Freda Siler, Alice Cunningham Fannie Mae Reece. This school news for this week is given to the Press just as1 it was written by the student editors. The teachers gave no help whatever. This will give the readers an opportunity to know what these young writers can do without help. A.L.EL Editorial " Since the school auditorium has been seated, we are to have chapel exercises by the different grades. These exercises will help us to begin the day in a happy state of mind and thus enable us to recite our lessons with more pleasure and ease. Chapel will be something to look forward to. , since there will now be a. variety of programs with, lectures only occa sionally. .Of course we need lectures, but if we get one every time we go to chapel, they will become tiresome and will not leave the desired impression on our minds. On the other hand, if they are given at intervals, we will appreciate them -more fully. Another way in which . chapel ex ercises help us is in training us to appear in programs. Jf children are taught to appear before an audience of schoolmates, they wilt not be em barrassed When -they must appear before larcevKatherinns of older peo ple. Some of us, who never took tart in the programs in the lower grades are "scared stiff" now if we must take even a little part in our focietv work, while if we had been trained in our earlier years this ' would be a pleasure instead of some thing to dread. , M. L. f. &), School News The Society program of last Friday was given by the,S. S. S. Society with ' Miss Weaver acting as critic. With the plays, recitations, and songs that were given, the program was a grano success. Under the excellent leader ship of Misfc Cowherd andMozclcy for the Laniers and S. S. S's., re spectively, it is hard to tell which society will be victorious in the con test for the banquet. bur atrletics under the coaching of Mr. Moss and Miss Cowherd ae pro gressng' nicely. The. boys say that, if they live over all the practicing stunts that Mr. Moss puts them though, they will be able to win over any team. Even if we have no indoor court, we are going to have dandy basket ball teams this year. Tests fo the first month are nearly over, but the report cards have not been given out yet. Most of the. stu dents think they made one hundred per cent good, but some are doubtful. L. II. '26. The grammar grades have just end ed a contest for raising money to buy scats for the school auditorium, the fifth grade getting the. most which was $17.01.' The total amount was $51.89. , Everyone was glad to see the seats arrive, after having to stand up for morning exercises. The Lanier Literary Society had a picnic out at L,ake lauiteeta last Thursday night. The girls furnished the supper and the boys a way to get out there. After supper they all came back and went to the show. Tuesday morning Mrs. Hurst gave the first morning exercise program of the year. It was very much en joyed by the school as well as some of the parents. We are glad to see Maud Burleson, Hallie Dills and James Porter back in school again, after being absent for some time on account of sickness. F. S. '27. i-. Jokes ,.

In more than a dozen states, from one end of America to the other, the question of making ' electric service available to the American farmer Is being studied, with the aid ot practi cal experiments, in a painstaking and encouraging . manner Steady prog ress la to be. noted, nTost of the states Investigating the problem in their own way, but all seeking to devise a prac tical economic program which will meet the needs of both the farmers and the power companies. i Jowa's Rural Community A rural community for efe'ctrtcal development has been established by Iowa at the. town of Garner. This community is termed a field labora tory by the. Investigators. Three rural electric service lines have been built out of Garner, running in differ ent directions. These lines cover a total of 63. miles and serve a total of 39 customers. Already a preliminary survey has been made covering all of the 39 farms, but a certain twelve farms have been picked out for Special ex periments with electricity as applied to various kinds ot farm equipment and farm-house appliances.; A state rural electric committee is conduct ing this whole investigation. Practical Work In Illinois Similar, activites have been started in Illinois, where there is also a field laboratory, located near Tolono, and Involving ten farms. Several electri cal and' agricultural interests in Illi nois are co-operating, with the Col lege of Agriculture of the University of Illinois as the guiding head. One of the Illinois electric light and power companies has built a service line seven miles long in Champaign county. Farms varying from 75 to 600 acres will pe served from this line, and will represent every type of farm enterprise. The practical work ing out of this line will be carefully studied. ' Oklahoma Starts Study Oklahoma has taken active steps to grapple with the farm-electric problem, the sentiment of a recent meeting of interested parties - being that "general rural electrification Is an Immediate progressive necessity." A special study committee has been organized, to recommend experimen tal work In Oklahoma. Sentiment In New York The organized electric light and power companies of New York have just held a conference at which the prevailing sentiment was that the utilities of the state have' an obliga tion to develop electric service for the farm, "because the average New York state farm. Is both a home and an industry." Although there is no experimental rural electric line in operation in New York state, . several large electric utilities are extending lines to serve' (he farmer in whatever way It can profitably be done. It was the opin ion that electricity should first be in troduced to the farm through the farm household, followed by the de velopment of electric power in farm work. Making Survey in Ohio A survey has been started. tn Ohio, having for its object the electrifica tion of' farms and rural communities in that state. The Ohio state rural electric committee is conducting this preliminary investigation, which will cover most of the 250,000 farms In the state. .. At present about 33,000," or 12 per cent of the farms of Ohio use electricity. ' . Following the survey now being raaas, tne committee intends to se lect an Ohio community having fif teen or twenty farms, and to make an intensive study of how electricity may be applied to typical farm processes as operated on those farms. These farms will then be electrified and the study of farm operations by elec tricity will be made, thus showing the situation without electrlcty and with A electricity. Minnesota Still Enthusiastic In Minnesota, where the first ex tensive farm electric experiments were inaugurated at Red Wing, ae tivity continues In that community. A great deal of valuable data Is being accumulated as to how tb farmer can use electricity, and the farmers themselves are finding out much about the economic problem of the power companies. Some of the electrical appliances used on the Red Wing farms have been the occasion of community gatjt erings, as was the case when the electric range was demonstrated. A huge dinner was cooked in the range; comprising, among other viands, two ten-pound hams, two angel cakes, an omelet, a broiled steak, asparagus and peas, these articles being served as a buffet luncheon to the men and women who came from miles to. see tne electric range at worit.r Tte dem onstration, with questions and an swers, did not conclude until mid nightand It was right in the middle of the haying season, too. The states where the largest num ber of farms are so far using elec tricity to a greater or less extent ap pear to be Iowa. Illinois, California, Oregon. Washington, New York, and the Dakotas. California is In a class by Itself, however, because of the im mense amount of eloctrk power used In that state for Irrigation. Electricity Their St'eed Part of the world, at least, moves by electricity. The passengers car ried In one year by the electric rail ways of Just one . state Ohio would make a line of people, shoulder to shoulder, that Would stretch five times around the earth. Card of Thanks We wish to express our thanks to the many friends and neighbors who were so kind and helpful to us on the occasion ' of the sickness and death of our dear husband and father.
