FRESHMEN STUDENTS UP TO
STANDARD IN ENTERTAINMENT

The program presented by the
promising" Freshmen students OF
the school at the high school build
ing last night was in every way at
tractive and interesting. The man
ner in which the students in the
various roles carried their parts
bespoke in every way Of good judg-
ment of the faculty members. The
students on the entertainment last
evening not only rank high in their
school work but are considered the
class best "all-around" members.
A pretty operetta entitled 1.-THE
Quest of the Pink Parasol" was
given without hardly a touch OF
amateurishness, all the solo parts
and choruses being exceptionally
we'll sung. "A Perplexing Situa-
tion," fifteen minute sketch, was
cleverly given and furnished many
laughs for the people. who crowded
the auditorium for the affair.

BOYS HUsKED 77oo BUsHEL CROP
Farming without Hired Help As
WuthnOws Do, Is Profitable

Who said farming with a family
of boys did not pay? Alvin, Ernest,
Benjamin, Herbert and Harry Wuth-
now of Dillon and their big crop Of
this year are what you might say,
living examples. The past year hap
pened to be a good corn year and
the boys chanced to have large
acreage. During the husking season
the boys husked 7766 bushels of
corn, grown on It's acres. Their
farm is upland and the corn averag-
ed As bushels an acre. The boys were
all. Reflector callers Thursday and
all were loud in their praise Of the
elevators which save all the tire
some scooping. They said that with
theirs they were able to husk thirty
bushels more a day.
The boys finished husking theiI
bumper corn crop, ran their bis
Rambler automobile out of the gar
age, "fussed up a little, jumped IL
the car and drove twenty miles t
Abilene in fifty minutes. What
the matter with farming?

GUILTY OF STEALING OVER
COAT-S25 AND 80 DAYS
From Wednesdays DafSyl


Benjamin Nelson was arrested al
Solomon this morning by Marshal
Lee, charged with stealing an over
coat, valued at SIS, from Arthur
Blake, of this city. He was brought
here and in Justice Hutchison's
court he pleaded guilty to taking the
coat from the Mcclellan rooming
house, where he and Blake were
staying, and was sentenced to 30
days in the county jail and fined
$25 and costs, amounting to $31.
The city officers say they could
have preferred a bootlegging charge
against him, as in the last few days
he has been here, he has received
four shipments of booze and fifth
was on its way to Solomon. The
coat was taken from Blake's room
yesterday and Nelson left the same
day. It developed that Nelson bought
a suitcase and in that checked the
coat to Solomon in order to escape
suspicion.

That the present day trend In
religious songs is back toward the
old beautiful hymns, is the opinion
of DR.. Dean G. Dutton, pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal church.
"Especially is this so in the Sunday
school, where, in the primary de-
partments they are teaching the
little children such grand old songs
as Holy, Holy, Holy. and Come
Thou Almighty King" he said. AS
no reasons. with the growing gener-
alton having these songs implanted
In their minds, in few years only
the grandest of the hymns will be
sung in the church services.
With such an end in view he has
arranged the words of 20 Of the
most "singable songs" taken from
six books and had them printed on
both sides OF a large card board.
This he uses in his evening church
services instead Of song books. He
eliminates in doing this tho bother
and expense of purchasing six diff
ferent sets of song hooks and has
the best of songs for ready use.
mo" he said, very emphatically,
when asked for his opinion on
whether or not he thought there
was a present day tendency toward
RELIGIOUS song "hits" as there is for
the popular rag time hits" He
backed up his statement by saying
that the rag time hits satisfied only
the tickle and were shallow in their
appeals, while there is no such end
to be answered in religious songs.
They have to fill a much deeper and
firmer conviction.

of the past. More sickness on ac-
