With buttons are too free.
Upon the back and on the sleeves,
All uselessly and still,
They stand. And surely none believes

That all these elegant designs
Do not protect 'gainst rain.
And pictures. lights and flowers there.

To dine, but crowd the bill Of fare.

The Age Of Progress.

How rapidly scientific history is being
made in the conquest of the air we who
are privileged to look on while this is
being accomplished can but feebly appre-
ciate When was there ever an age In
the world when n single lifetime would
compass such scale of progress as the
telegraph, the dynamo. with all it's mar
velous applications; the telephone. the
phonograpl. the automobile, the wireless
and the flying machine? Talk about your
golden ages and good old days, The
world has never seen such vast progress
as we are beholding right now, and In
conscience and sense of responsibility as
much rs in more material things.

Lincoln Cornmernoration

The Lincoln program given
Monday evening by the high
school, the grades, and the Bray
school was not largely attended
because of weather conditions.
but a eoodly sized audience who
braved+the wind and dust were
pleased with the entertainment.
The memory of the emancipa-
tor has too long been neglected,
or underestimated, by our coun-
try and this year being the one
hundredth anniv ersary, has
awakened a nationwide desire to
fittingly commemorate the life
of the Savior of his country,
second only to the tribute ac-
corded the father of his coun-
try" The program rendered in
Springfield was part Of this
commemoration.
Among the features of the
program should be mentioned a
flag drill by the smaller pupils,
which was executed in cred
liable manner, two songs by
Baxter and Arl Green, imperson-
ating negro minstrels, and a
song by the Bray school. So
many good numbers were rem
dered that it is difficult to select
more than the above as deserv-
ing of especial praise. A tableau
was given by a majority of the
pupils as closing number. 1t
was so extensive that one could
not grasp all of the picture pre-
sented in the necessarily short
time.
Such evenings are well spent
and will bring back pleasant
memories in days to come, aside
from the historical interest and
knowledge gained.
Among those from outside the
school districts attending We're:
Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Christy, Day.
ton Knox, Misses Emma and
Ethel and Floyd Chenoweth,
Miss Maude and Cleve Stalnaker,
Miss Brand, Will Reynolds and

Stonington School Entertainment

The Washington birthday eel
| ebration and box social came off
according to schedule. Owing to
the prevailing high cold wind
the attendance was not what it
otherwise would have been, but
the house was fairly filled.
There was some good recitations
by the pupils and two dialogues,
(Which will he Marry" and
the '1rish Linen Peddler," both,
especially the latter, were a sue
cess. The music was furnished
by Charles Nance and Arthur
Waldron, the house was appro-
priately decorated with flags.
After the program came the sale
of the boxes. About twenty
boxes were sold, also some pies
and tarts. Something over twen-
ty dollars was realized from the
sale. Miss German received the
cake awarded to the most pop
ular young lady. A box of candy
was to be given to the homeliest
man, but the people evidently
understanding to be the hand
soonest man awarded it to Mr..
Cliff Ertan. The cold ride home
brought to the minds of a few,
at least, that such pleasures are
sometimes expensive. Cores

It sees nothing in the play that

frantic over. The play is going
to Boston and The Bee hopes
that the Massachusetts colored
citizens will attend the play if
they so desire and if they don't
want to attend it stay away. The
more fuss you kick up about the
play the more you advertise it.

will permit it to run.
