has arranged with the Elson.Art

school building.
This collection consisting in a
large part of -carbon photographs
photogravers and prints in full color,
made directly from the original mas
teroieces, is selected by art experts.
A small admission will be charged,

School Grounds.
The improvements on the school
grounds have been many and are of
much interest. The athletic equip
ment has cost so little and yet has
been used so constantly that a few
of the novel features will.be diserib-
,ed in the hope that they may be of
value to other,schoi)ls.
Giant Stadias at $5 Each. '
While giant studies ordinarily
cost about $65.00 installed we have
been able to provide two at $5 each.
The plan is to take a spindle from
an old buggy axel, carry this to a
machine sh6p and have it turned
down to the shape of a ford front
Wheel spindle. Provide the race and
cave and ballbearings from an old
Ford and on this mound the iron
hub plate from a Ford front wheel.
Fii! with grease and screw on a hub
cap. Turn down the other end of
the buggy axil till it is round and
thread it. Now procure any old.
piece of piping 'from around town
which is sixteen feet long and at
least 3 1-2 inches in diameter.
Through ' the capping of this pipe
bore a hole large enough to receive
the threstaetr erftf of the spindle.
Run a nut high on the threads and
then screw the cap on the pipe. Now
dig four foot hole, erect the pipe
and fill in with brick and cement.
The chains are fastened to the hub
plate through the holes already pro
vided. This is done by the use of
six trace repair links. This will
make a great stride which will be
found as satisfactory as a boughten
one. The ones at this school are in
constant use and give hours of
pleasure and recreation each day.
If any one interested wishes further
details wc should be glad to show
them -the ones which we have in
use.
Sea-saws cost nothing.
For a durable and excellent sea-
saw rest the following plan is sug
gested: Toke a' l&'-foot length of
1 1-2 inch pipe. rovidefour sup
ports at least 4x4 inches and six
feet long. Sore holes 1 3-4 inches
in diameter four indies from the
top. But on two of the supports dp
not have the holes extend entirely

through the wood. These two arc
used as end posts and prevent the
pipe from working out. When the
posts are put down the earth should
be well stamped about them. The
sea - saw boards are rendered much
safer if provided with clerfts at the
center to prevent slipping. Also
strips at the end for holding on to
are an additional precaution.
Other Equipment
A six foot "acting oar" has given
no end of exercise ami enjoyment
This cost nothing more than a little
trouble. Besides these things we
have two basketball courts and a
football grid-iron. The basketball
.Mings like the great strides were
made by the men of the town at lit
tie or no expense to the town.
Building Improvements.
The school building and grounds
grow each week as a better example
of cleanliness and beauty. On Mon
(day the auditorium received anoth
er coat of paint. The basement is
being remodeled so as to hold more
fuel and so as to furnish dressing
room for the. athletic teams. This
dressing room will be provided with
four hot and cold shower baths.
Then the debris which gathered
last summer as a result of building
operations has been cleared away
and the entire yard set in fine or
der. About fifty new dishes have
heen ordered which will greatly add
to the comfort of those pupils who
have had to sit there in a desk. And
lastly, the building has been render
ed more sanitary by an application
of floor oil throughout.
Athletics.
A meeting of the High School and
faculty was called by Mr. Price and
organized an Athletic Association.
The association has about seventy
members. The officers elected are
Mr. Ti R. Sides, president, Mr. Lacy
Ingram, manager; Miss Ruth Mills,
secretary..
Football prospects look brighter
this week than before. Several new
men are on the field this week
whjch will make our line "stronger
than a stone wall."
The first football game played in
,the history of Ellerbe High School
was played in Hamlet last Friday
afternoon.
' Our team had never seen a foot
ball game, and with no experience
and little training they played a
wonderful game, holding the strong
Hamlet team to 25 points and all of
which were made on forward passes.
Very6O0n after the game began
Hamlet found a "stone wall" in our
line then they tried end runs but
with verf little success and lastly
they began the forward passes
which they marked very success
fully.
Elferbe scored the first touch down
in the first two minvtes of play
when Ray Bsfnnett recovered a fum
ble by Hamlet and ran eighty-five
yards for a touch down with "RegV
Price running a wonderful interfer
ence.
Lacy Ingram did some fine work
oneft end while "Red" Spivey nan
died the center like an old player
with Candle's wonderful work in the
back field.
The entire team for Ellerbe did
some fine work and with a few
weeks training and experience we
will interest any team in the sur
rounding country. We play McColl
next Friday.

HIGH
DEGREES IN
LOWSHIP.
ODD FEL-
Patriarchal Degree.
Besides the degrees already de
scribed there are three degrees con
ferred by the Encampment. Rock
ingham has not only a lodge for the
scarlet degree but an encampment.
The first of these higher degrees
is the patriarchal.
There is an ambition, all too com
mon among, men to step into posi
tion of ' honor and responsibility
without having traveled the often
arduous roads thut lead to and pre
pare fo such, responsibilities. He
who has held a lower position is
better fitted therehv for supervis
ing those who serve under his su-
perintendency, and "know better
how to make allowance for the
weaknesses of those who labor un
der him. This is a lesson that the
present generation needs and that
is impressively set forth in this de
gree. He that is faithful in little
will also be faithful in much and
faithfulness in small things devel
ops competency for taking care of
the things that are more important.
Moses, the very exemplification of
faithfulness, and whose work of or
ganizing a band of slaves into a
nation a nation whose subjects
have had most to do with shaping
the history of the world in all sub
sequent ages was prepared for his
great work not only by acquiring a
knowledge of all the wisdom of
Egypt, but by serving forty yean
as a humble herdsman. Histronic
reference to other prominent char
acters is used to exemplify the
same lesson; the lesson that if wo
would attain the highest success,
we should begin at the bottom, and
by slow and persistent effort rise
step by step till we hjaVe reached the
zenith of our usefulness. If we at
tain usefulness, we need not fear
that we shall not he accorded honor,
Faithfulness is emphasized in con'
ferring the degree, and persistence
and pains-taking patience are es
sential to faithfulness.
Another lesson prominent in this
degree is the duty of hospitality to
strangers, and to those who have
no claim upon us other than that
of belonging to the common broth
erhood of humanity. While it may
eeem to some that the modern hotel
obviates the necessity for hospitali
ty, there is still room for exercising
its spirit by other forms of kind
ness for which there is still need.
One may sacrifice his time and con
venierice to help a stranger espe
cially one who ignorant of modern
usages in finding his.' way through
the intricacies of some busy most
or over the lonely roads that
traverse the sparsely settled coun
try dretricts.
chee Flour. ' Tour fork
crackles through their tempt
ing, brown crispiness with
the slightest pressure.
Occo-nee-chee Flour is
just as good and as easy to
use for making delicious bis
cuits or hot cakes. And it's
more economical than buying
the ingredients separately.
Get one of those plump
sacks of Occo-nee-chee Flour
from your grocer. It has the
Head On the outside.
But the lesson in hospitalities
not given without the needful cau
tion against imposters. The modern
deailbeat is abroad in the land and
we should guard against encourag
ing idleness and uselessness by be
stowing charity on those who "are
unworthy.
This degree also teaches that we
should avoid conflicts with others
from too great a readiness to attrib
ute to them unfriendly motives or
be too quickly showing resentment
in word or action. A friendly de
meanor will cool the anger of one
who imagines he has a grienvance,
and may soften the heart of one
who intends to do us an injury.
But the most important of all
the lessons taught is the lesson of
implicit faith in the covenant
keeping Jehovah. Whatever He re
quires of us we should yield to
Him, however dear it may be to
nur h.i.it. t . I nil
vw II listing llUi UUiy 111ft
wisdom but His love for us, and
we should never doubt that He will
fulfill H promises, even though
their fulfillment may seem lo us to
in.olve the impossible.
It was the unanimous opinion of
those who attendcdxthe joint con
vention of the Tenth and Eleventh '
district in Salisbury last week that
it was' the best convention that has
been held in a generation. New
plans were set on foot from which
is expected that great things will'
be accomplished in the near future.
The next meeting wi'l be held in
March in Charlotte and the Char
lotte Odd Fellows are going to in
sure its being a most enjoyable as
well as profitable occasion. Two
or three other districts will be in
vited to participate in the exercises
of the convention, and an elaborate
and interesting program will be pre
pared. Great progress in the order
has been recently made in Char
lotte, and the brethren there will
spare no pains to make the meeting
success.

the game was a good one and hard
fought from beginning to end and
the Webb brothers on the flanks
showed exceptional ability, as hign
school players. Thanks to Frank

nice playing in the line and the all

of becoming good players. David
