REMINGTON VOTES
 MONEY FOR SCHOOL
Only One Adverse Yote-To
 Eliminate Fire Hazards
(SpeciAl p fhs EerAlhl

Nevington. May is - The town meeting held last night at the Junior High school auditorium was fairly we'll attended and the business Of the meeting finished in less than 30 minutes. The meeting was called to order by Selectman James C. Gill bert and L. L. Harding was chosen for moderator
 The first item in the call was 10 give authority to the fire chief to or der removal Of fire hazards, and the following motion wa. introduced:
 That the chief Of the Newinston Fire Department be authorized to order the removal of rubbish brush, old lum ber or accumulations which Tn hls opinion create a fire hazard.
 Any person who has been warn ed to remove such fire hazard and does not do so within five working days shall be subject to a fine of not more than $ for the first offense."
 This motion was carried without debate
 Cemetery Fund Accepted
 The next item was 10 discuss and take action in regards to the ac- ceptance of bequest of s20o from the estate of J. Leland Welles of New York, on condition that the town give permanent care to cer- tain lots in the cemetery. This brought out the fact that the town of Newlngton takes care of the up- keep of the cemetery and if this be- quest were accepted the income could be used in addition to the reg uIar appropriation and any action thereon could be taken care of by the cemetery committee. A motion was then made to accept this be- quest and was carried.
 Vote Money for School
 A motion was then introduced that the town appropriate an addi- tional s22, 900 to remodel, equip, and build an addition to the Elm Hill school.
 William Middlemass. chairman of the building committee for the Elm Hill school, gave an outline of what the committee desired to do and stated that s30,00o had been appro- priated 10 build an addition of four rooms to this school but after the committee got into the work Of plan

It was also desired to standafdize the plumbing and to build ade- quate exists and fire escapes, and. instead of a new four room unit be- ing built, plans were so drawn that when completed the structure would be practically new eight-room school.
 The question was then asked if this additional soo,ooo would be suf- flclent 10 fully equip the eight rooms. To this Mir. Middlemass re- piled that only six rooms would be fully equipped at present and the other two rooms held for future use.

Heating Necessary for
Fruit TRANSPORTATION

When perishable fruits are shipped
long distances to market the problem
during considerable part of the year
is to keep the temperature in the car
low enough to prevent deterioration
However, there are times when the
problem is to keep the temperature
high enough to prevent freezing and
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture are now at
work on this problem.
Tests have been made with cars
standing on siding and with others
in actual transit during winter weather
where the temperature dropped as low
as 40 degrees below zero. Standing
tests were made on six cars of Gull
apples, donated for the purpose, and
showed that small amount of heat
applied continuously was sufficient to
protect fruit in lower layers. When a
large amount of heat was applied the
top layers were overheated and the
lower layers were given no better pro-
lection than with small volume.
properly circulated.
In these tests the air was circu-
lated by means of electrically driven
fans.

Hobby in Gagged Birds

Although philately is and will re-
main King Georges principal hobby, it
is not generally known that he is also
interested in the breeding and keeping
of cage birds, says the London Daily
Telegraph.
At Sandringham there is an aviary
with nice collection of budgerigars,
including some fine specimens of the
rare and fashionable blue variety. A
pair of these blue budgerigars in a
small cage were in his majesty's room
throughout his illness and became re-
markably tame.
The king is not the only monarch to
be interested in these charming little
birds, for the emperor of Japan is SO
devoted to them that they became
loyal vogue among his subjects. Abour
two years ago the japanese demand
was SO great as TO clear out the mar
ket, and for short while the niice
of blue budgerigars rose to fantastic
figures-as much as 5000 being given
for nice pair.

Wonderful Vital Force
in Every Work of Art

Art does not exist for education.
What we call art is fragment of life
that has miraculously survived the
centuries. Whose life no one can say
with certainty, nor how it came here.
For in art, as in procreation, life is
the first and only essential. Whose
life is no matter, the life of the artist,
the life of the people that made the
artist, the life of the natural forces
that is the people. The only thing
that matters is the intensity of the
life and our awareness of it.
The true function of a museum of
art is nothing less than to make us
aware of that life, tear down the veil
that time and changing manners con-
spire to interpose between art and us,
and bring us into immediate contact
with the immense vital forces that in
every great work of art lie imprisoned.

Fans may be out of date, but If they
ever come back in style. you must
get one Fanny. You could do So
much with it.
In the modern sense fan is one
who is very enthusiastic concerning
some sport or some thing. TO us 1t
means an ardent follower. You are
all of that when your enthusiasm is
once aroused.
You are inclined to be quite steady
in your delights
The serious side of your nature might
find its best outlet in nursing or in
teaching. 1t is likely. however, that
you would couple this with the natural
duties arising in home of your own
This is because you are primarily do
nestle.
So. if you do not want career
among the great ones, so-called,
shall not blame you. Much study has
convinced ME that all the happiness
of life is not in careers. even though
there are many happy people who have
developed greatness.
But if you should decide upon a
career. something dramatic or literary
should claim your devotion. FANNY
Hurst gives you a good example of
how your name could be made famous
in the literary field. You might fLd
that there was not such a great diff,
ference between Fanny Hurst and
Fanny You. for she is just human
being like yourself, who has brought
out the common things of life in a
big, fine wa.
Now the way to bring out the com
mon things in a big. fine way is to
put the finest bigness of yourself into
the common things you do. That is
not too preachy. is it?

you may see in the Bible. There are
only ten chapters in the Book OF
Esther, and it will inspire you won
derfully to read it.
In the Greek ESQ practically means
within, while ESTHES means apparel
Coupling these two with the ancient
ES means that you should be clothed
with fire, blazing example of right
eous power.
Strange TO remark, a large part OF
this will demonstrated in the way
you carry your beautiful throat
For with the thoughts. the ambi

ercise much control. Practice before
your mirror as to which positions best
exhibit your throat, for there is an
other reason your skill in this will be
effective.
This second purpose, though not
secondary in fact, is your healing abil
ity, signified in the last syllable OF
your name. THEIR. The syllable THEIR
is a primary root in the word thera
peutics. which means to possess heal
ing qualities.
First, practice dignity and haughti
ness before your mirror especially as
expressed through your pose of the
throat Next. see how much of condo
scension and gentle loving kindness
You can express. Make it appear to
yourself that you are descending from

The violet is the state flower of Illi-
nois, New Jersey, Rhode Island and
Wisconsin. Yet both Illinois and New
Jersey gave more votes to both the
wild rose and the columbine than they
did to their own state flower. Both
Rhode Island and Wisconsin gave
more votes to the wild rose than to
the violet, but both placed the column
bine third in the running. A similar
situation is shown in Nebraska and
; North Carolina where the goldenrod is
the state flower. Both states voted for
the wild rose over their state flower.
In Nebraska the goldenrod was Sec
ond with the columbine third and the
violet fourth. But in North Carolina
the state flower was placed third, beat
ing out only the violet.
Another interesting development
was the failure of the phlox, leading
contender early in the campaign, to
make a good race for the honors, es-
pecially when it apparently had so
many points in it's favor, one of it's
strongest supporters was DR.. Edgar
T. Wherry, well-known government
hOtanist and chemist connected with
the bureau of soils and chemistry a,
Washington. Early in the campaign
he was quoted as follows:
While / personally favor phlox,
wouldn't be particularly disappointed
if it were defeated and some equally
attractive and appropriate flower Sc
lected. am primarily interested in
having suitable and beautiful flower
selected for the official national flower
OF the United States. A number of
proposals of individual plants have
been made, but some of the plants Sc
lected have been too restricted in range
to be regarded as typifying the coun-
try as a whole.
The one genus, however, which has
apparently never been given considera-
tion until now, but which has many
points in its favor, is the phlox This
charming flower is typically' North
American, only single member (Phlox
sibirica) occurring native to any 9TH
er continent, and this one being COM
mon to Alaska and Siberia. One or
more species of phlox grow wild in
every state in the Unicn except Maine
England states, and at least two spe-
cies have become more or less natural
lied in that region.
1t is handsome and snowy flower,
and many species are so popular that
they have been brought into cultiva-
ton, and most of them have proved
easy to grow, which lessons the dan-
ger of determination of individual spe-
cies which might result from the pub
lie interest sure to be attracted to
national flower.
Most important, too, phlox comes in
our national colors, red, white and
blue, and some Of the varieties are

Early Sowing Generally
Means Bigger Crop

Minnesota experiment station tests
have shown that early sown oats. bar
ley, spring wheat, and fax have
better chance of making good crop
than if sown week to ten days later.
In these tests production decreased as
the seeding was delayed. Seeding
oats ten days later than the usual
time cut the yield four bushels an
acre with early varieties and five
bushels an acre with the late varie-
ties. Where seeding was delayed 20
days. yields at harvest dropped from
nine to twenty bushels an acre. Seed
ing a month late cut the yields about
in two.
The rule for early sowing holds
good even If clover or alfalfa is to
be planted with the small grain. Glow
er will do best If seeded as early as
the ground can be worked.

Soy Beans Are
Good Cash Crop
No Winter Killing as Is Case
With Wheat Because
Planted in Spring.

In weighing the comparative ad.
vantages of wheat and soy beans as a
cash crop, the Ohio farmer will do
well to remember the factor of aban-
donment of wheat due to winter kill
ing, suggested G. r. Arnold OF the
rural economics department Of the
Ohio State university.
New Cash Crop.
Soy beans have assumed new i'm
pOrtance as cash crop In Ohio,
through recent establishment of fac
tories for converting the beans to in
dustrial and other uses. With certain
favoring factors the crop may sue
cessfully compete with wheat, which
has heretofore been the principal cash
crop of the state.
During the past eight years, accord
ing to reports of the United States
Department of Agriculture an average
of more than II per cent of the winter
wheat acreage in Ohio. has been aban-
doned because of winter killing. In
one year GA per cent of the acreage
was abandoned for this reason.
Loss Is Suffered.
Since soy beans are planted in the
spring they are not liable to this draw
back. abandoned wheat acreage has
usually been planted to oats, it is
true" says Arnold. "But the owner
has suffered loss nevertheless. He is
out the cost of his seed wheat, posi-
bly, half the cost of his fertilizer, and
all the labor involved in planting, IL
though the seed bed preparation is not
lost. Further, his program for the
year, which included the growing of
wheat, is thrown out and his cash re-
turns from oats will not be so large as
returns from the same acreage of
wheat. The abandonment of wheat
acreage is an important point in con-
sidering the growing of soy BEANS"

Meadow Fescue Is Grass
Adapted to Wet States

Meadow fescue is grass adapted

Timothy and red clover are used
principally in its place on a good many
corn-belt farms. IL you can grow

that you raise them instead of fescue.
