duce SET per acre. Show ME a cot
ton crop that has done so well. Mr..
Curry is highly pleased with the
experiment and will repeat the ex-
pertinent In sowing wheat and sor.
ghum cane together next year. Mr..
Curry says this idea Is not original,
that he got it from hon. r. K Err
win, who has made a success Of
growing wheat and sorghum togeth-
err.
Mr.. Curry has a beautiful home
and his farm consists of three hun
dred acres, besides he has one hun
dred acres leased from Fl. A. Pierce
BY hard ticks he has accumulated
this property in about twenty years
He is great believer in diversified
ton and on the four hundred acres
he cultivates he will put in only
one hundred acres to cotton next
year. While there we noticed his
thirty-six head of mules which he
purchased and will put on the mar
ket when they are ready TO sell.
Besides he has number of hogs he
is raising for home and the mar
ket Mr. Curry says the mules, cows,
hogs ard chickens pays his running
expenses and his crops are clear
PROFIT. He thinks the chances Of
owning a farm now at the high price
of land is better than thirty years
ago when land was selling at $50 per
acres. FOR the markets are better and
you can realize more from the prod
ucts raised on the farm.
After the splendid supper We en-

nothing the matter with the inter-

Junior Minstrels Score Un- qualified Hit at High School Auditorium The Show Not Confined to the Stage. Either
By THE CUB

Minstrel Monkey shines of the Class of Sixteen kept a large and en- thUsiastlc audience in a continuous roar of laughter at the high school auditorium last evening.
 The whole program was very good and the junior class deserves d great deal of credit for putting on such high class minstrel show.
 The show proper started at S:15 o'clock but in the afternoon the jun iors gave a free show on the streets
 in the way of advertisement. Rosa We'll Slapjack. and "Yo-hO- -ho- ho and a bottle of horse -liniment' Posey took it upon themselves to keep out of Thomas Jefferson Handkerchiefs hands, the last mentioned gent was a limb of the law. The hair raising escapes of the two colored gents in and out of the stores and down the jungIes of Washington and Adams streets created considerable excitement and drew a lot of atten tion to the big show.
 The curtain arose on the "Old Fashioned" yet up to date assembly, I and fer the space of about forty five minutes the old stage was made mer- ry with the jokes of the end men and the songs of the chorus. Yep there were gals there, too. Good looking niggah gals.
 Frank Luke, as the interlocutor carried his part very well and didn't seem bit fussed at some of the jokes pulled off at his expense by the end men. Roswell Walters, Herb Herschman, Harold Tannehill and Harold Stabler as the Whirlwind End Men made decided hit and with their crazy stunts made the audience hold their sides to keep them from splitting.
 Pauline Shaw in her song, "When It's Night Time Down in Burgundy" took the house by storm, as Miss Shaw has fine voice. and with the chorus joining in she made a decided hit Earl Galpin also made good in his number
 Johnny Akers and Chick Edwards in their Fake Dance were exceedingly good and received their share of the applause of the evening. The panto mime 'Sweethearts" was q change from the ridiculous to the beautiful. The different ages of sweethearas brought tears to the eyes of many of the older folks.
 William Work and YohoIa Posey as Hot Air Specialists" were re- markably funny The plantation scene also helped to make the even ing d grand success.
