FINE SCHOOL ESSAYS

TN connection with the long article
/ The Transcript gave on the Public
School, with illustrations picturing the
officials, teachers and students, we
took much pleasure in giving three
fine essays on the very important sub
ject of "School Attendance. These
original papers were written by Harry
Roberts, Caroline Fouracre and John
Pool, and are in every way highly
creditable to their young authors. The
Scribe paid them the compliment of a
careful perusal, and his encomiums are
therefore not perfunctory but based
upon the facts.
The language and matter are both
excellent, and not only do honor to the
student writer's themselves but to theil
teachers also.

THE FARMERS SHARE

business will never run right in
- this country while great classes of
the population fail to get their share OF
prosperity. Prices of farm products
are to-day somewhere about Is per
cent. above pre-war figures. Mean
while the cost of manufactured pro-
ducts is around 60 to rs per cent. above
pre-war figures. Business will never
be permanently good, until these two
conditions are equalized. Either fac
tory prices must come down, or farm
prices must go up, and it does not make
much difference which. When the gap
is bridged, you will see business jump
ahead like dog let out Of leash.

JAMES |. FOUNDED GOLF CLUB
Oldest Organization Of Kind In Eng

tlnuouo Existence.

London.-The oldest golf club In
the world, founded in 1908 by James
4. Of England and vi. Of Scotland,
is still used today at Blackheath, the
home Of the Royal Blackheath club.
This club was established 127 years
before the Edinburgh Burgess Golnng
society, and 146 years before even the
Royal and Ancient club was formed.
The course at Blackheath today Is
similar to what it was when James
and his cronies went there for exer-
else. The course consists Of seven
holes. which have to be played three
times for a complete medal round.
There are no awe-inspiring bunkers.
and the hazards consist Of iron rail-
ings, lamp posts, nurse maids and
children.
The clubhouse is a museum Of his
toric treasures relating to the game.
and there is a set Of clubs 200 years
old. In the collection is an iron club
more than four feet long with head
as big as a two-handed battle axe.
Ancient traditions are maintained at
club dinners, members wear their red
coats. and there is betting on who will
sneeze most when the old snuff box is
passed about.

Weird Minor Key.

New Orleans-Due to the inroads
Of modern machinery, the shrimp
Dance" one Of the picturesque bits of
routine that for years has marked the
work on the shrimp-drying platforms
along the Louisiana south coast, this
year goes into the lumber room of
memories to join other quaint customs
Of bygone years
Machinery hereafter will "chuck"
the sun-dried shrimps.
To the tourists who have ventured
down into the wilderness of, low-lying
marshes, where the shrimp platforms
gather in the cargoes Of the trawlers,
the shrimp dance" has ever been a
colOrful memory.
Boiled in salt water in great copper
vats, dried in the sunshine to rubbery
resiliency, the shrimps have been swept
up into huge circles in the past years.
Then, while guitar or banjo or accor-
dion walled and plunked a dancing
strain in weird minor key, the husky
platform workers, hands on hips, have
shuffled over the circular piles OF
shrimp. Beneath their tread the brit
tie shells cracked into fragments.
Following the dance the pinkish
shrimp meat was shoveled through
great screens, the brittle shell frag-
ments falling through, while the piles
of dried fish we're packed in barrels.
The shrimp industry in Louisiana
has grown to greater proportions
than Is generally known. During the
season Of 1920, 20,716 persons were
supported by the industry, more than
$1,OOO,OOO were invested in shrimp
fleets, and the catch was listed by
government officials at 2895O,OOO
mounds

How Better Than Pills :?

The question has been asked. In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills q? Our answer is, they are
easier and more pleasant to take and
their effect is so gentle that one hardly
realizes thatit is produced by medi-
cine. Then, they not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion.
