COMMENCEMENT DAY,

An immense crowd gathered at the
Opera House last Thursday evening to
listen to the graduating exercises of the
class of 'S8. The exercises opened with
music by the choir, followed with prayer
by W. E. Stanley. The program of the
evening was carried out as printed
IN the TRANSCRIPT of last week. The
friends of the graduates testified
their appreciation by literally showering
their floral offerings upon the young peo-
pie whose connection with the Austin
sahools thus terminated. The stage was
very tastefully ornamented by the ar
ranging committee and at last became a
mass Of bloom. Misses Sherwood, Della
Anderson and Jessie Howe with assist
ance of Messrs. Catherwood and Gordon,
furnished enjoyable music for the even
ing. The trio by the young ladies was
exceptionally good, and they are entitled
to credit for the hard work they perform
ed in preparing music for the occasion.
Rev. c. E. Wright delivered the address
to the class, giving them good, whole
some advice, after which he pronounced
the benediction, closing the exercises of
the evening at 1890.

OF INTEREST TO ALL.

In behalf of improved roads for this
county we give this week an article from
the Fargo Argus on the New Era Grader.
Mr. William Weaver, OF Addison town
ship, Cass county, says he purchased a
New Era Grader nearly five years ago
and that during that time the productive
value of his farm has been more than
doubled. His first experiment was to
test the quantity and quality of wheat
grown on the soil drained and undrained.
The result was that on the land where
the grader was used, he raised six bushels
to the acre more than double, the amount
grown upon the undrained portion, and
this from the same seed and cultivation
in both cases, excepting the use Of the
grader. This he continued from year to
year until his acres are almost like
garden and the grader has become one of
the most important and certainly the
best paying instrument on the farm.
He still keeps the grader in operation,
determined to have the finest farm in
Cass county. In addition to draining
his own farm and placing it in such fine
condition he has received over four
thousand dollars for work done for his
neighbors. For these reasons he says,
the purchase of the grader was the best
investment he ever made, reaping more
immediate and permanent benefit than
he had supposed possible. The neigh
bors of Mr.. Weaver watched with care
the result OF the experiments, and be
came so thoroughly convinced of the
great benefits to be derived from the
use of the grader, that last week one was
purchased by the town and will be kept
in use as long as the season lasts. The
good results of such an investment are
almost incalculabie, for from the moment
the machine is started, drainage com
'mences and every foot of soil is more or
less benefited by the process.

Practical Ideas About the Chlnch Bug Pes

thought would give the readers of the
Standard the result Of considerable
thought and investigation on the subject.
It is an established fact that our crop OF
bugs never comes from our cultivated
fields and meadows, but almost unlver-
sally from fields of small grain, especial
ly wheat and early sown oats and barley,
and alter destroying that they go for the
corn. It is also fact that the old bugs
after laying their eggs die. and the new
crop are the ones that do the mischief.
Now if you go into your plowed fields
on warm day you Will see the old bugs
busy flying over them deposlting their
eggs, generally selecting warm, sunny
spots rs on the south side of sod or
west, or exposed side of dead furrow.
Nowyou will see no less number on
your oats, corn or barley fields that have
been plowed than your wheat fields. Now
why is it that those eggs, only in limited
numbers, do not hatch in your cultivated
fields?TIs it not because of your subse-
quent cultivation. or the stirring of the
soil breaking up their nests and thereby
DESTROYING the eggs? Now would it not
be worth trial to drag your fields of
small grain at least once week until it
is at leat five or SIX inches high? 1t will
not injure the grain, don't fear, but on
the contrary 1t will increase its luxuriance
and in nay opinion it will destroy the eggs
of the bugs. Is 1t not worth trial?

Death Of Mr.. Robt. A. Baker.

Last Friday night, at 10 p. m, at
the residence Of Mr.. Jno. w. Payne,
on Fifteenth ST., Robt. A. Baker,
passed quietly awav into the great
unknown.
He had been afflicted with cancer
for several years, but not until about
six months ago did II assume ma
lignant state. In vain did he seek
relief from the mineral waters, Of
Eureka Springs, and from eminent
physicians, but in spite of all efforts
TO arrest the continued destruction of
the cancer, 1t consumed one side of
his neck and face, inflictiDg upon
him most severe death.
Mr.. Baker, was born in Trigg
county, but spent most of hi, business
career in this city, engaging in the
handling of wheat and tobacco. He
was 45 years of age, and had lived a
member of the Baptist church for
seventeen years, at which church his
funeral took plack Sunday mornig at
10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. j. N.
Prestridge, assisted by Rev. w. Z.
Kellar, who was companion and
mess-mate of Mr.. Bakers during the
war. His remains were inferred in
the city cemetery.
Robt. A. Baker, was one of the
most companionable, unselfish, and
liberal hearted gentleman it has ever
been our pleasure to know, and in his
death the community loses one whose
place will be hard to fill. Those who
knew him, were drawn closer to him
by his gentle, pleasing manner,
and to see one so useful and
universally popular taken in
the prime of life, serves but to burden
the hearts of those who were attach
ed to him, with the deepest grief.
The bereaved relatives have the SYM
patty OF the entire community.
