the whole performance from start to
finish was original and very entertaining.

Miss Theopa Norman introduced the
class to audience in her inimitable
I manner and had sprightly, witty remarks
about each member of the class
, ?the one, lone boy coming in for
I more than his share of "jabs."
The class history was read by Miss
I Elizabeth Matheson; the poem by Miss
Nelle Pollard, the prophecy by Miss
j Louise Duke and all three of these papers
were different from the ordinary
, commencement production and were
delightful.
Miss Leonora Arthur introduced an
innovation in giving "Twinkles" and
Miss Estelle Webber read the class
; will and each article willed the bene|
ficiaries was exhibited to the audi,
ence.
The class imitated the faculty an<J
go clever were t.he that, the
! teachers were recogpi??L jJVfltt tofpw*
j the names were called, many of the
thrusts were daring1 but as one of the
girls said, "Oh, well, we are leaving
and they cannot give us demerits."
The class gave a French play which
the French teacher said was fine, but
the majority of the audience only
knew two words, "tres bien."

FORD'S OFFER
GETS A BOOST
Washington, May 25.?In a formal
opinion transmitted by Secretary
Weeks to the house military committee
today, Attorney General Oaugherty
held the contracts negotiated between
the war department, the AlaLama
Power company and the Air Nitrates
corporation to be "invalid" with
respect to thP provisions which, off!
ciais 01 tho two concerns claimed,
gave them exclusive rights to purchase
the Gorgas, Ala., steam power
plant and nitrate plant No. 2 at Muscle
Shoals.
The opinion was placed before the
committee by Chairman| Kahn for
study in connection with the investigation
it is making of Henry Ford's?
offer to purchase and leane the Muscle
Shoals project.
Committee members advocating acceptance
of the Ford proposal by congress
expressed gratification at the
position taken by the nttorney general
and some declared the chief obstruction
to their labors had been removed
by the opinion.
No action was taken by the committee.
After an hour's study of the
document in executive session the
committees adjourned until tomorrow
when it was predicted the way would
be cleared for early action.
Officials of the nitrate corporation
and the power company appearing before
the committee had made it plain
that they expected the government to
meet the obligations imposed by itscontract
and announced that in event
the government failed to do so, court
action would be instituted to compel
compliance.
Their testimony was accepted by
some committeemen as presenting a
difficult problem, which they would
have to solve before the Ford offer
could be reported unless it was modified
so as to eliminate the nitrate
plant, which he proposed to purchase,
and the Gorgas steam plant, for which
clear title was asked.
The opinion, in effect, substantiated
the opinion already given by the
acting judge advocate general and
made no mention of the "moral obligation"
which General Williams and
other ordnance officers declared rested
upon the government.

Laurens Man is Done
With Boll Weevils
Dublin, Ga., May 24.?One farmer
in Laurens County, A. T. Cobb, is
firmly convinced that truck crops will
pay better than cotton under boll weevil
conditions. He has just had returns
from his first car of cabbage
for the season and expects to ship an<
ther very shortly.
"You can't tell me," he argues, "that
cabbage producing from 100 to 150
crates per acre and selling at from
$1.50 to $2 per crate, will not pay
better than cotton grown under boll
weevil conditions."
Mr. Cobb has seven acres in cabbage
and expects to clear at least $50
per acre off the field. He also has
eight acres in snap beans now bearing,
19 acres in cucumbers, 35 acres
in watermelons and 25 acres in cantaloupes.
He has had satisfactory results
from his truck crops so far and
feels that they are going to pay him

spite of the boll weevil.

WARD REARRESTED I
AT WHITE PLAINS
White Plains, N. Y., May 2.r>.?Wal- j
ter S. Ward, millionaire banker's son,
today was rearrested on a charge that |
he killed Clarence Peters of Haverhill
Mass., an ex-army man, near the Kensico
reservoir nearly two weeks ago.
Ward's rearrest followed issuance
of an order by Supreme Court Justice'
Seeger today at the request of 1 >>strict
Attorney Weeks. Mr. Weeks
asked the order of rearrest after tellng
the court that he had discovered
discrepancies between the details of
the killing as told by Ward and those j
unearthed by county officials.
The district attorney said that he!
did not believe the bail of $10,000 on
which Ward had been released was'
sufficient. Justice Secger immediately!
issued the rearrest order. He also!
cancelled the $10,000 bail.
Some hours later Sheriff" Werner re-!
turned to the court house with Ward !
and one of his attorneys. The party
immediately retired to the sheriff's
office \s here they wmt into an executive
conference.
District Attorney Weeks said that
Ward would not be given an opportunity
to again furnish bail at this
time, but that he would be held until
some legal action was taken in court'
Latest developments have aroused the
question as to how long Ward had,
been acquainted with Peters before i
the killing.
The Peters family in Haverhill,!
it c -i_: a- i 1 ? "
muss., ciaims 10 nave a postcard irom
young: Peters from South Carolina
dated early in May. Peters was rejected
by the marine corps May 11. according
to government reports. Allowing
for the shortest possible time
Peters could not have reached New
York before May 1.1. and he went on
his death ride on the night of Mayj
15. The blackmail plot had been go-1
ing on for six weeks, according to j
Ward's story.
The statement of police from sur-|
rounding towns that Peters was seen
on Ward Baking company trucks several
times before his death was made
known to the authorities here and
would indicate that Peters was in
Ward's vicinity for some time before
the killing occurred.
Investigators employed by the
Peseta family have notified the author'-klflfe
Rlw tftatUlfiy. ?re trying to run
to earth the reports that Ward mav
have known Peters in Boston, which
would date the acquaintanceship back [
of the time that the dead sailor tried
to enlist in the marines.
Sheritf George Werner says he* has:
the gun used by Ward.
"I can produce Ward's gun when
it is needed," said the sheriff, "and i?
will show that more than one shot was
fired."
"How about Peter.?' gun?" he was
asked.
"I can't say anything about that,"
he replied.
Althought the sheriff says he does
not hold the discharged shells from
the eight bullets said to have been
fired in the fight near the Kensico res-1
orvoir, he is sure they are in safe ens - j
tody and will b > produced when neees j
sary. State police found only one near I
the scene of the gun fight describe;!
by Ward.
The sheriff also displayed the gar-;
meats found on Peters and showed!
that a bullet had pierced the vest and |
shirt in front and passed through the!
coat, vest and shirt :n the back. This)
indicated, he said, that Peters must i
have had his coat open when the shot'
that killed him was fired.
Th0 entrance of investigators for
the Peters family has added to the!
tension here and complicated a mys
terious situation.
The authorities' attitude toward the
blackmail plot story and other portions
of Ward's confession is typified
in District Attorney Week's declaration
that there is no limit to the
length he will go to clear up the mystery
of the killing,and its causes.

The revival services at Bethel Meth-j
odist church continues to grow in in-'

attend each service and the choir is
putting out some sweet music. These
services will continue through Sunday,
