her husband moved on to a farm in

Preliminary enrolment for next
September has just been completed at
the high school and while it has not
all been completely checked up, yet
the indications are that the enroll
ment will run considerably over what
it was last fall. Estimates on the
program for September show increas-
es in the number taking many courses
as a result of many students taking
advantage OF the ruling permitting
them to take five subjects if they get
B plus in four subjects the preceding
semester This allows them to COM
plete their school course in less than
the usual four years. The number of
students doing this has increased very
decidedly with the result that. many
classes are being filled up more than
usual This condition is temporary
one, however, as in another year or so
1t will begin to cut Sown the number

In the High School
Shows An Increase for Next Year

of Students in school due to the early
graduation OF those finishing in less
than the usual four years. This will
also cut down the per capita cost OF
instruction in high school.
Another factor, that is helping to in
crease the enrolment. is the large in
crease in the number of students COM
ing in from the country. This year
there were more than fifty over the
estimate and no doubt next year will
see another increase. In fact. so many
outside students are coming ia that 1t
may be necessary TO turn away a
great many of them because of lack of
room. Students who are planning on
entering the high school for the first
time in September should make ar
rangements to see Mr.. Pickett some
time within the next two weeks so as
to enroll for the fall work and thus
make sure of place when school op-
ems.

DIAMOND WORN BY CARL0TTA
"Msximlllian Stone" With Unhappy
History, Is Now on Exhibition
at New York

A great greenish-white diamond,
known as the "Maximillian stone," is
on exhibition for the first time in this
country at New York. Like all large
gems, this stone has history which
is not happy. 1t was found in Brazil
about 1850 and in It's rough state
weighed nearly so Carats, Ferdinand
Joseph MaXimillian, then archduke of
Austria, travelled extensively in South
America. While he was in Brazil he
bought the diamond, it is said, for
price apprOXimatlng $375,000.
The jewel today is in the same con-
dltion as it was when worn by the EN-
press Marie Charlotte in Maximillian's
short reign in Mexico.
When MaXimillian was executed a
commission was designated to sell the
diamond alOng with other gems that
had been part of the gorgeous court.
The stone was bought by an American.
AS part of his estate the diamond is
again to be sold.

GOT ACQUAINTED WITH ROAD
Writer Took Harriman's Advice and
Studied the Erie Line Before
Writing About It,

Some 10 years ago John f. Cara
her, as n financial writer for the Wall
Street News Bureau, was assigned to
cover the office and affairs Of the late
e. II. Hartman. He once boldly beard
ed Mr.. Hartman upon what financing
was in store for the Erie railroad.
'What do you know about the Erie?,
snapped the great financier.
Everything" assured the youthful
aspirant for information, adding: Why,
Mr.. Hartman. have ridden over it
to Patterson, N. j., and Nyack, n. Y"
what w rOared Mr.. Hartman. you
go at once to President Underwood
Of the Erie, tell him sent you, and get
transportation to cover the entire
system. Then you go out and learn
something about the Erie. Come and
see me when you return and l will
answer your questions"
Mr.. Caraher Erle-ed for a fortnight,
and after again seeing Mr.. Hartman
wrote an Erie article that was wen
worth reading.

CONTROL OF WHEAT DISEASE
Farmers Bulletin 1918 Tells Of Flag
Smut Discovered in Illinois
County in 1919.

Methods for controlling flag smut,
destructive disease Of wheat, are
given In Farmers Bulletin 1913, Flag
Smut Of Wheat and Its Control, is
sued for free distribution by the Uni
ted States Department OF Agriculture.
The disease was discovered in 1919
near Granite City, Madison county,
Ill.,, and ln 1920 was found In III
fields confined to AZ square miles.
Black stripes running lengthwise in
the leaves and leaf sheaths are typical
of flag smut. Diseased plants are
stunted and rarely head. The disease
is spread by spores carried on the
seed, and by spores left in the field
on infected plant material or on the
ground where they may be scattered
in various ways, and infect wheat
seedlings in the fall.

There is nothing 50 good as poisoned
bran for taking the hop out of a
grasshOpper and there is no better
way Of buying and distributing the
bran than through a community or
ganizatlon, specialists Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
find. In the areas where the grass
hOppers come down on the farm crops
like all the plaques Of Egypt there
should be grasshOpper-fghting organ
izations, just as there are fire-fighting
units in every city. Fighting a grass
hopper invasion without the help of
the neighbOrs is like trying to put out
a fire in u powder factory with one
bucket Of water.
In the Pacific states the vast, un-
cultivated areas of mountains, foot
hills, and grasslands afford ideal
breeding grounds for at least eight
common species of grasshopper. I'm
disturbed, the pests can mass their
forces in the spring and be ready for
a descent upon the alfalfa fields and
cultivated crops of the farmer when
weather conditions permit. There
seems to be little hope of destroying
the grasshOppers in these isolated
breeding areas and for that reason
specialists of the bureau of entomology,
United States Department of AgriCul-
ture, maintain that it will be many
years before the grasshOpper menace
disappears from the West. But, while
the eight plaques cannot be exter.

Are Corns a Luxury?

When is a luxury tax? Representa-
tive Aaron S. Kreider tells this story:
A woman went into a restaurant and
ordered plate of ice cream, and when
she came to pay she had a check for
10 cents and , cents was added to It.
She asked: What does that cents
mean?"
well" she was told, 40 cents for
your ice cream and cents luxury
tax"
She paid it, and then she walked
across the street to The drug store and
asked for a corn plaster, and she got
a check for 10 cents, and ] cent added.
She said. what is the 1 cent for?"
"That is the luxury tax"
"Well," she said, this is the first
time l ever knew that cons were a
luxury"
Now that is the way 1t goes. There
are great many things to be con-
sidered in discussing tax propositions.

son. Dodsons Liver Tone is taking
its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it." Dodsons Liver Tone is per.
