The Dinner Pail Man.
Mr. George L. McNutt, known as
"The Dinner Pail Man", delivered an i
itf'.'iress at the chautauqua Saturday;
r.ight on "War on Hunger." Mr. Mc-
Nutt's lecture brought to mind seri
ou thought on some of America's 1
nvst important problems of the .
luur. He told of an experience he (
had in getting a job once, and after ;
the employer had called him inside
he asked him one of the hardest j
questions it has ever been the lec- j
turer's lot to answer "What can you
i
do?" asked the employer. Mr. Mc- j Lattimore; V.'ahoo No." 13u Lawn
Nut: dwelt upon this one question. j alo. A good delegation is expected
-What can you do?" Being very from eacn of these tribes,
i.-uch startled by the question, the The Improved Order of Red Men
speaker said to the employer, "I'm . jg one of the best fraternal orders in
not afraid of work, and I can stay
sober." He was hired.
Then Mr. McNutt related some of
the things that bad been done, and
some that remained yet to be done.
"The world is benefited more by fool
noys than all the philosophers that ; the present time there are about 123
ever lived," he said. A fool boy con- j members in the tribe with more ap
ceived the idea of electricity, tele-; plications coming in each meeting,
craph, wireless and other means ofjSo let not forget the date of th
revolutionizing the world. "We make j district meeting and make the first
a fool of people in one generation
"and build monuments to them in the
next" said the speaker.
He told that Edison was even now
working on an invention so delicate
that he could communicate with the
spirit world very easy. "Oh you
may laugh and call him a fool" said j
the speaker, "but other secmingiy Address of welcome by O. M. Gard
impossibilities have been laughed at ner.
just as much." Responded to by Col. R. S. White.
Mr. McNutt gave a phrase in this i Quartet Marvin Blanton; E." L.

we were worrying about yesterday." j Order of business.
Mr. McNutt went on to tell of a
question he asked John D. Rockefel
ler once. "What is wrong with the
world today?" Mr. Rockefeller con
sidered for a second and then re
plied that the world was right, but
the system was wrong; that the
fnult lay in the transporting of the
goods from the grower to the,. buy
er. Mr, McNutt gave as an example
to this the instance of an od woman
in Georgia, who. sold a basket .of
l eaches there for 25c. and that same i
basket in New" York city brought

tweens, or as Mr. McNutt calls them
the "Economic Cooties."
Then he speaker gave a delight
ful illustration of two roosters, in
proof that, "you ' are as you think
you are." One of the' roosters, he
said was a regular young game cock.
He strutted around with more mili
tary pompt than the kaiser ever
dreamed of, and the other rooster
was a great ' big floppy specimen
that wouldn't fight a worm. The
young fighter use to make life mis
erable for the other rooster, and one
day he caught him out where he had
to fight. Mrf McNutt described the
young fighter as wolloping the oth
er rooster on the jaw and then ask
ing the admiring Kens if that wasn't
great. This went on until , the big
rooster was simply reeling under the
fierce assault of the young fighter.
Then Mr. McNutt said he picked up
8 rock, and hit the jjoung rooster a
knockout blow. ' The young game
Cok spun around several times,
mkTng the old rooster had done it,
rn off and cowarded like a wet
Tippy. 'Mr. McNutt explained that
the fear of anything is what is hole
ing so many people back. That young J
fighting cock had pet it into his' head r
that the old rooster had at last tak
en a-stand and would whip him.
But worse than that," continued
the -speaker "the old rooster believ
ed that he had bent the fighter, and

In conclusion Mr. McNutt told
how the spirit of one boy saved an
army in defeat. It was Napoleon's
army, and he was being defeated.
The great general , told the drum
mer boy to beat a retreat, and he re
lejrlied that he didn't kn6w how.
With that he struck, up a rattlimr
charge, and as soon aa the soldiers

the rummer boy was still faithful,

NINE BOYS STUDY
AGRICULTURE
IN THE SHELBY GHADED
v'. SCHOOL
Work Waa Profitable from Fi
nancial Standpoint Course
Taught by T. B. Elliott.
f . i iirii
Definite and tangible 'results in
training the boys and girls for life
on the farm and improving farming
ccmdiCion?) I'd the community, re
being brought about by the teaching
of vocational egriculture in the Shel
by High School of Cleveland County.
Nine high nchool pupils carried ' on
during , the school year 1919-20 the
required work in the agriculture
course. v
The agricultural instruction is
based on the principle that the pupils
must not " only be taught why the
different farming .'operations" should
be done in a certain way but how by
work. In addition to the class-room
having the pupils actually do the
work each pupil js required to grow
tome crop, cere for and manage some
cf the animals or poultry, etc. on
his home farm. This practical work,
called home prcje:t3, enables the pu
pil to put into practice the princi'lea
learned in the class-room. This :.-.:-thod
of instruction results in the pu
pil letrrning and earning at the same
time. '
Records show that the nine pupifs
received from their projects for 1919
20 a total income of $621.33, or an
average income of $09.03 per pupil.
For each dollar that the community
and County spent in giving the cgri- 4
cultural linstructdon In, this school
there was a return from the pupils
projects of 12.48. Thus, from a fin
ancial standpoint, the work is a pro
fitable! investment. Of course, the
benefit of the course can not be mea
cured in dollars and cents, for the
greatest benefit is the training re
ceived by the pupils.
The home projects in the school
for this year included, the care of
119 animals. That the training' the
pupils receive in regard to caring for
their projects is sound is shown by
the fact that the yield per unit of
rops or nimals is greater than
that received by the farmers of the
community.
Another important phase of the
agricultural course is the farm shop
work. Here the pupil is given training
in the various construction and re
pair jobs that ordinarilly have to
be done on the home farm. The farm
shop work consists of making farm '
gates, axo handles, chicken houses,
coops, hog troughs, repairing mach
inery, ' adjust'ng gasoline engines,
harness repairing, and the one hun
dred and one other things that may
arise on the farm. - ,
The agricultural department not
only offers instruction to the pupils
who are in the school, but short
courses are offered to the older boys
of the oommunity who are not in.
school and to the adults. ,
Mr. T. B. Elliott has charge of
the agricultural work in this school.
He is on the job twelve months in the
year. During the summer months, his
time is devoted to helping the boi
with their project work and givingr'
advice and assistance to the farmers"
of the bomunity concerning any farm
problem that may arise. '
