* ' V * TURLINGTON GRADED * K * * SCHOOL NOTES. * * K wtm ? w ^ ^ ^ ^ w ? ^ ^ ^ w m ^ ? ^ ^ W ? m ^ We are glad to hear that Prof. H. B. Marrow has succeeded in obtain ing one Lyceum engagement for Smithfield this spring. William Jen nings Bryan and the Berkeley Sex tette who are to fill this engagement, are coming sometime in April. The date is to be announced later. The Berkeley Sextette, in connection with its engaprt ments at Salem College, Winston-Salem, the State Normal at Greensboro, and A. and E. at Ral eigh, is to be in Smithfield the first part of April. They are a well known sextette and arc probably the most advanced type of Entertainment Or chestra in the field today. They make classical music interesting and Kive popular music a new charm. Or chestra numbers, readings, songs, in strumental solos, and costumed selec tions make up this thoroughly pleas ing program. The costumes are numerous and costly and the company is distinctive and different. Williams Jennings Bryan, in con nection with his lecture ut Fayette ville, will be here for an afternoon in the latter part of April. It was impossible for Mr. Marrow to get a night engagement, owing to Mr. Bryan's busy life, but we will be glad to hear him any time. Mr. Bryan ne<?ds no introduction to the public as he is one of the best known Amer icans of his day. The subject that he is discussing this season" is "The War Situation and the Problems to be Wrought out in the Coming World Peace." We hope that the people of Smith field will come and enjoy these enter tainments and clear the way for fu ture Lyceum Entertainments. I). B. jr. The chapel exercises on Monday morning were very good and were en joyed by all who were present. The first grades held the exorcises. Miss Myatt and Miss Bailey have gotten up a lot of excrciscs which we all liked, and we hope that they will do it again. The program was rendered as follows: A Child's Prayer ? Mattie Lee Grimes, Worth Matthews, and Atlas | Johnson from Miss Myatt 's room. The Wee Little Birdie ? (read in conversation) by Worth Cotton and Elizabeth Aycoek from Miss Myatt's grade. Song ? The Awakening ? By all of Miss Bailey's grade. The Dramatization of Story ? The Best Children ? Virginia Broadhurst. Margaret Peterson, Lucy Utley, Mary Lou Gordon, and James Wellons from j Miss Bailey's grade. Song ? A Valentine ? By nine little boys and nine little girls from Mis3 Myatt's grade. Mr. H. L. Skinner was a visitor of the school on Monday morning and we were glad to have her with us. We welcome all visitors and hope that in the future they may visit us more frequently. M. E. L. o On Monday morning Mrs. Skinner told the school children about a play which the Woman's Club is getting up, entitled "Fi-Fi in the Toy Shops." She wanted a great many of the boys and girls to help. We have been prac ticing a few days now and the ladies seem to be pleased. We want all the people of the town to come to the play. M. L. A. Our school is coming on nicely in the purchase of Thrift and War Sav ings Stamps. We hope to have two thousand dollars worth within anoth er week. The grades have amounts as follows: 1st.

The Seniors purchased 300 invitations which contained the class motto, class roll, class flour and class colors. ? M. L. A. ? ? o On Tuesday night, March 5th, Sergeant John D. Beveridge of the Canadian "Fighting Sixtieth" spoke at the court house to a very large au dience. ?His speech was especially en joyed by all the high school boys and girls and we hope he will come again. A. L. We were glad to get a letter from one. of our old school mates, Dixon Hood and to know that he is still thinking; of us here. We are always glad to get letters from the former pupils of old T. G. S. We hope that he will write to us again. The following letter shows how much he appreciated his teachers and enjoyed his school days here. It also shows that he is interested in athletics. This is important because it is an essential to good health. The other members of the tract team which he mentions are Dixon Wallace, George Sanders and Robert Oliver. K. I). C. o Kinaton, N. C. Feb. 2<i, 1918 Dear Boys and Girls of the T. G. S. High School: ? "The Smith field Herald makes me want to be back again with you all. It m:ikcs me feel proud of "Old T. G. S.," to see the progress that she is making. It makes me want to be back in the old senior room where I spent my last days at school. "I can see before mc as if yester day the boys and girls in the senior room, and Mr. G. T. Whitley, our faithful mathematics teacher, trying to explain a problem in Algebra to some fellow with a thick skull. "A^ain I think of our "Track T'.'am' that always won; but the boys that were in the track team are all scat tered now, no two in the same place. One in Richmond, Va., one in old T. (J. S., one a nephew of Uncle Sam; and another trying to sell a bottle of pat ent medicine to some fellow that don't need it. "I believe the greatest record that T. G. S. has ever made; and the greatest hoi*ur is that she .furnish, d a larger percent of nephews for Uncle Sam than any High School in North Carolina. "iMay the school continue to mova upward and onward, and may she send out boys and girls with knowl edge sufficient to take their places in the world as she has always done. "Your old schoolmate, "DIXON B. HOOD." o Wednesday afternoon the Smith field High School Basket Bull team played Donaldson Military School in a game of Basket Ball. The score was 25 to 15 in favor of the Smitr field team. Donaldson: Sears, forward; H.itch kiss, forward; Lonon, center ;Lingan. ffoai-d; llutaff, guard. Smithfleld: Ives, forward; Gordon, forward; Peterson, center; Parrish, guard; Wallace, guard. There were quite a number of visi tors over to see the game and we are sure they all enjoyed it. ? L. E. W. o Last Friday night, March S), 15*18, The Pomona School from the San ders Chapel District gave a play at the school by the name of "Heart and Diamonds." It was enjoyed by a large audience. A .minstrel followed the first part. T. G. S. got one fourth of the piofits which will help pay for the Victrola. Pomona is a line school and they should be encouraged by this play. ? M. L.

He \\Tas later trans ferred to Camp Sevier where he is a member of Company E, 105th En gineers. The Labor Problem. Wherever we go we find people talking about the scarcity of labor. Naturally people will talk about nny i;utstion that is pressing upon th?m at that time. But our farmers had as well make up their minds to the fact that the labor shortage is going to be felt more and more as the war goes on. What we wish to call our readers attention to is this, each in dividual farmer can materially assist the solution of "this labor problem," as they termit, in four ways: 1. By sowing down more land tc grain and putting more to pasture. 2. By using improved farm tools. 3. By utilizing the boys, the older men and the women to the best ad vantage. 4. By working one's self. We must not be bosses alone, but put our hand to the wheel and do all we can. One thing is greatly in our favor along this line, there never was a time when we can secure such returns from our own labor. There are thous ands who would like to make money farming, now, if they could secure one to do the work. This serious time in our national history calls for every individual to get to work and do his best. The conditions now will test your resourcefulness. They will call out what of management there is in you. ? Southern Cultivator. Dr. Edward Everett Hale's advice to the young people of his time was, "Every day try to meet someone wiser and better than yourself." "Some young people of our day," comments an exchange, "seem to think that this would be an impossi ble task." ? Onward. High Titles. In the opinion of Gladstone the three highest titles that can be given to man are "Martyr," "Hero," and "Saint." ? Kind Words. Elizabeth Chapin, Lyndon Jordan, George Ragsdale, Roberta Turner. Tenth Grade ? John Grimes, Cherrv Gurley, Thelma Peedin. Eleventh Grade ? Margaret Pou, Ruth Cotton, Elizabeth Cotter, SadU Puckett,? I. E. P. A PATRIOTIC CALL TO THE YOUNG BOYS OF AMERICA. (Contributed.) The year of 1918 is one in which every person in America is called upon to do his or her part to win the great war which is now raging in Europe. The winning of this war is the thing of greatest importance to the civilized world. There are a great many things devised, whereby every person has an opportunity to do his part in winning the war and saving the lives of our soldiers. The three essentials to the winning of the war arc, Men, Money and Food. The Government is getting the men by the Selective Draft System just as fast as they can be trained and trans ported. But for Money and Food the Government must be entirely de pendent upon the people of the nation to furnish these. t Mr. Hoover is looking after the food proposition, but there is no man in the world who can make it a suc cess unless the people themselves fol low out his program. To send food to the soldiers we must economize in our homes and back up Mr. Hoover. Money ? The Liberty Bonds, the War Savings Stamps and the Thrift Stamps are the methods devised to raise the required amounts. But the people must buy or it will surely re sult in failure. These causes have been presented to the people from time to time, but there is no method of pursuing a cause equal to the per sonal. The Government of the United States realizes that this service can be efficiently rendered by the Boy Scouts of America, going from house to house getting the people to sign pledge cards, and to buy a certain amount of Stamps. For this purpose and other patri otic services the Government has ask ed that the boys of the Boy Scout age join the Boy Scouts of America ai>d do patriotic work for the government. It is said that a good Boy Scout in America will save the life of a soldier in France. "Every Scout to save a Soldier." There are now nearly 300, 000 Scouts in America. The Govern ment is anxious to increase the num ber to 1,000,000. This is a call to you, whoever you are, if you are between the age of 12 and 18, to volunteer. This is a call to the mothers and fath ers of the boys of America to en courage your boy to join the Boy Scouts of America. Are you anxious to save the life of a soldier? Then join the B. S. A. If a soldier's life is lost because your boy fails to become a scout, are you willing to assume the responsibility ? ROY ALL SCHOOL NEWS. Mr. Robert Higgins, principal at Royall, spent Saturday night and Sun day with l is home folks. Misses Zellie and Lissie Woodard, of Progress school, spent Saturday night and Sunday with Misses Mollie and Octavia Thompson. Messrs. Carl Hines and Leslie Toler, of near Goldsboro, spent the week-end with M ssrs. Willie and Millard Fail, and were callers in the Thompson neighborhood Sunday afternoon. There was an entertainment at Mr. J. W. Thompson's Saturday night and all present reported a jolly time. Messrs. Daniel Thomas Oliver and David Peedin, of Pine Level, were visitors at Mr. S. M. Howell's Sun day afternoon. Miss Lenona Lynch, of Progress, visited Misses Cliellig and MaTtna Thompson Saturday night. Misses Genettic and Bessie Wood ard, of near Princeton, visited Miss Octavia Howell Saturday night. The farmers of this section are very busy now cutting stalks and getting ready for farming. ? C. A. T. Money in Seeds. We are glad to say our farmers are now increasing their incomes by hun dreds of thousands of dollars by growing and selling staple seeds, such as cottonseed, corn, wheat, oats, vel vet beans, cow peas, soy beans, and peanuts. But ihey have just begun to realize the amount of money annual ly spent for seed and the prices now being paid for them. Think of tur nip seed selling for $1.75 per pound. You see our supply used to come from England. Take the common sor ghum seed, the seedmen are asking around $6 per bushel for them. Any farmer can make money who will grow the staple varieties of sorghum seed and advertise them. Farmers every day are asking us where can I buy this or that variety of sorghum seed and we can not tell them. For a wide awake farmer, the seed busi ness is a good one, for one who will keep the varieties pure and get a fan ning mill so as to clean them proper ly. ? Southern Cultivator. Doing a little better today than yes terday, a little better tomorrow than today, that is the way skill is gained in ?ny line. Ambition that will not' drudge is poor stuff. "Pegging away" is the secret of success in everything, and especially in Christian living. ?
