E. Schroeder farm at Arago, The re suite obtained fr.m the irrigation and the operation will be studied by those interested at a field meeting which will be held at the Schroeder farm on Friday, September 1st, ac cording to an announcement made by George Jenkins, county agent. Interest in irrigation in Coos coun ty has been increasing during recent •years and the installation was made at Arago, where water can be pumped from the river and definite records on costs and on increased yield of crops kept. While the water is being spread over the land for the present through ditches which follow the high ridges in this field, Mr. Schroeder expects to gradually develop the atrip border system which be believe« to .be the motft efficient method of irrigating this type of land. W'hen water was first applied to this land, the clover had stopped growing, and the grass, was mostly dried. At the present time the fields are greened up and the grass and clover have started to grow, according to those who are watching develop ments, and to visitors who are in creasing in number daily. The meeting which will be held at the Schroeder farm on Friday, Sep tember 1st, will start at one-thirty, ft is thought that a large number of farmers who are interested in irri gation will be present. Arthur King, Extension Specialist in Soils, will be present to assist with the meeting. All those interested are invited to at tend. Calling card* 100 for 51.00.

Classes for beginners in both departments are opened soon af ter school starts, and if a student is willing to give thought and practice to his instruction, he will ooon find that he has learned enough to meet with the ensemble, and before very long he is a member of either the band or the orcoheetra and some times of both. This year beginners on practically every standard band or orchestra in strument are invited to join the groups, 'as losees in Membership from graduation last year were a little heavier than usual. .As there is no extra charge for this work, no extra coet to the district, since the teachers in charge do the work in addition to their regular schedule of classes— thia is an opportunity which shouldn’t be. missed. All who are interested should call Mrs. Ruth Beyes for in formation regarding the orchestra and Kenneth Thompson for the band. It is hoped that even greater interest will be shown in these two organiza tions than ever before has been shown, for through them the student« receive much interesting experience.

Origin of Word ‘‘Navvy” About a century and a half ago the many advantagee of using canala rath er than horses for transporting goods were being emphasized all over Eng land. At that time canals were known as “Inland navigations’’ and soon the large bodies of men employed to dig them became known as navigators— shortened Into navvies. Presently, the railways supplanted the canals, but the men who did the hard manual work In the construction of the new Iron roads kept the old name, which Anally passed to all road makers and such workers generally.—Montreal Herald.

The Romans divided their month Into Ka lends, Nones and Ides. The Kalends came on the first of the month. In March, May and October the Nones toll on the 7th and the Ides on the 18th. In the remaining months the Nones came on the 5th and the Ides eo the 13th. The “Ides of March.” therefore, was the period from the 15th to the 1st of the following month.

Almanac Dates Far Back Into Early Day History Almanacs date far back Into an tiquity, being Issued as rar back aa the Fifth century after Christ by the Chinese. It Is thought likely that they are of even older origin, dating back Into the early days of Asiatic history, says the Washington Star. The early productions, however, were limited, as they were produced by long hand, but with the advent of printing they became much more wide ; ly dreelated. Containing much valu able Information on astronomy, the tides and other such matters, they also were cheapened by coarse and super stitious remurks. They were often given to prediction both of the course of the weather and the probable oc currence of events. Most of the prog nostications, however, were purely Im aginary, although one outstanding ex ample did occur when one Nostrada mus foretold the death of Henry II of France. Franklln'a Foor Itlchard Almanac, first published In 1732, was the most famous of the American almanacs of the early history of America. 8ince that time, however, the advancement of the almanac has been rapid, and now many are put out which are ref erence books of great value contain ing Information properly catalogued, on a wide variety of subject« Name....

Town and Sute Famous Painting at Fair Origin of Ward "Wardrobe The origin of the word “wardrobe" brings to light the old English word "ward," which survives in our lan guage today only with “off," as “ward off that danger." From the Anglo- Saxon “Weardlan," this was an an cient synonym for guard. “Warder” for a guard Is one of Its descendants. Also the “ward" In wardrobe. “Ward robe" comes to us through the old Eng lish from the old French “warderobe," which was originally “garderobe"—of German origin, and good German to day, for a room or compartment where clothes were kept or guarded. Teuchsteae “That Is the touchstone of author ity in this matter”—the touchstone of righteousness—the touchstone of hon or—there are Innumerable allusions In which the word “touchstone" is used to Indicate a criterion or a test which measures certain qualities. In these phrases the reference Is to a literal touchstone which la a black siliceous stone used to test the purity of gold and silver by the streak left on tbs stone when rubbed by the metal. The earliest recorded use of the term In the figurative way In which It la used above was In Aschnm's “The School- master,” dating 1570. The Tower of London What Is commonly known aa the Tower of London Is really a group of buildings, ramparts, walls, towers and gates, standing on high ground about a half mile below London bridge, commanding the Thames from St. Saviour's creek to St. Olave’s wharf. The names of two great architects or builders are associated with the construction of Its principal piles, the one a Benedict monk, known as Gun- dulf, the Weeper, the other an Eng lish king.

This has been made known as a result of an effort to record on the gramo phone the peculiar folk mualc that has grown up among the white Colonists since they first settled st the Cape In 1652. A number of nations have contrib uted to South African folk music, in cluding Hottentots, Malay, slaves Im ported there in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries, Bantu tribesmen from the north, and members of Orien tal races shipwrecked on the shores. But the bulk of South Africa’s folk music Is of white origin, based on that of old-time Holland, also on that of France, England and Germany 200 or •more years ago. Many of the melo dies exist only in the memories of the native fiddlers at Boer merrymakings. Perhaps the most curious phase of the local music Is that It has preserved I verses that are only historical curios In their countries of origin. 8uch, for Instance, Is the famous old lay. “Die Nonnetjle en die Rlddertjle" (The Lit tle Nun and the Little Knight), sung by Calvlnlstlc Boers, to whom a Cath olic Europe Is Inconceivable and to whom the customs of medieval knight hood are wholly nnfaroillar.
