The ScilooE Contest at Easley.

The oratorical and athletic
contest of the high schools of
the county took place at Easley
last Saturday. The teachers
and several of the students of
the school here went down.
The Easley school, we are in
formed, carried off all the
trophies except the oratorical
which was awarded Mr.. Olin
Craig of the Six Mile academy.
Many of our citizens who were
present at the contest are lavish
in their praises of the Easley
school, and speak in commenda-
ton of the interest shown it by
the patrons and people general
ly. We realize that we are
lacking in this most important
feature-cooperation with teach
ers and pupils. Often our teach
ers invite us to attend certain
exercises and these invitations
are unheeded. This should not
be so but all the patrons should
feel a keen interest in their
children and accept every op-
portunity to encourage the
teacher and pupil and promote
their best interests.
We hope our people will
profit by the splendid example
of our neighbor town.

The Farmers Meeting.

UISudiU W C11C iOoiSN eN1
iished in The Sentinel last week
and in spite of the rainy inclem-
ent weather, quite a number OF
representative farmers We're
present, and i Emediately after
the public sales Mr. J. f. Hen
bricks introduced Mr. E. W.
Dobbs, of sumter, the president
of the State Farmers Union.
Mr.. Dobbs PECAN his address
by reading the declaration OF
purposes Of the Farmers Union.
He stoted that the county was
now full of men who We're
studying and trying to instruct
the people how 10 grow more
crops aid at & less expense,
year by year. But as he looked
at the situation one and very
important feature regarding the
interests of the producer was
the lack of a prper system of
maketing the crops the pro-
duced.
He stated that it has been
shown that there are years of
large crops and years of small
crops, but the problem confront
ing the farmer is that of econo-
mically and prudently market
the crops made.
The first and mos important
thing for the farmers to con-
slider and the most effective way
of overcoming combines and
the bear gambler is for them
is for them to produce every
thing he and his family con-
sumes, and have a surplus to
put on the market for the con-
sumption of those who do not
produce. When this is done
make all the cotton you can as
a surplus and store it in your
warehouse for a price at profit.
He stated that there had new
er, in his judgement, been an
overproduction of any crops,
and would never be as long as
there were people in the world
unclothed, and as long as there
were people unfed. But the
great draw back to the farmer
as to the value of his produce
was the lack of a proper and
systematic plan by which they
could effectively market their
products. He stated that the
citron growers of Florida had
their setting agencies, the fruit
growers of California had theirs
and the onion growers of Texas
had theirs. Many other indus
tries were doing the same thing,
and until some such plan is
adopted and put in operationfo for
the products of the farmers of
the South the same charlie con-
ditions Will prevail.
Now the thing which the Far
mer's Union is endeayoring to
do was to establish in each
county Or at commercial centers
buying and selling agencies for
the farmers. Such an agency
is now in operation at Sumter,
Anderson and other places.
This idea is to employ a man,
who will buy and take over the
produce of the formers and put
in on the market for the far
mers as the market demands it.
The twentieth century as the
age of organization. We see it
among every business and in
emery avocation of life except
the farmer. and these can new
er cope with organized capital

EASTER SUNDAY
BRIGHT and CLEAR
FOLLOWING THE FORMAL INTRO
DucTIoN OF SPRING, LAST
WEEK WINTER HOLDS SWAY
FOR BUT ONE DAY AND is
OVERCOME EASTER MORN.

Following the return to furs and
winter wraps on Saturday which cast
a gloom over the feminine portion of
Fargo's population and not a few Of
the less vain sex who have been ready
probably for a week or two with stun
ming Easter costumes and natty out
fits, Easter morn dawned clear and
bright, though a bit cold where the
warm rays of the sun did not reach.
From the very early morning until
late evening the Fargo streets were a
grand promenade of men and ladies
and young people and children all for
the first time really bidding farewell
to the winter wraps. Fargo merchants
declare that at no time has trade been
so good as just preceding Easter this
year. Perhaps this was due to the few
extremely warm days which FASTENED
the purchase of lighter apparel. At
any rate everyone seemed happy in the
arrival Of so beautiful a day in which
to introduce the new things after the
anticipated disappointment of Satur-
day.
There were many strangers in the
city yesterday attracted by the pros
pect of hearing the great evangelist.
Rev. Mr., Sunday, and Fargo certainly
offered attractive hospitality. There
was no hint of the hard times which
were feared last fall and everywhere
prevailed the prosperity of a new
year. The stores and shop windows
rivaled each other in attractive offer
tngs and arrangements and in pass
ing along the streets hundreds of peo-
pie stopped to admire.
Many OF the residents of the city
have worked faithfully on shrubbery,
lawns and gardens during the week
and the Fargo homes made very at
tractive appearances, with their wide
stretches of lawn just suggesting the
first fresh green of spring. Flowers
were everywhere, cut flowers of course
and hot house plants, for in North Da-
kota, garden flowers are not expected
for a week or two yet and not in
abundance for a month.
AS a fitting background, making a
setting for the new spring clothes,
many of the churches were handsome
ly arranged with lilies, palms and
ferns. Some of the churches did not
hold service on account of the revival
meetings at the Sunday tabernacle,
but those who did presented beautiful
ceremonies of thankfulness for the an
~niversary of Christ's resurrection
Easter in 1912 will be one Of pleasant
memories and bright happy hours.
