Junior play whir h was present¬
ed Friday night. The star part
of Ginger was well taken care
of by Lucile Hatfield. Then the
next in order were the parts
of Jake Tallman and Miss Ra¬
chel Lee. which parts were well
rendered by Gilbert Baugh and
Frances Page. Wuzzie Walker,
who furnished the comedy,
was well acted by Duel Neely.
Others taking part were, Joe
Bowmen, Lola Moore, lleltie
B. Hubble, Jack Watson, Mary
l ate, Maurice Tatum and Has
-kell Hibhs.
A large crowd witnessed the
play, and all that spoke of the
pi y were glad that they came.
The Juniors have had invita-
lions to put the play on at
other places. It has not been
decided yet, however, whether
or not this will be done.
The February honor roll is

The Darters continued their
darting by piercing American
Mfg., of Chattanooga, 44 to 20
and the Darter Co-eds rolled
up another victory when they
downed Signal Mills Lassies
29-16. Then the Midgests eked
out a victory over Rising Fawn
by t he score of 22-28.
Regardless of how the scores
seem to show a hit Mop-sided’,
these were all splendid games.
For once, it seemed that the
Darter boys were we call “on”
or “hot”. Passing was good,
shooting was good, and guard¬
ing, after the first quarter was
almost perfect. Few times
did the American boys get
down to lake a real ‘crip’shot,
“rater” Stephens registered
18 points. Page 13 and Junior
Wheeler 12. Cole, at center,
failed to register, but played a
swell defensive game as well as
having many assists credited
his wav. Red Aloore continued
his usual steady g a m e al
guard; he shot a point, too.
The American coach said the
Darters were the best high
scl o >1 combine he has s c e n
this year. We don’t know who
he has seen. They really were
hot last night.
The girls easily won over the
Signal girls 29-16. Lena Porter
Dade graduate of last year,
was Signal’s best; rcgislt ring
12 of her team’s 16 points.
Rulhic McMahan tang up
II points for Dade; Stephens,
her team mate accounting for
10. \\ c think they are most
ready for McClellans now.
The final games of the seas¬
on xvi? 1 he here Friday night,
16th. when tin* Darter girls
will tangle with the McClell¬
an Champions and the boys
will take on Trinity. Be on
hand and help win the finals;
especially the .McClellan fray.

Wallace Exempts
Two-Bale Farmers
Farmers who produce two
bales and less of rollon were
exempted last week by Secre¬
tary of Agriculture Wallace
from provisions of the Bank-
head Production Control Act.
This was done under regula¬
tions governing operation of
the act instead of I hrough leg¬
islation, as had been expected.
The exemption was granted
in answer to protests from
southern senators and repre¬
sentatives fwho declared that
operation of the act last year
penalized small producers.
Cully A. Cobb, director of
the cotton division, was un¬
able to say whether the two-
bale exemption total would be
taken out of state quotas be-
Tore they distributed among
counties. “County allotments
will be made as before without
I reference to the two-bale ex-
emption,” he said.
Under provisions of I he Bank
-head act a tax of 50% of the
market value cotton is levied
on all production abovo 10,-
98.3, 264 bales of 478 pounds
net weight.
Over 10,000 Lbs.
Lespedcza Bought
Over 10.000 lbs. of Lespede-
za seed were delivered here last
week for the farmers of Dade
County. The seed was bought
through the County Agent, II.

C a. is Just About
The Wettest Says
Federal “Super”
Atlanta, Ga. Mar 12 Geor¬
gia, according to R. E. Tuttle,
district supervisor of the feder¬
al alcohol unit, is just about
the wettest state in the coun¬
try.
The district under Tuttle
includes Georgia, Alabama,
Florida and South Carolina.
„ 1 '' »a.<l . . of „ 10,047 Kallon, of II-
legal liquor seized in the area
in January, the records show
more than 40 per cent was
confiscated in Georgia.
Tuttle ranks this state ahead
of Kentucky and Tennessee
in the amont of liquor pro¬
duced. He said Florida gave the
least trouble as far as concerns
corn liquor. Bonded liquor can
be bought in Florida. Atlanta,
Tuttle said, consumes 100,000
gallons of corn whisky mon¬
thly, despite constant raids
through the state.
