for the locals that they were not in

was claimed for the RenvilIes that

But excuses were unnecessary

35 points in their favor. Schmidt,
the Renville athlete, was about ssix-

To Miss Jennie June Peabody

To Miss Jennie June Peabody
was accorded the honor of the class
valedictory-Forward and her re-
marks were founded on the refusal
of the children of Isreal to enter the
Promised Land because the cities
were walled and powerful and the
people were giants. She urged the
members of her class to not falter at
the foot of the mountain because it
is hard to climb. 1--WE have com.
pleted one step in our lives, but it
is not the end of our careers, it is
only the commencement. !" Miss
Peabody thanked all for the interest
taken in the class. Members of the
school board were thanked for their
assistance and teachers were assur-
ed that in future years there would
always be place for them deep
down in the hearts of the class.
The honor of senior was gracefully
yielded to the juniors. She closed
as follows:
Classmates, this night our paths di-
verge. We will no longer pursue our
work together. Each must now 90
on separate way. No doubt, in later
years we will think of our high school
days and wish that Mcknight live
them over again, but let us not dwell
too much on the past That will remain
as it is. But the future that will be
as we make it. Two courses are open
to US, one of which, we must choose
either to press onward or drift back
ward. But who will choose the latter?
Let Forward be our watchword.u
The honor of presenting the di-
plomas was given to I. N. Temp
kins, who made short but instruc-
tive address before the sheepskins
were turned over to the class, and
the singing of the class song, COM
posed by Miss Gwen Eaton, closed
the exercises.

MAGOON IS FORMALLY
RECEIVED AT PANAMA
Canal Zone-Reception by PresI-
dent Amador


BY Associated Press
PANAMA, Aug. S.-Charles E. Ma
goon, governor of the canal zone, yes
terday presented his credentials as
American minister plenipotentiary. A
reception was held at President ANA
doris palace, which gave an opportuni-
ty for the Panama officials to demon
strate their friendship and esteem for
Governor Magoon.
The speech of the American minister
was very gratifying to those present.
He said, among other things, that, ex-
cepting the American flag, there is no
flag upon which the United States
looks with such pride and favor as
that of Panama. The prompt recog-
milton by the United States, he said
of Panama's independence was largely
instrumental in establishing the SOW
ereignty.
President Amador, in replying, paid
high compliments to the United States,
President Roosevelt and Minister Ma
COON. He declared that Panama was
loyal, and that the frank policy in
itiated in Roosevelts name and the
affectionate brotherly conduct of Sec
retary Taft would undoubtedly in
crease American influence in Latin
America.

CHICAGO HAD HAND IN
CHINESE BOYCOTT
Wealthy orientals Angry Because
They Could Not Bring Wives
to United States
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. S.-The Daily News
today says: Disclosures made in con-
secret rendezvous in this city have
brought to light that Chicago has
played an initial part in instituting the
boycott now raging in China against
Americal manufactures. Chin PAX Sun,
leading Chinese merchant, outlined
the situation today. Rigid enforcement
of the provisions of the exclusion act
stirred the Chinese to dabbling in eco
nomic studies. Three Chicago Chi
pese of wealth were barred from bring
ing their wives into the United States.
These examples and others incensed
the Chinese, and it now developes made
possible the rapid growth and success
full development of the associate that
is now coaching Chinese all over the
world.
The first assessments made to meet
the expenses of bringing conditions to
the attention of the Pekin government
ter the movement spread in all direc-
tions. Before the expiration of the
Geary exclusion law last December,
the Chinese associations made known
it's purpose in Chicago. Upon the
investigation of committee from
a number of federated women's clubs,
Chin Park Sun as the mouthpiece of the
Chinese association, delivered an ad-
dress in which he declared if fairness
was not shown in readjustment of the
immigration laws, boycott would fol-
low on American goods such as would
be possible in the world. The force of
the threat was not realized nor was the
part Chicago Chinese played in it's pro-
lection until the results of the boycott
and the echoes in American government
circles brought it out.

Wine Growers Alarmed

Each and every one of these gentle
men spoke against giving any sanction
to reciprocity because, in their opin-
ions, such sanction would give to the
public the idea that California is not
decided in it's views in favor of pro-
lection.
Percy T. Morgan, speaking for the
wine makers of California, was equally
emphatic. He said that $SOOOO,OOO is
invested in the wine industry of the
state. If foreign wines, by reason OF
reciprocity, should be allowed to enter
the United States freely 1T would only
be a short time when the vineyards of
California would be torn up as un-
profitable and a great industry would
be destroyed.
