detail at the Baptist church on
last Wednesday afternoon when
Mr.. and Mrs. D. w. Reeder
gave in marriage their daughter,
Velma, to Mr.. Archie Mcdonnell.
Rev. W. A. Sullivan said the
ceremony.
The rainbow color motif was
prettily carried out both in dec
orations and costumes. The
church was beautifully arranged
with southern smilax, ivy and
cut flowers, while tulle streamers
ending with fluffy bows formed
"a rainbow colored canopy over
the bridal party. Directly over
the bride was an immense
shower bouquet of orange bios
SONS and lilies of the valley.
Miss Lucille Neubert presided at
the piano, and Miss Marion
Donaldson Lyles, lovely young
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. T. J.
Lyles, played, with exquisite
effect, two violin numbers,
''Traumerie" and the Intermezzo
from "CaveralIeria Rusticana".
After Mrs. Fred Mcdonnell sang
IAN For You" and with YOU,
the bridal party entered, Miss
Neubert skillfully playing Lob
engrin's wedding march. First
came the usherS, Messrs. L. S.
Brewster, Fred Henson, Frank
Elliott and Coleman Berry. The

THE BELINGTON SCHOOLS

Our high schools opened Sept. 18th
our graded school Sept. 18th.
The enrolment to-date is, in the
graded school two hundred forty six,
in the high schools two hundred four
teen Working conditions are fairly
good except in the Junior High
School; there classes range in num-
Der from thirty-nine to fifty. Our
teachers are working hard but under
great difficulties. Our school rooms
are too small to comfortably seat
more than thirty pupils. No teacher
can teach any subject as efficient to
forty OF fifty pupils as to class
Of twenty-five. 1t is impossible to
teach penmanship efficiently, because
two can not write on seat intended
for one. There is just one right sol
ution to our housing problem and
that is to build a modern Senior
high building. We have sufficient
room for the Junior High Pupils and
for a time we might continue a first
grade in this building if new build
ing were provided for the Senior
High. Uunder the present crowed
conditions it will not be possible to
do the type of school work that your
superintendent, teachers, and board OF
education would like to have done.
Concentrated action is necessary. This
is problem our Business Mems Club
might well grapple with-an entire
evening might well be given to it and
a special effort made to get the fell
lows out. Surely no more important
problem could claim the attentions of
our citizens.
1t is true that new school build
ing will cost money but it is a good
investment. Good schools is one of
the best advertisements town can
have. Good school will attract INTEL
igent parents as almost nothing else
will Good schools create demand
for property and thus enhance the
value of real estate.
Recently | heard thoughtful bus
mess man attribute the growth of the
town in which he lived largely to the
faith that adequate provision had
been made for good schools.
On Friday Oct 9Th the Mozart Lit
erary Society will give it's first pub
lie program in the High School Aud
itorium beginning at eight o'clock
All are invited to come

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

Assurance Of his approval for the
observance throughout the State of
the week of October 2-9 as Fire Pre-
vention Week was given today by
Governor E. F. Morgan to State Fire
Marshal c. L. Topping. The Gov
eminent expressed the hope that the
week would be utilized by a civic bod
les and the school for educational,
purposes in an effort to reduce the ap
palling fire waste.
Fire Prevention week will be gen.
orally observed throughout the ma
ton and President Harding has de-
signated October as Fire Prevention
Day, reciting that the fire losses of
the United States are SO abnormal in
comparison with other countries that
the nation should be aroused to the
gravity of the situation.

One On the Mayor.

During an examination in an Eng
lish school the Inspector began to
question the pupils on punctuation,
when the mayor, a pompous individ-
ual, interrupted with the remark,
at is foolish to bother about COM
mas and suchlike.". The professor
flushed angrily and turning to one of
the boys he babe him write on the
the blackboard, "The mayor of Chees-
ington says the inspector is a fool"
"Now," he continued, "put a COM
ma after Cheesington and another
after inspector" The boy did so. The
mayor got his lesson and he kept
quiet after that.-Boston Transcript.

EDUCATION MAKES A
CHANGE IN ESKIMOS

Chicapo.-Alaska's Eskimos have
changed greatly in the Last rs years
since the white man interested IN
their welfare came among them,
according to Bishop T. Rowe, Epis-
copal bishop of Alaska, who has
been an eyewitness of their deve-
opment.
"When first I visited Eskimos
Of Alaska they ate their meat raw
and seemed to have little object IN
life beyond eating" Bishop Rowe
said here.
"Today they are cooking their
food, they are beginning to use
stoves, their igloos are much larg-
er and cleaner, the children that
have grown up in the meantime
are bigger and brighter and their
interests are much larger"
The Eskimos did what they could
to help America in the war by
sending down feathers for pillows
Bishop Rowe reported. They killed
ducks, geese and swans he said,
and collected a considerable amount
Of feathers. A number Of young
men came to me to say that if the
United States needed them they
were readyto 60"
Educational work among the Es-
kimos is conducted by the u. S. Bu-
reau of Education and the Epis-
copal church. One young Eskimo is
now teaching. Another developed
such skill in wood carving, Bishop
Rowe reported, that he was offered
a fine position in New York by a
firm that saw specimens of his
work.
The Eskimos are developing a
sturdy character, he added. When
warned against having anything to
do with the bootlegger, he said,
they steadily leave him alone.

COPPER MINES ARE
ONCE MORE ACTIVE

New York.-The copper industry
is preparing for a revival of business.
Calumet & Hecla Mining company
win begin mining copper r again
within sixty days. Nearly all the
leading producers Of vein copper are
expected to be operating their mines
by late April.
The copper market is quiet now.
But the industry is steadily getting
into better position.
Tonnage of copper exports is run.
ming about 40 per cent bigger than
the 1920 average.
Germany, during 1921, took more
than a third Of our total copper ex.
ports. For the last 10 months she has
been buying American copper at the
rate of 2S5, o0o,o 900 pounds a year,
compared with 78,457,So5 pounds in
1920 and 1,47s,2o0 pounds in 1919.
Copper producers r gradually
working off their surplus refined
stocks. These were 660,00o,0 900
pounds at the beginning Of 1921.
Stocks now stand at about 4S5,0o0,-

BACK FROM RUSSIA
TO TELL OF HORRORS
Captain of Relief Steamer Reiate'
Terrible Stories Of Conditions
At Odessa.

Baltimore, April S-A tale Of fam
inc, brutality and other horrors was
related by Capt. M. L. Hart Of the
steamer Deepwater, which returned
to this port today from Odessa, Rus
STA. The Deepwater was one OF the
Russian relief steamers which left
here in January.
Toward the end of February the
Deepwater reached Odessa and was
met at the docks by thousands OF
children. Practically unclothed and
showing unmistakable evidences OF
starvation they swarmed about ready
to beg for food as soon as unloading
of the grain was begun, but only to
be driven away by Russian soldiers
Captain Hart said those who resist
ed were bayonetted. 1t took nine days
for IS half starved s~tevedores to un-
load the ship by hand. Two Of their
number we're killed in '%quarrels a.
mong themselves.
Captain Hart refused to allow any
! of his crew to go ashore, but one
night two of the men slipped away:
They spent a night Of horror before
they were able to work their way
back on board, according to stories
they related on their return. They
told of seeing men stood up against
a wall to be shot by a firing squad;
of seeing men, women and children
drop in the streets exhausted from
hunger, and as a climax to their night
of adventure, they saw three train
loads of dead being shipped out OF
the once fourishing city to be thrown
into a hole in the outskirts.
Captain Hart said the Russian peo-
pie had had their spirit broken by the
harsh and brutal methods of the Rus
sian soldiery and were offering prac-
tically no resistance. The people be-
lieve the l. W. w. has conquered the
United States and that they are send
ing the grain over to them. The peo-
ple as a whole also believe that Boil
shevism has gripped the whole world
| and that resistance is useless.

Seeing Chicken A. it Really i.
Crazy.
The following analysis of a hens
psychology comes from Greenwood:
'Having lost her reason and de-
serted her brood because she could
not protect her little biddies fr~m
an airplane which she thought was a
| gigantic hawk, an unfortunate hen
in the poultry yards of Mrs. ]. e.
Self Of this city has died.
'The tragedy dates from last
spring when two commercial fliers
used a landing field near the poultry
yards. They flew over the poultry
run every few minutes and each
time they passed, the faithful mother
hen rushed to hover the fluffy little
balls Of down.
"But the plane flew over so often
that the hen was kept constantly in
a state of terror. She clucked and
rufled her feathers and endeavored
to look as belligerent as possible each
time the huge shadow fell on the
yard. Finally, the nervous strain be-
came too great, and the hen, bereft
Of her reason, deserted the chicks.
"She was never the same hen
again; she never regained her sanity
and she was beset with illusions of
gigantic hawks, running about the
yards in a distracted manner, hover
ing imaginary chicks. Finally the hen
died in what looked like delirium."

} WHY NITROGEN is
so IMPORTANT

substance both IN plantS anu dill
mails, is a jelly-like material
called protoplasm. 1t is a mixture
of substances which are so impli-
Gated in themselves ano ar IN such
complicated relations among them
selves that no chemist, biologist, or
any other scientist has yet ben able
to identify more than a few OF them
with certainty. The difficulties can
perhaps be better appreciated ny
remembering that the unit of life,
the cell, is in cases so small that it
takes several hundred or thousand
of them together to be visible to
the naked eye; and yet the proto-
nlasun of each cell exhibits the
same completely as shown by the
largest mass.
A few things are known with
certainty about proooplasm, how
ever, and one of these is that in
plants at least, whatever else may
be present or absent, iron, magne-
SUM, calcium, potassium, carbon
hydrogen, oxygen, sulphur, phos-
phorus and nitrogen are always
present and are necessary to nor
NAL growth Of these substances
green plants obtain carbon from
the carbon dioxde in the air. All
| other food materials are obtained
from the soil, except that, as men
toned in former articles, certain
lowly plants can use atmospheric
nitrogen.
Aside from water, a goodly pro-
portion of the living substance is
composed of protein. In fact, there
is good evidence that this protein
makes up the framework of proto-
plasm, and that many Of the pecu-
liar properties of the living tissue
are due to it's presence. Now, the
most distinctive feature Of the pro-
tin, as compared with many other
organic substances, is that it con-
tains considerable amounts of nj
trogen and smaller amounts Of
sulphur in addition to those ele-
ments which all organic substances
contain. Nitrogen, then, is an es-
sential element of the makeup of
the living substance itself.
Nitrogen also enters into the
composition Of a number of pro-
ducts of the nature of excretions
or secretions which have a marked
stimulating or poisonous effect on
living tissue. Some Of these sub
stances have an important use in
regulating the development Of
many plants and animals, say the
bacteriologists and soil specialists.
Nitrogen, one Of the essential
elements Of all living tissue, is per-
haps the most abundant Of them
all. However, the greaer part Of it
is locked up IN the air in a form
which is not available for any but
a few kinds Of organisms To be-
come available it must be combined
with some ether element. When so
captured and put into the soil it
tends always to escape in one way
or another and eventually to get
back into the air. The amount in an
available form, therefore, is al
ways limited, and it is thus the
highest priced element which farm
ers have to buy for fertilizer or
feed. The cheapest way to secure
it, both for feed and fertilizer, is
to grow legumes; and the best way
to conserve it is to keep something
growing on the land continually to
keep the soil busy with a crop all
the time.
