WEBER AND Fields.

Mention of the utterly absurd
title of the musical comedy in which
Weber and Fields are to be seen at
The Playhouse on Monday, April 10
-"Hokey-Pokey' reminds the ar
dent theatregoers that the titles OF all
the old Weberfeldian successes pro-
duced at the famous music hall in
New York bore titles of a similar
nature. A glance at the list is enter
tanning and interesting. Among them
may be mentioned such utterly ir-
responsible titles as THE Whir,igign
"Hurly-Burly,' "Hoity-Toity.o "Fid.
dle-De Dee" "Twirly Whirly."
"Helter-Skelter," "Roly-Poly."

BONDS ARE PAID OFF

Washington, Nov 22.-While it is fire.
quently easy for a county to issue bonds
and borrow money for improving the
local highways, the raising of the money
to retire those bonds at maturity is often
not so simple. Many counties, in Dor

amount of money raised represents the
total cost of the road, forgetting that the
road must be maintained and repaired

studied for series of years The fig
ures quoted above, of course, will not

there must be expenditures to maintain

of the road foundation, the greater must
be the percentage that repair costs Will

question of whether the actual surfacing

what it will cost the county to keep the

are paid the locality still will have

Considerable talent was displayed at

to get this grand Illumination all that
is necessary is to run the engine about
two hours a day, two days out of the
week, thus costing him the amount of
the gasoline and oil while the engine
is working. No homes in the village
are better lighted than these farm
buildings. The system is simple and
possible for any farmer. Besides the
engine a 32-cell wet battery is used
to store the electricity generated
through 50-volt motor turning 21,-
600 revolutions a minute The engine
when generating the electricity is also
used to pump water for the use in the
house and barn, a compressed air
system being used. This system thus
affords the house with the con-
veniences of hot and cold water, a
pressure being maintained at all times.
This little engine is again shown its
worth through the water system in
serving as fire protection. The pres
sure is sufficient to carry a stream
of water to the top of the buildings.
1t also makes it possible to have a
bath room and all the conveniences
that most city homes have and at a
minimum cost. The engine is used to
churn the butter and indirectly to
shear the sheep and run the washing
machine In the lighting system 50
volts are used where on a regular
power line from the transformer 10
volts are used. But in the Rowell sys-
tenn the same power lamps are run.
These are scattered in every nook
and dark place that a light might un-

at Lamar, has returned home.
The Thanksgiving play that wa'
given at the Indiantown school las
Tuesday night was enjoyed by al
present. Although the actors" had
practiced but a short time, yet the
play was well rendered, as were
also the songs and other exercises.
All of our teachers, with the ex

We are once again at work, after a
rest of four days. The holidays were
particularly enjoyable this year, be-
cause we did not have to teach on
the preceding Saturday in order to
be given Friday. The trustees very
kindly gave US that day.
Last Wednesday the usual Thanks
giving exercises were held in the au-
ditorium at II o'clock, consisting of
"A Pilgrim Play" by the 9Th and
7th grades, THE Runaway Thanks
giving Dinner" by the 4th and 9th
grades, a Colonial dance by the 3rd
grade, a drill and a recitation by the
first grade and a song by the school.
The children all did well, and the
audience seemed much pleased. We
were glad to see so many OF the
friends and patrons of the school
present.
Misses James and Plowden spent
the holidays at their respective homes.
The other teachers remained IN
Kingstree.
We are glad to note the presence
among us again of three members
of the Thompson family. They re-
turned home some time ago on ac'
count of i'll health and entered an
other school, but the call of Kings
tree was too strong and they decided
to come back. They have rooms II

During the stay of Rev Harolc
Thomas in our town he made two
visits to the school and addressed
the children. On both occasions M
was accorded unusual attention.
