CLOSING EXERCISES
BRANDON SCHOOL
THREE SPLENDID PROGRAMS
RENDERED
Beginning Wednesday Night with
and intermediate Departments
and Closing Friday Night with
Negro Minstrel by High School
Boys.

The Brandon public schools clos
ed last week with three splendid
programs, each of which was listen
ed to by crowded houses.
intermediate departments enter
tanned on Wednesday evening with
"a May Festival" It would be dif-
ticult to point out any one feature
that was very superior to others
as the program was so excellently
done throughout. Perhaps the
Summer Girls. attracted a little
more attention than the others.
| On Thursday evening the High
School girls carried out most in
teresting and we'll arranged pro-
gram. The Serpentine Drill by 36
girls in costume was a wonder to
all the audience, the intricate fig-
| ures which seemed almost too COM
plex to be even perfectly done. The
Force Comedy, "A Greclan Bend
was exceedingly we'll performed as

The piano duet by Viola Burns
and Sallie Cole Shields and the rec
itations by Ruth White and Mar
garet Buchanan were all good.
On Friday night the boys of the
high school gave a Negro Minstrel.

cotton industry is that showing twC
loads of cotton, one from bad
Iiroad territory and the other from
a good road territory, the differ
ence in weight showing the profits
and losses that come from good and
bad roads.
In the second car are enlarged
photographs, showing some OF the
worlds finest roads of rance. These
photographs illustrate nearly ev-
cry phase of the good roads prob
lem.
For the farmers and experts there
are working models in this car
showing what makes the best roads,
the way the boggy road can be inn
proved by mixing sand with clay,
hoy macadam and other hard roads
are built, and practical suggestions
which will be of benefit in the case
of each individual.
The working models are seen IN
operation, the power being fur
nished by gasoline engine, installed
in the car. The demonstration car
is not opened until after the lecture
and the experts are on hand to ans
wer questions and give information
on any point that may be brought
up.
In running this train, the South
ern Railway and the Mobile and
Ohio railroad are not charging the
government, going to great expense
SO that the people along its lines
may be given the very valuable in
formation of the building of good
roads and their repair which it af-
fordS.
The plan of running this train
was adopted by the Southern and
Mobile and Ohio after consultation
with the United States office of
public roads and the American As
sociation of Highway Improvement,
of which President Finley of the
Southern and Mobile and Ohio is a
director. In every way possible
the roads interested wish to pro-
mote the building of good roads in
the south recognizing that with a
system of improved highways, the
southern farmers will be saved mil
lions of dollars annually in the
movement of their crops to market.
1t is hoped that the "ROad Im-
provement Train" will stimulate the
already growing interest in good
roads throughout the south, bring
about the enactment OF uniform
laws and uniform methods in hand

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

II have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every in
stance, / always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that of lady friend
of mine who, when a child, was af-
fiicted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with sevorer torture. She
could not go to school as the disfigure-
ment looked terrible. told her to get
at once a set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use Of only one set she was
perfectly WELL
"a grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be SO painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
/ have also seen them cure children
of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and l used the Cuticura Oint'
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas 1t was quite stiff before
l began to apply the Ointment.
Last May l had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edging right
down in the side of my toe. I cut
the nail out Of the cavity 1t made, an6
of course applied the Cuticura ONT
ment to the part affected. 1t soothed
1t and in less than ten nights it was
all healed through constant use of the
Ointment Ten days ago had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment hal
completely cured them. / have jus

Sunday morning a burglar entered
the general store of Mrs. E. A.

rear windows and helped himself
to about s75 worth of goods from
the store. The burgalry was not dis
covered until some time Sunday
when the officers were notified and

Those in charge OF the store say
that they miss one overcoat. two

respect as this Is the first bur-
galry that has taken place for a

CLOVER YIELDS GOOD RETURNS
IN IDAHO

According to figures given by
Don Il. Bark, government irrigation
engineer for Idaho, a crop Of red
clover raised last season on the ex-
I'snnental farm at Gooding, yield
ed at the gate sof nine and nine
tenths ions 10 the acre. There were
thyee Big cuttings W. more than
usual. BuAA Yr *ark says, this
Is clover tountry. And whether
Il is white or red clover, or alsika
Or alfalfa, the result is satisfactory
in each and every case where the
proper cultivation and irrigation
are given the crop. BY the way, a
clover proposition was presented
by Mr.. Bark that looks good to the
writer He thinks it Is safe to bank
on a crop Of clover hay for the first
cutting and a crop Of seed for the
second and last crop. The first
cutting would need to be early to
giye time for the maturing Of
seed crop following it. It is well
known that it is easier and safer
to raise clover seed than it is al
falfa seed. One reason is because
the clover heads are practically all
al the top where they are exposed
to the sun and wind during the
entire season of growth. But with
alfalfa the seed pods form all the
way from the top to the bottom of
the stalk and any crowding of the
plants results in shading some of
the blossoms. Again, it is easier
to get a good stand Of clover than
il is of alfalfa. For quick and sure
eturns, some Of our farmers may
cor clude that clover is a better
proposition than alfalfa. It pos
sesses all those fertilizing qualities
which are common to all clovers
Or any leguminous plant and is
equal to alfalfa in this respect un-
less it be in subsoil roofing and
fertilizing. The writer is under |
+he impression that crop of clo-
yer seed in this region of country
has produced ninety dollars peri
acre gross income. This lacks a /
good deal Of the maximum yield /
IF alfalfa seed but perhaps it /
makes up il sure returns what it /
nay lack in excessive yields for
seasons.

were nipped some. II Is claimed
that there are more than enough
