The little play, "Pierette's Love
story" given by the dramatic club
fon Saturday evening was very well
received. When the curtains open
ed, living room in which there
were two lovely dolls sitting near
the fireplace was seen. The clock
and Pierette walked up and danced.
They hear the steps of their mis-
tress outside the door. Miss Carolyn.

had just been to a dance with the
most wonderful man in the world"
who however, does not consider her
the only girl in the world She
looks at her dolls and asks Pierette
what she did TO make Pierrot love
her so. Since II is the hour be-
tween three and four. Pierette can
talk. She and her Pierrot con-
sent TO play their love story. Pier
rette was fairy, Pierrot. a mortal
who could not even see her. One
day she was bemoaning her fate
when Cinderella's fairy godmother,
Miss Louise Marvil, '26, came 10 her
aid. The godmother gave her some
fern seed 10 throw in the eyes OF
Pierro to make him love her when
Pierrette promised that they both
would be willing 10 become dolls
when Pierrot was about to die. Just
as the clock was striking four, Pier
rette threw some fern seed 10 Caro-
lyn. 'The dancing OF Pierretts, Miss
Evelyn Spruances 90. and Pierrot,
Miss Betty Snyder. '26, was espe-
cially pleasing After the play there
was dancing until ten o'clock.

Crooks went over as a Y. MICA. |

Crooks was sent TO the Portuguese
soldiers since he was one OF the few
secretaries who spoke that language. !
The pictures or the life of the PoEu- |
guese soldier on the firing line were |
very interesting. Pictures OF the 1
shell town Villages where the soldiers
were quartered brought back wildly |
the picture OF the terrible need that
must necessarily exist I'm parts OF
France and Belgium. The Portu-
guese soldiers were hard fighters and |
kept their portion of the
front which was next 10 the English
front. They were pathetically thank
full for tho little things which the
Y. NJ. c. A. secretaries could give
hem. Before the Y. NJ. c. A. sent
men TO the Portuguese front the
men had no methods OF amusing
themselves. The secretaries taught
hem how 10 play games. When
hey first started baseball. the men
INSISTED on hitting each other with
he ball. The loss OF the Portu-
yuese in the war was comparatively
great. DR.. Crooks went back 20
PORTUGAL with his men after the
var There he was decorated by
he Portuguese government. The
Portuguese are really a ruined ma
ion. They also firmly believe that
he United States can step in and
make everything right IN the world.
As yet the United States has been
lble TO do nothing for the little
country which entered the war; a
year before the United States enter

why did they die? These are questions
that are of the utmost Importance to

because in knowing their answers, and
in taking the commonest precautions

Keep Weevils Out
Farmers Should Watch Wheat
Closely

To the Editor of The State:
We have noticed in the wheat
coming to our plant the presence
of weevils, and we want to call the
attention of the farmers, through
your columns, to this menace.
We can not make good flour from
weevil eaten wheat. and it is very
necessary that the farmers use pre-
caution to keep the weevil out.
Constant summing Of the wheat,
the use of air Stacked lime or treat
ment with bisulphide Of carbon are
the threeepractical methods of pre-
venting or eliminating weevils
from wheat. We consider the hi
sulphide of carbon treatment the
surest plan. This material can be
obtained from the drug store or
from us. We have had some Of our
customers tell us that they put
tobacco leaves among their wheat
and ran the weevils out. We nave
some confidence in this and it may
not be amiss for farmers growing
tobacco to try putting a few cured
leaves in their wheat. 1t does not
injure the wheat.
1t is very important that the
farmers begin at once to keep the
weevils out of their wheat. as two
or three weeks work by the wee
wills can materially injure the quail
ity of the -four and the turnout.
You will render us a favor and
at the same time the farmer a
favor to call his attention TO this
through you paper and in advance
for this courtesy we thank you.

NEWS AND
VIEWS OF
PISGAH
John T. Duncan. the Star
Comedian of the Campaign,
Does Not Amuse Core
spondent

Pisgah, July SIT must be q
matter of extreme disgust to every
nice person to listen to the trades
of John T. Duncan in nearly every
election for governor. He knows
by experience that he cant be
elected and yet he continually
comes out for governor with his
disgusting talk. Mcleod, Blease
and Laney conduct themselves
properly and people can take
their choice as to whom they will
support. The time is past when
intelligent people Will be Influenced
by such men as Duncan. They Will
vote for the man they want and
that ends it. The large enrolment
in the state shows that at last the
voters realize their duty to vote as
the northern people do. Forecast
and reports of this man winning
and another losing ground or will
be defeated aren't worth a peck OF
corn cobs. Cox said he would
sweep the country over Harding.
The people know who won. An
other healthy sign is that every
senator, brother Democrat and
Republican, that wanted the league
of nations and voted for it has
gone down in an overwhelming de-
feat. Good Poor coat-tai1-
swingers of Wilson. they are to be
nitied. Washington'S good advice
is still needed.
The extreme heat Of the last
few days has been terrible on man
and beast. Crops are whitening
under it, whether it will help to
kill out the boil weevil I don't
know.

A very interesting and unique
celebration was held in our city a
few days ago. 1t happened that a
grandmother, and four mothers.
and four children had birthday an
niversaries coming very close to-
gether. and it was decided to have
one united party in celebration Of
all OF these birthdays. The party
celebrating the joint birthdays was
given at the home Of. Mrs. s. f.
jenkins.
Those who participated in this
celebration and whose birthdays
were jointly conamemorated We're:

and the following children: Misses
Thelma and Eloise jenkins, daugh-
ters of Mrs. c. 3. Jenkins, Thomas
and Edwin James, sons of Mrs. j.
T. James. The following guests
were present and enjoyed very
greatly this delightful and un-
usual entertainment: Mrs. Roberts

ter Mooney, Catherine Wilder.
Frances Wilder, Mary Alpert, Mar
garet Bradford, Margaret Thorne,

Gather Shaw, Frances James,
Bernard James and Burgess Jen-
kins.
A feature that added very great
" to the uniqueness and attrac-
tiveness of this. party was the ar
rangement of the candles and the
display OF birthday cakes. Each OF
the couples had separate cake
and each lof the four children a
separate cake with all Of varying
colors but consistent color scheme
Of green and yellow prevailing. On
these cakes there were burning
simultaneously four hundred and
ninety-eight candies which repre-
sented the aggregate Of the ages OF
those whose birthdays were being
observed.
Delightful refreshments of punch
cake and cream were served. Al
together the celebration was an
unusual one and proved to be very
delightful.
