The pupils of the public school CAV
their Christmas entertainment Dec.
23rd in the School House Hall. The
Hall was prettily decorated with holly
and pine, and a beautiful Christmas
tree was a joy to the younger pupils.
The recitations and songs by the pu-
pills were well rendered. Eight little
girls recited "The night before Christ
mas" Beautiful Night, Holy Night"
sung by a q~uartette of girls of the 9th
grade, deserves special mention. A
commotion was heard on the roof, and
Santa came down from the belfry by
a ladder. He was a jolly Santa Claus.
His white hair and beard streamed
over a red. coat. On his back he car
ried a large bag. After wishing the
children a merry Christmas" he
opened the bag, and distributed gifts,
a beautifully bound book for the
younger pupils and boxes containing
perfume for the older girls. He had
a different message for each child as
he handed them their gift, which caus-
ed lots of merriment. Michael Mirag-
liza is congratulated upon taking the
part of Santa so well. Following this,
the pupils formed in line and marched
to the home of Mrs. E. M. Foster.
After presenting Mrs. Foster with a
china salad bowl and a beautiful pot
ted lily, they sang Christmas carols
with Miss Brush at the piano. Mrs.
Foster gave each child a box of candy
and fruit, and wished them all a Mer-
ry Christmas. The children replied
with "Three cheers for Mrs. Foster!!!
Hipl Hip!! Hip!! Hurrahi!l" that
made the rafters ring. 1t was indeed
a merry Christmas for the children of
lakewood.

The Christmas entertainment at the
Baptist church on Christmas night
was a decided success. The
choir music was excellent, and the
solos and duets rendered by Messrs.
Rumford and Snyder were beautiful.
Also Mrs. Farnham and Miss Ethel
Souders sang very pretty solos. The
children did their parts exceedingly
well, especially the two selections rem
dered by the children's choir. Miss
Ida Powers had their training in
charge and they did her credit. Mrs.
English had the regular choir in
charge. Miss Faulkenstine and Mrs.
Quicksell gave very pretty recitations,
and we must not forget the ehildren's
r%ecitations and how nice they did their
parts, too. The church was very pref
tily decorated. Baskets of fruit were
presented Messrs. Rumford and Sny-
der by appreciative friends for so
kindly assisting with the service.
Pastor Tyson, too, was not forgotten,
and a neat little sum was presented by
his friends with best Christmas wish
es. One of the Sunday School boys,
Manville Robinson, was presented with
the sixth year bar, for the cross and
crown badge. He is only eleven years
old and has six years of regular atten-
dance to Sunday School to his credit.
The pastors address was short but
good. In fact there was a very en-
iovable time for everybody.

Cost Of a Submarine.

Although actual figures, for obvious
reasons, are not available, one would
be Understanding, rather than over
estimating the cost Of the German
submarine U-29, which the British ad-
miralty reports to have been sunk, at
100000. This total is based on the
fact that, according to a certain Off
cial publication, the E-4 Of our sub.
marine feet, which was completed in
1918, cost 9107791; and the E class
is neither the largest nor the most ex.
pensive type of submarine in the feet
today.
According to the admiralty state
ment, the cost Of the hull, fittings
and equipment" Of the E-4 was a26,-

polling and other machinery. In adj

JACOBS LITTLE JOKE
ELABORATE LUNCH NOT APPRE.
GATED BY TRAMP"
No Doubt He Enjoyed II, but Snowy
Table Linen and other "FlxingS" \
Were Something That He Gould
Have Done Without.

Just as Sarah was putting the fin
ishing touches to the dinner, Jacob
came in from his store down town,
and, shifting the pleasant odor Of food,
remarked: Sarah, could thee fix me
up some lunch for poor tramp?"
why, of course, Jacob, could fix
1t up for thee. but why not bring the
tramp in here, SO that no one may see
him eat?"
well, the poor fellow has Travelled
many miles today, and / left him down
at the store; but if thee will fix me
some lunch, I'll carry it down to him
on my return"
"All right, thee go ahead and eat thy
lunch, and when thee is ready to go
back, I'll have his lunch ready for
thee"
So saying, Jacob passed into the
dining room, and when Sarah had him
safely employed eating her delicious
and substantial meal, she left him to
his own devices and repaired to the
kitchen, where she first lined large
basket with one Of her snowy damask
napkins, then, thinking that tramps
would enjoy having meal look inVit'
ing as we'll as anyone else, she got out
her best covered dish, in which she
placed liberal piece of steak, then
bread and butter, and small dishes,
each with its separate cover, in which
she placed mashed potatoes, green
peas, stewed tomatoes, a bottle of COT
fee and custard and cake for dessert.
She then covered the basket with an
other snowy napkin, and when Jacob
had finished his lunch, gave him the
basket to carry back to the store.
Upon Jacobs return home that eve
ming, with the basket and empty
dishes, Sarah asked: did thy tramp
enjoy his dinner?"
did he enjoy it," asked Jacob.
well, / guess he did. He ate every
thing but the tomatoes and coffee, and
I finished them for him."
Strange that he did not drink the
coffee" murmured Sarah.
"Why, not at all strange, Sarah. I
never yet saw dog that drank or en-.
joyed coffee" Jacob answered, striv-
ing not to smile.
What does thee mean, a dog? ia
cob, l am ashamed of thee for speak
ing Of a poor fellow in such a man.
ner," Sarah chided him.
"But, my dear Sarah, 1 tell thee it
was dog" dryly remarked Jacob,
then, unable to contain himself any
longer, he shouted with laughter.
Needless to say, Sarah has never
forgiven Jacob for allowing her to go
Ito all the fuss she did, over a tramp
dog, and whenever the name of dog
is mentioned she looks at Jacob in
commanding way, warning him not to
attempt to tell of her tramp.

. OUR POSITION.

Several friends have inquired o.
the editor of the Enterprise what
would be his position and that Of
the paper relative to the approach
ing senatorial fight, which, as every
one admits, will be fierce. Others,
tmay we be egotistic enough to
say?) have doubtless wondered
whether the Enterprise would sup
port Lea or Sims or Patterson.
1t is early yet to say Just what
one may expect to do or who he
will support in this fercest Of all
political battles in Tennessee.
There may be other candidates in
the field between this and another
issue Of the paper. There probably
will be.
And with this IN view the Enter
priseIhas concluded to reserve its
decision until the next week
issue, when our position will be
fully stated in plain and unmis-
taxable terms. In all great battles
il Tennessee the Enterprise has
not been, difficult to locate. The
stand this paper has taken may
not always have been for our
financial good; the paper may
have lost the support OF some who
felt they could not support it
while espousing certain causes,
while others may have felt they
could or would not pay the paper
back rations because it did support
certain gentlemen for office, and
me Of them may not have
luidated this indebtedness to
is good day, But these things
I've never kept the Enterprise
ON taking a stand upon every

important issue-and that stand
has always been the right stand
for morality and sobriety and
decency. And this shall continue
to be the policy OF the Enterprise
SO long as under its present
management. So if there be those
who may not want to continue
their support, or, like some OF the
Simon-pure aggregation Of several
years agone, who may not want to
pay what they already owe for
back subscription because of our
rosition-then we say to you
frankly we shall not blame you for
your refusal to patronize this
paper.
In our next issuswe expect to
make a plain statement OF our
position with. reference to the
senatorial fight. II you are
interested, watch for it.

How to Treat Seed Oats to Pre-
vent Smut.

To each three gallons Of water
add one ounce (about two table
spoons) Of formalin Of the usual
or standard strength Ia 40 per
cent solution of formaldehyde gas
In this solution soak theEseed oats
ten or fifteen minutes, stirring
them SO that every grain may
become thoroughly wet. Then
drain off the surplus water, cover
the pile Of seed oats with cloth
that has been dipped in a stronger
solution OF formalin. Leave the
sacked or bulked oats covered
for about eight to ten hours to
permit the iormalin vapors to
penetrate the mass Of seed more
thoroughly, but do not let the
oats remain damp long enough for
sprouting to begin. Next spread
the oats in a thin layer on floor
previously made clean by washing
with a strong solution of formalin,
and dry them rapidly by frequent
stirring with clean implements.
Instead of soaking the seed, as
suggested above, the grain may be
poured out on a wagon sheet or
burlap clothN and sprinkled with
the solution OF formalin. Sprinkl-
ing and stirring the seed must be
continued until every seed be-
comes thoroughly wet. Then the
corners Of the sheet may be drawn
up to cover the pile Of treated oats
and to prevent the rapid escape Of
the formalin vapor. After the
oats have remained covered eight
to ten hours, the corners of the
sheet may be thrown back, and
the oats spread out thinly over it
to dry.
The seed should be sown after
they become dry, though they
may be kept for weeks before SOW
ing, if they are stored in thoroughly
fumigatod bins or boxes. A very
good way is to prepare the seed
one day and SOW them the next
day. In sowing damp seed, a
larger amount OF oats than other
wise necessary should be sown to
allow for the swollen condition Of
the grain.
Formalin may be obtained from
any wholesale druggist and from
most retail druggists, or ordered
through the latter. The usual
price in New York, when several
bottles are ordered, is less than
50 cents per pound bottle, con-
tanning fourteen ounces. y. F.

THE NEW HIGHWAY.

1t ought not to be necessary, at.
ter the creditable showing made
in starting the foundation for q
magnificent east and west high.
way through the county, to urge
cooperation on the part OF the
general public in putting through
the great north and south high
way, which it is intended to con-
struct from Dukedom on the north
border OF the county to Bradford
on the south, extending through
the towns Of Latham, Dresden
and Greenfield.
The Enterprise feels that coop
Grafton will not be lacking in this
gigantic enterprise, but the time
set for the general working days
August Is, 26 and 27-is so near
at hand that we do feel like urg-
ing upon the people the Necessity
of getting together and arranging
for the three days work before
hand. so that nothing will prevent
the construction of this great high
way, which will mean so much to
those sections of the county not
blessed with a railroad. Each cit.
izen ought to feel a pride in these
He ought to give some
Of his time and money to their
construction. He ought to make
up his mind right now that he
will arrange other matters so that
he can go out upon the highway
and give some time to the actual
labor, for it is going to require a
vast amount of work to put this
road through. 1t will require
more labor and time than on the
east and west highway, for the
reasons (1) that large portion
If the road is in very bad shape
and will necessitate the widening
If more than half the distance,
md ~ that there will not be the
number Of towns through which
he highway runs to draw upon
or financial help and labor and
as was the case with
he east and west highway, which
lad Gardner, Martin, Ralson,
Dresden and Gleason all to draw
N, each OF these towns contribute
ng literally Of both cash and Ia
oor, besides each helping in the
natter Of organization, the pro.
riding OF food for the work hands,
distribution Of food, and so on.
Thus we say much more will be
equired Of each individual resid-
ng on the north and south high
way than was expected Of those on
he east and west route.
We want to urge, then, that all
itizens unite in another tremen-
lous effort for the building Of
his highway. Let the three work
ng days take precedence over all
ther matters, excepting sickness
nd death, and let every man on
his route see his neighbors and
II his friends and invite them
yer on one or more of the three
avs.
