LISTEN JUNIORS! The Junior class is beginning to realize that the end of school is drawing near. Soon we shall be seniors. Whilfe we have a little time let us stop a few minutes to think just what being a senior means. In the first place when we be come a senior it is time to put away childish things. No longer can we indulge in such amuse ments as throwing spit-balls or chalk or ^hooting wire staples. We must soon assume an air of dig nity in keeping with our respon sibilities. For to be a senior is a responsibility. On our shoulders will rest the student leadership of the school. We hope we shall not fail. , To be a senior will be lots of fun—or at least, we believe it will be. The seniors seem never to have to study! And then they seem to have such a good time planning for commencement. But we know that it will not be all fun and we shall do our best to do all that is expected of us in the best way possible. So come on, juniors, let’s make the best of all our opportunities as they come to us so that we shall be ready for the greater opportunities when they come to us. W. S. THE NEWEST AND BEST IN FMBTUFfS At this grocery you will find your favorite foodstuffs offered you in the newest and best forms.

BLEDSOE SPEAKS AT CHAPEL PERIOD. Reverend Bledsoe gave a most interesting talk, to the student body and faculty, at the regular chapel period. Wednesday morn ing, he left with us many beautiful thoughts, among which was that concerning the art of controlling the temper. Of course, as he stat ed. everyone should have some temper or he is practically no good, but, he is even more worthless if he has temper and lets it get the best of him. Therefore, everyone should use his temper to a certain extent, but always be sure that he can control it when necessary. E. B. THOUGHTS WHILE IN A STUDY PERIOD.

March 19.) The annual spring forecast ot precipitation and other conditions affecting especially crop prospects for 1930, usually made about this time by the Dutch Weather Prop het, must be in condensed form, he said yesterday, due to the fact that he has been a shut-in for six weeks on account of the accident that befell him when he broke his leg. Excessive rainfall for a number of years has ruined many crop prospects. The Dutch Weather Prophet says he doubts that within the past 100 years has the quantity of precipitation been exceeded, especially in 1929 and 1930. He does not remember anything of the kind occurring within 60 years to exceed it. However, Old Probabili ties is about as correct in his work as anyone and the quantity of rainfall since the drought of 1925 has been necessary for nature to bring abput normal conditions and supply the strata of water in the earth with their usual amount. No serious overflows in the riv ers will occur this year. Thus in 1930 rainfall will be much reduced as compared to last year. Precipitation will be season al for the majority of crops in the Southeast and the year will be the most favorable for agriculture gen erally in this respect since 1920. The Dutch Weather Prophet says he regrets that a forecast of the prospects for the fruit crop cannot be very definite. Two op posing elements enter this an alysis—one of which was unfavor able and being shut in, he has not been able to make a full observa tion so that he could be able to say that the other element was entirely favorable. However, th^ fruit crop is not entirely “out of the woods,” as this week will decide. The conditions refer especially to the peach crop, which was injured severely by the low temperatures early in March, yet no doubt not all of it was kill ed even then when the mercury dropped so low in an unfavorable period. The period of March 14-21 is more favorable for fruit than that period, however. Snow will no doubt occur this week in northern latitudes and any snow flurries or even any quantity—in this section will not be destructive of fruit. The late Easter this year—April 20—is not indicative of /sold weath er at that time. / . - (P. S.—A newspaper .man wno promptly called to/»ee me while T" - was a week in tiJ hospital re marked facetiously and very truly that in breaking my leg when I fell upon the ice I slipped up upon some of my own weather—one of the snows which my forecast of October, 1929, had indicated.—D.

Unfortunately, some of the fin est varieties are susceptible. This is especially true of Schley, per haps the finest quality nut grown in the South.

It can i be obtained free by application to i the Office of Information, Depart ment of Agriculture, Washington, n. c. A Great Discovery When Pasteur discovered, in 1352, that the infection of wounds was caused by malignant, bacteria, he per formed a service of inestitnable value to mo.nkind. Since then medical science has been producing better and better antiseptics, to kill these germs that may enter the smallest cut and give us diseases such as typhoid, tuberculosis and lockjaw. Now, all you have to do to be sure that these dreadful germs will not infect a wound, is to wash fhat wound, however small, thoroughly with Liquid Borozone, the modern antisep tic. You can get Liquid Borozone, in a size to fit your needs and purse, from STROMS’ DRUG STORE city in which to live? i 3. What is McCormick’s greatest draw back, if any? 4. If you were running the busi ness of McCormick what wduld you do to make it the city you would like it to be? The answering of these four questions by a hundred or more citizens of McCormick will answer the Question “What do the pponte who live in McCormick think about their community;” and you don’t know, there may be dozens of in terested parties asking that ques tion now. Here is a wav YOU can “Helo Build McCormick,” that can mean thousands of dollars to McCormick —and that means nothing less than money in your pocket. You CAN do this, and it will help morp than you realize. If you refuse or fail to do it. that will tell a i story that COULD cost a los of I m^nev. It costs only a two-cent scamp and very little effort—do that much for your community. Just address your answer to she Towm Doctor, 332 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago, and I will do the rest.
