Page Number Tfitift DRUGGISTS AND DOCTORS NEVER TALK Perp'c r 'ii?fering frQm slight .ailments feel free to tell thei r troubles f o * he druggist, because they know that he, like the doctor, never betrays their confidence. No one ever learns what ke knows about their physical condition. “Right in the beginning” is the time to begin the correc- t on cf an a latent. If you do not consider it sufficient for calling in the doctor, at least tell the druggist. If it is a case for the doctor, he will tell you to hunt one without delay. I- it is not a case for the doctor the druggist has the remedy that will relieve you. Just a few cents—that's a!l. Could anything be more simple for the ma ntenance of per fect health?

C., March 6.— Although the opponents of a restric- t’ve immigration policy have, during the present congress, introduced numerous measures to weaken the strength of the Immigration Act of 1924 on the other hand there are those who realizing the dangers to this country of a large alien popula tion urge a strict enforcement of the law and an extension of the quota 1 mit to immigrants of the Western Hemisphere. In speaking before the House Committee on Immigration recently Henry D. C. W&rd, of the In-migration Restriction League of Boston}, stressed the importance of checking the large number of immi grants from Mexico, which has con tinued to increase each year. In an swering those who base the'r advoca tion of unrestrict 'd immigration on a basis of the need of labor, Mr. Ward said: “We have a considerable amount of unemployment in the United States at the present time, which can be utilized. In Boston at the pres ent time,”, he continued, “the records show 18,000 unemployed, 25,000 in Philadelphia and I don’t know/ how many : n New York.” the musicians would play any selec tion called for and the calls were numerous. Some of the old favortes played wer' 1 : “Silver Threads Among the Gold,” “Red Wing,” “Over the Waves,” “Annie Laurie,” “Old Black Joe,” “Let Me Call You Sweetheart,” “Farewell to Thee,” “Turkey in the Straw” and others. Some of the most outstanding musicians were: Messrs. Will and Ed Graves, Mr. Tittle, Mrs. C.eighton and Miss Ernestine Graves. Besides these numbers we enjoyed two p’ano solos, “The Arkansas Traveler” and “Cathedral Echoes,” by Miss Bobo; a reading, “A Second Grade Boy’s Friday Afternoon Speech,” by Miss Robinson; a read ing, “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” by Catherine Bussey; and a vocal du^t, “Sing me to Sleep” by Miss Noiris and Miss Lyon. At the convention there were vis itors from every adjoining commun ity. The aud torium was full almost to overflowing and everyone seemed to be enjoying himself. During the ten rniimtes intermission the finance committee of the S. I. A. sold ice crea,m. The money raised this way and that realized from the door re ceipts will go to the treasury of the S. I. A. to be used for any needed school improvement. TENTH GRADE. CHAPEL PROGRAM FOR THE WEEK.

Grand Lodge Votes $10,000 For Memorial -txj- FRENCH STUDENTS WRITE LETTERS. Miss Norris surprised the first year French students in class Mon day by having them write letters in French. This was done in order that a fair conception could be had of what each individual pupil has re tained since the outset of school. Some were amazed at first and be gan to ask many quest’ons. but these soon settled down to accomplish their North Carol'na strawberry grow ers rid their land of parasitic nem atodes by using a rotation which would be feasible in other regions. Following strawberries, corn is planted with a nematode-resistant variety of cowpeas drilled in the rows; the corn is harvested, 4he cow- p^as are turned under, and winter oats are sown. In the spring the oats are plowed under or harvested, ai d corn and cowpeas are planted again. After this corn crop is har vested, and the cowpeas turned un der, the growers plant strawberries in the autumn and sow oats among them. The next spring the oafs aie harvested and the strawberries cul tivated and hoed. This system ach ieves three objects: it reduces the nematodes; it produces crops of corn; and it adds humus and fertil ity to the soil.
