Operetta at Edward Best On last Tuesday night the Gold Sand high 8chbol gave an operetta, "Heaqta operetta was fine. We admit that we didn't know Gold Sand had such good singers and actors, no. joking either. If they give it anywhere else, you take our advice and go to see It It Is worth the money and time. There were about thirty out to see it here, but they don't knoiw what they missed. We are sorry that some of the Gold Sand girls lost some of their valuables, and think something should be done to make the loss good. One of our girlg who la out for track reports the loss of part of her unl form, but We can't locate any of the lest articles. Cooper Recitation The ninth grade has been studying some of James Fenlmore Cooper's (work In English an we decided to have a "Cooper Recitation," friday April IS. James F. Cooper was the first Am erican novelist to gain a reputation In Europe. He was born In Burling, ton, N. J., but later moved to Qtsego, Lake, N. Y. It was there, surround ed by forests and in dally contact with the red men, that Cooper spent his early life._Cooper studied at Yale. He was not a close student and In his third year Was asked to leave the college. He Joined' the U. S. Navy. The first novel of Cooper was given by Btkel Hayes. After the age of 30, after Cooper resigned from the Navy and became a country gentleman in Cooper's town, it was a story of En glish society, of which he knew noth ing. The failure of this novel taught him the lesson that no one can be. come a good writer by imitating oth ers, and he turned to the scenes and adventures he knew. Berteen Harris told the story of The Deerslayer." Deerslayer was a hero just reach ing manhood. Deerslayer was loved bv ? beautiful wtrl wh? fell Iti Iata with him at her first glimpse. She also loved a true living God, but she loved Deerslayer the best. One night the two lovers crept out and went for a ride on the Delaware. The arw was captured by the Indians and Deer slayer saved this girl's life. After ali was quiet again he told this beau tiful woman "goodbye" aqd sometime' he. would come back and marry her. Iva Perry told the story of "The Spy.'1 It was during the Revolutionary War and the people had to give lodg ings to the soldiers of both ranks. But the housekeeper of Harvey Birch, the peddler wouldn't lodge a man and he went on up the road. Several years lager another war broke out. Wharton Dunavoodll was with his friend Mason, they saw an was killed.

There wert 16 that have read at least oneg>f thes* books. e e e Why 1 Want To Grow Up You somqtlmes hen/ people say "She thinks she's something since she's grown up." They dont know what they're talking about. A p ere or about ten or l)Meeo years ago was said to be grown up when she tied hei hair np about her oars, and a boy was grown up when he put on long trous ers. Today, you can't tell by these things. A girl of ten dresses as her grown-up sister, a boy wears the same style clothes his older brother. But they're all wrong. You can't tell when a person is grown up by his clothes or his suture. I read an Interesting article by a man who ought to know, about the topic "When is a person Grown?" This writer says that a person Is grown when he llnds out and puts to use the fact that we are heye for a purpose, that we do not have time for petty arguments and selfish desires and when we put ourselves aside for others. Now that's why I want to be able to do "thlngsTor other folia, for get my own selfish desires and de vote myself to the best of my ability, tn the task I am best suited for. This same man said hat he had seen people, grown in size, but in reality merely selfish children. One man was mayor of a town, yet In this man's mind he was far from grown. He sUted that he had seen younger people who were grown, but not In size. To become ggrown up doesn't take a day, but many years and experience has much to do with 1L A younger person can have the experience that would cause his brain to be grown, yet many times the person does not heed the warning or make good use of1 tug experience, a fiwtd _ jnBir person usually grows up sooner than any other person. -? ?? ? ? ? Introducing Fure.bred Seed Corn The young Tar Heel fanners of Edward Best High School have secur ed pure.bred seed corn with the help of Mr. M. S. Clifton, of - Loulsburg. We got the leading variety of each Cype. These are (1) Latham's Dou ble, (2) Indian Chief, and (3) Shoaf's Prolific. The plan made it easy for ua to get the corn. For each peck we get mow we pay two pecks, of field selected, hand-shelled seed corn next fall or rather say pay back twice aa much us you get We consider this a good plan for us to get good seed corn. Fhe oldbr farmers of the community aia Also get this seed corn, on .the janre terms. This will pay the com munity very much by helping to in :i ease the yield of corn. ? ? ? ? ? ~ Oar -.

"The Man With the Hoe" The Junior, class has been studying modern poetry this week. One of the most interesting poems studied was, "The Man with the Hoe," by Edwin Markham. This was Mr. Markham's first poem. He saw the reproduction of a world famous painting by Miller "The Man with ithe Hoe" This picture reveal ed so Clearly the life of the toller in the abyss that had lost al hopes and dreams that M takes to make a man, that Markham decided to write a poem to picture him as he saw fit. Edwin Markham was borgln In egon in 1862. He has been a farm worker, a blacksmith, a herder of cat tle and sheep, and a school teacher. His family were poor so he knew the pain of poverty when he was young. When Markham began writing be acquired much wealth from his writ ings, and then In later years he lost K. Markham also wrote many other poems, such as ."blncoln, the Man of the People,"The Shoes of Happi ness" (1914), and "The Gates of Par. adlse" (1920). Last year be was seventy-six years [or age, yet he was strong, undaunted, and It is said that he asked nothing better than that his end be dramatic During the recitation the poems wsi interpreted by members of the claaa I. was brought out that Markham had In mind a European laborer and no! an American. "Slave of the whee and labor" as Markham says of hln means, he no longer has a chance o an Individual, but Is made low by sup presslon. When there were answers comlni from the class to explain these ques tlons: "Who loosened and let ilowi hie brutal jaws?" "Whose hreatl blew out the HglM within this hratnT the student felt the same antagonist! spirit toward oppression of the poo that Markham had felt.
