MUSIC CLASS NOTES.

mentioned songs, the Boys Glee Club
repeated the bulldog song. Owing
TO the football game and the Hi
school dance, there were not many
members present, but from the way
We sang, it seems that "the fever we
are, the better we are" Some men,
bers of the audience personally con-
graduated the writer on the singing
by the club. The college men were
specially pleased. as "The Bulldog"
is college song, and said of the
BASES: "You have the basest voices
we ever heard"
General.
The progress of the music class is
"sure and swift Thursday night,
many people who heard the songs at
the Parents-Teachers meeting noticed
a decided Improvement in the man
ner of rendering the songs, Prof.
Rogers being among the number.
The above mentioned people did not
see any improvement in the voices
for the simple reason that improve
ment here is impossible. The chorus
combines at least three essentials of a
first-class chorus: Beauty, brains. and
voice.
We have also participated in other
things during the week that are
worthy of mention. At Chapel, we led
the school in the singing of the
"Whoop it up" song, to the tune of
which the football team downed Bar
ton on Thanksgiving. and on former
occasion. the "Boy's Glee Club"
helped to entertained the Junior-Sen-
ior Literary Societies.
Well help her out,
Well help her out,
Well help her out again,
Well help out our old city
If she'll only tell us when
is the sentiment of the class.

Farming to be Profitable.

The high cost of living is on
very b3dy's tongue. Every wage
'arner, every housewife is con
'ronted with the high cost of
'oodstuffs. Everybody is saying,
"Foodstuffs are going to be scarce
md prices high next winter"
Foodstuffs are going to be
scarce and prices are going to be
high next winter, and the next
winter, and the next winter, and
for winters and winters to come.
We doubt if there will ever be a
surplus of foodstuffs in this coun-
try again. Prices may not main
tain their present high standard,
but they will never again drop to
anything like the low standard
when cotton sold for five cents
per pound, wheat for fifty cents
per bushel, and other crops in
proportion. Farm products, in
Guiding horses and mules, sheep,
hogs, goats, cattle eggs and poul-
try, will always bring profitable
prices. And the means and ways
of marketing farm products will
be better in the future than they
have been in the past.
All in all, the future outlook
for the farmer is safer is
and better than for any other
man in any other business. There
fore, young man and middle
aged man, why not go back to
the farm?
The farm has been an isolated
life. but it is not so any longer.
Good roa Is are reaching out
everywhere. and the little flivver
keeps rolling right along. The
man with a Ford car, or a Max.
we'll, who lives on a good grave
road ten miles from town, is ir
easier and quicker reach of the
friends who would visit him, anC
more accessible to business, thar
the man who, ten or fifteen year!
ago, was forced to travel TIVE
miles over a bad dirt road in ;
wagon. The telephone has con
nected the farm with the world
and the rural mail carrier is {
daily caller to ninety per cent. o
the farmers in most agriculture
communities. There is no longe
any good reason why wome1
should shy at the farm.
The farm is not get-rich- h-quicl
place. No man need go ther
, with that idea or intention. Blu
any intelligent, industrious farm
er, who will work as hard as tn
', average town worker does,
sure of a comfortable living an
competency when he come to ol
age. The farm life is the onl
) vocation that gives that assul
ance; a competency in old age. =
