High School Graduation is Insurance
There are always vicious schemers
who rob ignorant people of their hard
earned savings.
In Boston in 1920 schemer by the
name Of PonZi robbed ignorant people
Of millions of their savings by promis-
ing them fifty per cent, dividends in
six months.
He told them that he was able to do
this because Of the way he purchased
and resold exchange" in Europe.
If any high school graduate invest
ed in thks fake scheme he did it in the
hope that 1t would not burst up until
he had got his investment and big
dividend back. He was never q believ-
er in ii. He knew better. But there

1t was more than Colonel White
could stand. and in an unguarded mo

fellows tackle that job. They did and
loaded Il thousand horses in eight
hours. With the same skill they trans
ferred lumber from cars to ships. The
results was that the colonel could not
get his men overseas for six months.
High school graduates can tackle no
end of Jobs and learn to do no end
of things successfully because they
have studied successfully a variety of
subjects that never came their way
until they were in the senior high
school.
This is why all of the professions, all
financial and commercial establish
ments, all literary and journalistic OPP
portunlties, and all desirable ppitiohs
in the industries prefer senior high
school graduates. They have the ex-
perience and equipment which makes
it easy for them to learn how to do

High School q Great Social Force

everything in nature art and science.
The high school tends to intensity
anyone's appreciation Of beauty in sun
sets, in scenery, in parks, in drives. in
grounds, in buildings, in furnishings,
in decorations, in paintings, in sculp-
ture, in draperies, in games, in form
and feature.
A hign school graduate, other things
being equal, gets vastly more out Of
life through beauty than one does who
has not had such training.
If it were possible to put cash
value ON such things, it would be easy
to demonstrate that a high school edu-
cation makes millionaire of anyone.
A man of vast wealth bought for
his home the rarest of paintings. one

The high school gives a student an
opportunity to discover what he can
appreciate Even If he does not carry
the appreciation on to artistic heights
it does let one know what he can APP
preciate and can start him on the road
to higher training in appreciation,
1t is an old story Of the hen that had

Now the nigh school course offer
many new opportunities for young
people to discover their appreciations.
The real glory of the high school is
that it is the beginning Of so many

New appreciations make new life

COoK.HAMILToN.

Within the sacred precincts of her
home, Miss Rachel Hamilton was
married yesterday afternoon at $3.50
to Mr.. A. B. Cook, of Sumrall, her
pastor, Rev A. F. Fogartie, of the
Presbyterian Church, officiating.
The lovely young bride is the eld-
est daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Hamilton and was born and reared
in our city. After graduation at
the High School here she won her
diploma at the State Normal College.
The groom is the son of President
Joe Cook, of the State Normal and is
cashier of the Bank of Sumrall.
The two young people are admirably
fitted for the new responsibilities of
their lives together and inspire all
good wishes and congratulations
from their hosts of friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Cook left after the
ceremony IN car for McComb
where they took the train for New
Orleans. Mrs. Cook wore a going
away costume of midnight blue trim
med in gray fur with all accessories
to match and was an ideal bride in
the loveliness Of her youth and hap
piness.
Out Of town guests were Mr..
Joe Cook, father Of the groom. and
Mines. Dampeer and Wilcombe,
aunts of the bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton presided at
a pre-nuptial dinner on wednesday
evening at which only relatives of
the families in Broolxhaven most in
terested were present.

The Disarmament Conference.

The Disarmament Conference will
meet Nov. IL. Interest from citi-
zens and organizations should be
pouring into Washington to the end
that the Conference serve it's pur-
pose. Letters, kilograms and mes
sages may be addressed to the Presi-
dent or Secretary of State. The
people do not want to remain in a
world hardened with taxation and
bleeding from the wounds of unnec-
essary wars.
Out of that Conference should
come direct and definite result.
The people of the whole world must
want an association of nations for
the preservation of peace. We want
to think, talk and act in terms of
peace
The will of the people must con-
troll the Conference. The question
will not be whether or not the ma
tions are going to disarm, but how
best to effect disarmament.
The glamour of military prowess
has disappeared with the scientific
0r mechanical devices that have rob
bed the battle field of heroism and
personal sacrifice in nobly fought
contest War is a scourge now
where men lose their individualism
and are moved down in masses by
blasts of poison or other devices like
vermin. 1t is an unnecessary visi-
tation of crime and death. 1t is a
plague.
The world. as little as you may
incline to believe it, is drawing
nearer to Peace and Good Will.
We will not arm ourselves to
show our love for our neighbors at
home or abroad. We want to be
associated in the bonds of peace
with all nations.
