Thirty-one companies) with a minimum mem--1" '. ship of 10, are. shown to have been incorporated in various counties of Hi. 1 state since Jan. 1. officers of the various companies, t king advantage of the elastic law. orts show, are submitting lists of t ir members of their respective < inty coinmisssioners, who in turn : o authorized to designate persons i (lowed with police powers. Commissioners have the power to n the lists over to county officers thorizing them to appoint any or all olicants as police officer ■. Attempts to make the police ap- ” intments .required instead of oponal failed at the last session of the islature. G. F. Lowe, Covington, nd organizer for the National ■ -se Thief Detective association, 'sent when the bill was introduced. aid its objects were to “force certain minions of the law to prosecute tninal violations committed by one 1 'heir own creed.” ‘oples’ Restaurant Raided by Mob Friday Vt 3:30 o’clock yesterday after >n, scores of children were seen aning across lots, lawns and streets, headed for the same goal.

HOT LUNCHES FOR RURAL SCHOOL CHILDREN — | Many teachers in the small rural | schools are serving hot lunches. | Those who do it best find that it is j well to have the interest and co-op-eration of both school board and parents before beginning to serve lunches. The equipment needed is inexpensive. A few cooking utensils, j a two-burner oil stove and some tow- j | els are enough. Children usually furnish their own cups, bowls, and spoons. There are many ways of obtaining the necessary food supplies for the warm noon-day dish. Sometimes the food is bought by the: school and the cost pro-rated among the children. It is important if only; one hot dish is prepared, that milk be used freely in whatever is served,' whether soup or some other food. By means of the hot school lunch, j children may be taught the value of foods in the diet, how to prepare! them and how to select a properly J balanced diet. Children will learn to like milk and vegetables if the foods are well prepared and are popular with other children in the school. The United States Bureau of Education. Department of the Interior, Washington. D. C., has recently published two pamphlets giving suggestions regarding the school lunch. These may bo had upon request. o PLANS COMPLETE FOR PURDUE Everything is in readiness for the fifteenth annual Purdue egg Show which will he held at Purdue University. April 30 to May 3, and indications are now for upwards of 1,000 entries, even above the record established last year. Forty cups worth more than SSOO and other prizes, which sends the value of all above SI,OOO, will be offered, a considerable increase over that of last year. There are a total of 12 classes, including experiment stations and universities; Purdue students; Purdue faculty; members of state poultry association; commercial egg class, open to anyone not a student and especially for farmers, commercial egg producers and packers; fanciers’ class especially for poultry fanciers and farmers; miscellaneous class open to anyone not listed; grade school class high school class, and a special class for branch houses of poultry buyers and packers. Judging will be started Tuesday, May 1, and in order to assure that all eggs be received in time to be laid for the judges it is suggested that they reach Lafayette not later than April 28. The following directions are given for packing eggs for shipping: The eggs should be packed in regulation shipping box. market basket or bushel basket. Ordinary shipping cartons with bran as filler placed in these baskets carry eggs very nicely. Every egg should be surrounded by | excelsior or some other good packing. material. Wrapping eggs in news-; papers should be avoided as the egg is marked by the print. A cracked egg is a disqualification. Great care, therefore, should be exercised in pack- j ing. Eggs packed as recommended will stand shipment by express or maid with small risk of damage. An extra egg or two should be sent with each exhibit to cover any breakage in transit. Exhibitors need send no special trays for displaying eggs as these ! will be provided for the management. — o— Spanish ....umed. All the region acquired by the United States from Mexico, particularly j southern California, keeps alive in its place names the memory of its Spanish explorers and settlers. While | there are Indian names on the Pacific coast, it is a curious fact that these are few, relatively speaking, in comparison with the rest of the country. North of the Spanish belt capes and towns often reflect the loyalty of early settlers to the older states of the Union. GgrrulOUs a* Ever.

These long, white ten- ' der sprouts sap the vitality and vigor and consequently greatly reduce ’ [ yields. Many boys are given the task of rubbing off the sprouts, a job which is unpleasant and unprofitable. 1 i "Greening” or “green sprounting” will help to remedy this condition, Purdue University horticulturists i point out. Potatoes should be kept I in a cool, dark place until they show signs of sprouting then bring them up and spread the tubers out not j more than two deep in a well-lighted .airy place. If they have already sprouts on them these should be rubbed off before spreading them Notice to Farmers I, the undersigned, will stand my stallion at my farm the’ coming season. I have a good, full-blooded. Pedigreed Belgian stallion, ‘ Bob Wlijtek” No. 12038. He is a sorrel roan, with light mane and tail.
