CLEANED from the EXCHANGES

The board of education of Pulaski county, following the action taken in numerous other counties of the state, has decided that until the end o' the present school year the schools of that county will be in session six days of the week, in order that the pupils may get out earlier in the spring and assist in the spring work. Rains and thawing snow in Kentucky /early in the week swelled the streams emptying into the Ohio and did an immense amount of damage to steamboats and other watercraft tied up along the Kentucky and Ohio rivers, the ice floes carrying the boats from their moorings and wrecking scores of them completely. The public schools of this city are planning to hold school on Saturdays during the months of February and March in order to partially make up the time lost while the schools were closed on account of the fuel shortage. This arrangement will make the date for the closing of the schools May 31. r-Montioello Herald.

Niles, writing in the Hotel Gazette, who believes that the present shortage of meat and fats will not end with the coming of peace, but may grow more acute and continue for five or six years, thus making It worth while to develop menus of grain, vegetables and fish on a more or less permanent basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals and other protein foods, or may be served In very small portions as a flavoring for other food In making up meatless menus this author finds our American Creole and southern cuisine a broad field for investigation.

MADE-IN-GERMANY LIES CIRCULATED IN CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with Made-in-Germany lies calculated to hinder Canadian food conservation according to an official statement received from the Canadian food controller by the United States food administration. The stories bothering Canada are of the same general character as those the United States food administrator recently denounced In this country, such as the ridiculous salt and blueing famine fakes and the report that the government would seize housewives’ stocks of home canned goods. The Canadian food controller estimates that when the people listen to and pass on such stories, each one has the power of destruction that lies in a battalion of soldiers. “Stories without even a vestige of foundation have been scattered broadcast,” said the Canadian statement “Nor have they come to life casually. They have started simultaneously in different parts of the country and in each instance have been calculated to arouse public indignation. “They are insidious, subtle, persistent Bit by. bit they dissipate public trust the great essential in the work of food control. “It lies with every individual to forbear from criticism; to refrain from passing on the vagrant and harmful story, and thus the more effectively to co-operate in work which is going to mean more than the majority of people yet realize.”

THE UNITED BTATEB FOOD ADMINISTRATION BAYBI There Is no royal road to food o conservation. We can only accomplish this by the voluntary action of our whole people, each element in proportion to its means. It is a matter of equality of burden; a matter of minute saving and substitution at every point In the 20,00*,000 kitchens, on the 20,000,000 dinner tables, and in the 2,000,000 manufacturing, wholesale and retail establishment* of th* country.

It appears that a volcano is hottest on its surface. This is the conclusion drawn by a scientist who has made investigations in Hawaii and has obtained samples of gases and lava before they reached the air. Laboratory studies of these samples make it appear that much of the heat required to keep an open lava basin in fluid condition is supplied by the chemical action of the gases. As a part of Mississippi’s drive for a 100 per cent Increase in “hog production during 1918, efforts are under way to enroll a total of 20,000 boys in corn and pig clubs, and indications are that the campaign will be successful.
