must HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Olean Snepp pleased the students and teacners Thursday .1 hg by playing the following violin numbers: Schubert’s Serenade, Lasson’s Crescendo and Didla’s Souvenir. Music for the opening exercise Friday morning was furniJ.»ed by Wauneta Beery who sang the following selections: The Slumber Boat, My Lady es Dreams- and If Dreams Come True. Miss Hamman used the opening exercise period Monday and Tuesday mornings in giving a ‘■spelling” o test to the High school students. This test, which has been given in a number of high schools in tine state, consists of one hundred words must commonly misspelled called "Jones’ 100 Demons." It is hoped that some interest in Spelling may be aroused- so that this statement may not be applied to a poor speller “He spells like a 'high school graduate." The papers have been graded; and results tabulated as follows: j Seniors 95.08! Juniors 94.17 Sophomores 95.00' Freshmen 88.22' Bovs 90.85 j Girls . 94.5i| Average for school 92.82!

After reading Psalm 119 in parti he spoke of David,. his preparation for his work and this interest in it. He closed by showing us how we could make a bractJcal application of David’s principles in our school life. Perhaps it is not generally known, hut nevertheless ’Hr true, that this school boasts t’ * distinction of having some poehs (and poetesses) among the students. The selections given below are proof of the same: On Hamlet’s Thin!

His father h?td a number of dribs of corn. The Federal s, who were mounted, filled tKeir sacks and *ho32* who auid no seeks pulled off tr.eir drawers and filled them vith corn until it was all gone. Elis father never received a u-nt or the corn. Ho t' is the parting of the ways for the South to Fayetteviue, to Huntsvil’e, to Gunters ville, to Gadson, to Rome. This way you cross Sand Mountain, which is 24 miles across, hhe ( ?her route takes you through Tultahomc to Winchester across Mount Eagle to ChMtanooga, tc Rome. We went byway across Sand Mountain.

We camped here beside “,he city hall and public library for thirty-six hours and while here we did considerable nosing around. We got our eyes and ears plumb full. Will give you a description of Rome and her people m the near future. October 22, we broke camp at Rome, drove miles and came to Cartersville, the oM home of Sam Jones, of which we will have more to say later on. We next came to Kennesaw mountain. Here was fought a very severe battle in 1864. I have a union and a confederate bullet, picked up on this field of battle. We next drove through Meriette and then to Atlanta. From here Sherman started his army for the sea We next hit Maron and camped in the fair ground. 'Die Bibb countv fair was on.

S. in a game played in the Syracuse gymnasium Friday evening. The visitors seemed to have much difficulty in hitting H’-e basket, having several free throws and a -few from the field but were unable to count any. The score at the end of the first half was 16 to 0 in favor of the locals. The Syracuse boys made some “slick” ones, but missed too many good ones. Connolly made half the points for Syracuse and Masters three. Darr helped Bachman keep the game air-tight and also counted three baskets. The final score was 42 to 0. Syracuse Bias “broken the ice” now by winning their first game of the season and we all hope that they will keep it up. Reported by M.

PURDUE JERSEY SETS HIGH PRODUCTION MARK The third yearly record of 700 pounds of butterfat or over has been finished within the year in Purdue University Dairy Heid w-hen the pure bred Jersey, Purdue’s Sayda 304643 recently completed a yearly record of 13,927.9 pounds of milk and> 722.12 pounds of fat. Ibis cow is one of the good Jerseys in the Pundue herd, and while this is the largest production she has ever made, she has an average production for the last tttxree years of 11,430.9 pounds of milk and 595 pounds of fat. A very remarkable thing in connection with this record is the fact that Purdue’s Sayda was ten years old at the time of finishing this record, and while many dairy farmers feel that their cows have lost most of their usefulness at this age, it is here demonstrated that care and good breeding make ’possible continued high production. This oow-’s sire was by the Imported Jap, one of the best Jerb sey bulls ever brought to America. Purdue’s Sayda has three sisters in the Pundue herd, all if which are entered in the Reg' ister of Merit. These and ot'iei x>ws in the herd are used primarily for instructional and demonstration purposes in the dairy class work. During this record this cow was fed good quality alfalfa hay, corn silnge and a grain ration made up of ground com, ground vits, bran, linseed oilmeal, soybean. oilmeal and cottonseed meal. She also received some soaked Beet pulp. She is not a largtp qow, but had a good appetite and was a consistent producer. The offspring of such cows as Purdue’s Sayda are the kind of stock that will put dairy production on a better paying basis in Indiana. o : TO LOCATE NEAR MENTONE John Stiffler of Petersfield, Manitoba, Canada, is busy this beautiful fajl feather at his farm near Mentone remodeling buildings and building silos prenanatory to moving here from Canada as soon as he can get things in order.

; SOME THINGS TO : THINK ABOUT I I ' Review of Things by the Editor i As He Sees Them on . the Surface, A popular belief that what is i commonly designated as the “Indian Summer” is a definite pen--1 iod* recurring regularly every au 1 tumn, received a rude jar the other day when officials of the Weaither Bureau in Washington derived that it is not a fixed season in the calendar at all As a matter of fact, it is simply a term applied to a spell of mild fall weather following several unseasonably cold days—the latter constituting what is known in the United States as the “Squaw Winter”—and it varies in date and duration- In other wands, the phnase jusjt applies to a type of warm, calm hazy weather, likely to prevail! at any time in the autumn or early winter. In the small towns, and in the country, there are thousands of great men who are never heard of fifty miles from their homes. Take a ride through a farming community and when you have a big house pointed out to you, the owner of which successfully farms several hundred acres of land, you ‘have found an unknown great man. / And you may ride from one end of the country to the otheri and you will never be long out of sight of the of unknown great men of this description. There are a dozen, or a hundred, successful, useful worthy men to every man who really is poor. Every good mechanic on his way to-become foreman, perintendent or employer, is a successful man. We are a nation of rich men; that is the reason our country has such a prominent place under the sun. Advertising js the weapon with which the mail-order houses conduct their warfare on the retail merchants of the small cities and towns. They dn their advertising through their own catalogues and other advertising media. They spend thousands of dollars for advertising and judging from the financial reports of the big mail-order houses in Chicago, advertising must be a pretty paying proposition from their point of view at least. There is an old saying that you never miss the water till thci well runs dry. The same holds good with your home town paper—you never know how much good it is doing in the community until it has passed away. The moral is—pay up your subscription, send in your news itemsv have your job printing done at home and your hbme town paper will live forever. We heard the other day of a young fellow who came home one night looking like he was made up a clown in the Hallowe’en parade, face all white arid lips all red. We found out later the boy had been on a petting party with a Syracuse flapper. Dr. William Mayo, the noted surgeon of Rochester, Minn., asserts that there are 40,000 unqualified surgeons in the United States. He didn’t discuss the qualification for collecting a sufficient fee. ’ A Fort Wayne man, one of the latest victims, says there are three things in this world that always come unexpectedly, and They are triplets. Question: What is the difference between a pauper and a millionaire? We say. na million dollars. The average man m better at confessing the mistakes of other people than he is ait acknowledging his own. Lamb with green peas suite some men, but the bucket shop prefers lamb with, greenbacks. One way to make a dollar go farther is to invest it in gasoline. Do your Christmas shopping early..
