AIbrecht Is Hailed
As True Sportsman
Championship Medal Awarded
Him Last Spring Is Turned
Over to a Classmate.

Bernie Albrecht, a tackle on last
years High School football eleven,
who was awarded the medal given
the best athlete in the Senior cless
upon his graduation by the Alumni
Association of the High School, has
demonstrated that besides being a
fine football player, he is a true
sportsman. The medal given him due
to a mistake on the part of leaders
of his class and the heads of the
High School, has been turned over to
George Fields, the selection of Direc-
tor of Athletics Emory Helfrich as
the best athlete in the 1922 graduating
class.
When the members of the class as
sembled for the last time in the spring
to receive their diplomas, and the
honors due them for work we'll done
in classes and athletics, they were
almost struck dumb when the medal
for the best athlete was given to AL
brecht. None was more surprised
than the winner himself. Albrecht,
after thinking the matter over, had a
conference with Mr.. Helfrich, and then
sen the honor to Fields, to whom it
rightfully belonged.
Such craftsmanship should be TAX
en- as a model by all those who take
part in athletics ip the High School.
All members of the class of '22 are
proud of Albrecht, and the stand he
has taken in the matter.

According TO estimates given u by
the American Federation of Labor at
that time there were between 5000, 0OU
and 5000. 900 w~age-earners out of en-
ployment when the Republican ad-
rhnistration came into power March
4, 1921. This industrial depression
began early In the summer Of 1920.
The immediate problem before the Re
publican party was the return to nor
NAL conditions.
The underlying cause of industrial
depression was the prostration of agri-
culture brought about by the radical
curtailment of agricultural credits by
the Democratic administration The
American farmer buys 40 per cent. Of
all manufactured products. His des-
perate circumstances compelled indus
tries to curtail production and turn
men into the streets. The Republican
Congress Immediately restored agri-
Couture to a healthy condition. The
farmer entered the market again as a
buyer of manufactured goods. The
ranks Of the unemployed began to
decrease. e
At the time the coal and railroad
strikes we're called there was a great
er demand for laboring men than there
was a supply.
One of the most important contribut-
ing factors to the improvement of the
unemployment situation was the early
enactment by the special session of
the Republican Congress Of the re-
strictive immigration law. This was
demanded by the laboring people of
the United States. It's enactment pre-
vented the incoming of hundreds OF
thousands of immigrants who would
only have increased the ranks of the
unemployed and added to the indus
trial distress. The previous Repubn-
can Congress had passed a similar law
but 1t was vetoed by President Wilson.
The Republican administration came
into power finding the burden Of taxes
very heavy. The working man had to
bear his share. 1t was essential to

A very pleasing song-story, entitled
MARY, the Doubter's Daughter" was
rendered on Sunday evening, at st.
Johns Methodist Protestant Church,
by the pastor, George w. Toms, Jr.,
and the Choir, with Virgil C. Toms
at the organ. 1t was finely rendered,
and the musical numbers were given
exceptionally well, and all present
voiced their appreciation of the ser
vice. The story covers the doubts
and final salvation of a prosperous
farmer by the name of John Brittle,
and as the story unfolded, it was of
such stirring interest, that it held the
rapt attention Of the goodly number
present.

ME Merchant

Do you realize the importance of getting your adj
vertising copy prepared early?
You know our old friend Parocrastination. He's a
cousin to the cows tail.
Why follow, when you can lead?
Supposnga all your customers left their shopping in your
store until an hour before you were closing up at night,
what would happen? You know. 1t would make great
confusion, you couldn't give service and your customers
would leave the store dissatisfied.
Well, in a way, that's what you often ask the news
papers to do. You wait until the ninth hour to prepare
your copy, and when it reaches the office you expect the
oompostors to do two hours work in one.
1t can't be done.
The result is that your advertisement is slapped to-
gether in great haste, with chance for errors and with
out proper display. 1t can't be otherwise.
Stop that old habit of putting off till the last day, the
last hour and the last minute to send your copy to the
newspaper office.
Get it out early when you have time to think and
prepare it properly. Then send it to the newspaper
office two or three days ahead. That will give the news
paper time to prepare your advertisement properly.
You can see the logic of it 1t will mean better ads,
better service and better results.
That's what you want. That's why you advertise.
Give the newspaper a chance.
Apply the Golden Rule.

WANTS VOCATIONAL

said.
IF vocational work continues

iof the year in this branch is the
project work on farms. Six
hundred records were kept on II
different farm projects showing
the cost of production on Oil IL
acres of seven different farm
crops and 6,531 head of different
types of livestock. The net cost
of production was SIS ,6S9.50 and
the. net profit was $27, 729. 20.
while it is felt that these figures
are rather high, we believe the
value of record keeping in the
business side of farming cannot
be too strongly urged" said the
report.
A total of e all day classes and
one evening class IN home eco
nonics were under the supervis-
on of Miss Betsy Madison, home
economic supervisor in the de-
partment. Special aid was given
to Is other schools which have
not qualified for financial aid
from the state.
The supervisor urged that more
schools be encouraged to adopt
approved programs; that schools
be required to put on the type of
program recommended by the SUI
pervisor and that no contract be
approved for aid until the super
visor has visited and checked the
school on questionable points.
