EXERCISES OF HIGH SCHOOL.

Last week was Commencement
week of the High school. Besides
the excellent recital Monday. night

Ringo Tuesday night, two very Inter
esting plays were given by the Jun
Tor and Senior classes on Wednesday
and Thursday night respectively

presented the "Heiress Hunters e
charming play, well carried out.
With suitable cast and an Appreci-
alive audience this play made q de-
cidsd hit.
On Thursday night the Senior play,
"Claim Allowed" was given. This
was a patriotic production and was
one OF the most impressive ever
witnessed. Each character filled
his or her place perfectly and all
combined to make il extremely touch
ing. 1t was a war-play and very
pertinent At this time So real was
the acting that one would find him
self in voluntarily brushing the
tears away at the scenes OF pathos,
clinching his fists at the acts of indig-
nation or smiling at the sallies of
the old negro valet. This play rep
resents phase in cur national life
that is not fully understood and ap-
preciateG-the necessity for sacri-
flee. Every American audience
should witness II or one similar.
On Friday night Commencement
exercises were held at the Methodist
church. A large audience was pre-
sent and the program enjoyed by
all. Oscar Bennett, class Presi-
dent, delivered an excellent Grafton
on "Present-Day Aims of the High
School," while the Valedictorian,
Miss Winnie ID. Moseley gave an APP
preciative Grafton on 1.-The Blessings
OF War" Prof. Bruner gave an
interesting review of the work done
by the school during last year. Prof.

The Busy Bees.

The honey crop of the United
States for 1918 having been es-
timated by the Department of
Agriculture at about 250,OO0,-
600 pounds, The American Bot
anist estimates that as the nee
tor Of flowers does not become
honey until worked over and
partly evaporated, the bees must
move as much as $780, tons
Of material to produce this crop,
exclusive Of the honey eaten by
themselves. OF course this
product, about one-half is from
the nectar of white clover, with
two other ~leguminous plants

MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American HogS viii
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government justified in Stimulation
of Pork Produotion-Sevenfold
Increase over Pre-
Wa Exports.

Through Increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export times our pre-war
average exports Of pork products.
With the heavy demands added in car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression. the
Department Of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action of stimulation
of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
fats, and pork win help to save this
situation The efficacy of the policy
Of stimulated production has built up
in this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply a very large part OF
the fat deficiency Of the world. In
beef there must be a shortage in Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, win he filed by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by The pro
duccrs of this country to the wal pro
gram as applying particularly to ami
mai food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the q. S. De.
partment Of Agriculture Indicate an
Increase in cattle of 1O,23S,00O head
and l2,441,OOO hogs. These figures
were compiled TO January l last.
Ia tbig pnri,I tI,,.. 49, ~
in sheep Of $4,000 head. The indica-
tions are that this decrease win show
an Increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January ! unofficial lnforma.
ton Indicates an increase in hogs Of
not less than S per cent. and not
more than 10 per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an i~ncrease-in
the average weight.
Following the request Of the U. S.
Food Administration for an increase
in hog production for marketing in the
fall Of 1918 and the spring OF 1919 the
increase may yield not less than L,6OO.-
100000 pounds more of pork products
than were available last year. with
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
tLree months ending September 30.
iJl7, amounted to 903, $4,000 pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
LII, 5S9,OOO, an increase of over 374,-
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter OF
dressed beef showed 1,2G3,OOO,OO O
pounds as against 1,454, 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
