THE CHAUTAUoUA

The chautauqua this year is under
the management of local commit

HARD KNOCKS

HAND hINOSho
Most of us think that we are here
to have Just as easy a time as posi-
BILE and that's what we are trying
to do. Pete gets the idea that If he
didn't have to get his lessons he
would have more time to play so he
copies the work of some other instead
of working the hard problems him
self. If Pete could look into the fu-
ture he would find that he wouldn't
always have the other elbow to lean
on and that he couldn't any more
work those problems at the age of so
than he could when he was boy. AT
the time those problems are hard
knocks but if he endures them ne is
that much better off. Our literary
team has a lot of hard knocks this
year. If they had said, "If they are
going to be big cheats and not give
what we deserve we'll quit" every
body would have lost their respect
for them But because they took the
hard knocks without whining every
body looks up to them. Every I'D"
is hard knock. These "D's" COM
bined make a great big hard knock
called "hunk." The way to evade the
hard knocks is to get to work and
study. We will receive hard knocks
all our lives and the thing to do is
to begin to endure them now.
Tho Freshman Edition of the Booster
AS you know the Seniors, Juniors
and Sophomores have all had their
turn at putting out the Booster and
opinion that its edition was by far
superior to the others. But being
Freshmen we know that it is the
unwritten law of all high schools
that everything the Freshmen do or
say must be termed "only an exhib-
ition of their greeness." So, because
we know it would be useless we will
not say what we think about this
weeks Booster.
Conversation between two new
Freshmen: Gee don't it seem funny
to be in high SCHOOL," "I'll say it
does" Don't it seem short compared
with grade school, tho?" "Uh, huh!

fore we're Seniors! Oh, BoyW
wont we have keen time next

can't hardly wait till Pm a Sophie

What Would Happen If Farm.
ers Went on a Strike.
Gallatin, Tenn.
Feb. II, 1920.

Dear Editor:
You will find check enclosed
for So %, for which rendw my
subscription, and also send a
paper to V. c, Burton, 257 Wash.
ington ST. Coalinga. Cal.
Now, | will attempt SO write
a few words to my old farming
friends Of the good old county of
Jackson.
As there is being SO much said
about the high cost Of living and
many strikes over the country.
We may ask then, if the people
had ever thought about farm
ers strike, and if they should
strike, if they did not think a.
bout it having a great deal to do
in bringing down the prices of
many things, that we have to
have in carrying on our farm
work. The time of year is now
here, when these things should
be considered.
The present prices of the farm
products is by no means on a
level with other products, and it
does look reasonable to me, that
the farmers should have some.
thing TO say in putting the prices
on what his farm produces.
If they should adopt the eight
hour day, instead of the near
sixteen hour day. then city peo-
pie would feel more like going to
work.
The farmers could hold out on
strike until they got good and
ready, for they can feed them
selves. If the cost of living is
too high now, how long will
lessened production effect. The
farmer has never cornered the
market, and if the city workers
expects the farmer to go on
feeding him. he ought to get
back to work, and make it pos
sible for the farmer to buy
cheaper, so he can produce
cheaper.
If this escapes the waste bas-
ket you may hear from me again.
With love and respect for
everyone in Jackson county.
Sincerely.
P. j. Burton.

NORTH SPRINGS HIGH Sc

FRONT--RECEIVES ST.
900 FROM STATE.

The Spring term of the NORTH
Springs High School opened Jan.
4. At the close of the first
month our enrolment numbers
close to 100. This is especially
gratifying, because of the fact,
that tuition ia charged.
The school is operated under
the management of a locaI
board of citizens. The citizens
pay the best salaries ever paid
teachers in Jackson county. with
the exception Of the Gainesborc
High. Tho hoard also pays all
incidental expenses Of school.
The deep interest shown by
the patrons of the school in edu-
cational affairs is bearing good
fruit. The State Rural School
Inspector has recently granted
one thousand dollars of a special
High School fund. to the North
Springs High for the purpose of
buying additional ground for
campus. and finishing the build
ing. When this money is spent
this will be the only school build
ing in Jackson county erected in
accordance with State specifica-
tions.
Boosting The Old High" is
everybodys business, and every

Two Literary Societies, Gallo
pean and Philiomathean, have

The two societies joined in

commemoration of the birthday

night Feb. 20. The rooms were
decorated with flags and school
colors. Light refreshments were
served at the close of contests
and program by the ladies OF
the community. while appropri.
ate music was rendered. An in.
formal half hour brought the
evening to a close. Over two
hundred citizens of the surround
ing community were present,
and showed their enjoyment Of
the program by their prolonged

Johann Sebastian Bach was
born in Eisenach, Germany III
1886. He was a famous musi-
clan, He also had a very fine
saprano voice and his father
taught him the violin. He used
to sing in the streets, begging
from door to door
He became an orphan when he
was ten years old and he went
to live with his brother, Chris
toph, at Ohrdorf.
When he was seventeen ne
secured his first position, but
soon afterwards was made Or
ganist at Arnstadt.
Batch's desire to improve HIM
self led him to walk over two
hundred miles to Lubbock to hear
the famous organist. Buxtehude.
He was a little too late to see
Handel, a very great musician
about Bach's age.
He was afterwards called to
Weimar as court organist and
violinist to the duke. He re-
mained here nine years and ad-
vanced greatly as a performer
on the organ and as a composer.
His next position was at Cath
en- where he gave particular at
tention to the claircord and harp
sicord. He also wrote music for
the violin, voice (solo and chor-
us) and for many different in
struments.
Bach was married twice, the
first time to his cousin Marie
Bach. She died in 1920 and one
year later he married Anna Will
