of this school year with flying colors
and prospects were never brighter
than at this time.
On Monday evening ktWenty -one
graduates from the preparatory de-
partment presented to the public a
splendid program. This marked the
elimination of a great years work
and testified to the excellent train
ing received from the teachers Of
this department, Misses Rhodus,
Garnett and Hynes.
On Wednesday evening Mrs. Turney
presented her advanced students
from the music department in a
recital which consisted of vocal,
instrumental and violin numbers.
All participants acquitted themselves
with honor, an evidence of their own
talent and the excellent training of
their teacher.
On Friday sveninglthe graduating
exercises were held in the chapel, a
large audience being present. The
program was opened by Rev. J. L..
Murrell who pronounced the invo.
cation. Following this was piano
duet by Mrs. Turney and Miss
Lockard. At this point Mr.. Elmer
Ashby, graduate from the training
school department delivered short
address entitled Life lost aud Re-
gained" which was followed by the
regular commencement address,
Service" by Rev, B. w. Napier,
Louisville. This proved to be a
masterful production and was greatly
appreciated by his hearers.

Mrs. Turney and after the presen-

appropriate and choice remarks by
Rev. Bennett, the benediction was
pronounced by Rev. Iockard, of

Sam Lewis.

For the past three years the town
board has made an appropriation for
the care of the cemetry and put it in
the hands of the Women's Club, as a
result the cemetery has been well
kept, and has been in better condition
than ever before. At present the
ladies under the new board have not
been given charge, consequently the
cemetery is needing attention. 1t is
the duty Of the board to see to this
and arrange for the Wouen's Club to
take charge.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.

The commencement exercises which
was also the closing hour for this
school, took place at the Presbyterian
church Thursday evening The build
ing was not adequate to seat the peo-
pie and many stood in the vestibuIe
and in the rear end of the edifce.
The program was opened with pray
er by Rev. Jesse L. Murrell, and this
was followed by a song, rendered by
the High School class.
The address by Prof. r. P. Green,
came next. He was introduced in a
short, but well worded speech by
Superintendent A. P. Prather.
In starting the speaker made very
amusing play on the name, Green.
he said that sometime ago he was
called to Greensburg, KY, to deliver
an educational address, and that
Greensburg was located in Green
county, on Green river; that he STOP
ped at hotel conducted by Green
Howell; that he lived in Bowling
Green, on Green street, in a green
dwelling, with Mrs. Green and a lot of
little Greens, and that when he start
ed on his journey to Greensburg from
Bowling Green, Mrs. Green served
greens for dinner.
His lecture was along educational
lines and it was very scholarly pro-
duction, only the purest of English
being used. The address was force
full, Astounding in much advice to the
graduating class made up of Mr..
Stanley Cundiff, Misses Mary Hughes,
Mary Winfrey, Frances Reed, Corinne
Breeding, Ada Neat, The young la
dies were in white and each one wore
beautiful boQuet. Mr.. Cundiff was
elegantly dressed for the occasion,
but he did not wear flowers. The en-
tire bunch presented very attractive
picture.
Prof Green ia his address took an
occasion to pay tribute to Columbia
He said the town had been noted for
years throughout Kentucky as an ed
vocational point, and that it afforded
him great pleasure to appear before a
Columbia audience. The address
throughout was well received, the
speaker being highly complimented
upon the conclusion.
Following the address Miss Carrie
Grissom, about fourteen years old, a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Girls
som, rendered scientifically a piano
solo. She is very skilled and played
the selection throughout without
music.

Last. week. was the beginning of a
new quarter in the efficiency contest.
Only seven troops made a report, three
of them among the first six to finish
last quarter. Most of the scouts seem
exhausted from their efforts in the
last quarter. and have not begun to
work on the present quarter yet.
Troop 49, which finished fourth last
quarter. took a good start, and is now
leading the others; Troop n being the
nearest opponent 100 points away,
Troop 49 is third, 40 points below
Troop Is.
Scouts, it must be remefnbeFeb tina Z

troop which begins first naturally OBJ
tains handicap over the others. The
contest is not large now but little by
little the troops will come struggling.

~ Oh, sboysisj Have you ever seen rail-

and seeming to be unstoppable? If
you have, you will understand the con-
dition that Trop 80 is now in. We
scouts of Norwood have finally got to
going, and with Ralph Silver, scout
master, as engineer we are making
record time. We are like the4epgine,
nothing can stop us. ssf
Now to cut off the escape of steam.
and get down to business, let's have a
few facts. First of all, we'll telr you
about our examinations. Every scout
in Troop 33 is doing his level best to
pass at least one of his second or first
class examinations. 1t is in very few
cases that the scout limits himself to
one examination, for some of us have
completed the exams, and are now full
Pledged first-class scouts. Each scout
Is trying.
We are conducting a little. efficiency
contest all our own This contest is
being conducted on the same lines as
the larger one. but instead of being
between troops it is between the
patrols. Points are awarded for
numerous bits of efficiency, such as
a. scout being on time at the meet
ing, having a good turn ready, look

worked up quite a bit of rivalry over
this contest
Another thing which we boast of is
the fact that we are sheltering Troop
2. This bunch of scouts lost their
scoutmaster and were rudderless, so to
speak. We took them under our shell
tering wing and now have combined
under one troop, Troop 33. We are
glad to have the new scouts with u.s.

eral of our scouts and for a time
things looked bad for our troop, but
with DIR. Gilchrest. scoutmaster, aid

the storm.
Take a look at the new efficiency
contest and see where Troop Is stands.
This is just a beginning. Watch the
report next week and see who is lead
ing and how many points they have

The Community
sGlIVIDED into great groups, and measured
IL in dollars" continues Mr. Dangaix in his
booklet on "How We Affect Latin Americas
Daily Life, textiles form Latin America most
important item of imported finished manufac-
lures. Until recent years, we have taken rela-
lively small part in this large trade, owing to the
strain upon our productive capacity to keep
pace with our enormously increasing domestic
Z demands in these lines But there is no nation so
fortunately situated and so abundantly capable
to dominate this tremendous trade as the United
States, especially in cotton goods. Our rapidly
growing progress is indicated by our sales of cot
ton and cotton manufactures alone, in 1918, to
the value of 9l,600,000 These sales include,
however, raw cotton, cotton linters mill waste
andrags, valued at 81, 426, 0G0, the remaining sum
being for yarns threads, cloths knit goods, laces
embroideries and other cotton manufactures"
He states that there is an ever increasing de-
mand for fabrics in Latin America, as we'll as in
the balance of the world.
And he adds: among our plans and purposes
for greatly enlarged activities throughout the
world, none should be pursued with greater
enegy and in a broader and more liberal spirit,
than the cultivation Of mutual helpfulness in our
relations with Latin America; leading to spon-
taneous feeling Of interdependence and solidar-
ity of interests among the people of the New
World i
