;0N NEW BUILDINE
3
Gn Monday morning of next week a
force of woikmen will resume opera
tions on the administration building
at the Third District A. & M. school,
t the direction of the construction work
, being in the hands of O. T. Lawson, of
Plains, as superintendent.
The administration building is to re
place the structure destroyed by fire a
little over two years ago, and when
! completed will stand as one of the
' finest buillings of its kind in the state.
It is to cost $30,000.
More than a year ago the founda
tions of the building were laid, but on
account of a shortage of funds, the
walls were not erected, although suffi
' cient money was available to complete
the construction as far as the roof.
It. was thought best not to go ahead
with the work until the building could
be fully completed. The funds are
naw available and the major portion of
the materials already on hand, so that
the question of securing a sufficient
force of workmen is the only prob
lem now to be solved.
It is expected that the new building
will be completed and ready for occu
pation by the time the school opens
•this fall.
WILL PROSECUTE ALL
TRAFFIC HOLMS
Drivers of vehicles who fail to ob-|
' serve the provisions of the traffic:
ordinance govemong the operation of
■automobiles and wagons at the ap
proach of the fire apparatus, will be
prosecuted vigorously, according to a
statement from the authoroties to
day.
I On several occasions since the pas
sage of the new traffic ordinance, ve
hicles have narrowly escaped collis
ion with the fire apparatus answering
an alarm and since the fire engines
have the right of way on the streets
I while going to the scene of a fire, other
' vehicles must pull to one side of the
I street, giving the apparatus a clear
passage.
j Yesterday morning, in answering an
1 alarm on Lee street, the fire truck nar
irowly escaped collision with passing'
(vehicles, and hereafter offenders
| against the ordinance will be severely
1 dealt with.

The home-canning specialists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture urge
every housekeeper to save bottles —
especially wide-necked ones —for put
ting up fruits, preserves, jellies, jams,
and fruit juices. Saving of bottles is
highly important, they say, as there
i threatens to be a serious shortage of
' regular jars and preserving cans this
, season.
' The fruit products named, if sealed
! with corks and paraffin, can be kept
; perfectly in these makeshift containers.
Jellies, jams, and preserves can be
kept even in ordinary drinking glasses,
I by the use of paper and paraffin. Fruit
i juices should be packed in ordinary
small-necked bottles.
i Vegetables, soups and meats, on the
( other hand, to keep must be sealed by ■
' the usual fruit-jar or tin-can packing
• • methods. Reserve regular containers
for foods that can not be packed in I
bottles.
The specialists are also urging all |
. members of canning clubs and others.
i not only to can products, but to dry'
> and evaporate all such products as ap
ples, pumpkin, and squash. They ad-j
vise strongly that if containers are |
scarce locally, those in stock should be
used to preserve perishable products.
| which have the highest nutritive value.

Have fed 200 tons of Buckeye Hulls
i
Foster & Fits, Tuscaloosa, Ala., have fed 200 tons of Buckeye Hulls
and are still feeding them. Users like these—and there are thou
- sands of them—have proven conclusively that Buckeye Hulls are
not only the least expensive but the most satisfactory roughage
on the market. You are not buying an untried product when you
order your first ton of
▼RAM MAM
RU
V HULLS
LINTLESS
Vou can rest assured from the experience of many other successful
e farmers, stockmen and dairymen that Buckeye Hulls will meet your
s needs better than any roughage you ever have used before. You
can look forward to your roughage not only costing you much less
than formerly but giving you better results. No lint. No trash. No
waste. No trouble.
’> To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls
g thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.

Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the South. Tells
how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fattening, for work. Describes
Buckeye Hulls and gives directions for using them properly. Send for your

Nothing should be packed in jars or

ively in other ways.
Candy containers or other glass
jars with screw tops or glass stoppers,
and in fact any receptacle of glass,
crockers or porcelain, can be esaled
with cork or paper and paraffin.
Large tin canisters or tin cans
with removable covers, provided the
body of the container is air and water
tight, will be found useful in canning
certain fruit products. Such contain

hermetically sealed in places with
solder or wax.
