FULL OF PEP

We are small high school. but we
are always up and doing. We do not
have the variety that the larger
schools have, but from this lack we
derive some advantage. We are full
of pep" and are ever ready to do our
very best in such activities as a small
high school can undertake An .ex-
ample of this limiting ourselves to a
few activities is seen in our declama-
ton contest A letter from a Uni
versity professor says: "Your l0C per
cent participation in your local con-
test, got results" and he congratulates
Miss Summerfield and our school upon
our success in gaining first place in
the State contest.
We have not been able to engage
in inter high school athletics, but no
one could say that we do not enjoy
our tennis contests among ourselves.

A DELIGHTFUL SUPPER

The Spanish Club of the M. c. Fl. S.
held its last meeting OF the year on
May l9. This meeting is always the
big meeting of the year for the club,
and it was thought that the importance
and pleasure of the occasion would be
doubled by having the supper in honor
of our declaimers, Esther Summer
field and Albert Flick.
The table was beautifully decorated,
the color scheme being royal purple
and white. At each end of the table
was bowl OF baby pansies. Pansies
and fern were daintily scattered over
the table The supper consisted of
meat pie, olives, several varieties OF
pickles, delicious punch and salad
lust before desert several toasts were
given to the team, both collectively
and separately. For desert large
juicy strawberries and cake were
served.
All members OF the High School
were invited.

ANNUAL EVENTS
up


At the end OF the school year 1926
1921, the Mineral County High School
gave field meet, in which the gram
mar schools OF Mineral county com
peted. Pupils entered from Nina
Luning and Hawthorne; and altogether
it was very interesting event. This
year the high school gave icclama-
ton contest. Students OF Lunlns
and Hawthorne competed. Everyone
enjoyed the contest very mach and
altogether it was very successful.
Inquiry has been made as TO whether
these are established events in 'h- high
school. 1t is intended to hold these
contests yearly hinder the auspices OF
the Mineral County High school. Our
idea at present is to hold both the dec
lamation contest and the field meet al
be held in the afternoon and the
defamation contest in the evening oi
the same time. The field meet is to
the same day. Any student of the
grammar schools of Mineral County
is eligible; and we hope that every
one will look forward to this event.

students were asked to draw a plan
OF the II. S. yard and to put in such
plan, such grass and flowers as could
easily be planted and cared for, and

THE EXCLAMATION CONTEST

The Grammar School Defamation
Contest, held in the Mineral County
High School, Saturday evening, May
9th, was entered into with much spirit
by the school children of Hawthorne
and Luning. Twelve OF the pupils OF
Mrs. Moore's class took part. Two
representatives were sent from the Lu-
ming public school.
Many of the pupils had never spoken
before an audience but they did we'll,
and their teachers, Mrs. Moore and
Mrs. Henry and the others who as
sisted in the training are TO be con-
graduated for their success in training
the children. =.
The judges were Messrs Buckingham
Kelso, Box and Mesdames Davis and
Hager. Clara Tomlin, seventh
grade pupil from Luning, with the Sc
lection, $50 was |, carried home the
first prize, fountain pen. Frances
Millar, of Hawthorne, was awarded
second prize, an Eversharp pencil.
1t had been decided that three prizes
would be given but owing to a tie
between Harvey 'Dondero and Erwin
Sucetti, fourth prize was given and
each boy received an Eversharp pencil.

GOOD ROADS AID PROSPERITY
Sum Of $500, 600, 900 Lost Last Year by
Farmers Unable to Get to Market
Over Highways.

Good roads are the greatest single
factors in securing and maintaining
community prosperity" Last year
the sum Of $3OO,OO0,0OO was lost by
farmers in being unable to market
their products over bad roads. Roads
that are impossible during part Of
the year cost farmers in every COM
munity thousands Of dollars week.
When one stops to think that In
every township laid out In sections
there are 72 miles of roads, IL is easy
to imagine the mileage of roads in
this country, says a writer In an Ex-
change. OF these hundreds Of thous-
ands of miles Of roads and streets,
comparatively few miles are paved,
and a noted authority on road build
ing prophesies that not more than 8
per cent of all the roads In this coun-
try will be paved by 1925.
1t would be excellent IL we could
have all hard rOads-brick, concrete
or macadam roads, which are good
all-year roads. We should have more
of them. But IL Is impracticable to
pave every country road. However,
IL is just as important to have good
laterals leading to the main roads as
It Is to have hard surfaced main roads.
SO we must do the best we can and
properly maintain our dirt roads and
streets.

REPAIR LARGE SPLIT LIMBS
Damage Done by Snow Breaking Val
liable Orchard Trees Can Be
Remedied by Bolting.

When heavy SHOWS split down large
limbs on valuable orchard trees, most
of the clean splits can be repaired
by boiling, but where the break Is
badly splintered and shattered 1t Is
necessary to remove the entire limb.
In repairing limb which has split
down and Is still clinging to the main
branch, 1t Is first lifted back into posi-
ton. This Is done by rOping the down
limb to a secure branch higher up.
For heavy limbs block and tackle
Is employed to bring the limb back In
to normal position.
Then bolts are placed through the
break to hold the limb securely In
position. A bolt Is usually put through
near the upper and lower part Of the
break and with long splits one or
more bolts are placed in the center
part Of the break.
Wrapping the limb back with wire
would cause girdle that would In
time weaken or kill the limb. 1t Is
not necessary to prune back the down
limb after boiling. Usually proper
boiling makes the limb stronger than
ever before.

New instrument Measures With Seen-

prepared by tha Uniteo States Department
OF Agriculture.)
A new instrument devised by the
bureau Of public roads of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
measures with scientific precision the
effect of every shock and blow dellv-
cred by moving vehicles in crossing a
bridge. Attached to any part of the
bridge structure, this instrument
makes a Photographic record Of the
effect Of the moving load. The amount
Of stretching or shortening of the part
as a result of the shocks Is represent
ed by fine black line on the photo
graph.
No blow or shock can be delivered
so quickly that the instrument will not
record its effect. 1t has never before
been possible to measure the effect of
such blows. Engineers have long been
able to calculate the effect of standing
loads very exactly; but because of
their inability to measure the effect of
quickly delivered blows or impacts,
they have never been able to proper

absolute assurance. 1t has been nee
essary to make liberal allowance for
this unknown quantity. In some cases
the allowance has not been sufficient
and the bridges have collapsed under
moving loads.
Many bridges still in service are
probably too weak to withstand safely
the sharp blows Of swiftly moving
vehicles, though they will safely carry
the same vehicles at rest or moving
at slow speed. The familiar warning
posted ut the portals Of bridge:
"Speed limit on this bridge eight miles
per hour" means that the design Of
the bridge to which it Is attached is
not strong enough to allow for impact.

CLOSE PRUNING FOR PEACHES
Greater Amount Of Fruit Bearing Wood
the Larger Will Be Yield--Maks
Picking Easier.

1t Is not always an easy job to tell
just how much pruning peach tree
requires. However, peach trees are
short lived and often require more
pruning than any other fruit. AS the
fruit buds are borne on the current
years wood 1t requires closer pruning
to keep the tree manageable. Then,
too, the operation increases the vigor
Of the tree and also makes the picking
easier. The greater the amount Of
ffuit-bearing wood the more heavy
will be the yield. AS the hardy sorts
are usually weak In growth. they re-
quire more severe pruning than the
more delicate varieties, And again the
stronger growing sorts do not have
- many fruit buds.

insect Investigations.
The peach borer is the larva Of
beautiful clear-winged moth. 1t feeds
on the inner bark at the base Of the
tree or on the adjacent roots, seriously
injuring and frequently killing the
trees attacked. Few American In
sects have been more experimental
with by entomolgists and others than
the peach bOrer.
AS a result Of experiments begun by
the department In 1915, it was found
that this pest could be largely de-
stroyed by the application Of para
dicholorobenZene, which is volatile
poison.
The chemical is applied In the fall
around the base of the tree. The soil
is first leveled off and band Of
'paradichlor'' is applied to the soil on
a continuous band about inches from
the tree trunk, using it at the rate of
| ounce per tree. After the chemical
Is applied the soil Is covered with two
Of three shovelfuls Of earth. The vapor
from the chemical permeates the soil
and kills the larvae in their burrows.
The bulletin treats briefly Of the life
and habits Of the insect; Of the worm
ing" method of destroying the borers
where there are only few trees in
