PUPILS PLEASE CROWD
 WITH PROGRAM

The closing exercises of the Franklin k Lane school were hel4 at the Union Hall Saturday night and the varied program presented by the pupils was thoroughly en- joyed by the large crowd which attended the affair
 Dr. Diven announced the items on the program, which was pub lished last Friday, and the rendition of the several items by the children. both little and big, left nothing to be desired and showed the care that had been bestowed in the preparation.
 From the opening chorus Voices of the Woods. by the little child ren, to the closing pageant with song America For Me-, not dull moment was experienced by the large crowd, who were unstinted in their applause as each item, faultlessly rendered by the clever children, was concluded.
 The closing pageant was taken part in by nearly all the children. who formed a pyramid The base of it was composed of the smaller children, each bearing paste board flag on the reverse of which was a letter. and each little one repeated a little poem as the re- verse of the flag was presented to the audience; and when all the flags had been reversed, the initials spelled Haig. Pershing and Foch, the next TOW carried shields and the same performance was repeated, the initials on the reverse of the shields reading Wilson. Behind the boys, on a slightly raised platform, the older girls also carried shields. each speaking a little piece and pre- senting the reverse of their shields, which spelled Peace. The apex of the pyramid was formed by Miss Columbia, the whole presenting very pleasing appearance. The com ponent parts of the pyramid then rendered the song America For Me-, accompanied on the piano by Miss Shaffer. and received hearty applause at its conclusion.
 Ere the party broke up, Dr. Diven called for a vote of thanks for Miss Shafer and Mrs Schaeffer, who devoted a great deal of their time and attention in getting up the most enjoyable program rend- cred by the children, and the audi ence showed their appreciation by hearty and sustained applause. The performances given by the children are always very good and perhaps this last performance was excep- tionally so.

KINGS OUT OF WORK
 ARE SHORT OF CASH

PARIS.-Ridicule and humorous remarks are always heard when the name of Constantine of Greece is mentioned. The news that "Tino has no funds is received every where with pitiless mirth "Tino's'' troubles with his servants are sub jects of conversations on the boule- wards and fill the columns of hum orous publications. "Tino" is now at the Dolder hotel in Zurich and is said to be meeting his bills regularly, but the size of his tips has shrunk. The flow of paper marks which came from Germany during the reign of Emperor Will liam has been stopped and although it has been officially denied, the rumor persists that the former Queen Sophia, the sister of the for mer emperor of Germany, has had to call upon some friends to visit the pawnshops with some of the regal jewels.
 King Nicholas of Montenegro di- vides his time about equally be- tween Nice and the Hotel Maurice in Paris. When he is not busy pinning decorations on unsuspect- ing visitors he is working hard to regain his throne. There is strong opposition among some of the five big powers to Nicholas returning to Cettinje either as king or as a prominent citizen.
 Of the smaller princes, Joachim, youngest son of the former German emperor, has been living in a hotel on Rigi mountain, Switzerland, un- der the name of Count Mansfield.
 Rupprecht, the former prince of Bavaria, of western front fame, was the guest of the bishop of Coire, Switzerland, for some weeks, but his present whereabouts is un- known. Rupprecht has never recog- nized the republic of Bavaria, and his last works upon leaving Bel

ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN ARKANSAS

The good Southern state of Arkansas is building
a road between Little Rock and Hot Springs. dis
lance of 60 miles 1t is 30foot, concrete road with
asnhalt surface and will cost si5O0O0O. Part Of the
cost will be paid with the proceeds from the sale
of bonds part from federal aid and the remainder
from a tax on adjoining properties. says the Manu-
facturers' Record.
Arkansas has voted and sold siS.0O0,00O OF bonds
for constructing good roads. 1t has built hard
surfaced road between Little Rock and the Louisiana
state line. distance of $50 miles. This road was
built with money derived from tax upon adjoining
property. And not single properts-owner made
objection.
This shows what is being accomplished in one state
in building highways. other Southern states are
making splendid records in this particular. and the
time is not far distant when the South will have
many hundreds of miles OF real highways that will
invite travel Every dollar expended in the con-
struction OF these roads will be good investment,
both for the general good and in the matter of the
value of individual properties

SOUTH FLORIDA LEADS

That enterprising and public-spirited gentleman
Mayor j. D. Smith, Of Mariana. in letter to the
Times-Courer of that city calls attention to very

is steady trickle OF desirable immigration down

But suppose that wanted to settle down in

PRINT PAPER SITUATION

conditions In the paper market fast reaching
the unbearable stage in this country Through the
unlimited power OF the paper trust whether or not
papers shall be done away with in America is mat
ter entirely in their hands they are using this
power most arbitrarily by raising the price of paper
to figure that will close up half of the
printing houses in the country, says the Panama
Guy Pilot.
Within the past week paper has been raised from
cents to as high Is cents and the supply Of
parts Of the country cut Off entirely. In the mean
time, under present laws, exporting of paper is
being carried on which gives these paper barons the
further opportunity to raise prices.
A few years ago the international Paper company
had this section examined by experts to see what it
held in the way OF pure water and plentiful sup
ply, and the amount OF timber available for making
pulp. The reports OF these experts, which the
writer enabled to see, showed there was boun-
tiful supply OF just the water required plentiful
supply Of sapling pines, and other suitable woods
for pulp making and that paper could be made here
much cheaper than In the North. About that time
came the decision of the paper trust to stop enlarg
ing their plants. to check the output of the same.
and to stop further investment in the way Of paper
making outside the plants owned by the trust.
The war aided them in their cornering Of the mar
ket, but the government as war measure, took the
matter in hand, and temporarily checked their prof.
tteering. Now that the is over, it has begun

Florida Press Opinion

Making Good Syrup in Holmes
Cane grinding time' is in full swing and
wherever one may go in Holmes county farmers will
be found busy making syrup. which is just another
way of saying that the farmers are making money
for at present prices syrup profitable crop
County Agent ]. J. sechrest has been making a
survey of the sugar crop in Holmes county this
year, and according to his estimates the value of the
syrup crop in the county will total nearly half
million dollars. He estimates that 1900 acres have
been planted to sugar cane in the county, that
average yield of syrup is about six barrels of 80
gallons to the barrel per acre This would produce
5000 barrels $4,000 gallons, which, at the present
retail price OF 1925 per gallon places the total value
of the crop for the county at the handsome figure
OF s393750 Mr.. Sechrest says his estimate is
vative and il anything far below the actual figures.
Practically every farmer in the county has grown
cane this year and the yield has been exceptionally
good. fine grade of syrup is also being made
which finds ready market.-Homes County Adver-
