It consisted of certain phases in the life of Thomas A. Edison. The program, which show ed much originality' was splendidly rendered. It showed the good speaking ability of the pupils who took part in it. Roy Callison the chairman of the program, first told something of the chilhood of Edison. Jack Hendrix told about when Edison induced his father’s chore boy, Michael Oates to swallow a quantity of seidlitz powders, be lieving* that the gases thus gener ated would enable him to fly. J. P. Sullivan illustrated Edison as* a young newsboy on a train, *■ who had, in one of his experi ments, caused an explosion on the train* He received a box on his vears which made him nearly deaf. This proved to. be a blessing in disguise because it increased his marvelous powers of concentra tion. Woodrow Callison told of his in vention of the telegraph. Lizzie Mae Edmunds told of Bell’s invention of the telephone k to which # Edison, with his genius, * added much improvement. She also related how Edison was the first to say, “hello” when talking at the telephone. Frances Strom entertained the pupils with a selection on the phonograph illustrating Edison’s invention of the phonograph. • Evelyn Brown told, in conclusion of the electric light, how it start ed with the crude carbon lamp and was finally perfected in the incandescent light we have today. We are looking forward for anoth er program from them soon. * R. W. McCORMlCK HIGH TO > HOLD CONTEST. McCormick High School is pre paring to enter the State Contest which will be held in April.

The best remedy is a mixture of 2 parts pine tar and 1 part cotton seed oil, applied with a syringe. No more should be applied than will stay in the ear. If the ear passage contains hard masses of ticks and ear wax, they should be scraped out before treatment. Us ually one application of the pine tar and cottonseed oil is enough, if the stock are kept away from places infested with ear ticks. These parasites not only cause wounds in the ears, but suck the animals’ blood, causing lojvered vitality, loss of weight unthrifti ness. and in dairy cows, lessening of the milk flow.
