Farmers Institute.
Mr.. John Richardson,
Springville, Tenn.
Dear Sir:
At the September session of the
Farmers Institute held in Jackson,
your finance committee composed of
Messrs. A. Sharp Of Weakley, r. L..
Andrews of Obion, and j. C. Walker
of Dyer, recommended that your
president appoint an individual or
committee in each county to raise the
apportionment made by said commit
tee for each county to pay in full the
balance of $2,652.78 due to the Jack
son banks for the construction cost
of the Auditorium on the Experiment
Station grounds.
A very generous proposition has
been made the farmers of West Ten
nessee by an individual through the
finance committee, for the liquidation
of the above indebtedness; namely, it
is proposed by this friend to pay one
half the above amount, provided the
farmers Of West Tennessee subscribe
the other half imnie diaely.
Therefore / have appointed you to
take charge Of the campaign in Hen
ry County. The finance committee
apportioned your share to be $4,000.
We want this amount raised and paid
by November l. Permit me to sug-

HALLOWEEN.

Halloween affords an opportunity
for an assertion or acceptance of the
spirit of fun and revelry which lies
dormant in every worthwhile human
because such one is merely grown
up mischief loving lad or lassie, who
welcomes an occasion to "play a
prank" So that, Halloween, to
many grown-ups is mile post; in a
class with Valentine and New Years
Eve among the red letter days of
the year: it marks an annual diver
sion from the routine of business and
social life. In ether words, Halo
ween puts pep into many an other
wise drab and so-called "poky" ex-
istence.
Halloween antedates Christianity,
being formerly a Druidical festival
Of Harvest, and celebrated as the
night Of the year when all the witch
es and ghosts, of whom the Druids
kept the inhabitants of the northern
portion Of the British Isles in con-
slant terror, were most likely to
wander, and as the night when all
the wicked souls who had died for a
twelvemonth, entered the bodies of
black cats and other animals. The
association with the season of nuts,
fruits, etc., came from the Roman
celebration of harvest season just
about the time Of Halloween. ~
Fortune telling, various ways of
delving into the future and the I'M
known have been an inseparable part
of Halloween celebrations in most
every country. Of course, with the
advent of Christianity and the spread
of knowledge, Halloween became a
mere burlesque, mock and make
believe of the various entertainments
and charms of the ghost world, and
the height of a Halloweener's ambit-
ion soon became to play the ghost
to the other fellow.
A wholesome love of fun, a HARM
less mischievous intent is good
thing for boy to possess. In fact,
it is our opinion that any real boy,
who does not get some actual enjoy
ment out of Halloween, well, he is
MT real boy, that is all, and did
you ever notice that it is the mis-
chievous lad, who is the bright boy?
But in our tolerance Of the fun spir-
1t, there Is the ever precautlon tnat
the extent of "pranking" should al
ways be curbed. Most boys have to
be taught even the proper way to
have fun, and certainly since the re-
cent war brought out so forcibly the
horror Of wanton destruction and
useless despoilation, it is the more
important that on this, the first Hal
loween since the Armistice, the at
tention of every boy be firmly called
to any act of Vandalism that is an
accused Hun characteristic.
