IN BACK YARD GARDEN

Wednesday, ROGUE Senez
brought to our sanctum a cabbage
desiring an opinion as to it's cham
pionShip. After casting our eagle
eye over the said cabbage we had
to admit that it was the largest we
have recollection of viewing. This
cabbage was grown by Mrs. Geo
Alexander in the family's back
yard garden and it weighed full
eighteen pounds. Recque was pre-
pairing to send it to Paul Senez at
Houston for the family's Sunday
dinner.
Back yard gardens are some in
stitutions this season. Their value
is more highly appreciated than
ever before.

prepared.
The decorations were carried
out beautifully by the lOth grade
home management class: Misses
Willah Mae Tabor and Olive ScoS-
gins. The place cards were decor
ated with gates hand-painted IN
the rainbow colorS, which are the
seniors colors, under which was
written their motto "HonOrs Wait
at Labor's Gate" On the back was
found the class roll. The table was
lovely, being adorned with a large
basket of the class flowers, sweet
peas. On the mantle above the fire
place was the rainbow, the class
emblem of the sweetpeas in all the
class colorS, which had been care
fully prepared by the tenth grade
girls. The rainbow cOlOrS were
even carried out in the cake so
that when it was sliced, all the
Icolors were visible.
Mr.. Mitchell acted as host. MIR.
Annette was a guest. Each told OF
their school days experiences and
inquired as to the seniors futures
and found that some will COM
plete their courses before becOm-
| ing lawyers, farmers, teachers;
business people and some home
economics" Mr.. Annette gave ad-
vice to the class and a little talk
on the advantages of education
which was very interesting and
inspiring.
This was the first time the new
dining room had been used. 1t
proved to be one of the best parts
of the school for this occasion.
and was beautiful with the extra
decorations.
After the luDcheon, all three
classes, teacher, and MesSrs. Ar
nette and Mitchell took kodak
pictures on the school campus and
| of the new school building. The
seniors feel honored being the
| fret class tn graduate in the npu,
building and were proud to take
pictures of it. Some effective pic
lures were taken of the graduates
and teachers with the pretty rain
bow of sweetpeas and boquets of
their class flower.
The seniors could not express
their appreciation to the extent
they wished and it will remain to
their memory for years to come.

WONDERFUL CAST IN
DOUG'S' NEXT PICTURE
Secures Unusually Talented Stars
to Portray Great Characters.

One cannot help but marvel at
the exceptional strong cast that
Douglas Fairbanks has gathered
to support him in his latest United
Artists production, "The Mark of
Zorro" an adaptation of johnson
McCulley's novel. "The Curse of
Capistrano" that appeared serially
in the "All Story Weeklyp maya
zine recently. This picture will be
the feature attraction at the Audi
torium Thursday, June End.
AS this highly interesting story
is practically a deviation from
those previously attempted by Mr..
Fairbanks in so far as the locale,
plot, time and customs are con-
cerned, he has successfully striv-
en- and collected a cast which has
been specially adapted in playing
their respective parts.

WORKING HIS WAY THROUGH

Years ago the chap who worked his way through college was considered sort of seven days wonder The lct that he shook down furnace at night to pay for his room rent gave him in the eyes of the world stand :ug similar to that which Presidential candidate used to acquire by having been born in a log cabin If in od utim Go his evenings performance at the furnace he
 waited ou table at a student boarding house for hs meals il was admitted that some day this young man would get into the Presidents cabinet That however, was before tabc-waitue and flmacc-shakug became SO popular

 The point is that if amy young man or woman consid- OPS a college education of sufficient value o be willing ,o rut in anywhere from one to four hours day at re-

 professor in the Chicago academy of fine arts made some good news matter lately when he publicly stated his professional opinion that homciness among women ha developed to the point where ninety per cent of them are homcy, and that the process is still going on. The average woman, he said, relies personality makeup and cothcs rather than on beauty. Well the women who beard of certainly did not agree with him.

A SOPHISTICATED POLICY

Announcement that friends of thc late Franklin K. Lane have raised fund of $lOO0OOas memorial to the former Secretary of the Interior the income to be paid to his widow during her lifetime is a reminder of the niggardy compensation give our public servants.
 During the last 10 years of his life Mir. Lane was en- gagged in the government service, having occupied two positions of great responsibility As member and chair man of the Interstate Commerce Commission he made am extraordinary record of usefulness displaying qualities ihat would have commanded a large salary am eXecu tive in private enterprise He received numerous offers of positions that must have been exceedingly tempting not only on account of the financial consideration but because they presented opportunities to become leader the world of business They consistently refused After a distinguished period of service at Washington Mr. Lane finally found it impossible longer to refrain
 from making provision for the financial future of him self and his dependents and resigned to accept atac live business position And then shortly after occurred
 his lamentcd death He had not had time to acquire a competence Now his friends have found it necessary to provide a fund for his widow
 There is much to be said for the British system whereby men who have rendered distinguished service to inc State are not only adequately compensated during their term of office, but provided for lbcray upon thci retirement when necessity arises.
