Honors Accorded Local High
School.

The Missouri Valley high school is
a fully accredited preparatory school
OF the state university and of the six
teen colleges represented in the Col
lege Department of the State Teachers
Association. A few years ago, the
university sent an examiner to ex-
anime our high school i'm detail, and
upon his report the university facul-
ties accepted our school. This means
that our graduates can enter the uni
versity or any of the colleges in the
state without examination and receive
full credit for all the work they have
done in Missouri Valley. This year
the state university at Iowa City OBJ
tanned the standings of our gradual
ing class from the records here and
sent each of the seventeen members a
neat booklet containing his record for
the four years in high school and a
certificate of admission to the uni.
versity. In all but two cases, these
graduates are admitted to any of the
courses or colleges of the university as
freshmen, without any conditions.
Two who had taken more German and
less Latin are admitted to all but two
courses which require the full four
years of work in preparatory Latin.
Perhaps better test of the efficiency
of the work done in our schools is
found in the fact that several of our
graduates are actually maintaining
themselves as students at Iowa Col
lege, Grinnell, at Armour Institute
Chicago, at Simpson College, Indian
ola, and at Ferry Hall, Lake Forest
III. Those who have gone to the
university of Nebraska have been able
to hold their own in competition with
students from other high schools and
those who enter there next fall will
received hearty welcome.

The Time When Girls Ex-
change Condolences.

After the prolonged separation of a
year when girl school chu1ns meet again,
they are apt to put off all conversation
Of intimate and private matters until
bedtime. Then reviving dornlitory days
Of old they open their hearts and tell
the secrets accumulated in twelve long
months. And some of these condolences
are very sad. 1t is sad when the girl
who was crack ut tennis, could pull an
oar and swing a golf club has to admit
that she has given up all those things
because her back aches SO incessantly,
The pity is that such break downs are
SO common among young women. They

Soon after the conscript law was
passed by the Confederate congress
Captain Slack was appointed enrolling
officer for the parish Of Claiborne, with
orders to have it's provisions duly exc
cuted. His manner Of execution was
the reverse Of that suggested by his
name and created lively sensation
among the "bomb proofs" who, find

a right line toward the front. Not long
after his arrival my sister had occasion
to visit an old lady whose son was no.

Justice Garoutte said: "In Nuremberg

TRIALS or A BOOK DEALER.
All Sorts of Devices of Custom ers to
Get Something For Nothing.

"You would be surprised to know how
much petty rascality we encounter in
this line Of business" said local book
and news dealer the other day. "Did you
notice that old fellow who went out n
few moments ago with bundle Of news
papers under his arm? He caused my
sales accounts to get pretty badly mud
died before finally dropped to his little
game. He used to linger over the period
ical counter for an hour or two at a
stretch, and whenever he got good
opportunity he would lay down one Of
his old papers or magazines and pick up
a new one When he had secured what
he wanted, he would calmly stroll out.
We noticed the roll under his arm, but it
seemed to be the same one he carried in,
SO it excited no comment. When my
suspicious were finally aroused, | watch
ed him one day and made careful mem
orandum Of everything he took. AS he
was leaving / presented him with the
bill, which he paid without a murmur,
and naturally I supposed that would be
the last Of him. But he still drops in
occasionally, and l have to waste con-
siderable valuable time watching him.
This is an extreme case" continued the
dealer, "but great many people prac-
tice the substitution game on a small
scale, and, if caught, they claim they
have made mistake. There is no way
Of proving they haven't, SO we have to
let it go at that.
THE other day young woman came
In and after lingering about the shelves
few moments approached the clerk on
duty and held out new book. got
this novel here yesterday she said, and
would like to exchange it for - nam
ing another at the same price. She was
accommodated, and it developed later on
that the story of the first purchase was
pure fabrication. She had simply picked
up one book and swapped it for another.
There are other kleptomaniacs, and plen-
ty Of them, who take no pains to invent a
subterfuge, but boldly lay hands on any
volume they want and walk off with it.
The very audacity Of the performance
generally carries it through, and even if
a clerk suspects he Is too fearful Of max
ing q blunder to ask any questions. All
the dealers suffer losses of that kind, and
there doesn't seem to be any way of
guarding against them. A man would
have 10 have as many eyes as fly to
watch every stranger who comes in."-
