The Council OF Wilmington High
School met January 4 and the plan
Of having marshals was discussed.
The plan is to have a marshal ap-
pointed in each class room who
will marshal the Glasses through the
halls at all times. especially going
to and from the lunch rooms and
in times OF emergencies. Teachers
are now placed at stragetic points
In the halls but it is the plan OF the
council to have them relieved and
the marshals to assume full charge.
This Is the first big project the
council has undertaken and the high
school is expecting big things.
Mr.. Roemer read a broad outline
OF the constitution which is nearing
completion.
A basketball league has been or
ganized by three OF the high school
teachers for the girls in the French
man Class a meeting of all girls
interested was held just before the
holidays. At this time six captains
were elected. each Of whom select
ed five other girls 10 make up her
team. The first practice will be
held today. at which time all inter
ested will be given an opportunity
to play. whether a member OF any
team or not.
Practice will be held every Friday,
with the teachers in charge so that
the play will always be supervised.
We are hoping In this way not only
to arouse greater class and school
spirit among the Freshmen girls,
but also TO give them a knowledge
of basketball and training phys
ically which the class as a whole
could not otherwise get.
There will be a Special Library
Dance held in the Boys Gym today
from 20 $50 p. m. The music will
be furnished by the Novelty Or

COMMUNITY SPIRIT IN
BARRY COUNTY

1t isn't always that "wildcat" oil
company is a bona fide development
proposition. And it isn't always that
such companies, if they do get oil
wells, distribute the profits to the
people that by rights are deserving Of
them.
Because of all this, the Barry
County Oil and Gas Company, which
is putting down test well southeast
of Monett, deserves special mention.
Originated by business men and farm
ers in and around jenkins, it has en-
listed the support Of the business men
of Monet and the farmers of sur
rounding country, the while it has
steadfastly avoided professional pro-
moters and fly-by-night business ad-
venturers. Since last July, when the
company came into existence, the
management has not cost the stock
holders one cent. Only the manual
labor has required cash. Even the
drilers themselves have been taking
very large per centage of their
wages in stock in the company.
1t is one oil test that is purely a
community enterprise. The 600 or so
men who have invested money in it
are as much builders of the communi
ty as are the men who set out grape
vineyards and plant apple trees. The
well has been sunk TO depth Of 1900
feet, and the prospects are excellent
for oil it is declared, but even if no
oil is found the men who have made
the test possible are deserving Of
much credit for the effort. 1t is the
ideal way to build any community

BURGLARS ENTER V. A.
WILLEY'S HOME

When Mr.. and Mrs. V. A. Wiley
returned home Sunday night from
church, they found that burglars had
been there. All the dresser drawers
had been ransacked, the beds dishev-
ed and even the rugs pulled up.
Nothing has been missed except Mr..
Willey's overcoat and Mrs. Willey's
pocketbook, containing about $500.
The burglars entered the house
through the basement, Mr.. Wiley
having forgotten to lock the basement
door. Foot prints in the soft earth
around the house showed that the rob-
berry was committed by man and
woman. When they left the house
they left all the lights burning on the
north side of the house.

SAN JOSE SCALE
HURTS ORCHARDS
State Nursery Inspector Reports APP
pearance of Pest in Missouri
Territory,

San Jose scale is making its ap-
pearance in an alarming quantity in
the orchards of Missouri this year,
according to word received from
Casey Sullivan, state nursery in
spector.
Orchardists are urged to unusual
precautions in spraying this year in
order to get rid Of the scale. A lime
and sulphur mixture In strong pro-
portions can be used until the buds
begin to swell, when a diluted appli-
cation can be made.
The San Jose scale is a terror to
horticulturists, as it is unlike common
diseases of fruit trees. The scale is
first caused by small insect which
bores into the bark of the trees, suck
ing the sap as it rises, and preventing
the buds and leaves from receiving
nourishment. The insects are poison
Gus, and the boring causes the bark to
scale off, leaving the bare trunk of
the tree exposed. Sap will not rise
above the abrasions, and the tree is
soon killed.

WINTER EGGS FROM
FARM FLOCKS
By Mrs. D. L. McCubbin.


1t is never a problem to get eggs
from the farm flock during the spring
and summer months. With plenty of
insects, tender grass and with the
range of the entire farm, conditions
are most favorable for biddy to do
her best, and her cheerful cackle may
be heard around every farm home
stead. But often the egg production
of the farm flock is not so satisfac-
tory during the winter months. If the
lesson Of experience is applied and
the conditions of spring are dupli-
Gated as nearly as possible biddy will
keep on the job through the coldest
winter weather. 1t is difficult to say
whether one thing is relatively more
important than another
To begn with good stock is necessary
Purebreads are the best layers and are
most profitable and satisfactory to
keep. Generally the hen lays more
eggs during her first year and pullets
make the most profit. The housing
of the hens is important. The laying
house should be warm and dry, with
plenty of sunshine and ventilation
without draft, as the hen is very
susceptible to colds. The lesson of
the spring should be remembered es-
pecially in feeding for winter eggs.
Variety of feeds is important. Some
animal feed should be substituted for
the insects that the hen finds during
the spring and summer. Milk is good
1t is desirable to have some green
feed. We find cowpea hay, steamed
until the leaves are soft, very good
for this purpose and it is interesting
to watch the hens clean it up. When
ever possible it is desirable to trap
nest the layers, at least for a limited
period. This is for two reasons. 1t
is the only accurate way to distin-
guish the "boarder" from the good
layer, and it enables the feeder to Sc
lect and mark the eggs from the
best layers for Matching, and thus to
improve the laying qualities of the
flock. Trapnesting our own flock of
thirty-six Rhode Island Reds has
given some interesting results.
Records were kept during the month
of January and February. The aver
age number of eggs laid each day was
19.5. The highest number in one day
was 81. The total number of eggs
laid during the period was 1151. The
record of individual hens for the
period varied from none to 44. The
flock averaged during January 1875
eggs each and during February 1876
eggs each.
Eggs are highest in price
and the farm flock should be most
profitable during the winter season.
With good care results should be most
satisfactory
