air was palmer than words. But
here was one who breathed sym

how to look his best in moonlight
His moonlight manner was now
turned upon Peggy to the full. Her
eyes wavered and dropped.

But what was the difference e

but no sign Of a purple fairy could

Coach Robinson has made public
the 1922 Mississippi College schedule.
This schedule contains 80 games and
tour after exams. 1t is easily the
best in the history of the college, not

strength of the opponents, but also
by the large section Of the country
represented by the opponents.
The schedule includes games with
representatives of every southern
state east of the Mississippi and south
of Virginia, not to mention games
with the Chicago White Sox, st.
Louis Browns and Philadelphia Ath-
letics.
The feature of the schedule is
undoubtedly the 14-game trip thru
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Ten
nessee, South Carolina and North
Carolina, which will begin on May
IL, Immediately after final examina-
tions, and which will extend until
May 20, with the final games with
the Mississippi Aggies closing the
season. The schedule in this imme-
diate section is for Mississippi Col
lege to play the Louisiana State Uni
versity at McComb on April 28th.
The same teams are slated to clash
in Brookhaven the 29th.

Miss Barge's Recital.

A pianoforte recital of unusual in
terest was that given by Miss Hazel
Barge, graduate of Whitworth's Con-
servatory, in the hampton Auditor
ium last Friday evening.
Miss Hazel Barge is the youngest
of the three gifted. daughters of Mr..
and Mrs. T. c. Barge of this city, and
gives every promise of equalling her
sisters, Misses Elsie and Frances, in
their high musical attainments and
successful careers.
Her entire education in piano mu-
sic has been received under the in
struction of Miss Elizabeth Mcvoy,
director of the Conservatory of Mu-
sic at Whitworth. Like her sisters,
she graduated at the local High
School before specializing in music.
A large audience of admiring
friends of the young pianist attended
the recital and enjoyed her exquisite
rendition Of numbers by Won Weber,
Schubert, Liszt, Grieg, MacDowell,
and Friml. In Won Weber's "Con-
certstuck; Opus 79, Miss Edith Lipp
played the orchestral part on Sec
ond piano.
Miss Hazel's appearance was
charming and her acknowledgment
Of the enthusiasm evoked by her
playing very gracious. Many flow
ers and expressions of congratula-
ton in other forms were carried up
to the young pianist after the per-
formance.
Friends are interested in learning
that Miss Hazel plans to continue her
musical studies in Chicago, where her
sister, Miss Elsie, will be an instrue-
tor in the Chicago Musical College
next session.

Bible Class Growth
Rapid at Boealusa

Bible classes in the First Metho-
dist Church at Bogalusa thru their
rapid growth Of the last four months
are bidding against the lumber in
dustry for fame in Col. William H.
Sullivan's town.
DR.. E. C. Gum took charge of the
church in November, 1921. At that
time there were twenty members of
the mems Bible class and about
twenty-five members of the two wo-
mems classes. Today there are 148
members of the mems class and 1875
members of the women's classes. The
men are seeking a goal of 200 men,
bers by Easter Sunday.
Colonel Sullivan is member of
the mems Bible class. The new Mrs.
Sullivan, late Miss Ella Rose Sal
men Of Sildell, will take member
ship in one of the women's classes,
it is probable. Colonel Sullivan takes
great interest in both the church
and the Sunday school.
w. G. Flanders is president Of the
mems class and A. Tredick is teach
er Of the class. B. D. Talley is SUI
perintendent of the Sunday school.
DR., Gum, the pastor under whose di-
rection the church has made rapid
strides, was state chaplain of the A
merican Legion prior to taking
charge of the Bogalusa church.

following proclamation:
To the People Of Mississippi
Government is called upon to per-
form no higher. duty than to give
each citizen an opportunity to earn
an honest living. The problem oi
caring for the unemployed is one Of
the really big American questions
At the present hour the American
Legion is doing a most commendable
service endeavoring to organize the
entire nation to such a state of eff.
cheney that every veteran of the re-
cent war may find such employment
as will enable him to live and care
for those dependent upon him. The
national headquarters Of this organ
ization is calling upon the president
Of the United States to issue pro-
clamation setting aside American
Legion Employment Day.. 1t is com
municating with the national head
quarters Of the United States Cham
Der of Commerce, the Rotary, Kiwan-
is, and Lions Club. the Red Cross, Y
M. G. A., Y. w. C. A. knights Of
Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board
Salvation Army, etc., to pass the
word down to their local units tc
cooperate with the councils and
posts Of the legion.
I am sure that our farmers and
business men are in need of compe-
tent help These boys are not afraid
to work and am calling upon each
citizen to cooperate with the nearest
headquarters and to give them such
cooperation as will enable them tc
place every available man. The boys
are entitled to first consideration and
! am sure our people will give 9
hearty and prompt response to this
message.
Therefore, in order to give the
greatest possible publicity and help
/ am glad to join with the officials
of this nation and all organizations
who have kindly consented to aid in
this movement and / hereby desig,
nate and set apart March 20, 1922
as American Legion Employment Day
and commend 1t most sincerely to oul
entire people.
