housewives will be in the midst of
a strenuous canning season and,
by the way, they should begin

Mother’s Day Exercises.
“Mother's Day” program, pre
pared by Miss Emily Curls, the
principal of Pearson high school,
was given Sunday afternoon at the
school auditorium.
The two Sunday-School, Method
ist and Baptist, gave w;r to the
exercises at the auditorium, and
quite a large audience gathered.
It was soon apparent that all pre
sent were in sympathetic accord
with the sentiment of the occasion,
and listened with rapt attention,
while the tender love of mother
was rehearsed in songs and read
ings.
The program was well prepared,
the arrangement good and render
ed'in a quiet and thoughtful way.
Some of the ehildern in the audi
ence were first impressed with the
thought of applause, but they
quickly caught the true spirit of
the solemn occasion, and grew ex
ceedingly quiet.
The exercises were opened with
a fervent prayer by Prof. Sankey
Booth, the Superintendent of the
Methodist Sunday School, and clos
ed with the benediction by ,1. O.
White, Superintendent of the Bap
tist Sunday-School.
Miss Curls deserves the thanks
of the community for her industry
in preparing and rendering the
program, giving the day proper
recognition.
School Commencement.
With another week the Pearson
High School will close.
Miss Curls, the principal, and
her capable corps of assistants
have planned a formal program for
commencement. The character of
this program in detail has not
been given out, but the Tribune
caught in passing that the child
ren’s exercises will occur Friday
afternoon and evening, May 21st.
'the commencement sermon will
be preached at the auditorium
Sunday morning, the 23rd, by Rev.
Newsom T. Pafford, of Mcßae; the
hour —probably 11 o'clock.
The graduating exercises takes
place Monday evening. Two
young ladies. Misses Etta White
and Edna Meeks, and two voting
gentlemen. Masters Edison Pafford
and Ernest Parker will receive
their certificates of graduation
from the high school.
The Tribune failed to learn who
will deliver the literary, tddress.
The Case Worm.
Investigation shows that all the
pecan trees in the city arc infest
ed with what is called “The Guse
Worm.” These pests have micas
ed themselves between the young
leaves of the trees and just Vliat
damage will eventuate this editor
is not informed.
However, there seems to be a
well defined idea prevalent that
they will destroy the tree, ff this
be true, some means should speed
ily be found to combat him and
put him out of business. The edi
tor's attention was first called to
this matter by Dr. I!. S. Malone,
who has instituted a thorough
spraying of his young trees, at the
hotel, wiih Paris Green and
Piaster.
The Tribune would not be sur
prised if these pest infest every
tree in Atkinson county.
If bothered with flies and mos
quitoes get Hofstraal Mens Drug
Company, use as directed and they
disappear.
Goes to West Point.
The Tribune is pleased to an
nounce that James li. Dickerson,
of Homerville, son of Judge Robert
G. Dickerson, has passed the en
trance examination for West Point
and will enter the military acade
my, in June. He is an appointee
of Senator W. J. Harris.
Young Mr. Dickerson has had
exceptional opportunities for ac
quiring a literary education, his
parents being educators of superior
ability, and both have been dili
gent in encouraging their children
to be earnest in their efforts to
secure an education.
Mr. Dickerson is notonly liberal
ly educated, but is a fine specimen
of physical manhood. He is well
proportioned, robust and agile.
PEARSON TRIBUNE PEARSON, GEORGIA, MAY 11, 1920
“Daddy” A 3-Act Comedy.
This is a very neat little play,
requiring eight characters —four
males and four females.
The characters were cast entire
ly from pupils of the school. The
young ladies were Misses Willard
Griffis, Edna Meeks, Mae Curls
and Doris Dickerson; the young
gentlemen were Masters Edison
and Glynn Pafford, Ernest Parker
and Solon Corbitt, They had
learned their parts well, and the
rendition was exceedingly good for
amateurs. The audience showed
their appreciation by frequent ap
plause and laughter.
A large audience was present
and. no doubt, a sufficient sum
was realized for the purpose of the
entertainment, to pay for the stage
curtains.
To Miss Emily Curls' indomit
able perseverance and energy the
school and its friends are indebt
ed for this much needed improve
ment.

A PHILIPPINE TRAVELOGUE
THE ROMANTIC ISLANDS OF THE FAR
EAST. PICTURES OF THEIR NATURAL
BEAUTY AND HISTORIC SPOTS—BE
COMING A MECCA FOR TOURISTS AND
A POPULAR WINTER RESORT.
V
The Zigzag on the Way to Baguio, Summer Capital of the Philippines.
Ail aboard! Let's go! We’re start
ing from Manila, tlie great picturesque,
Americanized Oriental city, and will
travel by automobile 200 miles to the
north to Baguio, the summer capital of
the Philippines. The trip can also be
pnido by train
We have ahead of us one of the most
scenic, spectacular and thrilling auto
mobile trips In the world. We will
have excellent roads all tho way. The
Philippines are, in fact, a paradise for
autoists, possessing 3,500 miles ot line
macadamized roads.
Tile first part of the trip Is through
typical small towns and then across
the centra! plain of Luzon and through
several rich and fertile provinces,
where tropical vegetation Is seen at its
best. Here one is impressed with the
great agricultural wealth of tile Philip
pines, which represents one of die
East’s greatest producing areas, with
the advantage of immense natural re
sources for die development of further
production. It is regrettably true that
even in the United States there is far
from any real understanding of the
potentialities of die Islands.
At some points rice fields, looking in
the distance like the greenest of green
lawns, stretch away as far as ftie eye
can see. If you want color, if you
want to feel the romance and mystery
of an Oriental twilight, puss this way
as die red eyed sun at die end of die
dying day is slowly sinking behind die
unending expanse of green fields. At
first you cry out In ecstacy at the
gorgeous scene. But as you ride along,
your eyes fastened on the panorama
of tints and colors, and witli the im
penetrably black Oriental night com
ing on fast, you become enthralled,
You no longer try to express your feel
ings. You cannot. You realize tlurt those
now fast changing, colorful master
pieces In the heavens and on the land
scape are pictures that no man can ad
equately describe nor human hands du
plicate. So what’s die use of trying !
True, these are but impressions, hut
the traveloguer considers himself justi
fied In mentioning them, for they are a
part of die trip to Baguio and return.
Indeed, the gorgeous sunsets in all
parts of the Philippines leave an im
pression on the mind of the tourist that
Is everlasting.
We leave the palms and tropical
foliage and enter ttie zone of Fugged
pine. We pass from the soft, incense
laden air of the warm lowlands to die
crisp, invigorating ozone of die tem
perate zone, all within a few hours’
time.
For mile after mile the road now fol
lows the tortuous course of a river, the
road lying in the bottom or on the
rocky sides of a granite canyon.
The Philippines are rich in hydro
electric possibilities. This power is the
cheapest power on earth. And It is
everlasting. Your traveloguer is nei
ther a prophet nor the son of a proph
et, but he predicts that one day there
will be innumerable Philippine govern
ment owned hydro-electric plants in
this canyon we are now passing
through. Think of the possibilities of
such a project I Today the trip from
Manila to Baguio is too expensive for
the average Manila worker and his
family, many of whom may live and
die without beholding the wondrous
beauties of their own island of Luzon.
Think of what a blessing it would be
to Filipino mothers and children to
feel upon their fevered brows the cool, ■
Invigorating breezes of the mountain
tops, now so near and yet so far ! With
the Philippine government owning its
own electric railways and hydro-elec
tric plants it would he possible to bring
the trip to Baguio within the means of
hundreds of thousands of Filipinos.
Not only is there sufficient power in
this river to electrify a line from Ma
nila to Baguio, but to operate the
street railways of Manila, light the
eity and furnish power for manufac
turing concerns.
But we have now arrived at Camp
One. From this point the scenery
rapidly changes as the elevation in
creases. We are traveling over the
famous Benguet road, the construction
of which through tlie mountains is a
most remarkable engineering triumph.
At places Ihe road is blasted out of the
solid granite. Hiding on the edge of a
100 foot precipice makes one feel like
“At times we seemed perilously near
the jumping off place."
lie Is on the rim of the world. Some of
tlie turns are so sharp It is impossible
to see 20 feet ahead, and ive seem to
be perilously near the jumping off
place. We wonder If it is safe to lean
out and peer into the canyon far below,
and when we do we are perfectly sat
isfied we are tlirting with death. Yet
the trip is a safe one, providing our
driver lias better nerves than our own.
All too soon we reach the outskirts
of Baguio,, a city among the clouds,
and are rather surprised at the modern
city we find it to he. In ten years Ba
guio has grown from a village of huts
to tlie now 1 justly famed mountain re
sort of the’Pliiiippines, sometimes call
ed (lie Philippine Simla. It is un
doubtedly destined some day to become
a large city.
Baguio ranges In elevation from
4,500 to 5,500 feet and is surrounded
practically on all sides by high moun
tain ridges and “hogshacks” towering
into the skies at a height of almost
8,000 feet.
Aside from the scenery, which Is
noteworthy, tlie great .blessing of Ba
guio is its temperate climate, which is
indeed a godsend to those impoverish
ed by tiie tropical temperatures of the
lowlands. Not only is the jnountaln
air rich in ozone, but it lias been dem
onstrated to he extraordinarily free
from germs of all kinds.
Each year during the hot season tlie
school teachers of the entire archipela
go are enabled by the government to
spend a month at the teachers’ camp
in Baguio for recreation and confer
ence on school work. American army
officers and their families also go to
Baguio for the hot months.
And now that your traveloguer has
you in Baguio, he believes he will leave
you ti;°re, for there are many interest
ing side trips to take, and, besides,
Baguio is the most delightful place for
a vacation in the entire Orient.
