We have received some "home-made verse'" from a valued contributor anid will use it the first opportunity. We aire una1iible to answer the riddle propounded by "A Farmer" this week, and suggest that he enlighten us. Query: If it will take 20,000 Ameri can soldiers to capture Villa, as Freddy Funston declares, how long will the European war last? We had an idea all along that Mr. McLaurin was warehouse commissioner and not insurance comllmi'isioner and assistant governor.

We wouldn't say that our good. frient Booker is "off his nut," but lie is ver) much mistaken' if he thinks Picken county doesn't have a field day for its children. Pickens was one of the pio neer counties in this work and doesn't arrange it as most of the other counties, because there is too much on the pro gram each year to crowd into one day. Instead there is one night for the girls' declamation contest, one night for the boys' orato-iical contest and one day for the field events. The girls' contest was held at Central last Friday night, the boys' contest will be held fat Easley next Friday night and the field clay ex ercises will be held at Easley Saturday of this week. It will not be amiss to call Editor 3ooker's attention here to the fact that the champion team of last year's Pick eis county field lay went to Columbia a few weeks later and literally 'clean ed up" the teams of forty-odd other schools, winning first place over teams from every section of the state. Oh, yes, we have school field day exercises, all right! There may be better or finer schools in other counties, but the prod ucts of the Pickens county schoolstake second place to none.
