"DEAcoN DuBss" PRESENTED

The presentation of the comedy
melodrama Deacon Dubbs" at the
Camargo Consolidated School last
Friday evening by the High School
was of such excellence that it de-
serves more than passing mention.
The least that can be said is that
the entire cast far surpassed any,
thing that seemed possible for mex
perienced amateurs. The packed
auditorium was kept in almost con-
tinuous laughter from beginning to
end at the clean and wholesome
comedy of the play and the excel
lent acting.
The title role was taken by Frank
Moss, who, in the old Yankee char
acter deacon Dubbs," would be
hard to equal among amateurs. His
voice, makeup and acting seemed at
times well nigh professional. Eliz-
abeth Davis in the part of the Swede
hired girl produced equally as great
a sensation as the Deacon. Mar
garet Oldham, in the typical old
/ maid role, with both eyes on the
Deacon" was all that could be ask
ed. Charles Campbell, as che bash
full hired man, much desired by the
hired girl, not only acted his part
well, but he "bane a pretty good
! lookin' Teller" also. Carrie Rose was
the little mischief maker and more
than delighted, while Rose Moss
could be just about as snobbish as
the worst ever seen in real life. The
serious roles-that of the little
school teacher and her lover Amos
were played by Miss Gillian Dan
lei and Freeman Tussey. Both were
naturally exceptionally suited to
their parts and captivated the audi
ence by the charm of their personal
tiles and Interpretation of their
roles. OF course, there was a vii
lain. Ellis Holly portrayed that
character to the genuine satisfac-
ton of all. The unusual and diff
/ ficult role of auctioneer was SPLEEN
didly done by Bradley Daniel, pupil
of the sixth grade.
All in all, it was said by many to
be the finest exhibition of work of
this kind ever done by pupils of
, the Camargo school and the whole
community is much elated over the
success of the entertainment, and
all have every reason to he proud of
their efforts.
Friday marked the close of school
for the grades, after very sue
cessful year. It has been the rec
ord year in the point of attendance,
interest and cooperation on the
part of the community and things
accomplished. The High School will
continue three months longer.

of ever selling breeding stock-just
to have good mixers and sell calves
as baby beef. Well, the neighbors
liked the purebreds better, and they
came and bought the surplus; still
doing it.
Notice we stress utility. If the
pedigree is fancy, all well and good;
but the individual must make good
on the utility basis. Foundation
stock has gone to four adjoining
states and to most of the counties
lying close without expensive ad-
vertising or public sale. Common
stock and culls are never priced as
breeding stock"

INCREASE IN OUR
PER CAPITA WEALTH

What considerations guided men
to the 2,673 per cent increase in the
wealth Of the United States during
the So years between 1850 and
1927
Our per capita wealth was esti-
mater at $3O7.69 in 1850. 1t was
estimated at $1,965 in 1912. There
has been a steady increase since
that time, yet the above figures
should be sufficient to reveal the
great increase which has taken
place and cause MS to pause and
ponder the principles which have
guided men to this remarkable
achievement.
If we analyze the situation care
fully, we will find that sound in
vestments have played a leading
part. Under the froth Of more con-
spicuous investments of a specula-
tive nature has been steadily grow
