Aspermont This Week
Beginning Monday, July 4th., Mo-
ral's Comedians, with Bob Harda-
*ajr, began a weeks engagement here
in their tent theatre, north of the
Court House.
We were out of town on Monday
night anijl did not attend the 3how but
reports ffom several who were there,
jay it was a REAL GOOD SHOW.
Tuesday nights performance, "The
Girl and the Burglar," was enjoyed
by everyone in attendance and we are
sure that the play for tonight (Wed-
nesday) will be a Rood one. On Thurs-
day night the title of the play is
"The Night of Mystery." Friday
night, "The Town Gossip," Saturday
evening matinee, "Love, Sweetheart,
and Money," and Saturday night, I
"The Girl of the Hills."
Speaking for ourselves, in dealing |
with the ones we have met, it is a j
pleasure to say we have not nu t with •
any show folks rh.it are as cordial
und fair dealing as the ones who are
connected with Moran's Comedians, j

ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID THAT--
"The legitimate object of govern-
ment is to do for a people whatever
they need to have done, but can not
do al all, or can not so well do for
themselves in their separate and in - '•
dividual capacities. In all that the
people can individually do as well ior.
themselves, government ought not to ;
interfere.
"The desirable things which indi- j
viduals can not do fall into two class- j
es: Those which have relation to;
wrongs and those which have not.;
Each of these branches off into an in- |
finite variety of subdivisions. The.
first—in relation to wrongs—embrac-;
es all crimes, misdemeanors and non-
l
performance of contracts. The other
embraces all which in its nature and
without wrong, requires concerted
action, as public roads and highways,
public schools, charities, pauperism,
orphanages, estates of the deceased,
and the machinery of the government
itself."
x
"Even the cleverest and most per-
fect circumstantial evidence is likely
to be at fault after all, and therefore,
ought to be received with great cau-
tion. Take the case of any pencil
sharpened by any woman; if you have
witnesses, you will find she did it
with a knife, but if you take simply
the aspect of the pencil, you will say j
she did it with her teeth."—Mark 1
Twain.

"Now," said Shorty looking back
over a hundred acres of fresh plow-
ed land, "What we need is a good
thrill, and we need good, sound, heart-
throbbing, blood freezing, thrills at
that. Thrills that send through our
very bodies, chills, and makes the hair
of our .head stand straight up. We
Ion t want the kind of thrills that
make these doll faced women scream,
Oh, horrors!' and we don't want the
kind that makes these pie-faced, cot-
ton-hearted men say, 'Oh, shame! My
Word!' We need thrills that would
make people like them faint, and good
sports like us curse seven hours
traight!"
"You don't want thrills," I replied,

Bugs and potatoes do not grow to-
■ther with uny degree of success for
anyone except the bugs, says the Re-
search Department of the National
Association of Farm Equipment Man-
ufacturers. Ample proof of the state-
ment ia found in the records and
spraying practices of the members of
the Pennsylvania 400-Bushel Potato
Club. The "Guide Post," official pub-
lication of the club, states that a
large number of the 99 members
sprayed 10 times, and Ray Brlggs, of
Luzerne County, all-time champion of
the club, sprayed 16 time3. "It is sig-
nificant," says the "Guide Post,"
"that the yield of these ten men who
sprayed from 9 to 16 times, with u
total of 198 acres, averaged better
than 435 bushels per acre over their
entire acreage.. Spraying did it, you
ask? It made over 200 bushels per
acre increase in several of these same
fields." Then out in Iowa, a farmer
who never sprays his potatoes writes
the agricultural experiment station
asking why he can't raise more than
50 bushels per acre, complaining thnt
his vines always start dying in the
middle of the season.

UNIVERSITY NEWS
An enrollment of 2,810 students for
the first term of summer school at
-he University of Texas makes a very
gratifying start, said Dr. Frederick
Eby, director of the summer session.
This enrollment represants about 200
more students than were enrolled dui-
ing all of the first term of summer
school during last year, according to
Dr. Eby.
This year's summer school is mark-
ed by the increased number of gradu-
ate students taking courses in the
University. During the first term of
summer school last year there were,.
•181 graduate students while thus far
this summer there are over 600 and
by the second term there will be fully
150 more registered, estimated Dr.
Eby.
These figures are significant in
that they show that our summer ses-
sion is rapidly developing from an un-
dergraduate institution purely to be-
ing predominately an advanced school
said Dr. Eby.
