Freshmen to Give Huckleberry Finn Plays come and plays go; some are good, some are bad, but there has nev er been such widespread interest in any play as that displayed in the; forthcoming production of “Huckle berry Finn" which is to be offered at the High School auditorftim on De cember 10 by the Freshman class. Based on the famous novel by Sam uel Clemens, Mark Twain to you. Huckleberry Finn” has achieved world wide importance. Born in Hannibal, Missouri. Mark Twain is distinctly an American product. Thereby lies his greatest charm, for he invented a type of humor that is decidedly Ame rican! In Mark Twain’s day there were no comic strips of young boys such as "Skippy” and the like. When he first announced that he was going to write stories about children his friends thought he was mad. “We don't see anything funny about kids”, they advised him. “Better not try it.” Twain hesitated for awhile. Per haps the advice given him was good and oug£it to be heeded. One day he was visiting some friends of Scotch descent and the head of the family en tered the house dressed in kilts and in full Scotch regalia. This man’s nine year-old son rushed up to him and pasping his Dad’s hand, inquired loud •’ “What are you dressed like that for, Dad, and where are you going?” on my way to Sandy MacTavish’s house. There’s to be a meeting of the clan, the lad’s father replied. The ! ‘ttle boy ran to the door of the kit chen and yelled out to his mother, Oh, Ma, come in and see Dad. He’s dressed up to go to a meeting of CLAMS and there’s going to be a CLAM BAKE!” Twain let out a screech of delight o p -d hurried home. His course was decided upon. He WOULD stick to is original ideas and write stories in "hich children figured prominently, i the celebrated novelist had lived he ould he one hundred years old by ow. Unfortunately he passed away wentv-five years ago at the ripe old p ce „ of seventy-five. “Huckleberry was mos t successful novel n the play that Roy F. Lewis has .

Today’s Church Message By REV. J. EVERETTE NEESE. WHICH DIRECTION? The new almanac that I got down street the other day says that there are four directions toward which one may turn—north, east, south, west. I ask, is this true? Well, we generally accept it as a truth anyway. Now, if that 'be true, in which di rection is God? For that is the direc tion toward which I want to turn when I pray. Now, for the answer, let us hear R. Park Johnson: “In which direction shall I turn to pray At start of day? f Toward some far Mecca? To east, or west ? Oh, which is best?” If Christ you seek, let no such queries fill Your mind. Be still. Walk fearlessly in whatsoever way Life calls today. Christ walks on every path; his foot prints stand On every strand. Once Traveler on Emmaus’ road, to day He goes your way. “He came along the road, and as he passed I stopped and asked If he would journey on with me. He turned And then I learned. “That He will never go, whoe’er I be, My way with me; That I must go, though faith be bright or dim, His way with Him.” Wife Preservers To enlarge your bridge table for parties or bridge dining, ’ make an allover top of hardboard to fit over the smaller table. Small wood strips cemented to the hardboard act as guides to keep it from sliding, and this type of top will not be injured by hot dishes or water.

Farmer Wants To Know Why Pickled Beans Have Odor i tally Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Dec. 4—The Department of Agriculture, all its officials and hired help, are exercising their collective wits to find out what makes a certain farmer’s pickled beans smell so bad. The farmer doesn’t know and has written the department to find out. What’s a Department of Agriculture for if it can’t give just such services as this? Louis H. Wilson, publication head of the department, displays the letter and asks all and sundry for aid in solving the problem. Here’s the letter: “My dear Sir: “I want to know if you can tell me what does make ouer pickle beans smell so bad, as we youse to pickle them and they were good and smelt all right. • ' “We put them in a clean 4-gallon jar after they were cooked, and cared for them asyousal. We cooked them and dreaned off the water like always but they have too bad a odor. They are solid and firm, look well and all but the sent is too much. . Yours truly.” Then there’s another correspondent who wants a “pit bool dog.” He writes: “Want to hear from some one hoe has got a pit bool pup for sail.” And another who, it seems, should be writing to a matrimonial agency rather than to the Department of Ag riculture. Says he: “Wanted: A nice good woman to in motherless home. Work with children, two boys', 2 girls. Must know how to cook, be kind to children.

Address: Farmer.” SOIL PROGRAM AIM IS TO HOLD PRICES, _ ■ -I , Would Avoid Necessity of Farmers; Mining Fertility Out of Their Soil by Crops Dally Dispatch llui-cntt. Ia the Sir Walter Hotel .Raleigh, Dec; 4. —Maintenance of farm prices and income at a fair so that farmers will not be forced to mine the fertility out of their soil by overcropping or other unwise use bf the land is one of the principal ainrM of the 1938 agricultural conservation program. *> If farm commodity prices are ruin? ously low, farmers tend to overcrop, the land in an effort to make up in quantity of production what they lack" in unit price, E. Y. Floyd, Staee AAA executive at State College, declared today. ’ On the other hand, if prices are' abnormally high, farmers tend to mine the fertility out of their soil to get as much cash as possible. ;; Under the pinch of low prices and reduced income, farmers virtually are forced to overcrop their soil year after year, Floyd explained. They do this because their fixed charges do not go down when the prices of the commodi ties they sell drop. The practice in some farming areas continually growing cash crops with rarely a;, compensating soil-building crop in rotation, or as a cover crop, has so reduced the fertility that it jLs impossible to farm this land and main tain a fair standard of living, Floyd declared. v Fluctuating fairm and in stability of farm income have pre r yented many growers from making necessary improvements and carrying out soil-building practices badly need ed by their land. When prices are high, millions of acres of grassland are plowed up arid seeded to cash crops along with mifc* lions of other acres not suited for thfe purpose. All of this is done at the ex pense of the soil. The ultimate lOsS; Floyd said, due to erosion and fertility taken from the land usually exceed? the money obtained from the crop'/ By setting up acreaage goals for each crop AAA officials hope to get. cooperating farmers to plant jqsfc enough of each commodity to supply actual demand conditions.
