JESSE LEE HOME CHILDREN HAVE DIVERSIFIED PERIODS
 THROUGHOUT THE DAY
RISE AT SIX IN THE MORNING
Buildings Overcroweed At Present
 Time Owing to Four Rooms.

There are now about 80 children enrolled in the local Jesse Lee Home class rooms but in addition there are some twenty or thirty children not of school age. Three more children of school age will arrive in Seward on the steamer Starr from the West. Due to the fact that rooms in the Home buildings have been made over into school rooms, the condition, even at the present time, is overcrowded and it is hoped that Territorial School will be established very soon. Four teachers are employed on the faculty staff teaching the primary grades, from the first to the eight grades. R. " B. Dunlap, superinten- dent of the institution, stated yester- day there were now three or four pupils who will be ready for high school next year.
 The regular routine of the Jesse Lee Home has never been published before so, to give one an idea of the excellent care and training the many children are undergoing, it is believed the following will be of con- siderable interest to Gateway read CTS:
 The children arise at a. m. every day, and at 6:45 breakfast is served. After a substantial breakfast the children make their beds, sweep out, wash the dishes, while others are de- tailed to the laundry, sewing room, and some of the older boys to the furnace room, carrying out ashes, garbage, also taking care of the big coal stove in the bakery.
 i At S:45 all proceed to the chapel, and at 9 o'clock they enter the class rooms where studying is carried on until the noon hour. At one o'clock to 3:30 school is again in session; from 3:30 to 5 o'clock, general work is done about the building and yards, until supper time which is over at 5:30. From 5:30 to 7:30 p. m., the children have two hours to them selves much of the time being spent in the large gymnasium. Regular schedules have been worked out for the children of various ages in line with their gymnastic activities. At 7:30 o'clock the smaller children are hustled off to bed and the older ones at 9, when lights go out.
 Every Thursday evening, between the hours of 7 and 8 o'clock, a pray CT meeting is held to which the old CT children attend. On Sunday morn ings Sunday School classes meet from 9:3O to 10:30 o'clock. Regular church services are held Sunday evtnings from ' to 8 o'clock
 With respect to the regular Sum- day services, Rev. Dunlap announces he would be glad to have the local public attend at any time they may so feel inclined. They will be al- ways welcomed.

WORMS DESTROY COTTON.

Cotton plantations in the vicinity of
Isabella and A~guadiIIa are suffering from
a plague Of worms which eat the leaves
of the plants and are able to destroy
large areas in a few days. The inva-
sion is most noticeable in the barrios of
Aquatic and Montana in AguadiIla and
Bejucos, Gotta, Mora, and Guayabos in
Isabella. With a few exceptions the
plantations near the sea have escaped
the plague.
The Department of Agriculture has
given the matter prompt attention and
has sent agents to the infected districts
to instruct the cotton growers how to
combat the attacks of the worms. More
than 800 spray pumps are in operation
in the zone and 5 tons of lead acetate
and paris green have been used recent

found he was a prisoner.
 For q few minutes Mockcr was terribly frightened. IL is always rather frightful thing to find you are q prisoner; that you cannot go and come as you will So Mockcr beat his wings against the wire until h" was sure in his own mind that this was useless. Farmer Browns Boy came slowly up 10 the trap. Every movement he made was slow. He talked to MoCker soothingly Finally MocEcr found an opening at one end. He ran through it, He did il bcI0rc he had really looked. Then he discovered he was a prisoner in a smaller cage. Almost at once Farmer Browns Boy slipped his arm through an opening in the top and caught MOckor in his hand. Very gently he lifted Mockcr out. He held Mockcr in a peculiar way, on his back. and so that MoCker could not well struggle. And somehow, after q moment. Mocker didn't mind, Very s-t'ILlN Y tIllltl lbN II . hON Nil blNNb him and talked 10 him all the time. Then he slipped something around one leg. Mockcr didn't notice if at he time. After this Farmer Browns Boy talked 10 him for a moment, ihon held his hand open. IL was all most a minute before MoCker realiz- d that he was free. Somehow all fear had gone. He got to his feet and for a second or two he sat on Farmer Browns Boys hand. Then he flew 10 the nearest tree. He had hecn a prisoner, but once more he was free.
 f wasn't until after Farmer Browns Boy had disappeared into inc house that Mocker noticed he had something he hadn't had before. There was something queer, some thing bright, around one leg. He pcckcd at it with his bill, but il wouldn't come off. He found that ii was hard. He didn't know what Co make Of il. But it didn't hurt and il wasn't uncomfortable, so it wasn't ,ong before Mocker had forgotten all about it.
 In inc house Farmer Browns Boy
 had written in little book date and a certain number. That number
 was on thc shiny thing around th' leg Of Nockor. Ii was a tiny meta
 band. and Farmer Browns Boy wal
 making q record of the date whel
 that band was put on Mocker's leg You sec. Farmer Browns Boy want
