PLAY TO BE PRESENTED AT
McCORMICK THURSDAY
EVENING, MARCH 15TH.
Really you can’t afford to miss
seeing “Come Out of the Kitchen,”
the play to be presented at McCor
mick High School Thursday evening,
at 8 o’clock. Undoubtedly it is one
of the best entertainments that will
be in McCormick this year. The play
itself is very clever. There is just
enough humor! just enough pathos,
and just enbugh love to carry it
straight to your heart.
Do you know any match making
mother? The Mrs. Faulkner of the
play is a perfect example. Have
you ever chuckled over the sight of
an old bachelor smitten with the
charms of a pretty girl? Poor Mrs.
Tucker suffers from the pangs of
love. Are you fond of pepper and
ginger? You’ll be fond of Bess. Like
wit and humor? You’ll like Charlie.
Before the play is half over you’ll
agree with Olivia that Paul is a dar
ling. Dor you remember your old,
colored mammy? Mandy’s love for
her “LPl /Wttute Lady Baby” and her
red stockings are symbolical of her
tribe. Were you ever perfectly crazy
■ibout a girl and she didn’t love you ?
^hen you’ll sympathize with Randy
Week'. True love never run'
smoothly. Neither does Leffert’s anc
Co:a’s. Is there a bit of Irish per
haps in one corner cf ve heart? Then
you’ll love Jomi-Ellen. EJ^ you
dream of dashing heroes or of being
one? Burton Crane is that charming
that if you’re fememne, you’ll envy
the heroine; and if you’re masculine
you’ll jot down notes on your cuf:
as to how he does it.
The songs, the steps, the costumes
of the chorus are all new and at
tractive. The cast and choruses are
fortunate in having Miss Harris to
direct costuming. Miss Ramsey has
excellent judgment and a sure sense
of how to secure proper stage ef
fects. With her “all star” cast she
has produced a play you simply mus
haa
alternate.

NEK DEVELOPMENT
THE four-cylinder engine in the
new Ford represents a new develop
ment in modern automobile engineer
ing. It is unique in design and per
formance because it develops 40-
brake-horse-power at only 2200 revo
lutions per minute.
THIS means you can do 55 to 65
miles an hour in the new Ford and yet
you do not have a high-speed motor.
THE low r. p. m., or revolution
speed, also means greater efficiency
*
and longer life because the lower the
speed of your engine, the less the wear
on its parts.

ited the school and lectured to the
boys who were eligible for C tizer.
Military training.
He explained the nature of the
training, that it was an unusual op
portunity for any boy. He also sta^d
that the expenses were pa ; d by the
government and further stated the |
manner in which an applicaVor
should be made.

This is an extra expense to the ■
government. However, they feel that
this is a wise plan in that the boys j
will be familiar with Military activ-1
ities in case war broke out again 1
which would enable them to be offi- 1
cers instead of privates.

TOP-SOILING SCHOOL GROUND.
The school grounds were very mud
dy after each rain. And the pup : ls,
brought lots of mud in the building I
on their feet. This was doing dam
age to the building and was endang
ering the health of the children of
the school.
The P.-T. A. wishing to improve
the grounds set aside the week of
February 27, to March 3, for the
purpose of leveling and top-s<5iling
the grounds. The Agriculture boys
brought four teams, and spent
Thursday, March 1st, hauling top
soil. Thirty-one loads of soil were
hauled. This was spread on the
walks and around the doors where it
is necessary for the children to walk
and line up for exercises or to march
into the build'ng. Although a lot of
improvement was madei. there is need
for an additional hundred loads. The
>oys of the agriculture class are
planning to bring teams and spend
another day in the same way.
If enough teams can be secured
the most of this greatly needed work
can be finished. If we can get the
topsoil on the yard the agriculture
class will spread it.

PLUM BRANCH
SCHOOL NEWS
The Excelsir Literary Society of
Plum Branch School held its first
meeting Friday afternoon, March 2
in the school auditorium.
The program opened with the roll
call, eveiy one answering with a
famous quotation.
The program was a study of Long
fellow and his works.
The Essay on “Longfellow the
man,” by Virginia Strom was es
pecially good. The “Village Black
Smith,” was recited nicely by Geneva
Ridlehoover. There were other reci-
tat ons by Sarah Bracknell, Edward
Hodgens and Neil Ridlehovoer.
Farm Outlook In Brief
Annie Mae Langley gave a help

CLEMSON COLLEGE, March 10.
—“More than one crop” is surely be
coming the trend among South Car
olina farmers^ slowly in some sec
tions, more rafiidly in others. In the
Coastal Plains half of the state far
mers are specializing in tobacco, as
paragus, various truck crops, hogs,
poultry, etc. In Piedmont territory,
fruit crops, dairying, truck for local
markets, poultry, feed crops, etc. are
rece ving more attention. Hence the
decided interest much more notice
able than formerly, in pfossibilities
and prospects regarding farm pro
ducts other than cotton.
To meet this interest “The Agri
cultural Outlook for S. C. in 1928”
was prepared by the Extension Ser
vice. In greatly condensed state
ment below are the principal views
set forth in The Outlook.
Hogs—The hog-corn rat e improv
ing; may expect higher prices in
1928 and 1929,
Sheep—Spring advanced in lamb
prices not likely to be as marked as
usual. Better grade of lambs should
be produced.
Wool—Prices likely to advance.
Cattle—Beef cattle expected to
bring good prices during next several
years. May be difficult to buy
feeders at reasonable price.
Mules—Production falling below
demand. Wise to replace now old
mules with younger ones before

The program as a whole was very
good.
After the program, Mr. Wilkes, the
Methodist preacher, gave a veiy in
teresting talk on, “Learning to Mem
orize.”
We were very glad to have the vis
itors, Minnie Pearle Strother, and
Lillian Sanders; we also hope that
they enjoyed the program a n d would
be glad to have them visit again. The
society will hold its regular meeting
aga n, March 16, Friday evening. The
program is to be a humorous one,
then let us hope every one will be
prepared to laugh.

Dairying—(Since South Carolina
imports $10,000,000 woith of dairy
products yearly, expansion in dairy
ing is advisable if necessary feed
crops are grown. With fewer milk
cows than farms in the state there is
need to increase home dairying to
meet table demands and reduce gio-
cery bills.
Poultry—Since South Carolina im
ports much poultry and eggs still,
there is ample opportunity for pro

Corn—Profitable production de

oats can be grown at lower cost per

Small Grain—Grow sufficient for

Apples—Can be planted on com
