We make a SPECIAL STUDY of the 

 needs of Boys in Suits, Hose, Blouses and 

 the like. All our Knee Snits have two pairs 

 of trousers. We have suits for boys from 

 three years of age to eighteen years. Drop 

 in, when in town, and look them over.

Cimchided from page 3 

 weather they were driven indoors with 

 all the objectionable features it en- 

 tailed. The Principal preferred a re- 

 quest that equipment for heating and 

 preparing lunches be furnished. 



In the same lot scarcely fifty yards 

 distant is the new Amherst High School 

 building. It seemed like duplication of 

 equipment to purchase supplies for 

 these adjoining buildings when the 

 High School had an excellent domestic 

 science equipment available. The High 

 School noon recess ends at 12.05. After 

 they vacate the lunch room, the pupils 

 in the adjoining buildings are marched 

 across to the High School. Chairs and 

 tables are provided in the lunch room 

 and they are priviledged to purchase at 

 actual cost sandwiches, cocoa, soups or 

 anything on the bill of fare of the lunch 

 counter. This food is prepared by the 

 girls in the domestic science depart- 

 ment of the High School. The pupils 

 are required to remain seated quietly in 

 the lunch room until I2..30, thus insur- 

 ing adequate time for a proper luncheon. 

 A teacher is constantly in charge. In 

 order to gauge the exact amount of sup- 

 plies needed, the children are asked to 

 purchase checks at the morning recess 

 for the food they wish at the luncheon 

 an hour and a half later. This insures 

 the preparation of an adequate amount 

 but avoids preparing surplus food to be 

 wasted. It is needless to point out how 

 great an improvement this plan of pre- 

 pared, supervised and orderly luncheon 

 is over the old unsupervised method with 

 all the danger to health and to the de- 

 moralization it entailed. 



In the East St. school a four-room 

 building, oil stoves have been pro\'ided 

 and the work is carried out on the same 

 lines as the South Amherst building. 



The North Amherst building is new 

 with three new teachers. As soon as 

 the work is completely organized and 

 the teachers fully adjusted to their new 

 work, an attempt will be made to organ- 

 ize the school luncheons on the same 

 lines as the other schools.

 i Ford car now is the time to order it. 



These are war times, so if you want 

 I a Ford car, don't wait, place your 



order now. 



We follow the sale of every Ford car 

 with "After Service" that is efficient, 

 prompt, courteous and economical.

 to get time to raise three and one half 

 bushels of beans or nine bushels of po- 

 tatoes. And we ought to take hold of a 

 spraying campaign this year with as 

 much vim as we did in 1916. 



We already have the trees, most of 

 them are due to have a good crop this 

 year, and there is no way in which the 

 orchard man can contribute so much 

 towards "winning the war" as he can by 

 attending to the really essential matters 

 that will insure his apples being as near- 

 ly as possible all Grade A. And every 

 orchard man knows that no one opera- 

 tion will begin to compare in importance 

 with spraying.
