practieed this now for for the last
three years, and / have practically
no bell weevil this year.
The reason we are having so many
boil weevils in this country now IS
that the farmer is too much on the
fancy stuff and don't burn enough.
We can eliminate the boil weevil il
we resort to the old method Of burns
ing off the grass in the spring in
stead of blowing it under, and burn-
ing cur stumps and cotton stalks
instead of blowing them in. Burn,
burn, burn, for fire will kill the bug.
Pardon me, but "too much fancy
farming infested the boil weevil."

Commencement K
WEEK OPENED BY
BISHOP L.W. BURTON
"RecOnciling Liberty and Law" Was
Subject Of Masterful Address BY
the Rt Rev. Lewis W. Burton
Before Graduating Class.

Commencement week was opened
Sunday evening at o'clock at the
High School auditorium with the an
nual class sermon which was deliver
ed by the Rt. Rev. Lewis w. Burton,
Bishop Of the diocese of Lexington,
Protestant Episcopal church.
The auditorium was filled and lis
tened to one of the most masterful and
timely sermons delivered here in some
time. Bishop Burton took for his
text Gal. 5:13-14. For brethren, ye
have been called unto liberty; only
use not liberty for an occasion to the
flesh, but by love serve one another.
For all the law is fulfilled in one
word, even in this: Thou shall lovt
thy neighbor as thyself."
Bishop Burton plainly established,
through an interesting and logical
argument, that while one obtains lib
erty in the various worlds, the gain
ing Of that liberty entails new duties
under Interchangeable laws. He left
with the graduates watchword:
"Love-Serve."
The musical part of the program
was especially beautiful. A choir
composed of Mrs Alfred Peed, Mrs.
Wallace Rees, Miss Millie Caden, Mr..
w. Hall Strobe and DR.. P. G. Smoot,
rendered several beautiful anthems.
Miss Elizabeth Barbour was the pian-
list.
