Do precious gems, especially dia-

ious influence upon mortals?
Opals have long been regarded by
many as harbingers of ill luck and
nearly every precious stone has some

behind it.

The Public Speaking Class is now
entering upon the most arduous part
of this portion of the years program.
This consists mainly of the various

and Lillian Flahaven, Secretary. Mrs.
Richards was selected as class advis-

friends.
Mrs. Lindstrom spoke to the Junior
Assembly last Friday on the subject
of India. The talk was most inter-

tiveness of all the students.
About forty of the High School
students have signed up for declama-
tory and oratorical work. They are
all working very faithfully trying to
outwit one another in their speaking

RUBY BASS CELEBRATES
BIRTHDAY WITH PARTY.

Ruby Katherine Bass was a
charming little hostess ct pretty
party Friday afternoon AZ her
home on Earl street, celebrating
her tenth birthday.
Many interesting games were
played during the afternoon, after
which the guests were invited into
the dining room where the color
note of yellow and white was eff
fectively carried out. The dining
table had-for its central decoration
a wicker basket filled with sun
flowers and ferns and on one end
of the table was a pretty white
birthday cake holding ten tiny yell
low candles, designating the age of
the hostess. The little girls cut
the cake for the birthday symbols,
the unlucky number, Is, being cut
by Dorothy Walters, which means
she is surely to be an old maid.
Late in the afternoon, delicious ice
cream and cake, carrying out the
color scheme of yellow and white
were served.
Many useful and attractive pres
ents were received, attesting to the
popularity of the young hostess.
Those invited were Rachel Park

field work being done, the crops
are in poorer condition than any
where in the county. But even
there many fine crops may be seen
the condition being what Texas
cotton growers call spotted with
good crop here and a poor one
there.
Il was much gratified win the
energetic manner in which farm

against, however. That is the dan
ger of letting up in the poison
campaign too soon. It's Just like
refining in racer within sight of
the wire. Too much good work
had been done, and too much real
money has been put into the crops
around Americas to allow this to
be wasted-and to abandon pois-

Some farmers have the opinion
that hot dry weather kills the wee

of weevils that will first find their
wings about that date will cover
the fields everywhere, and it be-
hooves the wise farmer to get
ready to receive the newcomers.
When the migratory weevil reaches
a new field, the first thing done
is to lay a few hundred eggs, pune
turing the squares and destroying
the squares. Be ready with the poi
son, and when a weevil punctures
a square, let that be his last one.
