 Other Liens Held
 Tn city still holds liens against other parts of the Beardsley & Wolcott company's holdings but the $50,000 cash settlement completed today, plus the turning over of sev- eral acres of Waterville land to the municipality, brings the long litigation involving the concern practically to a close.
 Litigation concerning the city's claim for taxes and interest went through the federal district court and the appellate division of the federal court governing New York and New England. The city won a reversal of District Judge Carol c. Hincks' decision denying 1t in- te.e-t and the compromise of $50,- 900 was the result.
 It was stated today that the extra land deeded to the city of Water bury will be sold at an opportune time and proceeds will be turned into the general treasury.

About Our Pupils; It's Sure to Amuse
Rivals of Ours, Very Good,
Too; Glad We Are to Give
Them Their Due.
BY JOHN JOHNSON

Question-How many newspapers
are there in indianapolis?
Answer-Well, to begin with. there
are SO newspapers published by In
dianapolis public schols.
The Duck Pond News, published
by 2B ppils of School 80, would be
one of the first elementary papers
to catch your eye if you had a
chance to leaf through them all
because a bright yellow duck is
featured on the cover. Inside is this
explanation, based on duck cutouts
the Children have made:
I'VE live near the duck pond. We
raise 120 ducks. We have lit black
ducks. We have two white ducks.
We have one yellow duck. We do
not feed our ducks. We have to
wash and iron our ducks. Our ducks
swim on the table covers and chair
covers. Some of our ducks swim
along the chalk ledge. Come visit
our family of ducks. Now, can you
guess why we call our paper Duck
Pond News?"
Baving fathomed this riddle, the
reader turns to the last page, which
is filled with hand-drawn and COL
ored cartoons. One is a picture of
goldfish bowl with one yellow
fish. one red fish and one black fish
inside it. The fish are saying:
"We are the fish. We are very
sad. One OF our brothers died yes
terday."
Perhaps the next paper to attract
attention would be the Booster, pub
lished at School 81. 1t is a mimeo-
graphed sheet distinguished by it's
reliability and freehand pictures. 1t
also contains some poems, one of the
most striking being by Marjorie
Schulz, "A, and called Way Out
| West"
Way out West, you know,
Where the wild horses go,
Where the cowboys dance and play,
Where tic cattle run all day,
That is where I long to be,
And I would not get hurt, not me.
Helpful, Says Director
The development of creative writ
ing is one of the chief aims of the
school newspaper, William A. Evans,
director of publications, pointed out,
and of the approximately 1000 chill
dren engaged in editing, writing and
printing these newspapers, several
show genuine talent, he said.
The papers are almost entirely a
pupil product, he said, and are often
carried on as project of the
English department, by press club
or by students who happen to write
we'll.
The papers likewise promote school
spirit and interest in the projects
various classes are engaged in, MIR.
Evans said, and, in general, serve
the same purpose in the life of the
school as the metropolitan paper
does in the life of the city.
Here's Good Example

triguing name of the paper pub
lished at School 33. Pupil poets

Inspired by Riveters":
Tower builders up so high,
Working faithfully beneath the
sky,
Beams of steel they join to-
gether,
While working in all kinds of
weather.
So riveters ring
And hot bolts fly
And strong men toll
And sweat and die. :. :.
But the city's towers grow
straight and high.
Why do they work up there so
high
Knowing always that death is
nigh?
They do it because the stake is

And with it, luxuries they can

So riveters ring" etc.

ers of Early Spring
Dangers.

Times Special
LAFAYETTE, April 10.-Spring
livestock losses may be reduced by
keeping animals out Of pastures un-
til the grass has a good start, Oliver
c. Lee, Purdue University botanist,
said today.
Mr.. Lee pointed out that there are
several species of poisonous plants
that make their appearance in early
spring, and that grass shortage at
that time causes livestock to eat the
undesirable plants for want of
something green.
Among poisonous species that he
warned against are cocklebur
sprouts, water hemlock, dwarf lark
spur and Dutchmans breeches or
-Eaggerweed.
The cocklebur and water hemlock,
he said, are natural inhabitants of
wet, swampy lands, while the Dutch
mans breeches and dwarf larkspur
are found in wooded areas.
The cocklebur, he explained, is
poisonous only in the tWo-leaf stage,
but at that time it is particularly
dangerous TO pasture hogs on land
infested with its growth.
A note of warning was sounded by
The agricultural extension official
against early pasturing in fields
where wild cherry sprouts are
abundant. These, he said, contain
prussic acid, deadly forage poison.
The wilted leaves of the cherry
tree also are poisonous, Mr.. Lee dis
closed, ana numerous losses of live
stock have peen reported where bro
ken branches become accessible to
animals.
After a storm, he suggested, it is
advisable to remove branches that
have been blown down in pasture
lands.
