JUDGING CONTEST
REP RESENTATI VES
Last Friday Mr. Buttram left here
about 7:30 o’clock in the morning to
take W. P. Parks, Jr., Joe Price and
Chailes Bussey to Aiken to enter a
judging contest. These boys were
-elected from the agriculture classes
to represent the school at the dis
trict contest. The winners there will
enter the state contest. At Aiken the
boys judged two types of dairy cat-
tie, hogs, mules, chickens, potatoes,
and oats.
Mr. Holly, the owner of the dairy
farm where the contest was held,
quite generously served the visitors
ice cream and lemonade made on the
farm. The boys had a good time
and found the contest very bene
ficial. They got back home about
six o’clock—just in time to enjoy
the moonlight picnic.

MOONLIGHT PICNIC.
The agriculture classes and their
friends enjoyed a moonlight picnic
at. Price’s Mill last Friday evening.
Each boy invited a girl and each
couple brought a well filled basket
of eatables. Supper was spread on a
table prepared near the creek and
nothing short of “a bountiful feast”
could characterize it. Every person
present found his special dish or
dishes before him and ate to his
heart’s content. After supper the
picnicers enjoyed proms in the moon
light. All members of the faculty
were invited. Mr. and Mrs. W. P.
Parks and Mr. and Mrs. Price were
chaperones.
This drug store is in charge of an expert pharm

THE ART EXHIBIT.
The Elson Art Exhibit was on dis
play at Washington last Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. The pictures
were ’beautiful and no one who saw
them could fail to get an inspira
tion and leave the building a bit
more educated, a bit more cultured
than he entered. He could not help
registering somewhere among his
plans a resolution to some day hang
upon the walls of his home at least
a few copies of the great master
pieces of art.
On Wednesday the pupils of one
school saw the pictures; on Thurs
day the members of the S. I. A.
and all others interested saw them;
and o n Friday the schools of Mc
Cormick and Plum Branch were
invited.
A number of pupils and the teach
ers from Plum Branch came down
to the exhibit. We wish to express
our appreciation to Mr. Holroyd and
his helpers for the interest they
showed and the efforts they made to
get their pupils here.
The money cleared on the exhibit
will be used to purchase pictures for
the school from the Elson Art Pub
lication Company.
The prize picture for the largest
sale of tickets was won by the pu
pils cf Miss McKinney’s room, the
first and second grades.
The S. I. A. has offered an Elson
Print—copy of a masterpiece of art
—as a prize to the Washington pu
pil who writes the best paper on
“What the Art Exhibit Meant to
Me.”
Atlanta trade organization is
i timely.
The old Muscle Shoals nitrate
piant is wholly antequated, and of
no practicable service now in the
manufacture of fertilizer, or even of
the single ingredient of nitrate. The
enactment of such a measure as
pending would not merely be class
legislation, and paternalistic as
again throwing the government into
competitive businens, with tremend
ous annual loses that would have to
be met by taxation, but it would in
volve aa enormous initial expense
in converting an archaic plant into a
modern one, without giving in return
any specific benefits to the farmers.
There has beep a total of $140,000,-
000 spent on Muscle Shoals. It is
deteiiorating, and all because a
group of the members of congress
have .used it as an instrument with
which to foci and brow-beat the far
mer voters of the agrarian states.
Muscle Shoals is primarily a hy
dro-electric development of almost
incalculable value in the building of
industry, especially in the southeast,
from the waters of which it has been
made possible, and to which section
it belongs.
The government has no mere right
to enter the business of power mak
ing and selling than it has fertilizer
making and selling, but congress has
repeatedly had before it good and
satisfactory proposals for both the
purchase and the lease of the plant
for power purposes, with all cf the
safeguards as to utilization in event
of war. Though members who have
held back definite action know full
well that the plant is not suitable for
fertilizer manufacturing on an eco
nomic scale, but have kept the issue
alive for political purposes only.
There is too much tendency, among
groups of political radicals, toward
“government ownership and opera
tion” of utilities and private busi
nesses. It is contrary to the insti
tutions of our system c*f government.
And if not, the nation’s sad exper
iences in operating railroads and
ships ought to be lessons convincing
ly leartied.—Atlanta Constitution.

REV. HODGENS ADDRESSES
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
On Wednesday, May 9th, during
assembly period, Rev. Hodgens of
Plum Branch addressed the High
school students.
Mr. Hodgens chose as hn subject
“We are all laborers together with
God.” He pointed out to the student
bedy that they are co-workers with
each other in trying to reach the
same goal, “God’s Kingdom.” He
also made .it plain that they are
workers with God, even though they
do not realize it, because they are
preparing themselves for work
which will make the world a better
place in which to live.
Mr. Hodgens stressed the import
ance of seniors to accept God as
their personal saviour before trying
to decide their life’s work. This ad
dress was very appropriate for the
occasion because there are several
high school students who are fin
ishing this term.

imately equivalent to the total pop
ulation of the world, of which onl?7
about 40 per cent, including women,
are capable cf becoming burdext

“There are more than 250,OOC
miles of main line of steam raiiroa
in the United States. China, with axi
area one-third greater, excluding Al
aska and outlying areas, has lesrt
than 7,000 miles of steam road.
“A vast amount of capital ha**

“American railroads, edmpri f
35 per cent of the world’s mileage^

“The railroads contribute large
sums ia taxes in town, county, city,,

MAY DAY. '
The May Day Fete held last
Thursday afternoon on the campus
was a lovely success. While Miss
Bobo played “Humoresque” on the
piano, the little flower girls, Eliza
beth Osborne, who wore a blue dress,
and Doris Bennett, who wore a yel
low dress, scattered rose petals in
the path of the queen. These were
followed by four Merry May Dancers
wearing sliver costumes. These were
Edith Robertson, Geneva Wood,
Martha Hazel Bailey, and Louise
Mallet.
When they had taken their places
near the throne against a back
ground of green shrubbery, the at
tendants of the May Queen came.
They wore organdie dresses of pastel
shades and carried bouquets of roses.
The attendants were Margaret Rtb-
ertson, Mary Frances Drennan,
Josephine Parks, Alice Bunch,
’"’-I'flpa 55inrv*y. Luci’lc Parks.
Following them, came the maid ox
honor, Ruth Cartledge, wearing blue
and carrying the shining crown
which she placed upon the head of i Mrs. Marshall.
the Queen, Evelyn Bussey.
The queen and her maid of honor
were chosen by the voting system
from the high school pupils. The
queen wore white and sat upon a
white throne. She was immediately
preceded by Evelyn Stone, the her
ald, who wore a dress of gold.
When the queen and her attend
ants had gathered about the throne,
the May Pole Dancers, wearing pink
and white costumes, danced out be
fore the queen, bow*ed and did the
old yet ever pretty May Pole Dance,
then, after another courtesy to the
queen, danced away again. The May
Pole dancers were: Dorothy Osborne.
