But mother says: "The war with Spain ' Was fought in '98? The year you all had chicken pox, Exceptin' little Kate. "That year, of course, the Spanish ships Were sunk in Cuba's channels; 'Twas summer, for I'd put away You children's uannels. v "The Boer was in Africa? That was a dreadful thing!? Began in '99, I know, Jack broke his arm that spring. Twas nineteenfour, and winter, too, When Japs and Russians fought, You almost had pneumonia tnen From that bad cold you caught;." There's six of us, and we're mixed up With hist'ry just that way, Sometimes it's measles, croup or mumps, But there's no date that ever stumps My mother, night or day! ?C. Leo, in St. Nicholas. WOULD LEND CATTLE MEN $100,000,000 Chicago, April 1.?Legislation di recting the secretary of the treasury to .'turn over $100,000,000 of thej profits of the Federal Reserve Bankl to Federal Land Banks to be loaned' by the latter institutions on stock; oftttle for the purpose of assisting cattle producers has been recom mended as a part of the Congres sional program by W. P. G. Harding governor of the Federal Reserve tsanK, accoroing 10 a swn,ciucin> w day by Everett C. Brown, president of the National Livestock Ex change.

" Consumers also should receive a benefit from the increase in production thus made possible, the statement declared, adding: "This plan for adequately financ ing livestock production follows a suggestion of M.

Will the citizens of Abbeville fail us now in this new undertaking? A e new High School is an opportunity f that offers advancement, education- ( ally ^nd morally. Who will benefit ( from it? ou, the citizens of Abbeville. 1 More important still will be the in- 1 creased educational facilities offered \ your sons and daughters. Our buil^- < ing hardly holds the pupils enrolled < now. Each year there has been a j greater increase in the number of pu- ] pils. What will it be next year? i Where shall we put them all? Both of ] our auditoriums have long since been cut into class rooms in. order that we < might have aplace for every child. ] The physics room is^now being used j as a class room. ' i Besides not having enough class ] rooms, we have not an auditorium 1 now that we are using it for some thing else. An auditorium is some- ' thing that every school should haye and something that the Abbeville I High school has not. Whenever stang ers visit our school they always criti | cise us for npt having an auditorium. Let us show them what Abbeville can do?that she can have a high School I as good or better than that of any other town. After graduating from our school we have enough units but we are so severely criticized for not having an auditorium and for being so badly overcrowded that we hardly get full credit for our work, How can we remedy this? Simply by having a new building with all modern high school nniiinmont TViinff wVint a npw hllilri ing with manual training, a library, auditorium,a gymnasium would mean ] to us. I am sure that it would attract both girls and boys who had not in- j tended to finish. High School, besides j holding a charm for those faithful , | ones who would stay on any way. ] So let's all get the spirit and go 1 whole-soul into the moveemnt. When 1 we get the teachers, pupils and par- i ents working under the impulse, noth- i ing short of wonders can be expect- i ed. The expression "Opportunity ? knocks once at every door" can be ap- i plied here. An opportunity for one of 1 the most needed things has come to \ Abbeville. Will she take advantage of c this opportunity of becoming one of i the leading High school towns or will c she live to regret the great things I which might've been.?A. Faulkner.
