End of School Year Approaching.


School is out for 10 glorious days.
After our vacation, there are only six
weeks left, in which we must work, work.
work, 50 that we may deserve the even
longer vacation which is coming so soon
The freshmen are looking forward to
the time when their first year will end.
and they can never more be called
'Freshies. The sophomores are antici-
pating the delight of being called upper
classmen" and of sitting in the main
room. The juniors are naturally looking
forward to their last year in high school.
or the year that they will be "Dignifed
Seniors" The seniors. well, some are
happy and some are unhappy. But all
the pupils in the class feel that these
last few weeks are the sweetest and sad
test of the whole year. They will miss
their teachers and their school more than
they can imagine, and, if they are moi
going to continue their education in an
other school, they will miss the routine
they have been following during the last
u years of their lives. But, as the ole
saying goes, @AIl good things come to
an end" SO, these II years of schoo'
life are ending and leading us to some
thing newer.
Let us enjoy this coming week of va
cation to our hearts content, but let u
not forget that there is only short time
left in which to prove that we are worthy
of the advancement that is soon to be
awarded US.

CUT AND DRIED BONUS ACTION

TEE senate is expected to pass the
bonus bill this week and it is
also the lively expectation of the ma.
Jorlty of that body that President
Harding will immediately veto their
action. This will remove the onus
Of the entire bonus action from the
eenate and transfer it to the White
House and as the president doesn't
come up for consideration at the
polls this fall, it is an ideal situation
for the Republican, candidates.
1t would be a most surprising
thing if Mr.. Harding should fail to
veto the bonus bill, however, and
leave it to the congressional candi.

stand or fall by their own actiou
II would serve the .vacillating sem
Ators and representatives. rightly if
he did this. The bonus bill has de-
generated into the worst political
football that hss., ever been kicked
about Legislative 5fhails andreven The
leaders in the American Legion have
not been free from the criticism that
they have participated to some ex-
tent in this game.

"Howdyw said he. May | come

Certainly" said Nancy with an
other bow. Come right in, sir, and
I'll tell my brother, Nick 90 Ting.
My Name is Nan Soy. Won't you
have some tea?"
Don't care if l doo," answered
FIap-Doodle, standing his wand, or
rather the Fairy Queens wand, in n
corner.
Just then Nick came in and they
all sat down and crossed their legs
in Chinese fashion.
Nancy and Nick looked at each
other and nodded. At last they were
about to get the Fairy Queens wand
they had come so far to find!
Flap-Doodle never suspected II

chop-sticks started to eat rice pud-

n Flap-Doodle, the fairy, singing,
and pretty soon he spied the little
Chinese house Nancy and Nick had
built.

back his ears that he'd been flying
with, and squirting his eyes. "Ill
have to take look at such an inter

here.

side of the house into lead or some
thing heavy. Then they'll fall down
out of the sky and | can have the
house"
Tap, tap, tap he went with bis
wand on the front door.
Instantly Nancy opened it, making
a graceful courtesy as she did so.
She looked so sweet and so strange
in her new costume that Flap Doodle
didn't know her from Adams turkey.

though, if he had known she was the

THAT SPECIAL SESSION.

III appears there is little enthusiasm
= for a special session of the Geor-
gia legislature and less chance that
the governor will callone. The state
is in. teh midst of political cam
psign and just what could be done
by any legislative body in session
here during the next few months is
call the new legislature into session
it seems, as soon as the elections
are completed and the new members
have qualified and this would be a
mulch better plan, than to recall the
present body and allow it to resume

the midnight session of a week ago.

OLD DAYS IN AMERICUS

In many of the stores, during the
rush hours yesterday the crowd Of
buyers could scarcely be waited upon,
tt was dollar day in Americas.
There were more people, more peo-
pie with money to spend on the
streets yesterday than in twelve
month. And maybe business will not
boom soon.
A farmer yesterday was offering
TO sell his farm or swap it for store
property in order to enter business.
Heretofore the shoe has been on the
other foot.
