H. SHULER, Principal, Thanksgiving Dinner . Part of the Junior Girls were de lightfully entertained at the home of Miss Hattie Evans Thursday' with a Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone en joyed the 'dinner to the fullest ex tent. ' Those present were: Misses Lola Duvall, Jewell; Passmore, Madge Sel lers, Mattie Lou Mease, Faye Cherry, Laurie Jarrhtt, Norma Price, Carrie Hope Johnston, and Wendell Pass more. After dinner we assembled into the living room where We talked and ate apples.. Afterward Miss Beulah Penland and her cousin Evelyn Penland and Robert Penland came. Afterwards we all adjourned home mid reported a good time. - Mias Gene Johnston returned Sun day from Waynesville where she was e ntertaxned during the holidays at a house party given in^hohdr of her and several of her class' mates, by Mr. and Mrs. Z. W.'Curtis of that place. • PAT PRICE EDUCATION? Fq itball looms large in the inter fthe nation. It is associated with our institutioins of learn is conceded the lelader Of both in college and high leads to a speculation as to dive position of the country’s ahd its education. Education very life of the nation—sports hue. The former, lkie our watef and air, is taken for granted and almost* considered routine; the latter is dramatic, impulsive and full of robtion. W4 are not belittling the value of Sports in the life of people. We recognise their unifying influence in our (t stitutions. It is a healthful sign When our citizens grow in their lov for outdoor play. There is a tendency, however, to "indulge in these exercises and sports purely by proxy. It is a fact that the nation’s ex penditure for spectacular sports makes the outlay for education look insignificant- We have recently com pleted the World Baseball Series approached a million and a quarter gate receipts; our last big prize fight, two million dollars. This latter figure is but a fraction of the cost of t^e fight when the ohter expenses of |he fans are estimated. The Amefican public paid this price for a tw® man combat that lasted a total of tfepafey-nipe minutes, -Ahd. yet in Oils country we spelid hut a bilfion and a half dollars yearly to train twenty-three million bpys and girls for a fight that lasts an average ap proximately thirty-nine years. There is another angle to tnis viewpoint of relative values. A mid dle western metropolitan newspaper sold 50,000 more copies the morning lifter the Dempsey-Tunney fight than it did the morning after the election November 2nd. Sport news is, there fore, looked upon as a matter of great importance by the newspapers, and, based upon public demand, nat urally so. As a specialized subject it increasingly outranks the space of any other department in the day’s news. When Corbett-Sullivan fight took place in 1892 a newspaper not overly devoted to sports printed more than seven columns about it during the two weeks immediately preceding the contest. In 1923, for a like period previous to the Demp sey-Firpp battle, the same paper need thirty-eight columns. In the Demp. sey-Tuturey fight this year, the same ! paper used ninety columns. > ['•' ’'No process of thinking can lead us to conclude that education has gain ed a corresponding emphasis. Nor will it, until we have a‘ shifting of demand ort the part of the public. We believe id the manly art of l self-defense. Our conception of the greatest self-defense, either for the individual or the nation, is education, •ft costs-less and gives more; : SWEETWATER (By J. Harley Palmer.) ; The writer stoped in to see Uncle Elijah Smith last Sunday and I aid glad to report a great imporevement jn his health. Uncle Elijah will soon be 81 years old. Mr. and Mrs. Grady Palmer and Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Davis visited Mrs. Q. H. Sanderson Sunday. . Mr. Carl Smith has arrived home from fort Bragg, N. C., where he is stationed in the U. S. Service. He wiil stay until after Christmas. f Mr. John Curtis filled his regular appointment at the home of W. R. Palmar Mst Sunday. IS I® APPEARING The results in this paper two Weeks ago was not 'According to the hog feeding plan. Under the hog i feeding plan these weights are taken | every five weeks but being over anx ious about th results we made this weighing two weeks ago. Oh Decem ber the 1st, Prank Chambers five weeks period was up and these are the results. He fed ten pigs weigh ing 325 pounds the following feed and made 270 pound gain, or in- J Creased the Weight of his pigs to 595 j pounds. The feed used $4.00 worth ^ of fish meal, $4.00 worth of shorts, two bushels of com meal and six J bushels of corn. This com at $1.00 per bushel would be $16.00 and the cost per pound gain six cents hut ‘corn is selling at seventy five cents, ] figuring corn at seventy five cents J his gain cost him five cents per [pound. This would mean that every 'pound he put on his hogs he got six cents profit figuring his hogs in April neting his eleven cents per pound. In Other words he sold 13 bushels of j com for over $2.00 per bushel. \ On Thursday Mary Weaver weigh ed his pigs the original weight was | 281 pounds for eleveitn pigs. The weight at the end of five weeks was 661 lbs., iwhich is a gain of 380 pounds. His hogs had consumed $6.00 worth of fish meal, $6.00 worth | of.qhorts and .thirteen bushels of coin.' "The cost per pound gain was six cents figuring his hogs in April at eleves cents per pounr on ioot he had sold thirteen bushels of corn for $27.00 when Ed Crawford was buy- i ing all the com he could pay for for seventy-five cents per bushel. The second item to notice is that mark fed his hogs one-third more feed and made 110 pounds greater gain and received the same pay for his feed leaving him an extra profit over Frank’s prifit on the extra gain he made. I am sure this is the way to sell corn. In selling com it must be profitably- supplemented or you can \ I not get this price for your com.
