Charles E. jackson, is one OF the best bird
books ever published. Mr.. Jackson is q
close student Of nature and especially
fond OF birds. In his poems one can see,
in imagination, the birds fitting about
the branches OF the trees and hear their
melodious voices as they put forth their
songs OF cheer. Smith & Sale, publishers,

Nearly 400 Graduates of High
School Gather at Annual
Banquet and Meeting.

Former Instructor and Members Re-
call incidents of Days Gone by
To Publish a Directory.

The commencement week of fes-
tivities of the high school closed with
the annual banquet and reunion of
the alumni association at the high
school building Saturday evening.
There were nearly 400 alumni and
their friends gathered at the school
building, and so large was the at
tendance that the capacity of the
tables was taxed, and the executive
committee found itself up against
something of a problem to handle
the big crowd. The attendance was
far in excess of the number of ac-
eeptances, and the gathering was, the
largest ever held by the association
The alumni at 6:30 gathered in
the assembly room of the school, and
marched by classes to the places at
the long tables placed in the CORR
doris on the second floor. The mem
bers of the newly graduated class
occupied table by themselves, at
right angles with the longer table.
Provide for Directory.
Following the program, the assO-
citation held its annual business
meeting. The secretary, Miss Myrtle
Summers, read the minutes of the
1908 gathering, and Edward Brien,
treasurer, submitted a report of the
finances. Roy A. Sears, chairman of
the directory committee, reported
that the committee had secured the
addresses of all but about So of the
100 or more graduates and that
the committee expected to be able to
secure information regarding the
whereabouts of practically all CT the
SO not accounted for. The commit
tee recommended that the directory
be published, and reported that the
board of education, in recognition of
the value of an up to date list of
graduates, had made an appropria-
ton toward the publication and dis

undoubtedly in the future be as ia

PLAN TO USE PEAT.
Colonel Aston lnvents Machine Fol
Utilizing II For Fuel.


Colonel John Jacob Astor, who has
appeared frequently on the patent Of
flee records as an inventor of practical
devices, has applied for patent for
an invention which, 1t is expected, will
utilize the vast deposits Of peat found
In the United States and other parts
OF the world. Peat has been used with
fair success as a fuel. but because OF
the amount of water contained in ii
long season of drying is necessary
before it can be burned.
The vibrator disintegrator which has
been invented by Colonel Astor will.
1t Is believed. solve the problem of the
commercial manufacture of gas from
peat. The disintegrator utilities the
expansive force of the air and gases
within the porous peat to disrupt and
dlslntegrate the latter and to permit
1t to be thoroughly and uniformly
heated. The disintegrator will be
tested In peat fuel producer gas
plant which Colonel Astor is now
erecting at his country. place at Rhine
clif-on-the- Hudson, n. Y. The plant

of $50 horsepower
If the patent is allowed Colonel

general use.
