a formula for making paste. to
be used for treating watermelons to
prevent stem-end rot. This paste is
applied at the time of loading in

BIG HELP TO EDUCATION
Rural Schools Consolidation Il
Praised

Boston, July 4.-The movement
on foot for consolidation in rural
schools is the greatest forward
movement in the nation today, j.
B. Snyder of the Board of Educa-
ton, Perrypolis, Pa, said in an ad-
dress today before the National
Education Association here.
"We must save the rural
schools if we are to ave our ma
tion," Mr.. Snyder said. "To save
our rural schools we must consoli-
date. Many things "a be done and
many things will be done, and by
1885 rs per cent of all the rural
schools of the country will have
been consolidated.
"To bring about this consolida-
tion as rapidly as possible the Diff
ferent States should frame binding
laws on the subject; appropriate
money enough to put these laws
into effect, and put on a big pub
licity campaign in favor Of the
boys and girls Of u rural dis
riots.
"The attitude we have had as a
nation towards consolidated
schools has led, year after year,
thousands Of our rural boys and
girls up to the altar Of ignorance
and there sacrificed them to the
hard god of wealth. We cannot
long perpetuate a democracy If we
treat u rural population in the
future as we have done in the
past"

GEN0A'S GLOOM
LLOYD GEORGE AND M. BARTHott
FULL OF GOOD HUMOR- END
CONFERENCE.

GENOA-The dominant thought in
Genoa as the delegations to the eco.
nomic conference were leaving for
their homes was that although the
conference was a thing of the past so
far as Genoa is concerned its achieve.
ments would live and contribute much
to the pacifcation and reconstruction
of Europe.
The officials of some of the smaller
states undoubtedly will go home dis
appointed, perhaps angry, because
their troubles have not been settled
at Genoa. Lithuania, for example is
chagrined that Genoa has not chased
the Polish troops from Lithuanian ter
ritory, and the small Russian repub-
Itch bordering the Caspian and Black
seas are grieved because Genoa failed
to free them from bolshevik rule.
But, as whole, the belief prevails
that the Genoa conference, despite
disputes which almost pushed Europe
to the edge of precipice, has result
ed in the beginning of better under
standings between the nations of Eur
ope, including Russia. Even official
France admitted this.

GANG FRUSTRATED-SEvEN
ARRESTED.

NEW YORK.-A gigantic postoffice
holdup, SURPRISING in spectacuiarity
and daring any of the recent regis

and up class, would have been perpe-
trated at the city hall postofice but
for the keen work of postoffice in
spector, who grew bad mans beard,
consorted with the plotters and un-
covered their scheme.
This was the statement of Postoffice
Inspector Doran in making public the
details of the arrest of seven men
six of them present or past postoffice
employees. He asserted that their
capture would clear up the registered
mail theft of July IS, when $1,477,00
in Liberty bonds bound for Washing
ton were stolen from the mails, would
aid in solving a heretofore undiscov-
cred theft of $4,000 in securities adj
dressed to Waterfowl, N. Y, and
might go far toward clearing up the
$2,000,000 mail truck holdup in lower
Broadway last October.
Plans had been laid and were to
have been carried out in broad day
light for the holdup and robbing of
the entire registered mail section of
the city hall station, through which
millions of securities flow daily from
the Wall street financial zone, Inspec-
tor Doran said. Orders had been is
sued to shoot any employee who re-
sisted.
