to happen to those companies since the
Mexican Government has placed the ex-

duction. Wall street cannot forget the
prediction of officials of some Of those

WHITEWASH RECIPES.

The government has several reci-
pes. For brick work, fences, etc,
it suggests: Rosendale cement, three
parts, clear fine sand one part, mix
with fresh water thoroughly. This
gives gray or granite color. II a
very white color is desired lime may
be used with the cement and sand.
This makes nearly waterproof

general uses is: Lime, clean six
quarts; Spanish whitening or powder
ed burnt alum, 4 o.; white sugar. one
pound; rice flour, 3 pints glue of
good quality, 16 ounces water boiling.
5 gallons. Shake lime in vessel OF
ten gallon capacity with hot water,
keeping vessel covered to retain the
steam, and pass through a sieve to
clear of coarse particles. Make up the
rice flour to a thick paste and boil
well and dissolve the glue in water:
then mix the liquids with the remain
der of the water and add the whiten-
ing or alum and the sugar. The mix
ture should be applied warm on out

SWEET SORGHUM CULTURE.

All ports of this plant can be prof
itably used. II is naturally adapted
to the southeast, and its great popu-
larity can not be disputed. The trouble
is and has been for some time that
each general farm has been content
with only small patch, and has not
grown the crop to the extent that its
available uses and its worth as a
money crop permit.
Both from the standpoint as a food
and as a money crop, the sweet sor-
ghum merits more attention. When
properly made, the syrup is a very
wholesome article Of diet, and may
be used in many ways to reduce the
sugar bill in the home. II may be
used in cooking, baking or in making
jelly, and when SO used adds a flavor

CITY SCHOOL NOTES.

Everybody is glad to be in the new

awed at the transformation that took
place while we were gone.
We are proud of the building and
have all resolved not only to keep it
nice and clean as it is now but to
make it even more attractive all the
time.
We wish to thank the High School
for use of their building while ours
was being repaired.
We have moved up the schedule
just fifteen minutes. We now ring
the first bell in the morning at 1926
land begin work at 8:45. We dismiss
for noon at 1855 and begin work
at 12:45. We have been trying hard
to do away with hardness in the
school, and earnestly ask the coop
Grafton of the parents in accomplish
ing this. If it is necessary to keep
the child at home after school has be-
gun, please write note to the teach
er to that effect. We also ask that
children not be allowed to come to
school before 1925. We go by rail-
road time-not by the town clock.
