YOUNG PEOPLE IN “DR. JIM
PLEASE PUBLIC
Mrs, Sam Hewlet t, teacher, and Mrs ]
Susan Sipes, : coach, presented the
Young People’s Class of the Metho-
dist. Sunday school in “Dr. Jim.” a
very amusing and interesting comedy
■n four acts, at the High school audi-
torium Wednesday evening, pleasing
Very much the audience in attend-
ance.
The fun began vyhen Mrs. Sipes in-
troduced the cast of characters, each
appearing at center stage with his or
her own individualistic and proper
“bow”, to the public as his name was
called.
As they play unfolded, each imper-

THE VALUE OF
A PLANTER
CREDIT A BIG
FACTOR
The man who lives by honest work,
Who pays his debts and does not shirk,
Who builds a credit in advance
. ' • - . . • . -■ *•
Can take advantage of business chance;
The man who works and plans and schemes,
But has no credit, only dreams
Of things he hopes some day to do
While he with credit puts them thru.

needs make special mention of every
one-.
As “Dr. Jim Goodenough,” the up-
do-date and modern young physician,
just out of- college and ready to hang
out his shingle, Milton Sipes was in
exactly the right role. Oscar Bonor-
den, .always good in amateur parts,
as Dr. Jim’s -father, Ephraim Good-
born.”

Miss Velma Craven as

the part as to call forth numerous
cdtnpliments. among those being en-
tertained.
JOHN DEERE
J. M. Richardson, as the
“oily” rascal, Orla T. Baker was splen-
did both as\a salesman of oil stock,
ever ready to jump at a prospective
victim, and as the villian of the play.
As an amateur detective, Nate Spoon-
er, A. L. Ford,.was very amusing, sur-
prising audience in the end by ac-
tually capturing the thief of the play,
Orla T. Baker. He played opposite
and “played up to” his sweeetheart.
Hannah Spriggins, a would-be movie
star, Misjs Margaret Davis, who was
chic and’dainty, and good both as a
charmer and-as an ambitious, though
youthful inovie aspirant. The woman-
hater and the man-hater of the play,
John Starbuck and Miss Clara Mc-
Neil, proved beyond a doubt that they
hated the opposite sex in general, and
each other in particular, flying at
each other’s throats at sight. Separ-
ated and reduced to hatred by the
“oily” villian Of the .play, when his true
character was discovered,^ they “for-
gave. and forgot.” The part of Ssun
Johnson, the colored errand boy, was
well taken by Edgar Bonorden, quite
a success as a “nigger” that felt him-
self a privileged character with his
“white folks,” and one of the family.
Miss Pauline Gregory was specially
good as Miss Tabitha Tuttle, an old
a little better. In addition to this

Arkansas Cotton Gin.
One of Earliest Made
Rambling about the Ozark moun-
tains, an artist of Little Bock, Ark.,
discovered an ancient cotton giii, said
to be one hundred years old and one
of the oldest of its tribe. Construct-
ed on the fc-ame principle as the roller
gin -and other more modern improve-
ments, this historic ginning device dif-
fers from later structural variations
only, in capacity. It literally repre-
septs the infancy of cotton ginning.
Its construction Is that of a box with-
out a top. One end is open, while
the other ^nd is fitted ingeniously
with two rollers, one on top of the
otheh Between these cylinders the
cotton was fed by hand. The oppo-
site or eccentric motion of the half-
inch hickory rollers, which are fitted
so closely as Jo gin the cotton, is se-
cured by the belting of the wheels on
each side of the open end with the
wheels at the ginning end.
Turning of a wooden handle at the
open end fitted to one of the wheels
operates the device. The wheels are
bigger at the open end of the box
and are connected to the smaller
drum by cotton cords.

‘BEAU SABREUR’ with Gary
Cooper, Evelyn Brent, Wm. Powell
and Noah Berry is the Monday-Tues-
day feature. It/ Is a romantic
tale of the French Foreign Le-
gion, concerning the adventures of
Cooper in’ attempting’ to get the sig-
nature of a Sheik to a treaty with
France. It differs from- its compan-
ion story, “Beau Geste” in the fact
that It has a love story and a comedy

The “Seven Seas”
Col. G. E. Geriniin his “Researches
on Ptolemy’s Geography of Eastern
Asia” traces the expression “seven
seas” back to'Indian and Chinese leg-
end. From the “Puranas” - Colonel
Gerini has made the following-list of
seven seas: Sea of Salt Water, sur-
rounds India; Sea of Sugar Cane
Juice, surrounds Burma; Sea 'of Wine,
surrounds the Malay Peninsula; Sea
of Clarified Butter, surrounds the Sun-
da archipelago; Sea of Milk, sur-
rounds Siam and Cambodia; Sea of
Curds and Whey, surrounds southern
China; Sea of Fresh Water, surrounds
northern China and Mongolia. It is
apparent, therefore, that the idea of
the seven seas is of considerable an-
tiquity and the original list may be
older....

Misses Ouida Park and Dorothy
Withers entertained the audience with
numbers of well rendered piano se-
lections before the play and between

particularly enjoyed.
Other young people of the play, not
taking parts, assisted in various ways
toward making the play the big suc-

audience rose to leave with a smile on

making the play a success.

of her life was that her home, as .well
as her individual life and influence,
might stand distinctly for the develop-
ment of Christian character, and from
that home her children have gone out
in ft the various walks of life as just
and upright citizens to fill places of
usefulness. As a result of the going
of Mrs. Gore, her community has sus-
tained a loss that has caused a feeling
of loneliness to hover over many
homes in addition to her own, but th^

Cod-liver oil- has long been popular-
ly employed in northern Europe in
rheumatic and strumous diseases. It
was first brought to the notice of the
profession generally by German prac-
titioners and had acquired great’rep-
utation on the continent before it was
used to any extent in Great Britain.
At Manchester, in England, it was em-
ployed by the medical profession in
the treatment of chronic rheumatism
and gout as early as 1766, but It was

“Digger” Indians
“Diggers” was a name given to a
number of tribes of North American
Indians in California, Oregon, Idaho,
Utah, Nevada and Arizona, which
speak widely different languages and
comprise a number of distinct linguis-
tic stocks. The name is used espe-
cially to designate the Bannock, -Flute
and, other Shoshonean tribes known to
use roots extensively for food and
who are hence “diggers” (in English);
but it is a coincidence that the termi-
nal syllables “dlka” and “tika” are
common -in Sboshorieati ban*! and tri
