The side lines for picking up dollars which are available to the
average (Georgia farmer between the seasons for the big staple crops
are so many and so varied that doubtless a good many of them fee)
they hardly know where to start whenever the idea occurs to them
that a little profit mieht be made while everybody is resting up
Each man to his choice in such times, but undoubtedly the farmer
from Macon south who doas not turn out some cane syrup every fall
is passing up one of the best.
There had been a decided.trend toward specializing in the making
of better and better quality of cane syrup each year until the time
has come 1n geveral counties. Telfair and Grady notably among. them
where the name of this farmer and that oa a can of syrup is a guaran
tee of quality and flavor that sells each year the entire output of the
individual at 8 premium for in advance of the mnflinq. And yet these
syrup sellers are men who are big farmers along the more consolidated
staple lines. Their syrup is the by-products. By-products mean vel
vet, always.— Macon Telegraph.
Wasps a Pest in England
The wasp pest has been so bad
in some parts of England this
season that fruit-growers in a
large way have had to wage a
ceaseless war against them.
The bee expert of a well-known
firm of jam manufacturers has
broken all records by destroying
no fewer than 307 nests. This
means that, including the wasps,
grubs and eggs, he has killed
more than four and a half million
wasps. One nests, a record for
size, was over four feet in cir-‘
cumference. !
Roumanian Characteristics.
The Roumanians are fond of
their folk tales and proverbs.
The Roumanian is any
thing but arrogant, yet the
pride shown in the proverbs is
exemplified again in the fact
that he not do domestic service
if he can avoid it.

“What is your position on pre
paredness?” :
“I am *n favor of it,” replied Sen
ator Sorghum.
“Do you think it will operate to
promote peace?”
“That’'s my view of it. Anyway, a
candidate out our way who Tsn't in
favor of preparedness may as well
expect to have a terrible fight on his
hands."—Ex.
Anyway, a pessimist never
bores us with his alleged funny
stories.

CHILDREN IN RED CROSS SALE

Children are among the most eager
buyers and enthusiastic sellers of Red
Cross Seals. In scores ‘of other
cities, such as Cleveland, St. Louis,
Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, Detroit,
Providence, Wilmington, Harrisburg,
Washington and Seattle, the boys and
girls are helping to fight tuberculosis
with Red Cross Seals. One nine-year
old girl in Duluth last year sold
4,500 seals in four days. A Meriden,
Conn., boy of ten sold 50,000 in three
weeks. A Wilmington, Del, girl of
twelve sold 10,000. Some of the chil
dren in Buffalo sold over 1,000 in a
week. The schools of St. Louis sold
over 250,000 seals, and in other cities
they added large sums to the anti
tuberculosis fund. .
Everywhere the boys and girls are
going in the fight against tuberculosis
by selling Red Cross Seals.

# School News ¢
The last football game of the;
year will be played sometime
next week between the eighth
and tenth grades. Whatever
the result the juniors will be the
school champions. Read this
column for an ‘All Fitz-Hi”
team. Picked by experts.
How about a track meet be
tween the classes after Christ
mas. We need something .of
that kind for the good of the
school and the classes would cer
tainly enjoy the meets as well as
they do football games.
The Junior class and the Sopho
mores played their closing game
Wednesday. The Juniors had a
swell alibi for the defeat they
believed they were going to get.
The ninth grade line averaged
130 pounds to the man against
their 115 pound one. But they
were denied the privilege of using
the alibi. The reason was simp
ly this—the Juniors won by a
score of thirteen to nothing.
Both teams played exceptionally
fine ball, the tenth fumbled not
at all and the ninth but twice.
I'he Sophs did splendid work all
the way round but the tenth
grade men all played Mahans
Oliphants and Paddocks. Those
of the tenth who played excep
tionally well were Wideman,
Kennedy, Booth, Linneman,
Thurmond, Miller and five others.
Thurmond scored both touch
downs on perfect forward passes
from Booth. Another touch
down seemed imminent, with the
‘ball on the ninths five yard line,
‘when fate and the umpire in
tervened with a ten yard penal
ty. The only time the ninth
seemed in danger of scoring was
when Pittman passed all the field
but Kennedy and was running at
full speed, when he gets ina
place like that it usually means
six points for his team, but
Kinky made a big league dive—
and a number of ninth grade
rooters went home in disgust.
Dr. Ford made one of his good
talks to the Senior class Thurs
day afternoon. The main point
he brought out was that the class
should work together as one unit
instead of struggling along
everyone for himself us they
have been doing. The meetings
have been poorly attended and
things as a whole not running as
they should, so this talk was
badly needed and assuredly
gredtly appreciated. Dr. Ford
also spoke of the class play to be
given. Itisan old custom for
the graduating class to give a
play. In the past it has seemed
that each succeeding play has
been a little better and this class
intends to “keep up the good
work.”’
The tenth grade algebra class
has started reviewing all the
book. They will take up Geo
metry Christmas. Most of them
are glad to leave Algebra but it
is to be feared that they will only
be ‘“‘jumping from the frying
pan into the fire.”
All the girls seem to have
headaches this week, but why
they wear narrow black velvet
bands instead of wet towels we
can’t understand. Certainly the
latter would be fully as becom
ing.
There was a display of pictures
in the Domestic art room this
week supposed to have been
painted by Japanese school
children. They are for sale and
are well worth the money asked
for them—to those who haven’t
a full supply of complimentary
‘““art calenders.’’
. The schools were visited Wed
nesday by Prof. Wilkinson, supt.
of the school in Pelham Ga. Prof.
Wilkinson was very well impress
ed by our school system and took
some notes on different things.
Buckety Buck has again made
a weak attack on the interest of
the boys but met with about the
same results as the great French
drive last month, without the
disastrous results, Marbles are
about as successful but there are
some faithful henchmen of the
game who risk frostbitten fingers
everyday to keep the sport from
hibernating. ‘“‘Pull-away’’ is
the favorite on the seventh grade
part of the campus.
In. the school news several is
sues ago we referred belittleing-!
ly to a song that was put on the
hoard. By bad luck on the
morning of the day the paper
came out Dr. Ford taught us our
““Hit the Line’’ football song.
The note referred to the one
called “Vacation Song’’ and not
to the other. The football song,
from Harvard’s famous one, and
our Alma Mater from Vander
bilt’s beautiful and really inspir
ing. They would both be good
ones to sing every morning at
chapel. '
Xmas holidays start Tuesday
the twenty first, only twelve
school days left. Isn’t it funny
how the weeks seem so much
longer this time of year and how
short they are between Xmas
New Year. :
Many of the classes will start
review work next week for the
Xmas semi finals. Those exams
about the only distasteful thin3s
conuected with Christmas holi
days. :
The tenth grade Manual ‘“‘Art”’
class has finished some leather
picture frames of modelled lea
ther. Leather work can be done
anywhere with no tools but a
few nails and something re
sembling a hammer. The ninth
has made some hammered cop
per trays. The eleventh made
a concrete bench. The tenth
grade has made molds for some
other concrete work.
The Literary Society meeting
postponed from last Friday, held
this afternoon and a very good
program rendered.
- Two or three songs are sung
every morning at chapel. We
have learned several new ones.
One of them, is the “Wach am
Rhein.”” The song is one which
has a tune enthusing to any
people. The words in the book
we use are really not as good as
those in the school song books
but the tune is the same. It
would be nice to spend an “‘ln
ternational morning’’ some day
and sing ‘‘The Star Spangled
Banner,’”’ the ‘‘Marsellaise’”’ the
‘‘Austrian hymn’’ and maybe
*'God Save the King."” |
