School Notes

This week having been set aside by
the National Humane association as
"Be Kind to Animals Week." the
eighth grade observed it by spending
some period each day reading and
gathering information on the lives of
animal friends and the service they
render humanity. Prizes of $25, SIS
and $40 are offered respectively for
the first, second, and third best essays
written by Boy Scouts on "Protection
of Animals" and to Camp Fire Girls
for essays on "Protection of Birds"
The contest closes May 20. Prizes
for the best original posters illustrat-
ing humane ideas will also be given
and this contest is open to all. Some
of the pupils are planning to take part
in these contests and as a prelimin-
airy, stories on "How to Take Care
of Pets" were written this week, a
few of which were chosen to be pub
lished.

Care of Rabbits.

Rabbits and hares make very desir-
able friends. Many people confuse
these two animals. There are really
no native rabbits in the United tSates
or North America. The animals which
run wild, such as the jack rabbits and
~cottontails are in reality hares. The
rabbits come from some foreign coun-
tries such as Belgium and England.
The hares do not burrow in the ground
while the rabbits do.
These animals often suffer from
want of proper care. The rabbits and
hares should have straw or sawdust
for bedding. They may be fed on oats,
clover, bran or hay. They also like
grass and carrots very much. Each
rabbit should have a hutch of his own.
These hutches should be at least three
feet long and one and one-half feet
wide. They should be fixed to prevent
drafts. Rabbits should by all means
have a dry pen. One must not handle
rabbits any more than necessary,
When picking them up always pick
them up by the ears and support the
rest of the body with the hand. Never
pick them up by the ears alone

do not know that the n big thing
which the county unit plan does is to
equalize the special school levy in all
third class districts and assure as
nearly as possible equal opportunities
in education for children. If children
in third class village schools receive
nine months of schooling, then the
children in rural schools should have
the same. They do not know that
each sub-district will still elect its
own teacher, purchase its own supplies,
issue its W warrants, ETC., just as it
has heretofore done. Usually when
they understand that the express pur-
pose of the county board is to approve
the budgets of expenses to be incurred
by the various sub-districts and from
them to calculate the uniform SPECIAL
levy required to furnish school facil-
tiles to every child, they see the fair.

An Alligator Throat,

The throat of an alligator is a Won
derful thing, indeed.
1t appears that everything finding
its way into the alligator's mouth goes
down. The animal is a lazy creature,
which, instead of hunting for food,
let's his food hunt for him. He lies
apparently dead with his great mouth
open. Soon a bug crawls into it, then
a fly, then several gnats, and a COL
ony of mosquitoes. The alligator
does not close its mouth just yet. He
is waiting for a few more things to
come his way. He is not to be dis
appointed, for a little later a lizard
will cool itself under the shade of
the great upper jaw. Then a few frogs
will hop up to catch the mosquitoes.
Then more mosquitoes and gnats will
alight upon the frogs.
Suddenly there is general shake-up,
and the big jaw falls; the alligator
slyly blinks n eye, gulps down the
whole menagerie and again opens his
massive front door for more visitors.

school if they taxed themselves ten
times as heavily as the law permits
without a vote of the people.
This second class also fails to see
that railroad and other corporation
wealth belongs, for the purpose Of
taxation for schools, just as much to
one child as to another. They will not
permit themselves to care in how
much ignorance the children of other
families may grow up, of only their
children have good opportunities and
their own taxes r kept low. They
do not realize how the children who
are now growing up in ignorance may
later affect their families or what it
may mean to society to have so large
a number of its youth growing up un-
able to take an intelligent and active
part in civic affairs.
In other words, this second class,
which fortunately is not the largest
class, is selfish of its own interests
and inconsiderate of others. 1t has
no desire to help other peoples chill
dren to grow up intelligent, law-abid-
ing, self-supporting and fair-minded
citizens. 1t is unwilling to look bacl,
upon it's own past and try to appre-
ciate what it's condition might have
been now without the good fortune
of having the self-denial of others to
assist in reaching its present high
standards.

The guinea pig is kept in the house
or shed because it cannot endure cold.
A box one foot square with six inch
holes in the side makes a good nest
for it.
The guinea pig should be fed fresh
grass, lettuce, beet tops, celery, dam
delions and once in a while a piece of
apple. 1t should have plenty of fresh
water and a constant supply of car
rots.

Suggestions for Care of Canaries.

Suggestions for Care of Canaries.
Canaries are often treated cruelty
through ignorance. One mistake often
made is that of having a cage too
small for the needs of the canary. 1t
should be eighteen inches long at
least. The perches should be round
ed and of different size so as to rest
the birds feet. They should be so
placed that they will not interfere
with his exercise.
Canaries should have lots of light
but should not be in windows or hung
in a draft. The perches and cage
should be cleaned with soap and wa
ter every other day.
A canary's food consists chiefly of
mixed seeds, especially prepared.
However, green food is needed, such
as grass, lettuce, peppers etc. Apples,
oranges, carrots and raw potatoes are
relished by this bird. He is also fond
of sugar and a reasonable amount
be given him. Hard boiled eggs, chop
ped fine, may be fed in moulting sea-
son and bread and milk are also de-
sirable.
A piece of cutie fish should always
be kept in the cage and should be
changed every three months. A little
sand or gravel to aid digestion should
be sprinkled on the floor. The water
should be changed every day and it
should be given a chance to battle
three times a week. Gwendolyn

How to Be Good to Your Pets.

All boys and girls will enjoy the
pleasure of we'll kept pets. The two
ways in which one can win the love
and confidence Of an animal is by
kindness and gentleness. The rules to
observe when caring for pets are: (1)
feed at regular times, (2) keep living
quarters clean and dry, (3) give the
pet access to plenty of fresh, clean
water, (4) with the exception of cats
and dogs, handle your pets as little
as possible. (5) One should study the
habits of ones pets and treat them ac-
cordingly.

Goats.

The goat is a useful animal. Be-
cause it's ancestors were found in the
mountains it is a successful climber.
It has been taught to live on any
thing.
There are many different breeds of
milk goats. The Angoras and the
Cashmeres are noted for their fine,
silky wool. The pets stable should
be warm and we'll lighted. They should
be bedded and cleaned often. They
should have plenty of fresh air and
exercise.
Their food should be clover, alfal-
ia, corn fodder and cowpeas with oats,
ri and bran. As goats like salt they
should be we'll supplied with it and
should have plenty of water.
The goat should never be teased.
The Angoras should be washed twice
a month in the summer.-Sophronia

Dogs.

them. Kindly treated and rightly
trained dogs have proved themselves
mans most faithful friends. Each
breed has it's own p%eculiarities but in
general should be cared for as fol-
lows:
l.. The bed should be kept clean and
free from fleas.
2. Straw or a pieces of clean car
pet should be used as a bed.
8. If a kennel is used it should be
we'll ventilated and kept clean.
a.. The walls should be whitewashed
or painted with %creolin.
5. The dog must have access to
plenty of fresh, clean water.
6. Most dogs are over fed. Two
meals a day are sufficient. The diet
should be varied and cooked meat in
small quantities may be fed. The
feed should consist of one-fourth or
less meat to three-fourths of vegeta-
bles. A dog should have bones to
gnaw but never the bones of chickens
or game animals. The drinking dish
should be washed out once a day. The
dog should never be allowed to eat at
the table.
Z. AS the dog has a very sensitive
skin he should be bathed only when
necessary.
Cats. ..
Cats are very useful in Kidding the
house of rats and mice. In Dick Whit
ington's time cats were worth their
weight in gold. Cats should be fed
regularly as well as the dog. Small
quantities Of cooked meat should be
fed. The former may be dried and
used in winter. A dish of clean water
should be handy. Milk should be fed
three times a day, and this dish then
washed thoroughly. The cat should
have some special place to sleep. The
bed should be clean and free of fleas.
When a cat is young it should be
taught to leave birds alone. Every
time it notices a bird it should be pun
ished. The cat should be kept in the
house during the night for in the early
morning the cats do the most harm
to birds.-Fern Blanchard.

"Why! How would you like to be

would" explained Eugene.

A citizen living out near Morriston
was in town the other day and spoke
to the Star about one of the bad hills
on the Blitchton road, the surface of
which had been turned to mud by the
recent rain. He said the road gang
for that district had thrown some
sand on it. They have been throwing
sand on that hill ever since automo-
biles came into use, and the road is
worse now than it was then. There
has been enough work thrown away
on that road to have made a good
road of it clear to the county line, and
there is no indication that the county
commissioners intend to ever have any
scientific, permanent work done on it.
There is at present no really good
road on which people can get into or
out of Ocaia. The roads out in the
country are in the same condition.
Soon people will stop coming to Mar
ion county to settle but not much soon
