STATE ROADS HAVE
 ALMOST DISAPPEARED
Pittsfield Truck Stalled All
 Night Near Smith |7a Hill ..-

For the past several days nearly all the roads in this vicinity have been in unusually bad condition due to the frost coming out of the ground and the melting snow. In some places they were almost impossible, which for a state road seems extra ordinary. As one garage man said: When a state road is So bad that it is almost impossible to get Ford car through, it's some bad. =.
 From reports, received from all over the immediate vicinity similar conditions prevailed. On the flat riust below Smith hill every car that yentured in that direction had more or less trouble getting through the mud which was axle deep. A large truck owned by a Roberts of. Pitts field managed to get mired so se- curely that it remained there all Tuesday night. H. A. Weaver, who carries the mail by auto to Lakevllle said it takes about twice the usual time to make the trip that it usually did during the winter. ,-.,.,.,
 Above East Canaan in the No. 5 u1SLTlcC, WHICH IS d1Wdyo Odu uutAhS this period of the year, the mud has been beyond description. On road that is used as much as this, and when the same conditions exist year after year, it would seem that the state would do something to remedy it. It has been said by former select men that ton upon ton of rock has been dumped on this stretch, which seems to sink out of sight when spring thaws and rain set in.
 Automobile traffic is becoming greater each year and when statistic prove that concrete road is far cheap CT than other forms of construction in the end, it would seem that more roads of this construction are a ne- cessity.

Weight Changes Every Hour.

We are lightest when we rise in the morning. Breakfast puts on pound Or so, but we lose some of this by lunch time, when we again add to our weight. After lunch back we go once more, though, as between breakfast and lunch, we retain part of the in- crease. Then comes dinner, which brings us up to our maximum. We have then gained, on the average, seven pounds during the day. Gen. erally, therefore, the greatest variation during the 24 hours Is seven pounds,
 the weight lost between dinner and breakfast. *, 5r .' F5,.'"

Birthday Cake Candles.

The custom of placing candles on a birthday cake-one for each year comes from Germany. The Germans placed thick one In theNcenter, called Lebens-licht, the light of life. Only he or she who declares his or her birth day may put out the light of life; it Is unlucky if done by any other member of the family. The lights are symbols of life and it's portions the years. For persons advanced in years one candle must do duty, as otherwise too many would be required.

SENIOR ENTERTAINMENT s
 VERY SUCCESSFUL
Proceeds to go Towards the Washington Trip
 Fund

The Senior entertainment Friday l evening was very successful. The chairman of the committee, Louise Beaujon, and her assistants, Naomi Carter and Everice Parsons, deserve much credit for the excellent progam.
 The program was as follows: Orchestra
 The Slye Brothers, Miss Brewer Welcome Song. g......... The Class Mosaics . =. ....t.........T The Class Monologue, An Telephone < @ Francis Place Song and Dance, We've Got
 the Mumps, The Misses Car
 ter, Baird, Beaujon, Fuller,

 and the Tramp, Elizabeth
 Holcomb, and Herbert Fenn Readings ........ Everice Parsons Orchestra
 Dialogue, Irish Skit, Herbert l
 Fenn and Marcus Brewster
 Song and Dance, I Can't Do

 Baird, Beaujon, Fuller,

 Miss Howard, an old maidl
 '... Edna Barrett Prudence, her maid Everice Parsons Basil Raymond, the Little
 Rogue Next Door. . Francis Place Marjorie Graham, Miss How
 ards niece Ida Hurlburt Jufkins, the butchers boy sa
 Thomas o'Neil
 The Mosaics proved an effective number because of the dramatic and often amusing contrast it contained. The French monologue which follow ed was given in a very realistic man ner. One did not need to know the language to understand it. ... The two songs, "We've Got the Mumps'', and, 'I can't, do that Sum- were very well done and showed ex- cellent training, as did the graceful dances which accompanied the songs.
 Everybody enjoyed the animated conversation between the deaf old lady and the tramp, while the two Irish wits caused much laughter. The local hits were especially appreciated.
 The two humorous readings by Everice Parsons were very we'll giv- en.
 The farce concluded the program, all the parts were we'll played. Thomas O'Neil proved himself a real comedian in the role of the butchers boy, while Everice Parsons was excel lent as Prudence. Her performance was especially creditable since she had but one days preparation for it. Edna. Barrett was typical maiden aunt, who tried to hide kind heart under a brusque exterior. Ida Hurlburt, as her niece, was very charming. The part of the Little Rogue Next Door" was played by Francis Place in an excellent man ner. &.
 The several orchestral selections added much to the program.
 The Senior Class wishes to thank all those outside of the school who gave so generously of their time and talent to make the entertainment to be success. k

Ostrich Eaqs as Food.

Mir. Gallican, diet expert, who has been experimenting with ostrich eggs supplied by the New York geological gardens, declares that the food value of the ostrich egg Is about the same as that of the domestic hens egg. The flavor is identical and, although the ostrich eggs. contain less protein than meat, they have more fat and a fair amount of phosphorus and iron. One egg will make an omelet sufficient for 30 persons.-The Argonaut.

 Eversreens Trim Red Leaves
 The great game has come and gone! Close scrutiny of the clutter ed score book reveals the fact that the Evergreens won the town cham pionship by 2 score of 50-42. This happened in Town Hall last Saturday night and mighty was the struggle.
 Some fans claimed after the game that the Evergreens won. on fouls, but wish to state right here that there were 20 called on. the Ever greens as against 1S on, the Red Leaves, of which each team made i2. This settles that dispute al. scF 3' The game was light to within a few moments at the end of the first half, which saw the Evergreens leading 25-1S. In the second half the Leaves made a spurt and fell so thiclly about the confused Evergreens that the Leaves went ahead 34-30. Bas- kets by Bees and a long shot by Keenan sent the Evergreens ahead, where they maintained the lead. From then until the end of the game the Leaves put up game battle but were forced to bow.
 Baldwin led in field baskets with nine. O'Neil led the point scoring with twenty-four points. Baldwin was next with IS, and Goggin had 14. Blass was next with fourteen and Beaujon with 12. Bees made points while Smith and Keenan each netted two.

Quail VS.. Boil Weeyil

The much mooted question in
N North Arkansas just now is whether
or not the quail is a destroyer OF

Regarding the subject, we have just

the following paragraph;
"Examlnatios Of the stomschs of
over 200 quail collected in or about
cotton fields have revealed the re-
mans Of cotton boil weevlls IN but
two stomachs, and IN each instance

DISCUSSES PAID Up
INSURANCE FOR Vets
WITH LOAN PRIVILEGE
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 30-Paid-up
life insurance for World war veterans
as a substitute for the adjusted serv-
ice certificate, with bank loan privi-
lege proposed in the house soldiers
bonus bill, was discussed today with
President Harding by Senator Shoots,
of Utah, ranking Republican. AS out
lined by Mr.. Shoots, his plan would
contemplate a policy, face value based
on length of service with the forces,
and said that in the case of a veteran
entitled to $500 in adjusted compensa-
ton the face value of the policy would
be approximately $1,000. He added
that holders of the policy might Dor
row on them from banks, but that the
government would not guarantee the
loans as it would in the house meas
ure.
II will never support the pawnbrok-
ers' certificate plan in the house bill,
the senator declared.
