GRADUATING EXERCISES
In A Labyrinth Of Sweet Flowers Ar
tiSticallY Arranged For The 0cca-
sion, Three Dear Children
Start In Life

The NJ. E. Church was beautifully
arranged tor commencement exer-
cises last Friday night and near it's
festooned portals stood Miss Pluma
freeman, Charles 1. Ide and
VIM. A Nelson each having reached
the topmost round of the High
School ladder and were ready to
make their goodbye bow to teach
ers, pupils and friends. Custom on
this occasion calls for some brainy
effusions and we found the class
there with the goods.
First came "Child Labor in The
United States" by VIM. A. Nelson
and although much might be said
pro and con on the subject the stu
dent condemned in forceful Lam
guage the practice of compelling
children to work hard while young.
Finland Its Past History and
Present Struggle for Freedom" by
Charles L. Ide was masterpiece of
thought, an ideal composition and
worthy effort to save the little
scrawny country from Russian
thra wIdom.
Music Its Power and Influence"
by Miss Pluna Freeman was pre-
sented in such manner is to show
its refining Influences, necessary to
complete education; that without
music in the soul the white man is
little better than the aborigines.
Class address by DR.. Loveland
was we'll received.
The songs by the Male Quartette
were exquisite.

DECORATION DAY

In Illinois alone there were 500
more graves to be decorated this
year than there were year ago but
as the graves multiply with each
passing year, there is no reason for
unrest on the part of the old soldiers
They will not be forgotten even
when the last of them has joined the
passing throng.

DECORATION
of The Graves Of Departed Heroes,
Who Died That Our Country should
Remain One And Inseparable

Monday May 31st, an interested
number of our citizens met in our
beautiful park to again listen to
sweet strains of music rendered by
Extras Concert Band, harmonious
melody by the village double quar-
tette, Lincoln's Gettysburg Speech
by Mrs. DIR. Riley and the speech by
Judge Ezra Willard. Probably the
best effort of his life was thrown in
to this decoration speech by the
Judge. His hearers received new
thoughts from the Civil war, such
as deep thinker can bring to the
surface, Following the dinner hour
a very large procession formed and
headed by the band, went to the
Cemetery and there performed the
beautiful rites of the Grand Army
OF the Re public over their dead
known and unknown. The day was
an ideal one and from far and near,
all who possibly could come turned
out to the exercises.
The little green tents where the soldiers
sleep,
Where the sunbeams play and women
weep,
Are covered with flowers today.
Between the tents walk the weary few
Who were young and stalwart in '62,
When they went to the war away.
The little green tents are built of sod,
And they are not long and they are not
broad,
But the soldiers have lots of room.
The sod is part of the land they saved,
When the flag of the enemy darkly
waved,
The symbol of dole and gloom,
