The total value u ffu:t Ind fruit

is largely attributed by the United

the killing frosts early In 1921. al

entered into the equation. Contrary

School Lunch Rooms
Paying Proposition

Dallas, Tex, Feb. 14.-Annual re
ceipts from lunch rt oms maintained
at more than thirty public schools in
Dallas total from $250,O00 to $500
900, according to Superintendent j
F. kimball. Beginning with the
lunch room service initiated by the
mothers club through community ef-
fort and later taken over by the
board of education, local schools are
now serving lunches daily to about
seventy per cent of the pupils in at
tendance at an average cost of from
Is to 10 cents. Mr.. Kmhall'S estimate
shows.
In addition to lunch rooms opcrat.
cd in 81 public schools there are two
rooms maintained by the Mothers
Club.
In three high schools, each of
which has from 1900 TO 1900 pu.
pills, the lunch rooms are in charge
of chef, who has his staff of cooks
and helpers. These establishments
have no connection with the domes-
tic science departments, Mr.. Kimball
explained. They are handled entire.
ly by the chef, and the volume OF
business is heavy, feeding an average
of 1,5OO pupils day at each high
school. The boys and girls are serv-
ed at different counters, and after the
lunches are eaten, they return the
used dishes to the scrapping tables
All high school pupils are required
to eat their lunches in this room, re.
gardleso of whether they buy fooC
there. Many pupils in all schools
bring part OF their lunch from home
supplementing it with food from the
lunch room.
In the larger elementary schools
the domestic science teacher has su.
pervision over the lunch room.

Penniless and Lonely For
Their Mother in Georgia
Tots Start Hike From N. C.

Greenville, Feb. 13.-With their
prison breakfasts untouched on the
tin trays before them, two little tots
wept bitterly in their cell at the city
Jail this morning while they told a
of ths N1aRy 4 w W
at the hands Of their fathers relatives
near Asheville, N. c., and described
their journey on foot to this place in
an effort to reach the home Of their
mother near Elberton, Ga.
Sam Mize, IL years Of age, and his
brother, William, IL, as they state
their names, tell that their father and
mother had domestic difficulties in
Georgia some months ago and that
the father left his wife, taking the
two little boys with him to Asheville,
where he intrusted them to the care
of his relatives. Later the father left
there and the little fellows say that
they had to undergo so many hard
ships in North Carolina that they de-
termined to try to get back to Geor-
gia. Without a penny between them,
they set out on the trip yesterday
morning. Attired in clothing several
times too large for them, and with
their feet shod in the toughest sort of
brogans, the two youngsters found
the going difficult most of the way.
Footsore and weary, and afraid to ap-
rroach those going by in buggies and
automobiles, the youngsters finally be-
came desperate and accosted one mo-
torist who passed and begged him to
give them a life as far as Greenville.
He consented and brought the boys on
in, but when he reached the city
turned the boys over to police officials
1t was said this morning that the
police department will communicate
with the mother Of the boys, and if
possible have her to send funds with
which to take them on to Georgia
In the event that the mother cannot
supply the money needed, the task
will probably be up to some charitable
organization of Greenville, or the lit
tie fellows will have to remain be-
hind the bars here.
The two boys are unusually intel
ligent and their case is regarded as
pathetic by the police officials, espec-
tally in view Of the fact that neither
Of them has ever before been behind

Will Drill Into
Great Active Volcano

Honolulu, T. a., Jan. 17.--(By
MaiD.--Extensivs drillings into the
great active volcano of Kilauea, on
the island of Hawaii, will be under
taken during 1922 in an endeavor to
determine the heat Of the volcano, the.
quantity of steam underneath, the
mineral constituents and the solu-
tion of other related questions, Prof.
I. A. Jaeger, Jr., government vol
canologist at Hawaii, announced here
today.
A fund of $4,000 has been raised to
defray the expense of the expert
ments, $4,000 having been contribut-
ed by John Brooks Henderson,
scientist of Washington, D. c., and
the remainder having been given by
Hilo and Honolulu business men.
"The places of most interest are
where the ground is hot from re-
cent or ancient volcano activity"
Professor Jaeger said in explaining
the proposed drillings. "Borings will
be undertaken at the sulphur banks,
at several places in the bottom of
kilauea crater, and in the region of
the recent lava flows at Kau desert.
1t is aimed OF penetrate the surface
where the lava flows are of known
date so as to learn what changes of
temperature underground have taken
place with the passage of time. This
is the most important scientific and
practical problem involved in the
borings-how hot is the volcano and
what are the steam and water con-
ditions under an active volcano?
"The practical side of the know
ledge of underground temperature
which the borings will give, depends
on what is learned as to chemical ac-
tivity which maintains the high tenn
perature in such boring after the
ground is opened to air. If high
temperatures are maintained, pos
sibly at red heat for years, it would
be possible to utilize the heat for
power"
Kilauea now is unusually quiet but
"livening up in March, at the equi-
noX, is expected" Prof. Jaeger said.
He said he based this prediction on
statistics of former activities. Ten
years ago the volcano was in the
same condition as now, he said. Then
there was n lava rising iE September
and one in March.
eve had the rise last September
and I believe it likely that it will re-
occur in March," he said.

Story of "stonewall' jackson

Joe Turner, of Hollins, Va, district
governor of Rotary, who visited
Greenville the other evening told the
interesting story of how a memorial
window to 'Stonewalp Jackson in a
colored Presbyterian church in Roa-
noke happened to be there. The
story was related by the late DR..
Moses d. Hoge, of Richmond:
"The day after the first battle of
Manassas, aDd before the history of
that vrto:y had reached Lexington

count of the event, had gathered a

1t was from General Jackson. Rec
ognizing at a glance the we'll known
superscription, the doctor exclaimed
to those around him, Now we shall
know all the facts!
This was the bulletin:

send you my contribution for our
colored Sunday school. Enclosed you
will find my check for that object

the fact that it had been a fatiguing

day ever memorable in his history

loosel eaf warehouse, where the to-
bacco was taken by farmers and auc-
toned off, was used extensively.
The first attempt to form a tobacco
pool took place in Cincinnati in 1897,
but was short lived. The famous
Equity Society, with it's attendant
night riding and other evidences of
dissatisfaction, was organized in
1905. The Burley Society was or
ganized along similar lines the next
spring. After several years the
Equity disbanded. The Burley, how
ever, continued to operate. 1t is
said that never more than 80 per
cent of the crop was pledged to it in
any year.
The loose leaf warehouse system
has been in use during the last few
years and there are now several hun
dred such houses in Kentucky alone
with many others in the adjoining
states.
The crux was reached in January
1921, when farmer offered their high
priced 1920 crop for sale. The av-
erage price paid on the opening day
on the whole was far below the cost
of production, and many grwers
faced ruin.

NdICI a, IoiO.
"To the House of Representatives:

March 3, 1875.
'To the House of Representatives:
House bill No. 3341 is herewith
returned without my approval for the
reasons, first, that it appropriates
from the treasury a large sum of
money at a time when the revenue is
insufficient for current wants and this
proposes further drain on the treas
ury. The issue of bonds authorized
by the bill to a very large and indef-
mite amount would seriously embar-
raSs the refunding operations now
progressing, whereby the interest of
the bonded debt of the United States
is being largely reduced.
Second, ! do not believe that any
considerable portion of the ex-sol.
diers who, it is supposed, will be the
benefciaries of this appropriation
are applicants for it, but rather il
would result more in measure for
the relief Of claim agents and mid.
dlemen, who would intervene to col.
lect OF discount the bounties granted
by it. The passage of this bill al
this time is inconsistent with the
measures of economy now demanded
by the necessities Of the country.

any good reason why the general well
