Boys Hi-1

The boys Hi-Y of the Pearl River
County Agricultural High School,
has made much progress in the past
month in decreasing profane Ian
gauge and the use of unclean habits.
The Hi-Y, we are sure, does not
seen to be very much to people. Why?
Because they do not know much about
it. When your boy or girl has the
privilege of being d member of some
Hi-Y club, watch them when they
come home, and notice the changes
that has been made.
Being a member of some good Hi-I
club, is an opportunity that every
boy and girl should long to grasp.
Il means much for one to get things
out Of the work. that he could not get
any where else, and the best ideals
are so instilled into anyone that ne
will never depart from their teachings.

Poplarville, Miss,
Dear Ed:
/ came to Poplarville the first of
September to enter school at the
A. H. S. | went out for football and
luckily made the varsity team.
Well, our schedule was arranged
and it called for several games out
Of town. All of these trips with the
exception Of one, were made in arto-
mobiles, which used the "Veivet Gas
oline"
The result is we were always there
on time and full of "The Ole Pep"
Why? Because we nevar have had to
stop on account of car trouble and
therefore our team always worked on
the gridiron just like the "Velvet
Gasoline" worked in the cars which
took us there.
We are undisputedly the State
Champions so is "That Velvet Gas
oline.'
Me for it always,

DESERT RAILROAD To
ORDER FOR PRESIDENT

Salt Lake City-(A. PA forty
mile railroad over the desert between
Lund and Cedar City, rushed to COM
pletion in 81 days at cost of 81 ,049, :
900, was one of the incidentals in the
recent reception by the state of Utah
to President Harding.
On April 2, last, the right of way
men, acting for the Union Pacific rail-
road, secured possession of the needed
ground for the construction of the
railway from the Salt Lake route
main line at Lund to the entrance of
Zion National Park, and on the same
day the first scraperful of earth was
turned on the grade.
The contractor strung his men out
in sections and as fast as a section
was completed, the track-laying crew
took possession and the ties and rails
were set in place. Crowding upon
their heels was the ballast crew. And
so the work was rushed toward
Cedar City erecting poles and string
ing the lights along the railway
track and the station yard.
The superintendent of the work
rode into Cedar City on a pilot train
ahead of the presidential train and
met his yard foreman, who was just
finishing his second continuous "a
hour shift that week. He was
covered with dirt and CRIME and a
half-inch growth of rough beard
bristled on his face The superin-
tendent prevailed upon him to get
cleaned up and take little nap be-
fore the president arrived. The man
dragged himself into a car within 500
feet of the spot where the presidents
special was parked" and slept so
soundly that he never even saw the
highest executive.
During the construction of the new
branch, ballast trains bringing gravel
were given right of way over every
other train on the Salt Lake route
main line The biggest days output
was 119 cars. In the 81 days nearly
one-half million tons of gravel were
hauled an average distance of 100
miles
