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

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.”

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

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.
