
Evans the degree of L. L. D. was then
conferred upon him by Gov. Russell.
After a brief review of the lead that
University men have taken in the avo-
cations, Dr. Evans expressed his ap-
precautions for the degree conferred
upon him.

at intervals of one week each.
These demonstrations are proving
Of great interest and practical value
to the students, and have enabled

to learn the trend of tractor design to
meet the conditions found in the

Shorthorn yearling, Hercules Model
The Herefords include several out
standing bulls as well as heifers. Two
animals of the show herd are sired

NATIONAL GRAIN AND
HAY SHOW ATTRACTS
Exhibit at Chicago November 26 to
December 8.

A ten thousand dollar premium list
is offered by the Chicago Board of
Trade for the third annual National
Grain and Hay Show held at Chicago
/ November rs to December g. This is
the most important and far reaching
show of it's kind held in the United
States, affording the exhibitor an ex-
cellent opportunity to show the pro-
ducts of his state
Last year, Idaho exhibitors secured
many Of the high awards in the vari-
Gus classes, especially in the small
seed and small grain competition.
This was possible because of the ex-
cellent quality of the clover, alfalfa,
and timothy seed grown turnout the
state. 1t is impossible for many
states to produce good color in these
seeds because of unfavorable climatic
conditions, but Idaho has an ideal
climate for growing these crops.
Idaho, especially the irrigated sec

rieties Of grain. Dicklow wheat and
Trebi barley are grown on 80 per
cent of the irrigated farms. The Pa
louise area in the northern part of the
state is standardizing Jenkins Club
wheat and White Winter barley.
All entries for the Grain and Hay
Show at Chicago must be made not
later than November II, and the ex-
hibits must reach the show not later
than November 81. All growers who
are contemplating the entry of ex-
hibits should notify Mr.. G. B. Allison,
Extension Agronomist, Boise, Idaho.
Mr. Allison will be in charge Of the

LET'S CLEAN UP
DIPHTHERITIC ROUP
Methods Outlined by Prof. Parkhurst

Diphtheritic Roup is very serious
trouble in the flock. 1t is one of the
hardest diseases to eradicate, as indi-
vidual treatment is usually necessary,
unless the whole flock is sacrificed
Symptoms: This disease may be
distinguished from the contagious
roup by the formation of cheesy
growths on the surface of the mouth,
throat, nostrils, eyes, or air passages.
These growths may remain small and
disappear in few days, or grow
thicker and become firmly attached.
Often these growths fill up the uasa!
passages, throat, and bronchial cubes,
causing the bird to die from sufioca-
ton. When slightly affected, birds
stand with neck extended, their oeaAs
open to facilitate the entrance of air,
and give off characteristic disagree
able odor After three or four days,
swallowing becomes difficult, the
head is swollen, the eyes nearly close
anu just UclOIG QSdlll tilc SOilO OC-
comes cold and dark.
Control: Kill affected birds by
wringing their necks. Burn all car
casses land disinfect poultry houses
and grounds. Use one 7.3 grain mer-
curry bichlcride tablet per gallon
drinking water in non-metal con-
tainer These tablets are not nsed
more than 10 days at a time. Keep all
other drinking water away. Also feed
in wet mash every day as much Of tie
following mixture as the birds will
cat up in ten or fifteen minutes: l
part epson salts, part dry powdered
sulfur, to IL parts dry mash.
Treatment: Individual birds may
sometimes be cured by removing the
false membranes with sharp knife,
applying tincture of iodine to these
parts and applying carbolated vase
line two or three times daily until
wounds are healed.

After the stage-struck applicant had duly
signed the foregoing application promising
to take s75 worth OF lessons, O 'tryout"
was given for ~.
The future Mary Pickford was then nut
through few antics and card was made
out showing how well she had done in reg
istering JOY, anger, fear, etc, etc. So far
as the District Attorney can ascertain, no
applicant with $7s ever failed TO show

And amer Q handsome compliment from the
director of the school" memorandum

that the applicant needed training TO prop

The Washington times., 1921-02-20

TN the course of his recent investigations
the District Attorney has made some
startling discoveries of what goes on In
some OF New York's movie schools" for
teaching motion picture acting He was
surprised to find widespread yearping
among all classes of people TO go into the
movies. One middlea aged Italian woman
from the tenement district of Astoria, Long
Island. came in day after day, and paid for
her lessons, until finally this poor woman
had paid more than $40O to the school"
| Ip another instance. a young girl testifes
she was induced to return to the Office of
pretended movie promoter and was assault
ed at the point Of a pistol. Many other
girls revealed the insidious lures and invi-
tations to private visits to the managers of
the studios" at their bachelor apartments.
In one case an attractive and ambitious
girl was made love to by one Of these men.
she swears, in these words:
Suppose y0a end go up to my apart
ment and have little party He then
asked me which way would like to be
loved. He kissed me, and when he was
going away he put his arm around me and
said. 4 want to have you"
But perhaps the most sinister aspect of
the situation is the discovery that large
numbers of children, little girls from six
years of age up, were brought to the
schools" by ambitious but silly mothers.
Having read of the enormous salaries
which some child actors receive, these
women have brought their little ones and
left them to the tender mercies OF the men,
the District Attorney has been told
In one of the schools" the District Attor-
ney has heard Of a peep hole slit cut in the
wall. Through this hole. Il is said, the
managers OF the school look over the
group OF waiting applicants in the outer Of
fee. And 10 they see young woman of
particularly attractive face and figure, she
is invited inside for special and private
interview. InNsome cases, the authorities
are informed, the young woman is told
that her success depends upon how good
her figure Is and whether II Is adaptable
for playing parts which may require wear
ing tights.
To ascertain this delicate but highly i'm.
Iortant detail the young woman is informed
that 1t is necessary for her to lay aside her
