Beautiful May-Day Exercises
At the Normal

<AA tAAC ANOL ula1
A most elaborate and beautiful
programme was given at the
State Normal beginning on Thurs
day morning with exhibits in all
of the class rooms. This was fol
lowed by Cantata, ''The Fairies
Festival given in the Chapel,
under the direction of Prof. Koch.
The singing was the best yet
heard by children in the school
and reflected great credit on the
efficient teacher. The soloists
were: Misses Julia Hill, Ruth
Barnes, Myrtle Cornelison and
Zerelda Baxter. The accompan-
ist, Miss Mckee.
Madame PiotroWska's German
class presented a play which was
an instantaneous success. The
characters were fine and they
spoke the German language so
fluently you began to doubt their
nationality. They were all stars,
so we give the cast in full: Misses
Elizabeth Turley, Mary Boggs,,
Mary Allen Deatherage, Messrs.
Francis Richard, Smith Park,
Wilco Scanlon, Robert Simmons
and George Park.
Then came the soul inspiring
Kitchen Symphony" in which
the musicians played on every
thing from a shovel to a milk
crock, not to mention the dish
pan and soup spoon. These art.
lists were trained by Prof. Koch.
After the pretty Folk Dances
given by the children in the
: rooms of Misses Dilling and
Hanson, the audience was invited
most cordially by Prof. Hoskinsor
to take dinner on the ground, as
the guests of DR.. Crabbe. Here
, a delightful meal was served be
ginning with old ham and ending
!, with ice cream.
+ The afternoon session consisted
, of a varied and interesting pro
/ gramme beginning with the Pro
, cession of the May Queen; thi!
; was one of the most beautiful,
: gotten UP of any we have seer
here or elsewhere. The Ma.
: Queen was Miss Mary Patrick
the Crown Bearer, Miss Elizabetl
Phelps, and the Canopy Bearer
Miss Jessie Lee Cleek, all three
lovely girls. This part of the en-
/, tertainment was under the man
,, agement of Miss Jeanne Barron
Hurst and the following commit
! tee: Miss Hulda Dilling, Messrs
:. Wren Grinstead, John G. Koch
]. H. Hoskinson and Roscoe Gil
: more Stott. Mr.. Keith acted a
. Marshal.
The beautiful canopy and tn
i, garlands of flowers were the Worl
of Mrs. S. B. Hume and her elias
and she needs no further proof O
= her artistic ability and that of he
: pupils, than this.
}, The second part of the pre-
: gramme consisted of first,
catchy play, ''The Clancy Kids,
> and this was followed by tn
. graceful Folk Dances, while as
o fitting climax to perfect da,

The operetta, Hiawatha presented at the
Normal School on Saturday evening under
the direction of Prof. John G. Koch assis-
ted by Miss Leila E. Mckee has been pro-
nounced by people who know" to be one
of the most beautiful things yet given in
this school, so noted for good things.
The Berea Orchestra was very fine.
The Latin play under the management of
Prof Wren Grinstead has also received its
share of kindly comments.

Mr.. Farmer, please read the fol-

moneys worth. Of course you
think you do, but you are not sure
about that, ONLY AN ANALYSIS
WILL TELL. The cost of an anlay-
sis is insignificant. considering the in
side knowledge you will gain by, and
may save you hundreds Of dollars.
When you sell your Cottonseed
you should sell it according to it's
contents Of oil, and not by the bush
ell measure as you now do. If your
seed are rich with oil, nitrogen and
protein, you ought to be paid for it.
An analysis will tell you so, and will
cost you only $3.50 for complete
analysis Of your cottonseed. You
then insist to be paid according to
the real value of your seed Your
local cottonseed buyer will not very
likely object to that, as it is as fair
for him as it is for you. He wants
his moneys worth, so you want
your seed moneys worth.
