It is to be hoped that the judges of the triangular debates, soon to take i.oUo8eJill provided, v4U hearts. Greenvijle must win this time! There is a canipai'u now going on to secure volunteers for the try-out.

The question this year. It. solved That the 'government of the I nit States should adopt a policrr of one year of military training of all able bodied men before they reach the age of 21. is full of possibilities. Surely there will be a very great number of aspirants for the honor of representing G.

H. S. in the fight. We are doing still more work in another direction. Plans are under way for the annual of 1918-1919, and here another triumph is sure to be scored.

The English tachers have al- rady collected some material. But the real work will begin Monday, when the school will meet to elect the edi-toi-in-chief and the business manager, both of whom will, necessarily, come from the senior class. At the session Monday, contests for the most popular boyr and the most popular girl will be held. The period from ten-thirty to eleven Monday mifjht possibly amuse some of you people. Why not attend? Some special occasion is needed to lighten our sad hearts.

Yes. it's really true. Mr. Swanson has gone to Ral-, eigh! However, his early return is hoped for. since we are positive that he is missing us just as badly as we are missing him.

No communication from the high school could close this, week without mentioning the mysterious gift and the senior's gratitude for it. "All honest work brings its own reward," but the reward does not always come in a spectacular manner and that is what makes the present case so interesting. Conjecture has run high and low to no avail. Possibly the mystery will be disclosed in the annual. The seniors hope, so, anyway.

The Brat Show Whites Theatre Simply Immense "The Brat" is a great show and what makes it so is "The Brat" impersonated by Miss Cecil Spooner. No more pOeastyig actress has ever appeared before the footlights of Greenville. White's theatre was packed last night to greet this company and they were not disappointed. They expected something good and their cup of expecta- 111 Hi; over. urcuvui uevci nnucTO- ed a better show of the kind, and in consequence, the praises of the company are being sung on all sides.

The entire company is a strong one, so much so that it is difficult for a critic to pick a weak spot. Of course Miss Spooncer was the stellar attraction and she sustained her enviable reputation obtained else- to Give Their Aid to Victory Gardens Washington. Forty- thousand ministers, covering every denomination in the United States, have been requested by the national war garden commission to aid in the campaign for victory gar-lens. The commission suggests that Sunday. February 2nd, the message of importance of home food production shonld be carried to the congregations.

The national war garden commis--n is sending to the 40,000 ministers data of home food production, and garden books. The united society of Christian endeavors, from its headquarters in Boston, has joined in the e4tt. -and ttie Swi '-rnwi-E Clark has sent out a call to thousands of members of that organization with the commission's data. The letter from the commission to the ministers says in part "To co-operate with the lans worked out by the United States food administration for helping to solve the post-war food problems, this commission's efforts for increased food production and home conservation will be continued during 1919. "This commission bespeaks your helpful cooperation in conveying to vour people the message of food needs.

To give this message Intensive force it is suggested that these needs be emphasized the same day throughout the country. May we ask that ifou bring the matter before your congregation on February 2nd, 1919, and that you suggest that copies of our books on home gardening and home canning and drying may be had free of charge upon application to this commission." Reports to the national- war garden commission show that organization work is going on in nearly every town hi the United 'States. Thousands of posters ar now being distributed through the agents of the United States railroad administration and other agencies in the various towns and cities. CONDITION BETTER The friends of Mrs. Mary Flanagan will be pleased to learn that her condition today is more favorable.

She has been confined to her home for the past several. da(vs suffering from an attack of influenza. where to the fullest, in fact, surpassed the expectations of the most sanguine. Mis. Spooner was not alone in leeching commendation from the audience, for pai -hm iv in lt'ig was the "drunk" U141 by Messrs.

Kenne-(4 and Jack Lewis. In this act they were especially clever and did it just like life. Miss Spooner just simply bi ought down the house in her dancing atr. Graceful as a bird she performed so deftly and skillfully that the audience just went wild with applause and used every endeavor to get her back, but they were only favored with a salute and a polite bow like women used to such things can only give. As stated in the outset "The Brat" is a great show and Greenville was just simply carried away with it, and hopes that Manager White some day in the near future can secure a re turn engagement.

It is all that advanced notices had to say of it and more too. Ir f-parkl all the way through with wit and humor that tends to amuse and attract with an occas-j ional pathos that is not at all objec-! tionable. Miss Spooner made a great ihit with the Greenville theatregoers. All hope she will come again. (By United Press.) Paris.

(By Mail) Moving pictures and education are not easily divorced these days. Another role than that of pedagog now falls upon the film drama. Its new mission is to make and intensify morale. Possibly it will play the part of employment agency to the women of France. To them after their long years of labor in munition shops behind the lines the moving picture is taking courage.

The French woman who has recent-y lost her job in the munitions shop is find the medium of moving pictures that there are other jobs for wbmen than those created by the urge of war. Living her life within the dodrs of her own home, realizing the necessity for being a good cook, a good housekeeper and something of a seamstress and milliner, the woman of France found herself quite unprepared when the war broke out. But despite her many handicaps, she went. It will be many a long day before the world will cease singing the praises of the women of France without whose work M.

In all the centers opened Ijj the Y. W. ('.

A. in France under its 126 secretaries these pictures are to be shown. Beside industrial phases the exhibit contains many pictures of large cities in America and other countries. There is a "better baby" film which shows the most modern methods of infant care. A series of national child welfare charts, dealing with the following subjects is included in the exhibit.

Prevention of tuberculosis in childhood healthy babies and children care for saving mothers' and babies' lives; early habit forming; growth through play growth through study and growth through work. Showing the work that women may do and are doing successfully are pictures of women engaged in various sorts of factories, other than those connected in any with war or war emergencies views of the celery industry of Florida women at work in rura districts and a picture showing use of modern farm implements. These films have been collected by Miss Sutherland Griffith of Los An- ing picture actress and who knows the industry from the inside out.

This is plainly shown in David Wark fuv-uuu craft, "The Great Love," which is to displayed at White's theatre next Thursdav. matinee and night. This remarkable picture was filmed largely in the homes and on the country estates of several of the titled families of' England, aud the "actors" in many of the scenes are members ox the no- who bive given tneir an to me prosecution of the war, turned their magnificent homes over to the government for hospital purposes and sacrificed every thought of self, every in- i nlAn.ii -k a in anil for human literty and freedom irom autocratic despotism. This remarkable photoplay reveals a wonderful story. It portrays the awakening from a lethargy that had been produced by the conditions in the "piping times of peace," bringing out the wonderful character and nobility of purpose, the self-immolation, the letting down of the bars of caste on the part of the noble families of the Empire.

Chief among the high social eelebrites of England, who are conspicuous' shown in this photoplay are Queen Countess Masserene, 'Lady La very, Lady Diana Manners, reputed to be the most beautiful woman in England, Miss Elizabeth As-quith, daughter of the former Prime Minister of England, Lady Paget, the social dictator of London, and many others.
