CHILDHOOD AND
MUSIC MADE ONE

Parents! Mothers and Fathers of
public school children! Here's some
thing to con over.
That old problem:
How can we give the children
music lessons?" comes anew each
autumn.
Maybe they haven't any talent"
says dad.
You know. you've heard the old
argument over and over again.
Now-news!

Community Music Classes" where
instruction is given "for the sole
purpose OF making possible the be.
ginning of musical education Of pu-
pills who otherwise might not be
able TO study
The charges for these classes are
only sufficient TO maintain this
new branch of music in the public
schools. The work Is under the
Community Center Department.
charge of orchestral classes. Edith
B. Athey is in charge Of piano
classes.
No justification of this work is
now needed. The demonstrations of
the past two years has clearly
shown that substantial, permanent
foundations are given; that love of
music. and of good music, enters
into the school period at the same
time that love of good literature
and art is being instilled into the
child at the impressionable age.
These demonstra lions, by the
way. are a real joy to behold, for
the eager. happy faces of children
Of the grades" as we call them.
They are an equal pleasure to hear
AS l know. having attended two
of them.
The main office, where definite
information may be obtained, is al
the 1Berret School, Fourteenth and
@ Streets Northwest, in the office
of Dr.. e. n. c. Barnes. director of
music in the public schools OF the
District of Columbia.
Glasses will be held on Saturday
mornings, between 8 and IL o'clock,
at the following schools:
Thomson School. Twelfth and L
Streets Northwest.
Wilson Normal School, Harvard
and Eleventh Streets Northwest.
Hine Junior High School, Seventh
Street, between Pennsylvania Ave
nue. and C Street, Southeast.
In addition, after-school classes
will be held at other community
centers.
A leaflet has been sent home to
every parent. The children have
been intrusted with them. But not
one-hundredth part of the value and
the joy of these classes can be OBJ
tanned from a printed leaf.

Plant Lice Prevalent

reports from different parts of
kennebec county indicate that plant
nee are likely to be more prevalent
this season than before for several
years. These little insects, most va
rieties of Which are green in color.
are likely to do serious damage to
peas, potatoes, young apple trees and
other crops If they become numerous.
They are difficult to fight because
they are sucking and not chewing
insects, because they live on the ur-
derside of leaves, and because there
is a tendency of the leaf to curl
downward where they are found
thus protecting them from sprays
which may be used.
Plant lice cannot be poisoned. but
they may be controlled by certain
contact sprays or dusts. the basis of
most OF which is a tobacco prepar
alton such as black leaf forty or mic
otine dust.
Since they can be killed only BY
contact it is necessary to cover
every single louise in order to get
perfect control.

IMPORTANCE OF CHARCOAL

Many poultry raisers overlook the
Importance Of feeding charcoal
chiefly, it would seem, on account of
the lack of full information as to
the benefits that are to be derived.
In the selection of charcoal for
feeding the first essential is that the
wood be thoroughly carbonized Sc
that pitch, tarry or oily properties
found in some grades of charcoal
will be completely driven off and the
charcoal that remains will be
practically free from these inpur-
tiles.
Charcoal in this form has its
greatest value for feeding to poul-
try. The charcoal is very porous
and therefore more absorptive OF
gases. The absorption of stomach
gases is the chief benefit derived. II
may be said that since charcoal
serves such purpose that continual
feeding to poultry is not necessary,
that poultry do not require a con-
slant aid to the assimilat ton of their
food. However true this may be
most large poultry raisers are in
business not only for their interest
in poultry raising but also the in
come that is derived from the sue
cessful operation of such a business.
Such a poultry raiser is interested
in the quick development of chicks
for the market and such a develop
ment is assured and speeded up by
the constant aid of digestion and
therefore better assimilation of food
What is good for the large poultry
raiser is also good for the small
raiser

Hog Lice

very few owners admit that their
hogs are lousy. And there are MANY
Who have never seen the lice on
the1r hogs, especially if they have a
PACK breed. In fact. some people
who have hogs do not even know
that hog has lice.
On black or red hog the eggs.
being white, can be seen easily with
the naked eye. However. the eggs
are laid on the hairs and quite close
TO the body so the observer has to
know what he is looking for in
order to detect them. Louise eggs
are about the size of foxtail seed
or the length of a timothy seed but
a little fatter.
Hog lice are always persistent but
they are more so in winter than in
summer. If the hogs have a sum-
mer Wallow, they will smother many
lice by merely submerging in the
Wallow and if the owner throws
crankcase oil on the water it is
goodby lice for sure. But in winter
there is slight chance for the hogs
to free themselves from these gal
Looping pests. Hog oilers DESTROY
some but good disinfectant ap-
piled to the hog viii reach the mac
cessible spots.
ABOUT the easiest way to control
hog lice in winter is to watch for
the warm days and when they come,
crowd the hogs into a tight pen,
the more crowded the better. then
get up on the side of the pen with
dip or hog oil in sprinkling can
and sprinkle them.
To be entirely successful in louise
eradication, dip the hogs again in
eight days because one cannot use
material strong enough to kill the
nlts without taking the hair off the
hogs. 1t takes the eggs from eight
to ten days to hatch, depending on
the temperature, so dipping again
in eight days gets those that hatch
ed after the last dipping
Crankcase oil has little value in
winter. 1t does not spread proper
ly without the addition of too much
Kerosene Or gasoline. If the pigs
have warm place to sleep. crank
case oil can safely be sprinkled on
the bedding

Lincoln, at the most critical time

back up the strategy of Grant in spite
of political opposition. If-evcr har

which would help him in his political
trials. surely Lincoln would have
been justified in so doing in August

Not only was there pressure from

election was drawing near, and there
