School Children Need Hoi Lunches
The College of Agriculture Exten
sion Service is encouraging tho serv
ing of hot lunches to school children.
Surveys made in other states show
that many country school children
are undernourished. Part of this Is
due to cold lunches nt school, espec
ially In the wintor, it is believed,
Everyone knows how disagreeable a
cold lunch is on n cold day, It Is
bad enough for grown persons, let
alone children. Tenchers are encour
aged to arrange for nt least one hot
dish at noon, such as a vegetal) lo
soup, cocoa, a creamed vegetable, a
moat dish or n dessert. If It is
impossible to servo a hot dish, it Is
urged that tho qold lunch include a
pint of milk per child. Surveys 'm
Illinois show that many children suf
fer from the lack of sufficient milk.
Teachers and parents Interested in
hot school lunches should write the
College for Information and sugges
tions. Many Joining the Farm lliiremi
More than 10,000 farmers have
joined the Nebraska Farm liuronu Fed
eration in tho last month, Nine
counties hnve conducted member
ship campaigns nnd seven) more are
now In the midst of adding now
members. Ninety per cent of the
farmers In tho counties po fnr can
vassed have joined. Tumbling prices
and the money stringency are help
ing to draw farmers together for tho
protection of their interests. The
Farm Bureau Is an orderly attempt
to solve tho economic problems of
agriculture. It Is non-political,
constructive In Us Ideals and objects,
and appeals to judgment anil not to
prejudice. It stnnds rr mmd and
sane co-operation, The campaign
now in progress Is tixpecN.nl to In
crease tho Nebraska membership by
at least 60,000 farmers. More than it
million farmers In tho United States
belong to farm bureaus.

rugged outline and forms, with Its
subsidiary peaks, an impressive, rnpge.
The ascent presents no speclnl features
of dlulculty If ono of tho five well de
fined pathways Is used, but should tho
climber be bent on "pioneering," nnd
lenvo the beaten track, ho should bo
prepared for anything In tho way of
niouiitulneerlng problems.
The view from summit of Snowdon
on a lino day makes tho climb worth
while, for spread below Is Anglesey,
the Menal straits, nnd a great curve of
ocean from tho far-off extremity of
Cardigan boy to Rhyl. In tho fore
ground nro to be seen the well defined
peaks of tho sister mountrilns. Alto-'
gethcr the climb is n most exhilarat
ing form of exercise, nnd although tho
bonst of having- gained tho top does
not curry much weight, tlicro is n cer
tnln satisfaction In having reached
one's objective. Gladstone, twenty
eight years ago, after having performed
the elhhb, addressed n political meet
ing of !,000 people on the summit of
Snowdon.
UNIQUE IN ANIMAL WORLD
Elephant Har, Survived Because Ho
Hat Been Able to Adapt Him
self to Conditions.
These Is nothing else like the ele
phant. Ho has couio down to us
through tho ages, surviving tho con
ditions which killed oft his enrller con
temporaries, and ho now adapts him-'
self perfectly to more different con
ditions than nny other nnlninl In Af-'
Hen, Carl Akeley of the Amerlcun Mu
seum of Natural History writes In tho
World's Work.
Ho can cnt anything that Is green or
even hns been green, Just so long as
there Is enough of It. Ho can get,
his water from tho nloo plants on thoi
arid plnlns or dig n well In tho snnd,
of a dry river with his trunk and
foro feet, und drink there, or ho Is
equally at homo living hnlf In tho'
swamps of better watered regions. Ho
Is nt homo on tho low, hot plnlns of,
the seaconst at tho equator or On tho
cool slopes of Kenln and Elgon. So ,
fnr ns I know lie suffers from no con
tagious diseases and has no enemies
except mnn. Tlicro nro elephnnts on' '
Kenln that hnvo nover lain down for'
a hundred years. Some of tho plains
elephants do rest lying down, but no1' ,
ouo evor saw n'Kenla elephant lying
down or nny evidence thnt they 'do lio'

good traveler. On good ground a ,
good horso can outrun him, but ou
bad ground tRe horso would hnvo no
chnnco nnd there nro few animals
that can cover nioro ground In a dny
than iin elephant. And In splto of
his appearance he can turn with sur-,
prising nglllty and inovo through tho
forest us quietly us a rabbit.
Results of Hybrid Mating.
Here Is n strungo set of facts, prov
en by three different Investigators lu
three different pnrts of tho world at
threo different times.
In mutlngs of so-called "pure" races,
thnt Is to sny, Englishman with Eng
lish woman. Frenchman with Freneh
woman, German with German woman,
etc., 104.54 mora males are born than
females.
In hybrid mutlngs, that Is to say, ofj
different nationalities, there Is a moro
significant excess of male over female
births.
In mutlngs of United States whites
tho ratio Is about the same us that of
European hybrids.
In mntlngs of Unltqd Stntes colored
folks there Is u significant excess of
females over tho ratio of British West
Indian colored who uro relatively puroi
bred.

to pole through the equator Is short
er than thut at the equator. Though
lu popular lunguago tha earth Is said
to be round, like a bull, It Is really
un Irregular sphere, slightly llattened
ut the poles. Tho slight departure
from rotundity Is accounted for by
tho rupld motion of thu earth whllo
