A high school building adequate to
the present and growing needs Of the
city of Augusta was assured by the
action of the citizens at the annual
school meeting held Monday evening
in the auditorium of Augusta City
Hall, when after hearing of this need
and of the unsatisfactory and unsan-
itary conditions at the present Cony
High school building and the project
for extensively remodeling that build
ing by the construction of modern
additions, the meeting voted 100000
for that purpose.
This action at the meeting. which
was attended by some 500 interested
citizens. followed consideration and
discussion of Article of the call for
the meeting, and was the most inn
portant matter of business to be
transacted. The motion carrying the
appropriation directed that the work
of construction should be undertaken
during the present year.
1t was further directed that spe-
cial building committee of three citi-
zens should be named to cooperate
with the Board of Education in sup
ervision of the contracts and con-
struction. Milton o. Dean, Edgar A.
Hussey and Thomas c. Ingraham
were elected to this committee to
have control of the high school pro-
! ject.
Thorough Presentation
The action of the citizens at the
school meeting last evening followed
over a year Of the most active agi-
tation, during which time through the
, several parent-teacher organizations
kof the city and the service clubs.
the needs of the high school estab-
lishment have been presented to the
parents and citizens. The proposal
failed of favorable consideration
year ago, mostly because OF the
varying opinions as to the necessity
and the location and type OF struc-
ture needed.
Recently the Board of Education
had the situation investigated and
Bunker and Savage, architects. OF
this city prepared tentative plans
for the enlargement of the present
old school building at an estimated
cost of about $175.00n. This project
was placed before groups of citi-
zens and everywhere seemed to be
favorably regarded.
The discussion previous to the az
firmative vote of last evening was
on the proposal to build the new
structure as suggested. but to finish
only the basement and first floors at
the present time at>a cost of about
$12O, 600. Superintendent of Schools
Fred w. Burriil said that II this
were done the immediate inadequa--
cies of the high school establishment
would have been remeiied.
On Present Site
The project which was acted upon
favorably with hardly an audible dis
senting vote calls for the erection OF
modern wings on the Cony and Stone
street frontages of the high school lot.
This new construction will enclose
and incorporate the old high school.
The clock tower. which has been a
landmark for generation and more,
will be demolished, and with the COM
pletion of the new construction the
old structure will have become entire
1y absorbed.

Veterans of Foreign Wars, commit
tees were appointed to carry on the
Annual Sale of the 'V. F. w. Buddy

beloved country, Memorial Day will

no matter where and when they fell.
AS a tangible evidence of that senti-
ment and reverence which we feel
for those who have passed on after
serving in the defense of their coun-
try, every man, woman and child
should wear poppy. which since
the eventful days of the World War
has become emblematical Of devotion
and sacrifice. President Coolidge has
expressed his approval for the third
time to the Commander-in-C chief OF
the V. F. w. fer this beautiful senti-
ment each year.

LAMR1Na HINTS

From the monthly News Letter of the
Maryland Sheep Growers Association,
we submit the following
We are now in the midst OF the lamb
ing season in some parts Of Maryland.
Take care that lambs are provided with
warm quarters for the FIRST lew days Of
their lives. 1t is a good plan to visit the
sheep shed TWO q three times dgaing the
night while lambs are coming.
Ewes that are weak after Landing may
be revived BY four or FIVE drops Of Nux
Vomica. given three times a day. This
medicine is a powerful poison and must
be used with care. 1t is procurable at
any drug store. Ewes should not re-
oeive their normal ration for several
days after Landing. Get them back on
regular feed again when the lamb is
about ten days old For best results
lambs should have access to ereeps which
may be easily and quickly made Make
a trough into which the lambs cannot get
their feet, or lie down, and keep a little
bran or ground corn before them at all
times until they get used to eating it,
then shelled corn may be added and the
bran gradually replaced with linseed oil
meal until the lambs are finally getting
a ration consisting OF about four parts
of corn and one part OF oil meal.
This ration is for fattening lambs.
Those lambs intended to be grown out
for breeding purposes should have hall
of this corn replaced with bran or oats,
making a ration, for example, consist
ing OF two parts OF corn, two parts OF
oats and one part OF linseed oil meal
For best results the oats should be
ground or crushed and the corn also
ground until the lambs are three or four
weeks Of age.
1t must be borne in mind that buyers
are not attracted by lambs unless they
are fat, especially is this true OF the
lambs to be marketed at light weights
All lambs should be docked when they
arc about two weeks Of age. Ram lambs
not intended for breeding purposes
should, by all means, be castrated at the
same time.
At this time OF year many ewes,
especially the old ones, begin losing some
OF their wool. This may be due to
rubbing, which is caused by lice or ticks,
or it may be due simply to old age. We
have no evidence to prove that ewes will
lose their wool on account Of feeding
corh or other common feeds. Lambs are
made good both by direct feeding and by
indirect feeding through their mothers.
1t is, therefore, wise to feed ewes
well during the lactation
period, after the lambs are ten days old
Winter rye pasture and couple OF
pounds OF silage per eve per day helps
to maintain the milk flow. Both lambs
and ewes in this season of year should
have free access to good clover or alfalfa
or soybean hay.

FROM CENTURY THEATRE
PRESS DEPARTMENT

THE Devils Circus the first Amer
lean production of the Danish director,
Benjamin Christianson, will be shown at
the Century Theatre during the week

Carlstop, played by Mack. Their romance
is blighted when Carlstop is sent to

Lieberkind, the villainous lion-tamer, and
incurs the jealous rage of his inamorata.
But there is happy ending. Mr.. Chris
