EDWARD BEST DYNAMO Lucille Stokes and Loo Ella Plnnell It Is to Lucille Stokes, Louisburg, N. C. R. 4, .that we should go and ask how to have perfect attendance year after year. Lucille la now attending school .the sixth year without baring missed a day from school or without harlng been tardy a day. Not only does she come to school, but she Is a real student The fact that she.Is In the 10th grade, at the age of 15 years, shows that she has a purpose in coming, and .that purpose Is to acquire an eduoatlon and to form good habits while she Is young. Loi( Ella Ptnnell, Castalla. N. C., R. 1, age 15 stands next highest In the number of years attending with out harlng missed a day from school. This is the third year during which she has kept that record. The class mates of Lucille and Lou Klla recog nise in them these qualities: perse rerance. earnestness of purpose, neat ness of work, carefulness and thoulghtfulnese In dealing with class mates. Lucille did not find It easy to get to school erery day when she was In the grammer grades, because she had a longer distance to go and be cause truck transportation was not I awsllshle; howerer, she was nerer i tnrdy eren then. She has only one more year to keep the record and she will hare gone through three years grammar school and four years high school wtth a perfect record. The encouragement and sacrifice which the parents of these girls glre them are Important factors in help ing them hare perfect attendance.

SOLD FROM ALAMANCE The hum of the ensilage cutter le heard In Alamance County this fall and truck loads of rich milk leave dally for the larger markets.

The largest crop of hay ever produced is being stored in well-built barns and pas ture lands for summer grazing are receiving attention. In 1920, ^he re was only one silo in this tplangle.
