Fishing This is Tuesday, and you’re ’Sposed to have your Bulletin dope in today; Afld the guy that runs It told me to write About fish For this issue; And when it comes to Fish I ain’t got a word To say. Fish Don’t mean nuthin To me; I don’t eat Em—they taste So fishy, like Some of these ^all player’s Sattin’ averages; '■ N how could a that don’t Own a fishhook about f’ish some of these “'rds that think he guy they’re talk- ^ to is as dumb s the fish they ketch, call ’em bass y trout— a trout didn’t \vits enough keep a big guy like ^owart from ^*'®aking up on him! when I was a Y,''’’ an’ didn’t know ^^tter.

Sunk ’em by hand on the Far side after The company left; And it occurred To me that Fish Were unnecessary; And I was sure Of it after eating Shrimp salad be cause it was pink. And some ice cream be cause it was pink. And all night My stummick leaped Like a hungry Kangaroo On the way to Greasy Pete’s Cafe, An’ I had About as much use For that shrimp As the whale had For Jonah; and When anyone says Fish— My motto is: Let ’Em Lie!

We were particularly glad to have him with us, for several good reasons: He is a South ern educator, and student of modern methods in education; he is a soldier who did his bit at Chateau-Thierry; and mainly, he is the man chosen for super intendent of our schools. We can assure Mr. Williams that Hadin will give him a sincere and cordial welcome, and fullest co-operation in the vital work of training the fme lot of children that are here. Miss Mildred Spencer has returned from a visit to friends and relatives at High Point and Asheville. Mr. Kemper Martin has gone to At lanta, Ga., to visit relatives and friends. The Fourth in Badin (Continued from pag« i) Hi/.7.ell came second, winning ten admis sions to the picture show. The greased pole must have been well lubricated, for it afforded much amuse ment to the onlookers. King, with per fect ’stance and approach, won. A small boy in the gallery was heard to remark. "That fellow’s feet would fit a limo, but he was probably mistaken. Leander, when he swam the Helles pont, had nothing on Richards, who by virtue of crawl, trudgeon, or some other stroke also got across, and now does not have to confine himself to hurried chats, as he is able to film the fair one and use the result to make the hours alone less lonely. (Note—as the camera was a vest-pocket model, he does not take it on swims.) In the tilting contest, the combatants were armed with padded, lance-like “spudds,” and before the object devel oped were seriously credited with having designs on an apple orchard. Sancho P. Neubling and Don Q. Daniels won, after a valiant jousting. Ivanhoe Moor man was disqualified by an alert judge for using his hands. Tough luck, Ivan; but you shouldn’t have been so grasping. If there be a local Diogenes, he was homeless for awhile, as all the tubs in the village must have been in the lake. The competitors were in and out of the tubs—largely out; but Robert Harris, whose hands are like paddles, success fully negotiated the distance and won. The canoe tug-of-war was most stout ly tugged. It was won by King and Tysinger. The waterplane stunt, with the grace ful poses of the contestants, the Adonis like curves that the cute bathing suits accentuated, was the close of the aquatic events. The prize for making the dis tance in the shortest time was awarded to Joe Taylor. At the Ball Park, after lunch, the fun again commenced, with Dick Richards in charge of the events. Wagner must have borrowed Mer cury’s wings, for he won against a fast field in the one hundred yard dash. The “Talent” had picked Neubling or Hoff man to win, but as said above the Long Shot romped home under wraps. Some of the couples in the three-legged race must get along like Maggie and jigjfs—as their nether extremities seemed to resent the “Tie that Binds.” I won der if Rice and Neubling, who won, are trying to wear the neckties around the same neck. Someone yelled “Here comes your Ma,” and young Melton won the one hundred yard dash for boys before he could look around and see she wasn’t coming—several of the others ran off the course in the excitement. Bpb Vann got the second prize. The elusive potato was finally spooned by Earl Linster, who while he wobbled a little bit cleared up his row quickly. Several of the amateur gardeners were
