May 15.- Opening trade in trade futures on the board of trade . today was light but the market displayed a strong undertone. May wheat was leader advancing on short covering and removal of hedges. Futures were lifeless. Improved weather and crop news overshadowed bullish feeling among long holders. i Operators in the corn market were slow coining into the market. The firm feeling was due to strength in wheat. Oats pit was practically deserted. Values started unchanged with last night's close. j Provisions firmness was due to [lacker buy.ng that offset sharply lower hogs and cables.

i! Finer School Buildings It Univer tai Demand

The little old red echttlhouee 1* dropping off into obecurlty. Like the hickory stick of the Three K’s days, I it is becoming but a (host of the dim t past. "Modern progress.” sayi the Indiana . Limestone Quarrymen’a association, .'."ls sweeping before It the flimsy shells | that once housed armies of tiny Americans. (These claptrap atructurea, cold, unsanitary and at best poor tire risks, are rapidly being by sturdy modern buildings. i “A survey just completed shows 'that during the year 1924 more than ! $225,000,000 was expended In replac- (' Ing antiquated school buildings. I I “Plans have been adopted and con-trai-ts already awarded indicate that the present year will show a still greater volume of school building con1 struction. Beauty in architecture is . being combined with utilization. "Community interest and civic pride ■ are in a measure responsible for the [stride toward better school buildings. More and more schools are becomQig community centers as wall as temples of wisdom. Space for assemblies and recreation purposes are now almost ' a first consideration. “Waste of space was a characteristic of many old school buildings. I By judicious architecture, it has been estimated, $50,000,000 could be saved, . the chief economies being In the re- ■ duct ion of waste space on stairs and I corridors and the increase in usable . area. “The future will see finer school buil- mgs with better facilities and at 1 a lower cost to the taxpayer.” Old Schoolhouse Now a Community Center One little red schoolhouse in Vernmnt has been transformed into a live--1 ly center of community co-operation, according to the statement of the superintendent of schools in Poultney, made to the Interior department, bui reau of education. This schoolhouse j was lacking in attractiveness and in the conveniences and equipment need ed by a modern rural school until ! 1922, when a parent-teacher associaI lion was organized. Things began to happen as soon as the men and women ' of the community became interested in the school. Money was raised for ( necessary equipment. Fourteen men with four teams in the school district had a "bee" one Saturday afternoon which resulted in regrading the school grounds. The people opened their homes and raised money in various ways for further improvements. The teacher co-operated with the women in their efforts to raise money. The school is now rated a "standard school," but the Red Schoolhouse Par-ent-Teacher association will continue tv work until a "superior" name plate has been placed on the building. <r &o-Getfcr” Wins There is but one sure way to get iawhat one wants, and that is to go after it and to go with such determination that obstacles to attainment 1 will be removed. This is as true of towns and communities as of men. If a town wishes another industry it will gel it much more quickly by going after it with some definite and attractive offer than by waiting for the industry to come seeking location. If a town needs a new hotel, as Albertville did, the quickest way to get one Is to do as Albertville did. It is the "go-getter” that gets results and the ti-wn that needs a hotel, an industry, a hank or a larger population must he a "go-geHer” if it hopes to secure the thing desired. Albertville bas pointed the way to many small Alabama cities. I —Anniston (Ala.) Star. Our Little Town There are fancier towns than our little burg There are towns that are bigger than this. But folks that live here in our little town Don't know of the pleasures they miss. And so we're contented to live on right here. Nor worry o'er things of the West, Or the East or the North or the South, whatsoe'er. For we know our own town is the best. —Kansas City Star. People Make Community) [ Tuscaloosa is a better city in many ways than the average. It is not line buildings, broad streets nor educational opportunities—-hut the people make a and Its the spirit that counts. Co-operative efforts will bring any city into prominence and establish it permanently in its rightful place in the sun.—Tuscaloosa News. March of Improvement i Formerly the first impression a visitor got on arriving and the last one he took away with him on leaving wag one of squalor, because the town dump lay across the, main approach to the village. Today the land where the dump stood is the property of the chic elub. Old shacks have been removed from it and refuse cleared away. It has been leveled and planted tn grass, 1 flowers and tress.

Tuberculosis Being Eradicated Rapidly Country-Wide Plan Known as “Area Work.” (Prepares by the V>lt,4 Deperlraeo* ot Agriculture.) Erudicutlng bovine tubepculosls not only from individual herds but also from entire counties, is gaining favor among live stock owners, according to a recent announcement of the bureau of animal industry, United States Department of Agriculture. The country-wide plan la known as "urea work.” Ou January 1 of this year approximately 485 counties in the United States were engaged in some form of area work. Os these, 65 counties hud reduced the extent of infeclion to less than half of 1 per cent, nuil ure officially designated as modified accredited areas. One hundred others had completed one or more tests of all the cattle within their borders and were approaching the disease-free goal. These 485 counties constitute about 16 per cent of the total number of counties in the country and contain nearly eleven million cattle. The activity is going on in all portions of the country. Following the suppression of foot-and-mouth disease in California, that state, along with the others, is now showing renewed activity in banishing tuberculosis. The cattle in Freeborn county, Minnesota, were tested under severe difficulties because ot below-zero weather. ■Forty-two veterinarians started work December 8, using teams instead of automobiles. They tested more than cattle on 900 farms, finding about 3,100 reactors. Federal officials have classed this activity as "a good piece ot work.” Purest Grade of Clover Seed Always Cheapest The best grade of clover seed sells at a higher rate than the poorer grades, but one pays less for each pound of viable seed when the best is bought. "The term, a bushel of clover seed. Is very indefinite unless you know the percentage of purity, the percentage of germination, the kind of weed seeds it contains and where it was grown,” says E. C. Blair, extension agronomist for the North Carolina State College of Agriculture. "The purest sample of clover seed ever grown is no good it it will not germinate; seed that will germinate 100 per cent are costly if they are trashy and full of troublesome weed seeds. Field tests have shown that clover seed grown in the United States will survive our winters better than those grown in foreign countries.” Mr. Blair states tiiat the North Carolina seed laboratory has set 98 per cent as the standard of purity and 90 per cent as the standard of germination. Samples received at this laboratory last year ranged from 45.80 to 99.94 per cent in purity, and from 6 to 98 per cent in germination. “A comparison was recently made of six good samples of American-grown red clover seed." says Mr. Blair. “The results of the tests showed that the best seed was the cheapest because the purchaser secured a larger number of viable seed for bls money as compared to cheaper seeds which were low in germination, trashy and full of weed seeds.” Good Summer Pasture Sow oats or inn-ley, or a good mixture of the two, and sow with it some good grass mixture as timothy and alsike. If sweet clover does well, that would be good to sow either with the other grass seeds or alone with the grain. The oats and barley will furnish considerable feed early in the summer. The grass will, if the season is favorable, make considerable feed in the late summer and fall and should be ready to make good pasture next year.

Crown The High-Grade Gasoline Means Conservation If every motorist would use Red Crown, the total saving of gasoline would make a substantial addition to our nationalpetroleum resources. For Red Crown is manufactured to scientifically correct specification. It vaporizes to the last drop. Every atom of Red Crown is converted into power—smooth rhythmic power. Bemuse the chain of boiling point fractions in Red Crown is perfect, the flow ot power is sustained—there are no gaps. Because Red Crnvm-burns clean without waste you get greater mileage on fewer gallons. Because Red Crown is maintained at a uniform high standard you always sense a leaping response from your engine every time you touch the accelerator.
