School Notes.
School closes on Friday, May %.

School closes on Friday, May 23
On Friday evening the graduating
exercises of the high school will be held
at the opera house.
The annual school entertainment will
be given at the opera house on the even
ing Of May %. An operetta is being
prepared for this occasion, entitled,
The National Flower" in which one
hundred and fifty of the school children
will participate. The boys of the upper
grades will also give debate on the
same evening.
The Lamar high school has recently
been placed on the accredited list of the
State University. Consequently the
present graduating class will be the first
TO graduate from the full four years
course. The graduating exercise held
at the close of this term therefore de
serves the distinction OF being the first
graduating exercises from the Lamar
high school. The present year most
assuredly marks an era in the history of
our public schools, date from which
school events may be recorded.

WIEN GRANDPA WAS a eoy

when Granpa was boy-oh, gee.-
say, want the fellers good!
They never did thing but jest en-
actlly as they should.
Then never worried Bridget and they
never sassed their Ma;
Then ever used ter tease and beg fer
storis from their Pa;
They never kicked the table leg, ner
asked two times fer pie;
They never whined ter have ice-cream.
and candy made 'em cry;
They'd good deal ruther bring in wooo
then play with any toy,
And dom chores was their delight,
when Grandpa was boy.
When Grandpa was boy they had no
holidays at all,
And school kept goin' right along
through summer time till fall;
And all the fellers loved it and they
used ter tease ter go.
And If they stayed ter home day it
broke their hearts, yer know.
They never thought of "hookin' jack. "
and never once was late,
And never threw spitball ner made
pictures on a slate.
But studied jest ter beat the band,
cause lessons was their joy,
And no one ever missed word, when
Grandpa was a boy.
When Grandpa was boy he loved ter
wear his Sunday clothes,
And used ter black his shoes all
round, and not jest crost the
toes;
He used ter be so careful that his
suits looked new for years,
And always when he washed his face
he scrubbed behind the ears.
He loved a tract, but never cared fer
books bout Deadwood Dick.
And dotted on a sermon, but circus

When Grandpa was boy he did jest

And was a regular angel. 'cept he

pear grows about six inches high and
every year it puts out runners" that,
in turn, take root and form new
bushes; so that, when a bog first be,
comes productive, five years from the
time of its beginning, it is thickly
covered with bushes.
This growth is accentuated by a sys-
tenn of irrigation that keeps the bog
water-soaked, though not to such a
degree as to cause anything like a
liquid state. The irrigating plan is
most useful as a protection against
frost; for, when the grower believes a
frosty night at hand, he opens the
flood gate and allows the water to
overflow his bog. until it is from
eighteen to twenty inches over bush
and berry. The next morning the bog
is drained and the fruit picked.
The picking process is simple

CRANBERRY INDUSTRY is BIG.
Fruit Grown in Boys Costing from
$500 to $500 an Acre.

One of the notable successes of 1901
is the cranberry business; for. when
the last of the yield was picked. an ag-
gregate of 100000 bushels was
reached. BY comparing this with the
vieldof 1,9OO-569 900 bushels-the
success stands revealed.
The cranberry is as closely allied
to the Christmas dinner as holly to
the Christmas tree; but. of the mil
ions who enjoy the tart berry. few
know how it is cultivated. The ber-
ries are grown in boys that cost from
$500 to $500 an acre. The soil in
which they flourish is composed of
peat and clean. sharp sand, the latter
being absolutely essential to healthy
growth.
