PASTURES HOLD POISON WEEDS, BOTANIST SAYS Purdue Warns Stock Owners of Early Spring Dangers. Times Special LAFAYETTE, April 10.—Spring livestock losses may be reduced by keeping animals out of pastures until 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 a 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 cocklcbur sprouts, water hemlock, dwarf larkspur and Dutchman's breeches or *nggcrweed. The cocklebur and water hemlock, he said, are natural inhabitants of wet, swampy lands, while the Dutchman's 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 agalnut early pasturing in fields where wild cherry sprouts are abundant. These, he said, contain prussic acid, a deadly forage poison. The wilted leaves of the cherry tree also are poisonous, Mr. Lee disclosed, ana numerous losses of livestock have Deen reported where broken branches become accessible to animals. After a storm, he suggested, it is advisable to remove branches that have been blown down in pasture lands.

Extry! Extry! Here Is Great News! 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 53 newspapers published by Indianapolis public schols. The Duck Pond News, published by 2B ppils of School 82, would be one of the first elementary papers to catch your eye if you had a 1 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 childern have made: “We live near the duck pond. We raise 120 ducks. We have 117 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 alone the chalk ledge. Come visit our family of ducks. Now, can you guess why we call our paper Duck Pond News?” Laving fathomed this riddle, the reader turns to the last page, wnich is filled with hand-drawn and colored cartoons. One is a picture of a 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 yesterday.” Perhaps the next paper to attract attention would be the Booster, published at School 54. It is a mimeographed sheet distingnished by its readability and freehand pictures. It also contains some poems, one of the most striking being by Marjorie Schulz, 4A, and called “Way Out West.” Way out West, you know, Where the wild horses go, Where the cowboys dance and play, Where the 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 writing is one of the chief aims of the school newspaper, William A. Evans, director of publications, pointed out, and of the approximately 2000 children engaged in editing, writing and printing these newspapers, several show a genuine talent, he said. The papers are almost entirely a pupil product, he said, and are often carried on as a project of the English department, by a press club or by students who happen to write well. The papers likewise promote school spirit and interest in the projects various classes are engaged in, Mr. 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 a Good Example Whittier Whittlings is the intriguing name of the paper published at School 33.

this verse by Charles Davis, 78, and "Inspired by Riveters”: “Tower builders up so high, Working faithfully beneath the sky, Beams of steel they join together, While working in all kinds of weather. So riveters ring And hot bolts fly And strong men toil 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 gold, And with it, luxuries they can behold. So riveters ring,” etc. Kipling May Have Rival The late Kudyard Kipling may soon have a rival in Charles Davis, 78.

bined circulation of 10,000. The six high school papers’ circulation is about 6000. All the papers are selfsupporting. None receives any school money. Parent-teacher organisations sometimes help by purchasing a mimeograph machine. The Shortridge Daily Echo is outstanding among high school papers. It is believed to be the first daily high-school paper ever published in the United States. A different staff publishes the paper each day of the school week and it has a circulation of about 1500, They’re Ambitious, Too An interesting slant on the ambitions of children today is to be had from the Sloan Messenger, published by School 41, which ran a symposium on what members of the 8A class dished to be. These are some of the answers: - Bob Boyer—“l have an idea which might lead to the discovery of per-

TOWN'S WOMEN RULERS RESENT ‘PETTICOAT’ TAG Agree to Govern but Want It Understood They Know Styles. By United Press GREENTOP, Mo., April 10.—This town’s petticoat government-elect today “resented” being referred to as a petticoat government. “Petticoats,” the five women victors in Tuesday’s election said in a press statement, “are out of date.” Elected when the 46 voters who went to the polls wrote their names on the back of blank checks of a defunct bank which were used for '‘allots, the women at first thought they were the victims of a practical joke. They had not announced as candidates, had made no campaign, and didn’t know what was up until the election was over. Then it was petual motion. For one of my shop projects I shall make this machine and see how good my idea is.” Manoush Hagopian—“My greatest ambition is to play in a symphony orchestra.” He’s Good, His Friends Say Florence Koenig—“My first ambition is to be an entertainer. My second is to become an African hunter because the study of reptiles and wild animals entrances me.” Billy Mathews —“I am especially interested in dress designing. At night I sit for hours drawing pictures. My friends tell me I’m pretty good.” Marjorie Spencer—“l wish to become a primary teacher. I have my own idea as to how I would do things.” Bob Ittner—“My ambition is to own a music store and teach the accordion.”

bruited about that some of the menfolk, piqued by feminine criticism of the way they governed Greentop’s 268 citizens, had determined to put the women in control and let them work things out for themselves. Mrs. Ira Pearce, wife of the proprietor of the general store, became mayor-elect because she polled the heaviest vote for council member. She got 24 votes, defeating her husband who got only 15. Mrs. Floyd Beck, attractive school ma'am, also defeated her husband, getting 19 votes to his 1. Beck runs an eating place. Mrs. Pearce and some of the other women at first felt they ought not to serve because only one-third of the town's voting strength was represented in the balloting. “If everybody had voted we might not have been elected,” she said. But Greentop’s male population met that objection gallantly by as- I suring the ladies that they were! the people's choice. The husbands told the women to “go ahead and govern.” So the councilwomen- j elect got together and decided to accept their honors. Ex-Mayor Happy Happiest man in town over the 1 outcome of the election was Irv Robinson, who for the last eight years has served as Mayor without remuneration. “It’s a lot of grief,” said he. “I'm glad to be out of it. “There was no joke about this election,” Robinson said. “Somebody suggested an all-woman ticket, and the men decided to support It.” Other members of the new Council: I s r rs. John Young, attractive brunet- wife of a lumberman; Mrs. C. H. Vanosdol, wife of an oestopath, and Mrs. Bryan Arnold, wife of ai. automobile dealer. None has he! \ a public office before.
