TO GRADE LITERARY
SOCIETY WORK
Wednesday afternoon, the Fitz-Hi
Literary socicty had its regular week
ly meeting in the study hall at 3:30 o’-
clock. It was announced at this meet
ing that the students taking.part in |
this literary work, would be gradedl
in it the same as in their school work.
This is thought to be a very good idea,
as it helps the student to realize the
necessity of being a good public
speaker, and also the.debates, develop
clear thinking,

STUDENTS TO BOOST |
FOR BOND ISSUE
Tuesday morning, Mr. Hall announ
ced that the council had agreed to
float a hond issue, of $20,000, for the
purpose of building an auditorium at
the high school. Mr, Hall urged the
students to talk bonds all over the
town and try to help to arouse inter
est in it. Mr. Hall called attention to
the fact that at present the senior class
would have to go to some expense
to rent the opera house for their play
to be given that night while with the
auditorium this fund would go for the
benefit of the school. ]
SENIOR CLASS PLAY
WAS A SUCCESS
Thursday night the senior class pre
sented their play, “Assisted by Sadie,”
at the opera house, to one of the best
crowds of this year’s show season.
The play was probably the best home
thfent production ever presented in
Fitzgerald. All of the students taking
part in the play secemed to be talentedi
artists, and the audience was delighted
during the entire play. l
Friday morning the students of the
entire school gave the senior class
several rousing cheers. Mr., Hall an
nounced that the play had been a suc-l
ess from a financial standpoint, as well
as entertaining, 1
The senior class, received $123.71 as
their share of the cash receipts of the‘
evening, and have practically no out-l
standing expenses, |
This fund is to go to some fund for
the good of the high school, although
just what is to be done with it has not
been decided. However, as they are
practically sure of an auditorium for
next year, the seniors 'will probably
put the money into the hands of some
responsible party to be used to help
furnish the auditorium next year,
THE HIGH SCHOOL ... .a
AUDITORIUM PLAN
' (By Mrs. Geo. W. Brown)
(Chairman Woman’s Club
Auditorium Committee)
The need of an Auditorium and
new class rooms for the High School
is so well known to all connected
with the school that it seems almost
like “carrying coals to Newecastle” to
call attention to it; but as a good cause
gains by publicity it may not be amiss
to ask all the citizens of Fitzgerald
to keep the matter in mind, talk il!
over in the family, and discuss it with
the neighbors.
it is ' the purpose of the Citv Coun-
O 3 uonedNPl JO pitog Ay pue 1
build an Auditorium that will seat at
least 1200 pepple, there will be a stage
and all that pertains thereto; the ac
coustic properties will be carefully
considered, so that this building wil!

ned beforehand; and it is also the pur
pose of the gentlemen to have this
done before school begins next Sep
tember.
Six More Class Rooms
The addition necesesary for the
Auditorium will furnish space probab
ly for six class rooms, and the High
School building is to .be put in good
repair while the other work is going
on. All of this will furnish employ
ment to many which is not one of
the least benefits the town will gain
from it. :
The school, to give good service
needs all theg e things as much as the
human body needs proper food to
keep it in good health.
If the boys and girls now in school
and those who have graduated in the
past five or six years could tell of the
crowded condition, lack of desk room,
and scats, anrrow crowded isles, and
general confusion for which there was
no remedy, you would not hesitate nor
consider the inadvisability of building,
No! You would think only of how
soon the defects could be remedied. |
So far I have spoken only of thel
absolute needs of the school. ltl
might be well to think of the benefitsl

lthat will be an inspiration and de
light, good speakers who will tell us of
lthe world, and give us new viewpoints,
and longing for better things. And all
the while the love of beauty, harmony,
and order will be steadily growing in
the minds and hearts of the boys and
girls, making them have a great love
for their school and pride n their city.
With these things, and many more
that you all know in your minds, do
‘not neglect to register and to vote

‘given you now, and there is every rea

DR. L. R. SCARBOROUGH,

. Baptist 78 Mililon Campaign.
Dr. L. R. Scarboreugh, who was
general director of the Baptist 76
Million Campaign, and who was later
elected chairman of the Comservation
Commission that is seeking to con
serve all the imterests of that cam.
paign, has issued a report from tae
Nashville headquarters showing the
various interests that have profited
from the $16,861,100.68 collected on
campaign pledges up to Dec. 1, 1920.
With its receipts of $2,958,808.07,
the Foreign Mission Board has added
to its territory five new provinces in
China and made the beginning for
opening up work in the new fields of
Spain, Hungary, Roumania, Jugo
Slavia, and the Ukraine in Russia;
strengthened its work in Syria and
Palestine, made a beginning in East
ern Siberia, added 100 new workers
to its force of American missionaries
in foreign lands, provided new houses
of worship, hospitals, schools, pub
lishing plants and other institutions
needed in the prosecution of mission
ary work. What is of even more im
portance, in the estimsbion of Secre
tary Love, is the completion of many
institutions and undertakings that
had been held up for lack of funds.
Home Missions Doubles Budget
By reason of the larger receipts
from the campaign, the Home Mis
sion Board has been enabled to prac
tically double its annual budget for
its work of evangelism, church build
ing, work among the foreigners, In.
dians and negroes, mountain mission
schools, enlistment, and general mis
sion work in Cuba and Panama. The
appropriations to evangelism have
been practically doubled, those e
church building increased between
500 and 600 per cent, those to the
mountain schools, forty in number,
100 per cent, and those to the work
of enlisting undéveloped churches,
300 per cent.
In the realm of state missions,
which embodies such work as provid
ing missionaries and other special
workers for needy fields within the
states and aiding weak oongregations
in the building of houses of worship,
the advance made possible by the
campaign ranges from 25 to 100 per
cent in the eighteen states of the con:
vention territory.
" Returns to the Conservation Com
mission by forty-five of the Baptist
institutions of learning which are
sharing in the returns from the cam
paign, show that they have received
$2,713,756 so far. Of this sum, $l,
640,000 has been expended on im
provements, $400,000 has gone to en
dowment, several hundred thousand
dollars in old debts have been wiped
out and other improvements are un.
der way.
Ten New Hospitals Provided
Southern Baptists were operating
fourteen hospitals when the campaign
began, and as a result of the new in
terest in this work aroused by the
campaign ten additional hospitals
have been launched. These hospitals
have received $1,111,439.45 from the
campaign so far, while local commu.
nities in which the hospitals are 10-|
cated have subscribed approxlma.tely‘
$2,000,000 additional. The hospitals
have practically $1,000,000 in im
provements under way. The seven
teen Baptist orphanages have like
wise come in for much larger support
as a result of the campaign, thoirl
receipts from this source being
$1,018,798.67. As a result of this in.
come the orphanages have been en
abled to make improvements valued
at $325,000.
The work of aiding aged preachers
Is a new one among Southern Bap
tists as a whole, but as a result of
the campaign the Relief and Annuity
Board has recelved $408,148.82 from
that source and $300,000 from Mr,
Rockefeller, Sr, ~ .

Drum With Harmonics.
Musicians find the drum an unsats
isfactory instrument for lack of har
monic overtones. From India comes
the description of a drum the parch
ment head of which is loaded with
an adherent composition containing
finely divided iron. Such composition
lies in a central circle. Around the
edge a second ring-shaped membrane
is secured and the effect of the load
ing is to produce good harmonic over
tones.

At Greenland ranch, in Death val

as recorded by a tested maximum
thermometer exposed in a standard in
strument shelter, rose to 100 degrees
or higher on 23 days during June, and
on every day during July, 1920. The
extreme maximum was 125 degrees,
recorded on the last day of July. On
July 10, 1913, the temperature there
reached 134 degrees Fahrenheit, the
