closing exercise of the school when
'Snow White" a beautifuloperetta,
will be presented by the scholars.
Previous to the opening of the pro-
gram an overture of fine selections was
rendered by the school orchestra, which
was much enjoyed The orchestra con-
sists of Will w. Hunter, first violin;
George Kimball. second violin; Rodman
Backus, trombone; Clifton Halliday,
cornet and Miss Ethelyn Cramer, pia-
moist.
The program opened with a most
laughable sketch entitled 1.-THE Singles
Family" which was interspersed with
local hits, singing, recitations etc. The
part of the Widow Singles who was
left with eight daughters to raise,
formed a travelling show company be-
cause of their versatility, was charm.
ingly taken by Miss SUE Hunter, who
went to great pains to show her daugh-
ters various accomplishments. Each
one tried to out do the other, and it
was hard to pick the winner. Miss
Margaret Tyler, as the baby othe
family, was IN charge of the rations
and clung to her portion, nursing
bottle, with tenacity, hardly finding
time for her part. After short in
PERMISSION during which the orchestra
+ ndered selection, there followed a
scarf drill which was charmingly pic
turesque and showed careful training
and much practice. Nine girls took
part and the pretty scarfs and dresses
Of the participants lent rainbow eff
feet to the various steps given.
The program closed with real rep
resentaton of county school. When
the curtain was first raised three boys
were disclosed discussing whether or
not to play hockey" but the appear
ance of the teacher, impersOnated to
the life, long tail coat and all by Prof. y
Malcolm Moore decided them upon the
dutiful course. When the school bell
rang crowds of children rushed from
the rear of the hall to their places and
their antics and fanciful costumes
caused much laughter.
When school was finally brought to
order, and the names called. visit
from he.Committeeman Clifton Halliday
was much enjoyed. The funny answers
to his questions by the classes in his
tory, spelling etc.. provoked much
laughter, many local hits eliciting much
applause. The essay read by Phillips
Platts on the history St. Lucie county
and Fort Pierce was very clever. The
entire performance reflected great
credit upon the participants and es-
1ecially upon the principal, Mrs. Edith
Hunter. who gave her personal super
vision to every detail and drilled the
actors.

SUCCESSFUL TEST OF
GROWING POTATOES

K. r. Rauerson, president of the
East Coast Cattle Company, brought
to the TRIBUNE office Saturday some of
the finest specimens of Irish potatoes
ever raised in this vicinity. They were
grown on land situated two miles west
of Fort Pierce, which has been exam
med and pronounced by experts to be
the best potato land in Florida, greatly
superior to the land in the potato belt
around Hastings.
Last week Mr.. Raulerson dug and
shipped II barrels, and each potato was
large, firm and of uniform size. In all,
this season up to Saturday, thirty bar
rels have been shipped into the mar
kets, and as the Hastings territory will
not be ready to ship for nearly month.
this shows great advantage to be de-
rived by local growers. The raising of
potatoes in our section is as yet an ex-
pertinent, but the success of this ven
ture will inspire many to follow the ex-
ample of the East Coast Cattle Com.
pany, who have already decided to in
crease their acreage next year by 20
acres.
James E, Andrews has already de-
cided to plant ten acres on his land
mile northwest Of the Cattle Com
pany's land in potatoes next year.
The land about here is adapted to the
raising of potatoes, and the freedom
from frost being the reason they are
thirty days earlier than the Hastings
section, will no doubt make the Fort
Pierce section potato belt as well as
pineapple belt. With our back coun-
try, hundreds of acres can be planted
and market with buyers established.
The East Coast Cattle Company have
also decided to plant on their land next
year an orange and grapefruit grove of
twenty acres. Mr.. Raulerson is elated
with the success of his potato venture
and predicts rosey future for that in
FAINT industry in this section.
Deputy Sheriff James R. Abrams
was burned TO death and George C.
Barco, was seriously injured near
Boynton at midnight Friday, when the
steering gear of Mr.. Barco's machine
become manageable and the car
swayed out of the road and was upset.
As the machine turned over it caught
Abrams, Barco and Richard Gardner
under it. The gasoline tank exploded
covering Abrams and Barco with the
burning fluid. Gardner managed to
extricate himself uninjured and succeed
ed in getting Barco out. but not until
he had been seriously burned. Cor
oner Ricketts, went down to the scene
and held an inquest. the verdict being
accidental death. Abrams body was
brought to Palm Beach for burial. Mr..
Abrams was well-known throughout
Dade county and before his recent ap-
pointment as a deputy by Sheriff Har-
dee, had a blacksmith shop in West
Palm Beach.
