UNEMPLOYED IMPROVE
IDLE HOURS

The night school problem, as result
both of unemployment and the increased
interest in education following the world
war, has become a serious matter in
many of the large industrial centers.
School facilities are entirely inadequate
for the demand.
Men and women who would prefer to
60 to school in the daytime while they
to attend, but cannot be enrolled be-
cause of lack Of facilities. Many of those
attending night schools had had no pre-
vious education. Many more had left
school after completing the elementary
grades. There is a considerable percent
age, however, of grammar and high
school graduates, and some college grad
yates who are enrolled in all of the spe-
cial industrial and vocational training
courses.
Records of students attending night
schools even in periods of industrial de-
preston show practical results in in
creased learning capacity, in usefulness
as citizens, and in the greater happiness
and well-being of the individual.

AT THE PLAYHOUSE
"WELCOME STRANGER"

When a play contains not only
deep human interest in its principal
story, but also wealth of uproarous-
ly funny comedy, it is easy to account
for it's success. Such is the case with
"Welcome Stranger" which is an
nounced for the first half of next
week at the Playhouse, Wilmington.
When constructing his story, Aaron
Hoffman, the author of the play, Sc
lected for his central character an
humble merchant who wanders into a
small New England town one bitterly
cold New Years eve only to find the
principal citizens of the place far
more frigid than the weather. The
cruel treatment he received makes
him feel more kindly towards others
in misfortune and he befriends a
young girl who is fleeing from perse-
cution in her native town. He also
takes up the cause of an aged in
ventor, whose schemes have become
the butt of the town jokers. The in
ventor's talents are marketed, in
spite of the opposition Of the leading
men of the place and they make the
two rich. There is nothing selfish in
the nature of either and they make
the very people who prosecuted and
opposed them wealthy, also. There is
love story in the piece. What COM
edy would be popular without one!
In the hands of the comedian, George
Sidney, he is a character that one
loves from the first and is enough to
make a success of any comedy. There
is a spirit Of cheerfulness in the play
that is wholesome and good for the
soul.
Manager Sam. H. Harris has or
ganized a company of superior ex-
cellence for the Interpretation Of Mr.
Hoffman's play and among the play
ers are George Sidney, Howard Gould
Edward Snader, Ben Johnson, David
Higgins, Chas. I. Schofeld, John

Intended at first only for the use Of

Drinkwater was induced to take his
play to London where it ran for many
months in an almost inaccessible
suburban house. Frank McGlynn who
created the part of Lincoln in Amer,

which has played with him since the

AGRICULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES
IN hESH0DA COUNTY
By D. p. Mcwilliams. County
Agent

The 18th census Of the United States
on Agriculture OF 1920 gives approxi-
mately 359,O4O acres In Neshoba Co.
OF which 240, 0,694 acres are In farms
and we have 1OS, ,552 acres of improv-
ed land In farms an increase OF 2374
acres OF land improved since 1910.
The woodland in farms In 1920 to-
tailed III .027 acres, other unimprov-
ed land In farms in 1920 totalled 2O,-
lis acres. This shows that there IL
a great amount OF farm land that
land that can be improved when
time and opportunity come. and we
think and believe that the time IL
drawing near to hand when we
should begin to spread out and be-
gin to improve and develop this idle
land an our farms. 1 think one oi
the great mistakes Of a great many
farmers In Nesh0ba County, as well
as In any other counties In the State
make,i ,is that most OF land owners are
trying to carry too much idle aud
nnimproved land on which they on.
ly have TO pay taxes and do not get
any returns. Now where we have @
large farm and good per cent ol
this farm idle and ueimproved we
are having to pay a pretty large pei
cent on the investment without re.
cieving any returns and we farmers
should begin to realize that we can.
uOt operate a farm successfully nm.
der these circumstances. You viii
mot find very many merchants on
business men operating very long al
a time where they have to pay high
taxes and do not get any returns
So the farmer who is to br highly
successful in my opinion. must put
more business In his operations.

ginning towake up to the great op-
lportunity that lies within their
grasp, II they will develop the situa-
tion as it presents Itself. Most oI
YOU good farmers VIII agree with
me. that large per cent of your
land, the best soil on your place, Il
