A recent issue of the Putnam Spec tator, issuea oy tne pumis of the Pa latka high school, contained the fol lowing: At its Januarv meetinc the Parent Teacher Association voted to hold a Donation Day for the Putnam hich school library, and a committee of three was appointed to work with the faculty in making this effort to build up the library a success. It is proposed that the Thalian Literary Society of the high school render a special prosrram on Washington's birthday, to which exercises the pub lic shall be invited to attend, each person bringing as their admission fee, some good book, or the money equivalent to some good book . it may be recalled that this man worked very successfully last vear. at which time one hundred or more good books were received. It is hoped that there will be even a more gen erous response tms year. Last year we were glad to receive almost any thing that looked like a book. We had to meet a certain reauirement. nameiy Duua up a library the money value of which should be $150. This we did. This year, however, we are not wanting just any old book that somebody else does not want, but we want some of the best books from the best libraries in the town. For in stance, we want Scott's Works; Coop er's Works; The New England Poets; Thackery Works; Good History; some good works in science. We would like also to increase the num ber, of our periodicals. At present we are subscribing onlv to the Lit erary Digest, Popular Mechanics, and National Geographical Magazine. We want to add to this list the World's Work, or the Review of Reviews, Current Literature, Scientific Ameri can etc. In order to get the maga zines we must nave ' money, conse quently the cash equivalent will, in most cases be just as acceptable as the book itself. The library committee of the Par ent-Teacher's Association is conmos- ea or tne ioiiowmg ladies: Mrs. H. F. Leeks, Mrs. Tom Squires, Mrs. W H. Downing1 and Mrs. H. L.

Each grain is planted separately In a sunken bed about fifteen inches deep and three and a half feet In width. As soon us the grain sprouts the little blade Is covered with a thin layer of earth about an inch and a half in depth. The result is that you get three stalks Instead of one.
