* I- ' v> MAY DAY FETE OBSERVED AT PROSPERITY HIGH SCHOOL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 queen. Rebecca Harmon, who wor this distinction by having attained ^ the highest grade in her class. She was a miniature queen to all appearances, from her golden sceptre to her long shimmering train and right royal in her manner and actions. Her maid of honor, Ethel Shealy, all smiling in gauzy chiffons, followed close in her wake! The other girls of the seventh grade, a live symphony in white organdy, acted as maids. The sixth grade then surrounded the queen after she was seated upon the throne with a r daisy chain. Dr. J. S. Wheeler, chairman of the board of trustees, was accorded the honor of placing , the crown upon the queen*"s brow. ' After this was done all the crea* tures from dale and hill, overseas and everywhere, joined in a joyous, ringing chorus "All Hail Her." , As the music died away, their May day HnfiM having been well done, the ! , merrymakers wended their way home amid the handclappings of the assembled crowd and the congratulations of their friends. 1* * r After witnessing so well trained ^ and interesting a spectacle it is quite natural to inquire to whom the Wgt honor is due for the finished result. Too much can not be said of- Mrs. Piv?imo qti/1 Mrs Onnfilphmim. the W untiring members of the music fac ulty. They toiled early and late, and theirs is a crown of grateful praise from pupils and parents. On Sunday the baccalaureate serk mon was delivered by Dr. H. A. McWCuHough, pastor of St. Paul's, Columbia. His text was from Daniel t !3:13:v"Thou shalt stand in thy lot at the end of the days." His sermon was well thought out, well delivered and well received. His admonitions to the graduat ing- class were full of good advice, advice that would enable them to . stand more worthily at the end of V their days. Grace church was ful> and overflowing. Dr. McCullough is $ne of Prosperity's sons whom she delights to honor whenever she has the privilege of hearing him.

Plants very commonly depend f?*r their cross-fertilization upon insects, which carry pollen from flower to flower. But, of course, the matlngs thus accomplished are purely haphazard. The plant breeder to get worth while < WAottlfM mnaf A! nnf 4-KA HA/1 ic^uiia uuifi sncwi mc UMUUVU ents and control the character of the offspring by,* making sure that a particular flower receives only certain pollen, the latter being the male element. He accomplishes this by artificial impregnation?a matter easy enough, especially in a greenhouse. The pollen may be carried in a watchglass and applied with the tip of a little brush. There are. however, other methods. To make the flower safe against other and accidental pollens, it Is inclosed in a tiny bag of cheesecloth. Then the breeder is sure of ins parents, and it remains only to be seen how the ^spring will turn out. It may prove'a valuable new variety. Suppose that a fruit is concerned. The latter, to prevent injury by insects or birds, may be further protected by a cheesecloth bag big enough to allow for its full development. Thus it grows to ripe perfection and, when it Is ready to be picked. Judgment can be given as to its value. f / SUNLIGHT IS FOE OF DEATH The More a Man or Woman Can Get of it, the Healthier arid Happier Will They Be. One time we were tramping the forests of North Carolina in search of game. When none came and we wished to return to camp we discovered we were lost?completely "turned around." Then we recalled reading one time, "Light is life, moss always grows on the north side of the tree trunk?far-. thest removed from the rays of the sun." We set about looking for moss, and sure enough it was on the same side of each tree. With this as a guide it didn't take us long to find our way back to the place whence ( we cam?. But the point we wish to make is that the mo*s would not have been on the north side of the tree if it hadn't been impossible for the sun's rays to reach if. Moss thrives on death. And death is always found in the wake of the sunless path. The more sunlight there * *? rrmi 1 i TTO 'Thp is in your xne tut* muic jvu ?<v. freer you are from moss and the things that thrive without light, the better man or woman you are.

I Hisffric Printing Pret* A printing press , with a remarkable history is preserved by the University., of Oregon. On it was printed, 73 years ago. the first number of the Oregon Spectator at Oregon City. This was the first press to be used west of the Rocky mountains/ and it was trans* ported to Oregon City by Gearge Aberoathy, the first provisional gov- j ernor of Oregon. The old Washington j hand press was in use in Oregon City j until the late sixties, when It was le- j moved to Eugene. While being trans- ' ported up the Willamette river the 1 press was shipwrecked, but after a j time it was raised and continued its journey.

The. light of the moon is due entire* ly to reflection of the light of the sun, j and the different phases of the moon ' to its position in relation to the position of the earth and the sun. When there is a new moon, half of the surface of the moon is illuminated, but the greater portion is turned from the earth and only a delicate crescent appears to us.
