Final examinations for the first sem
ester begin at high school tomorrow
morning, to continue through the re-
mainder of the week, and today the
names of the scholars excused from
taking them were given out. Naturally
the members approached the school
this morning with frequent misgivings
and apprehension and each with a for
lorn wish that he had been an obedient
scholar during the term and devoted
more hours over his books than he had
done. However, the fears of many
were allayed when they learned they
were among those whose per cent for
the term stood above 90 and were thus
excused from the four days of mind
torture. There are causes besides a
low average for not being excused from
the final tests. These are two days I'M

Among those included for conduct are
the seniors of the A. z. Y. club who

all of their finals that they consider
real punishment, and not the weeks
forced vacation they received.
The high school girls first team will
play the alumni girls team at basket

this week.

STEALS LOAD CORN.
Thief Goes to, Home OF Rural
Farmer at Night With
Wagon.
BREAKS DOWN on THE WAY
Then He Appropriates Pair Of Bob
sIeds, and Finally Gets
Stuck on Hill.

Going TO a farm with a wagon and
backing it up TO a corn crib and taking
on a load about reaches the limit for
cold nerve, yet this very act has been
committed in Rock Island within the
past week.
The victim is a resident of Rural
township and the culprit's home is in
Moline. The police are looking for the
thief. They know him; at least they
have what is supposed to he his name,
as it appears in three places on the
wagon box that he filed with the farm
er's corn.
The thief drove to the farm at night.
When he was on the way to the city
with the load one of the wheels broke
down. He went to the home of the
farmer and removed wheel from his
wagon.
But the wheel would not fit. Then
he stole a pair of bobsleds from an
other farm. unloading the corn in or
der to lift the box from the wheels TO
the sleds.
Is stuck On "a HILL
This was accomplished, and once
more he resumed his journey, but the
fates were not with him, for when on
the top of a hill near the county mfr
mary the bob stuck, and the horses
could not bulge the cargo. The corn
thief is thought to- have worked until
daylight, when the released the horses
and straddled one and drove to the
city. leaving the load of corn on top
Of the hill and his broken wagon some
distance beyond:
