the home grounds yesterday,

sided score of 10 to l, Modale

beautiful game, allowing but
two hits and was we'll support

pitchers out of the box. Nc

very destructive to small grain,
but has now diappeared. Peach
es will be abuot half crop, wheat
about the same, while oats will
be a failure, and it is too early
to estimate the corn crop. He
likes Oklahoma very much and
says if he was a little yonger
he would go to that country to
live, but it's too late for him at
this late day. He says the cit

a grand future for Oklahoma.

At no time in the history Of
Missouri Valley have the people
had a better right to he proud
of their school than they are
this year.
Last evening the largest class
which has ever graduated here
received diplomas. This fact,
despite the decreased popula-
ton, speaks we'll for the inter-
est and cooperation of pupils,
patrons and instructors.
The standard of work is
sufficient to admit students to
the best colleges and universe
ties of the Northwest, the
corps of instructors is most
competent and the superinten-
dent one of the best in the
state. The best incentive, how
ever, is the interest of the
patrons and their efforts to
advance the endeavors of the
school in it's work. May
this always be true for this will
mean more to our little city
than drainage bitches and
shops. 1t is because of this
aroused interest that parents
are proud of last nights class
1t was a goodly sight to behold
twenty-one graduates on the
platform and it was enhanced
by a glance at the beaming
faces of parents and satisfied
teachers in the large audience
The program consisted OF
arguments, essays, orations anc
music. Each and every one
took his part with credit te
himself and his class.
The orations, essays an6
arguments displayed much
thought and were we'll given
The readings were a pleasure tt
all. The solo work on violir
and piano was especially good
The soprano solo was excellent
The two quartets aroused much
comment, and We'd with eacf
other for supremacy in the
opinion of the hearers.
], After the program there wa:
J. an informal reception for the
] graduates. The orchestra as
sisted with the program ane
also during the reception.
| Again we have launched {
class for it's life's work. May
they live long and learn to en-
joy and cause others to enjoy
the advantages of education.

Civil Marriage Recognized.

An important decree on, the sub
ject of marriage has just been issued
by Pope Plus X. The church has
always condemned civil marriage,
but recognized its validity prior to
the council of Trent. This pre-.
scribed that no marriage should be
valid unless celebrated by priest.
1t was later provided that the priest
must be the parish priest of the
contracting parties. After the fall
of the pope's temporal, power in
1870, Italy provided that%the civil
marriage should be es3only legal
one. For time good Catholics de-
olined to recognize theS.eiyil mar
riage and their children were ille-
gitimate in the eyes of the law.
Later the custom of having two
marriages was adopted, the civil
proceeding the religious ceremony.
Pope Plus X. has now made,a de-
cree becoming effective next Easter
which declares valid all marriages
celebrated before two witnesses with
out the presence of the priest. While
this will simplify matters for many.
good Catholics will of course con-
tinue to seek the priest when they
wish to bow before the altar Of Hy.
men, and even those who may for
special reason resort to the civil cer-
emony will later on solicit she
church's blessing upon the bans

Friends Of Bros.

The Illinois Farmers Institute
has taken up the cudgel in defense
of the bird tribe and is Offering some
scientific evidence to show how they
serve the farmer. The common
mourning dove or turtle dove" is
especially valuable. Of the 1927
stomachs of these birds examined
it was found that SO per cent of its
food consisted of seed. In one
stomach was found $500 seeds Of
yellow sorrell. The doves destroy
great quantities Of the seeds of pig
con grass, ragweed, smartweed,
blindweed and many other kinds.
Every time a farmer kills dove he
he sacrifices one Of his most useful
friends. The few bites Of meat fur
nished are no return for the remov-
al Of such an inoffensive and useful
life. The red.wing blackbird takes
some grain, ID per cent of its food,
but seven-eighths of its food is made
up of weed seed OF insects injurious
to agriculture, indicating that un-
mistakabiy the bird should be pro-
tected.
The crow. which is eligible to de.
struction. according to the Illinois
legislature. is guilty Of taking some
grain, but fully one-half is waste
grain. One-third of the contents OF
the several thousand stomachs exam
ined showed mass of insects, all in.
furious to the farm products. In the
spring, the crow blackbird follows
thetplow and eats Urge quantities Of
grub worms. Nearly two-thirds c1
the hawks and owls of the United
States are mostly beneficial, but moi
wholly so. The marsh hawk is one
of the most valuable.

1nfertile Eggs Keep Best.

Those who know say that eggs
that have not been fertilized keep
twice as long as fertile ones, and in
all seasons of the year. Even in the
months, and in transit, this is true.
The reason is simple. The egg
that has not been fertilized only
deteriorates through age; the others
quickly lose their freshness when
exposed to summer heat. This con-
clusion is fully appreciated by egg
shippers. They always advise the
separation Of male birds from the
laying hens for part of the year
as means Of increasing the keeping
quality of the eggs in the way
above mentioned. Much of the
summer loss. could be prevented
were this plan more generally
followed. The blood spots SO often
seen in summer eggs are caused
by letting the cocks run with the
flock. The least taint of this kind
naturally puts eggs in the lowest
grade for table use.

When to Cut Millet for Hay.

Millet is an excellent fodder crop.
in semi-arid sections, be-
cause it will produce goodjyields even
if the rainfall is comparatively small.
For cattle it has high feeding value
as hay crop and the seed has been
used to good advantage for fatten-
ing both cattle and hogs. 1t is not
a good forage crop for horses, al
though some farmers have used it
for years without having observed
injurious effects therefrom. On the
other hand, we have,seen several in
stances where farmers lost several
of their best horses due to disease
known as millet disease, produced
bv overfeeding with millet. If mil
let is cut for hay after tho heads are
we'll formed and before the seed has
begun to develop there seems to be
more danger in feeding the crop to
horses than when it is cut at later
date, say when the seeds are in the
dough stage, Or when the top of the
heads are nearly ripe.
Millet is not difficult crop to
cure although when it has been
seeded late in the season and is not
ready for the mower until late in
the fall, it is frequently difficult
matter, especially when a large crop
is harvested. to get it we'll cured.
When harvested in the fall it is a
good plan to allow millet to partly
cure in the cock. This may be
done by leaving it from one to three
days in the swath until it is about
two thirds cured and then putting
it into comparatively small cocks,
leaving it thus until ready for stack
ing. Millet is not injured by rain
and dew as much as clover hay,
consequently it is better adapted for
curing in the cock than the latter.
Its stems are solid instead of hollow,
like those Of ordinary grasses, which
