Examination
The Seventh grade; from Buna
and the other schools in the dis
trict took their state examinations
last Wednesday. Many of the
students thought them easy, whi'.e
others thought they were hard. It
is hoped that a majority of the
students passed their work. Since
taking these examinations the
students have realized that the
end of school is nearing and are
studying more than ever before
in order' to have a firm fouuda*
tion for the four years of high
school work which are to follow.
The students of the high school
are looking forward with pleasure
to the time when the members of
the Beventh grade will become
students of the high schoolCEwry
one wishes them aH the btfst of
results from their examinations
and the best of luck in the fu
ture.

One child recited the poem, "The
Grapevine Swing", while another
swudg in k swing which was 011
the itage. One little girl recited
the poem "My Shadow and I" and
the^fetage was so fixed that we

TODAY and
rAITH . . . . . a Negro
I do not think I exaggerate
when I Hay that an old negro who
was buried the other day did more
than scores ol ministers and hun
dreds of churches to heln restore
thousands of Americans ttrtlreir
faith in God. The funeral service
for Richard B. Harrison, the ven
erable actor who played the part
of "De Lawd" in the play "The
Green Pastures," was conducted
by the Episcopal Bishop of New
York in the great Cathedral of
St. John the Divine, as a tribute
to the spiritual force that he. had
exercised in the last five years of
his life.
Cynics may sneer and agnostic
scoff at the childlike absurdity, as j
it seems to them, of the simple
faith of the negro as portrayed in
that play. But faith is not the
product of reason or oX logic; it
springs not from the intellect but
from the emotions. And few who
have ever seen "The Green Pas
tures" have failed to be profound
ly stirred.
I thought the Bishop's text
might well have beeri taken from
the 17th verse of the 18th chapter
of the Gospel "Of St. Luke: "Who
soever shall not receive the king
dom of God as a little child shall
in no wise enter therein."

'.MILLIONS ; . . two girl*
The matrimonial*' affairs of
America's two richest young wo
men are always first-page news.
Everybody is interested in good
looking young women and every
body is interested in millions. The
two in combination are irresisti
ble. ---7-1?
Barbara Hutton, the five-and
ten-cent store heiress,, has an
nounced that she is going to di
vorce herself and her 4 2 million
dollars from her Georgian prince,
who hadn't anything but a title
and good looks to trade for the
$50,000 a year she has settled on
him for life. I think both are get
ting a good bargain.
Doris Duke, with her 33 mil
lions of tobacco money, had the
good sense to pick an American
husband who has brains and abi
lity in His own right, who didn't
have to marry for money, having
plenty of it, and who is enough
older than his4 bride to contribute
the necessary worldly wisdom to
make their marriage a succest.
Knowing Jiirt Cromwell, I think
both of them got a bargain, too.
MAVERICK . . sans party
Old Sam Maverick, who signed
the Texas Declaration of Inde
pendence in 1846, has the rare
distinction of having had his
name becolne a common noun.. A
"maverick," as every western cow
man knows, is an unbranded steer.
Sam Mav?rick owned so many
head of cattle, and had so much
trouble'' during, the war between
the in hiring enough cow
boys to brand them all, that thous
ands of them ran wild, as did
those of many others. When the
unbranded cattle were rounded
up at the end of the war Sam Mav
erick was foremost in his claim of
ownership, until it became a com
monplace saying in TexaB that any
unbranded steer must be one of
Maveriek's. ' ,
The word came into other uses,
until it signifies today any persQii
who plays a lone hand and does
not run with the herd.
Sam Maverick's grandson. Con
gressman Maury Maverick of
Texas, lives up to tlrt definition
implicit In his name. He is one
of a little group in Congress, 35
of them, who have banded togeth
er to work for their own Ideas of
advanced legislation, regardless of
party orders. Of course, they have
been nicknamed "mavericks," and
the name fits.
I think there is a very useful
place in public life for mavericks
? for -men who refuse to be brand
ed with party tags.

SUGAR . , ' . - maple sap
Up in Vermont they are tapping
the sugar maples, five million of
them. The mid-March thaw follow
ing a hard Winter has started the
sap flowing all along the north
eastern border. Northern New
York has begun to harvest its
annual cr?p of maple sugar and
syrup, though Vermont still pro
duces more than any other state.
Around my own farm in the
Berkshires some of the neighbors
with large families still extract the
inaple sap, "bile" it down into
syrup and then, usually, into
mtiple sugar. .The old ".sugar
bush" of somewhere above 100
sugar maples, two hundred years
old and more, at the top of the
hill above my nouse, pastil been
tapped for a generation now. Hir
ed help costs too much to make
sugaring profitable, and my fam
ily doesn't run to boys.
I have to get my satisfaction out
of the sugar season by recalling
my own boyhood, and the fun we
youngsters used to have riding on
the ox-sleds that carted the sap
barrels down to the big iron boil
er. I probably wouldn't enjoy it
much now, but halt the happiness
of advancing years lies In remem
bering moments of youthful
ecstasy.

al condition of the'- individual <|
>ird and is not contagious. There

apses shoiikl he removed from

Question: When should Irish
otatoes he sprayed to control flea
eetles?
Answer: The first brood of the
eetles appear as the plants come
hrough the ground and the first
pray should., he applied at that '
ime*. This should be repeated in
bout two weeks for effective cOn
rol. .Two pounds of arsenate of
ead or one pound of calcium arse
iate added to the regular 4-4-50
Bordeaux Mixture gives best re
ults in the' control of both flea1
teetles and potato bugs.
Question: What causes objec
ionable flavors in milk and how
an they be prevented
Answer: Any . high flavored
eeds such as turnips or rye will
five milk an objectionable flavor
f fed during or shortly before
tiilking. For this , reason they
hould always be fed after milk

'() X TROLK LOW K It PESTS
WITH SI'K.VYS OK DUSTS
Contrary to the general belief,
nsect pests on flower gardens are
lot a necessary evil from which
here is no relief, says C. H. Bran
ion, extension entomologist at
State College.
Although there are a few peats
for which no satisfactory control
method has., been developed, he
points out, most them can be
eradicated by application of in
expensive sprays or dusts.
Sucking insects, which draw
their nourishment from inside tho
plant, must be treated with a poi
son that kills when it comes In
contact with their skin. Plant lice,_
aphids, thrips, and scale insects
fall in this group.
Chewing insects, which eat
leaves or small stems, may be
eradicated by a stomach poison.
When they eat the poison, death
follows in a short time. Caterpil
lars, leaf eating beetles, and grass
hoppers are among the chewing
insects.
For sucking insects. Hrannon
recommends a spray with. one aud
a half teaspoonful of nicotine sul
phate to a gallon of water,, or a
dust with a half ounce of nicotine*
sulphate to nirie and a half ounces
of hydrated lime.
For chewing insects, he recom
mends a" spray composed of three
teaspoonsful of arsenate of lead
to a gallon of water, or five tea
Bpoon8full of magnesium arsenate
to a gallon of water. Or a dust
may be prepared by mixing one
part of arsenate of lead with four
and a half parts of hydrated lime,
or one part of magnesium arsen
ate to three parts of hydrated
lime.
These mixtures are safe for de
licate plants and bright colored
flowers. Brannon says. Tougher
plants will not be injured by a
slightly stronger mixture of the
foregoing sprays or dusts.
