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.

* 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.

ed since that date received this al- \
; lowance of 5 cents per mile in their
final pay. Men discharged prior to j

which would eliminate the possibilityj

HOW PLANTS ARE "MATED"
Breeders Today Able to Control With
Much Definlteness the Char*
acter of the Offspring.
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.

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

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. For nearly half a century it j
was in use at Eugene, where it was
presented to the state university. The \
University of Washington at Seattle
also has a famous old handpress, j
Which was used in 1847 to print the t
California Star, the first paper in San "
Francisco, and later was used In
nrintine the first number of the Port- \
land Oregonian In 1850, and the first (
paper in Seattle in 1863.

Light From the Moon.
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. At the first quarter, half

toward us, and at the fifteenth day
the moon reaches a point in the heavens
directly opposite to that which the j
sun occupies. She is then in opposi?'|
tion, and the whole of the illuminated j
surface is turned toward us, and we i
have a full moon. From opposition
the moon passes on in Jier orbit, grad- j
ually decreasing in size, or rather less j
and less of the illuminated part being j
turned toward the earth.
