We were delighted to have with us last Wednesday, Mr. Parks, our County Superintendent of Educa tion, and Mr. Frank White of Troy. They visited each of the rooms and we hope they enjoyed being with us as much as we enjoyed having them. We always welcome visitors, es pecially the parents, when they want to know exactly what is go ing on over here and how their children are getting along. We hope we may have many more soon. PLAY TO BE GIVEN AT SCHOOL. A play, entitled, “The Kentucky Belle” will soon be given at the High School building for the bene fit of the Libraries of the High and Grammar schools. It is being coached by Miss Mc Cord and has for its actors mem bers of the Junior and Senior classes, and, believe it or not, this is one of the best plays that has ever been given. We hope that when the play is presented that a larger crowd will be present than ever before, as you will be helping your school as well as yourselves. AS WE LIKE IT. It seems as if one great big thought has hit all the Juniors at once, and we are fairly staggered by the momentousness of it. Yes, you’re right it’s this—just one more school term, just one more set of exams, just three more months digging, loafing, fearing and hoping, and we will be Seniors —barring accidents (mental and otherwise.) In fact, interested in the reac tion of his fellow class mates to this unbelievable truth, it has been discovered that when certain members of the present Junior Class reach that scholarly Utopia and attain the long awaited pres tige they will utilize it in the fol lowing manner: During the third period in Miss Corbin’s room, Betty Workman is going to assume the envied posi tion as a privileged second year short hand student; Jack Hendrix is going to get extravagant and bring his own pencil and paper— maybe. Some day Dan McGrath will be able to conjugate all the ir regular verbs without any stage whispers from the left hand cor ner of the class; James Dorn is not going to Troy every time; Ab Lyon is going to grow a mustache; Charlie Janidis or his assistant, “Seabreeze,” is going to devise some plan of dispose of the fol lowing visitors: Robert Wiggins, James Lyon, Dan McGrath, Leon ard Blackwell, and other famous characters: Sara Christian is go ing to seriously consider a partner ship offer of Charles Lindberg and Henry Ford; and last but not least Hettie McGrath is going to have an auction sale of second hand boys, slightly used but guaranteed to be in good condition with no parts missing and all heads form ing a perfect vacuum. I do for you? WELBOURNE SCHUMPERT. MR. BARFIELD SPEAKS. Mr. Barfield visited our school Friday, February 20, and spoke to us in chapel on the opportunities that are offered today that men of yesterday did not have. We must take advantage of these op portunities and strive to be like our first president, George Wash ington and the great Emancipator. Lincoln, whose birthdays come during this month. MABEL LYON. BEAUTIFICATION OF SCHOOL GROUND. Work is progressing rapidly on our school grounds. We wish to thank the people for their splendid co-operation and help in this splendid project, and we are sure the result will be pleasing to every one and especially to those of us who spend most of our time here. The remark was made not many weeks ago that beautiful surround ings inspire one to do better work. We hope the above statement will prove to be true to every student and teacher in this school. I am sure we are going to show our appreciation to those who have been instrumental in this beautifi cation, by working harder in the future than ever before. SUPPOSE.

Robinson Insurance Agency PHONE 66 McCormick NEW CONDITIONNS, NOT AD VERSE CONDITIONS, THE REAL SITUATION (From The Union Daily Times.) You hear men say: “Business is rotten.” You hear farmers say: “Farming has played out.” You hear bankers say: “The banking business has gone to pot.” You hear professional men say: “Well, times have changed, and the pro fessions now are crowded.’ You hear laborers saying: “Work is what I want, but I cannot get it.” What the business man really means is that business conducted as he has been accustomed to con duct it, is no longer satisfactory, nor profitable. What the farmer really means is that his old, out- of-date methods have played out, and will not now yield a profit. What the banker means is that a new order of banking has come to take the place of the loose, lax methods of the past, and he has not yet awakened to the fact. What the laborer means is that the particular kind of work he has been doing, yet never doing it well, has ceased to offer a job. What the professional man means is that he has slipped a cog and allowed others to outstrip him in the bat tle of life. There is more business, more farming, more money, more openings for labor in this country today than at any time after the World war. And that was war in flation for which we now have peacetime deflation and pay-up day. While we are demanding shorter hours, easier living, more comforts, more recreation, more pleasure, we overlook one import ant fact: These things should be obtained through strenuous effort. Things handed out afford little real satisfaction. Victory pur chased without striving is un worthy the name. It is when through self-denial, self-control and honest effort we win that we prize the winning. No man, no real man, can find joy in charity, nor comfort in possession handed down. To appreciate, we must win through striving. There is much foolish talk going on in the world. Foolish men are trying to build up a sort* of Utopian state in which everybody is happy and everybody possesses all the good things of life—money, leisure, com fort, luxuries. And not one of these things is of real value unless we have learned through showing the self-mastery that can use and not abuse such privileges. ooo LIQUID or TABLETS Cure Cold, Headaches, Fever 666 SALVE CURES BABY’S COLD Uncontrolled gullies and rain- wash have destroyed more farm land in the United States than the total arable area of Japan.
