MUSICAL COMEDY TO BE GIVEN TUES. Mr. and Mrs. Polly Tickk Will Be Staged at School Auditorium. — Will Be Best Ever Seen in This Man’s Town. “Mr. and Mrs. Polly Tickk” presented by the Wayne P. Sewell Cos., Atlanta, will be staged at the School Audito rium on Tuesday Night, March 20, at £:o<>. Miss Virginia Street, the coach, assisted by Miss Jones, arrived in the city Saturday and work was begun at once to perfect plans, select the play ers for putting on the play in grand style. Our people will remember the great success of the “Microbe of Love.” and “Mr. and Mrs. Polly Tickk” is* far su perior to the Microbe. This play is be ing put on under auspices of the women of Winder for the benefit of the Par ent-Teacher association. Everything is going good and those who attend this musical comedy Tuesday night will nev er forget it and will never regret it. The songs are those kind that you un consciously hum long after you have heard them, the characters and cos tumes are screams. The following is a brief synoposis of the play: When the curtain rises on the open ing scene, the audience beholds Father Time and Dame Fashion discussing the aproaching fashions for men and wom en. Father Time reads in his record book of girls in hoop skirts and polka bonnets as in the days of long ago. Dame Fashion sees in her crystal ball men in ruffled trousers and frills—all of which will be portrayed in an en semble of music composed of the entire cast. The time is 1975. The women, since getting the ballot have taken the reins of government and gradually exchang ed places with the men. The women now dress in mannish clothes and at tend to practically all the business, leaving the men at home to do the house work, sewing, darning, nursing, etc. The married men dress in frills and fur belows, and seem at the beginning of the plav to have lost all their mascu line habits and to have surrendered all of their male attire except their pan'ts. to which they hold wth bull-dog tenacty. In the first act, the women go oft to the lodge, leavng the men behind. The neglected husbands get together for a knitting partv. Billy Lawson, who still retains his masculine dress, drops in to chide his friends about the shack les they are wearing and is told that after he is married he will .surrender his freedom just as they have done. This brings on an argument during which Sullivan O’Brien rushes in with tae startling news tiiat all the women are planning to send Daisy Ann Lray to Congress so as to pass the Anti- Trouser Bill. After the meeting the “Emancipated Women" march in armed with brooms and in military style, present them to men, „ The act closes with a rousing chorus The second act opens with an en semble of music showing a house cleaning scene in which Tickk is assist ed hv his married friends. While tliev are in the midst of the scrubbing, in comes Billy, announcing that he is about to start a movement which will overthrow this petticoat government, in which plan the men join heartily. .Tust as the house-cleaning begins again, Sullivan O’Brien tweaks in, announcing that Senator Zella Highbrow, the au thor Of the Anti-Trouser Bill will speak to the women that evening, whereupon the men devise a scheme to keep Senator Highbrow from the meet ing and at the same time stage their revolution. The development of this scheme comes in act three. The voting precinct where the women have planned to bring about the climax of their triumph Is stormed hv the men. Then follows an exciting controversy. The result of this we can not disclose, suffice it to say it all ends happily. .. , . The grand finale is a beautiful cho rus featuring the entire cast. Notice Members Fidelis Class Baptist Church. It is earnestly desired that all the members, or ns many as who can. will attend Sunday at be present Sunday at 11:15.

The legend about it relates that long ago a peddler spent a night at the farm of a certain Mi call Rood. The latter murdered the peddler for the money he had about his person and tln* body was buried in tbe apple orchard. No one knew of the crime, but the following summer it was ob served that one of the trees bore apples apparently splashed with ijood. After several seasons, Rood confessed and hanged him self to the same tree under which he had buried the unfor tunate peddler. A FEW SUGGESTIONS TO OUR FARMERS The one crop system has always been a failure. Georgia is not the only state that has used this system. But Georgia is rather slow to see this mis take and change from the one crop system to a diversified system. Home supplies should he the first consideration. Tiie farm that is self sustaining will lv able to grow more cotton and grow the cotton at a profit. Tiie livestock on the farms can lie improved and increased to advantage. The average to the farm in the county is only: 1.1 cows per farm; 1.7 hogs per farm : 21 chickens per farm. Ijet’s make it 4 cows; 10 hogs; and 100 chickens. Grow your feed on the farms. No money in livestock or poultry if you buy all your feed. Increase your for age and feed crops and add to this a permanent grazing pasture. Take care of tiie home orchard. If you have no fruit trees on the farm, get a few fruit trees and make a start. Fruit is good for children and grown p<H>ple too. j Reduce tiie cotton acreage five acres to the plow. Put your best land to cotton, prepare your soil thoroughly, use fertilizers liberally, plant a good secl, cultivate frequently, and fight I,oil weevils. Use calcium arsenate dust if you can, if you can’t, pick up squares and weevils and destroy them. Grow some other money crop. Pea nuts, the White Spanish variety, sweet potatoes and truck make very good money crops if handled properly. If you should fail on the cotton you wili have something else for sale and it can tie used on the farms. The cow, the hen, the pig and the garden, if you have good ones, are as sets. If you will take care of them they will take care of them they will take care of you. If vou want to cut your expenses and increase your income, try this. J. T. Pittman, County Agt.

Goad Tiie regular annual examination which have been made by the Delta Laboratory for the past nine years to determine prospects of boll weevil emergence in the spring have just been completed. In making these records each year tiie same fifteen selected points in northern Louisiana have been used to represent the different types of hibernation conditions found in thut district. A total of over 3(100 pounds of Spanish moss is collected from these IKiints and examined carefully for live and dead weevils. From these records die ratio of both live and dead weevils per ton of moss is computed, in order to get a comparatively numerical ex pression. and past experience lias shown that this gives a very fair index to the spring emergence which may he expected. The record# for the past nine years are given in the following table; Live weevils Dead weevils Year per ton moss per ton moss 1915 10 0 414.0 1910 24.0 130.0 19117 8.0 144.0 1918 1.7 48 0 1919 4 0 53.0 1920 9.5 15.8 1921 22.0 20.0 1922 127.0 2.2 1923 19.0 42 0 From this it will lie noted that the figure for 1923 is only ID live weevils tier toil, as compared with 127 in 1922. This figure most closely approximates tin* survival found in 1910 and again in 1921. In other words, v e may ex peet a weevil emergence this spring very much less than we experienced last year anil nrohnbly slightD hsis tlian in 1910 and 1921. Tliis pro’ ably means that we will have a spring emer gence just about an aver a ire rate fpr tiie past ten years. Of corrse, weather conditions during the corning season may lie unusually favorable for weevil multiplication and still cause an ab normally heavy damage, but the fact remains that during at least the initial period of production it will require weather abnormally favorable for the weevils to seriously injure the farm ers’ chance of a bottom crop. Barrow County Ladies To Aid New Hospital The Winder Woman's Clnb invites everybody in Winder and Harrow county to join them in a shower to be given to our new hospital from four to six on Tuesday afternoon, March 20th.
