NEWS OF SCHOOLS
Some of the Current News
at COlville's Accredited
High School

Attorney Arthur w. Davis of Spo-
kane has accepted the request of the
senior class to give the commence
ment address May 26 at the Colville
theater.
"The Colonel's Maid" a three-act
sscomedy by c. L. Dalrymple, author
of the "Time of His Life" and "the
Land of Night" will be presented
at the Colville theater Friday eve
ming, May IL, by the senior class.
The seniors have been laboring over
the correct Interpretation of this
difficult play for some time, and un-
der the able leadership of Miss
Eleanor Wilmer, dramatic director,
are now very nearly approaching
the achme of perfection.
According to all reports the play
is a Grip roarin' comedy with all
the character requisite to success,
including a "heathenish" Chinese
cook, girl in disguise, two coonels
who are tanner than they pretend to
be, a boy without memory, and an
unusual array of love affairs with
plenty of characters to mix things
up and make the outcome interest
ing.
In addition to the play being a
"killer" this is to be the seniors last
appearance in the dramatics of the
Colville high school and they are
determined to make this not only
their last but also their best dra-
matte effort. Already underclassmen
are making inquiries as to tickets
and the seniors feel assured of a
capacity house.
Harry Eslick, senior, has been
chosen to represent the Colville high
school at the oratorical contest to
be held at Harrington, Saturday,
May 6. His subject will be "The
Spirit of the West" All accredited
high schools of the fifth congress
sional district are eligible to this
contest, which is to decide the state
championship. All speeches were
composed by the students and were
submitted to a board of examiners
for grading before they were allow
ed to enter the contest. The compo-
sition and rhetoric of the speech will
count 800 and delivery will count
20%.

For the Sportsmen's Fair in Spo-
kane this week, Game Warden L. S.
HARRISON sent yearling doe by ex-
press. The doe had been chased by
dogs into Leadpoint, and was
rescued by Joseph Brown. She
stood the trip to Colville and to Spo-
kane quite well, and was an interest
ing attraction. Among other exhibits
from this county were 10000 Macki-
nav fry, and frozen specimens Of
rainbow, cutthroat and mackinaw
trout.

Tomatoes For Chickens.

Just as the boy is the father
of the man, so is the pullet the
mother of the hen, and as con-
siderable interest is being TAX
en- in eggs in Saskatchewan
these days no apology is needed
for mentioning the recent expe-
riments of Professor Graham
carried on at the Ontario Agri-
cultural College of Canada.
1t has been found quite by ac-
cident that ricketts, in calves
could be successfully overcome
by mixing canned tomatoes with
milk, and as ricketts, in calves
and leg and wing weakness in
chicks are kindred troubles, Prof.
Graham reasoned that what
would prevent the one would
likely prevent the other. For
the following we are indebted to
the Canadian Poultry Journal:
with the first lot of incubator
chicks that were Matched in January,
Professor Graham made the expert
ment of introducing canned tomatoes
into the dietary.
"The first feed was made of equal
parts of cormeal and wheat shorts,
moistened sufficiently with tomatoes
the kind you buy in tins at the gro
cers-to make it crumbly. The sec
ond feed was also cormeal and wheat
shorts, but moistened with equal
parts of buttermilk and eggs ('egg-
nog' Prof. Graham calls it). These
two mashes were alternated for the
first six or eight weeks, nothing else
except buttermilk to drink being Civ
en-. No scratch grains whatever were
fed. The mashes were given on piec-
es of boards, some rolling into al
falfa litter which covered the floors.
This the chicks later found amuse-
ment and exercise in scratching for.
CAS- usual in all such tests at On
taro Agricultural College, careful
records of the weights were kept,
and it was found that the growth of
this lot was steadily thirty per cent
above the normal curve.
"This increase in growth rate, of
course, most satisfactory, but there
still remained the more important re-
suit that mortality was practically
wiped out and no cases of leg weak
ness or dropping wings developed.
"The experiment with the first
flock was so satisfactory that the
test was kept up with succeeding

"42" Keeping Up Rep.

The Gollmar- Yankee Robin

quail to the task of providing a.
musement for all, so a little inn

Santa Fe Trail restaurant. En-

only a Turk to compare with de-
bacle in Asia, as Mike the Greek,
came near being eliminated
from the affairs of "42" just as
Greece is being eliminated from
Asia Minor. Mike was taken to
the hospital, bleeding from m
many gashes, none of which will
prove fatal. Others of the cast
were more or less cut, but not
as serious as Mike.

Records Are Open.

Chairman Theodore Gary of
the State Highway Commission
has announced a policy that the
people of Missouri will be taken
into the confidence of the State
Highway Commission in its
work of building roads. This is
no idle promise on the part Of
the Chairman of the Commiss-
ion and it is the intention of the
Highway Commission to give
full publicity to all road build
ing projects that may be under
taken by it in the future. Many
projects will have a sign at one
end giving the details of the
project, its cost, the name of
the contractor and the project
engineer. 1t Will describe brief
ly what may be expected of the
life of the road built. In this
way anyone passing may have
full knowledge of just what the
Commission is doing upon that
particular stretch of road. This
method will be carried out on all
road building projects of any
consequence and it is hoped that
the Commission will have the
approval of the entire state in
this method of publicity.

FOOTBALL AT WENTWORTH
Practice in Full Swing With so

The question arises soon after
Wentworth begins new year,

the fundamentals of the game.
Coach Wykoff has sixty candi-
dates Of various attitudes and
circumference, weights and a.
lertness, out trying for a place
on the team.
The new material this year
looks more impressive than for
number Of years. There is
more weight per man and a
few have had some experience.
This material added to the let
ter men of last year, the reserv-
es of last year, and the compa-
ny team men makes it appear
that Wentworth will have to
be reckoned with, no matter in
whose company the team is
found.
Coach Wykoff will have more
assistance than heretofore, Civ
ing him more time for individ-
ual instruction. The first scrim-
mage was held last Saturday af-
ternoon.

TWO DOLLARS MADE
Lime and Phosphate Greatly In
creased Alfalfa Crop.

The use OF limestone and
phosphate for alfalfa has prov
ed very profitable in numerous
demonstrations on De-Kalb
County farms, according to P.
F. Schowengerdt, soils exten-
sion specialist of the Missouri
College Of Agriculture,
During a recent tour conduct
ed in that county several fields
were visited where lime or phos-
phate fertilizer had given good
results but among these some
stand out especially. On the
Bromley farm near Marysville
limestone was applied on what
was considered a poor hill. When
walking through the field the
men present could all tell exact
ly how far the lime had been ap-
piled because where there was
lime the alfalfa stand was good.
while the part of the field that
was unlimed was grown up all
most entirely to grass and
weeds.
Acid phosphate was applied
also on one acre of Mr.. Berry
Capps' large alfalfa field. When
asked If he thought it paid he
replied that the phosphate had
given an increase of about l ton
of alfalfa hay per acre worth $5,
while the phosphate cost less
than 81 per acre.
These practical farm demon
strations continue to prove the
fact that lime and phosphorus
are essential for alfalfa. If the
soil is not naturally supplied
with these materials it will us
ually pay well to supply them.
