COMMENCEMENT, 1910.

- = 10" esVsS sSsVs
The Third Annual Commencement
OF the Ordway High school was held
at the Evangelical church, May 27,
1910.
The house was tastcfully and
lavishly bedecked with the class colors,
yellow and green, an elaborate arch of
green vines rose over the platform,
while immense palms, dainty ferns
and blooming plants finished the ar
tistic decorations. The house was
tllled to its utmost capacity.
The exercises were opened with
piano number, a march executed by
Miss Belle Sale, during which the
graduates entered and took their
seats on the platform.
The class consisted entirely OF girls
They were dressed in white and wore
the regal class flower, the American
Beauty rose.
The invocation was offered by Rev.
G. 5. SteinmetZ after which the
Greene-Tiedemann orchestra fur
nished some excellent music.
The salutatory was then given In
Miss Mary Freeman's clear, sweet
voice. and was an evidence OF the
splendid work which had been done by
the class.
A recitation, from Webster, by
Miss Hazel Mock, was next on the
program. 1t had been carefully chosen
and faithfully mastered. 1t was thor
oughly appreciated by all.
A vocal solo by Miss WOodard gave
variety and added Il touch Of artistic
excellence TO the program.
Miss Edna Mclvcr's Grafton, cnti.
tied, what Can l Do?" was full OF
original thought and splendid up-to.
date ideas that were pleasing and cdi-
flying.
After music by the orchestra Miss
Lillian Trottcr gave an Grafton en-
titled Roosevelt. Those who knew
the young lady realized that the ora
tion followed a characteristic line OF
thought, while her open, fearless
manner OF delivery evidenced the fact
that the speaker was as much at
home before an audience OF a thou
sand as before the family group at
hume.
Mrs. Montgomery then favored the
audie nee with one Of her rare, sweet
songs, after which the Valedlctory
was given by Miss Marion Bass. This
was splendid climax Of the work OF
the class. II exposed the fidelity and
close ties OF fellowship which had cX-
istcd so long aud vii ich were about to
be severed. 1t bespoke for the class
their readiness To take up the more
responsible positions Of life whithcrso-
ever they might find them.
Professor Van loose then introduced
DR.. X. W. Corwin, OF the star Of
Minncqua hospital ut Pueblo, and
one Of the most eminent medical men
In the state, who made the address
to the class. From the standpoint Of
Il physician the doctor declared to the
class.tlat their ply steal career was Of
paramount Importance because upon
their physical condition must depend
their highest success in any line OF
work. The address gave much valua-
bic information to all and will doubt.

NEW MEN ON
SCHOOL BOARD
Messrs. A. AsIeson and G. A.
Patton Elected at An
nuaI Meeting.

The annual school meeting last
Saturday evening resulted in the
election of Messrs. A. Asleson and
G. A. Patton, 102 votes being counted
by the telIers. While this is not a
large vote in district containing
nearly thousand votes, men and
women, it is larger than has been
cast for several years, owing to the
too general indifference that is
manifested over an important mat
ter. When it is considered that
more money is collected and dis
bursed annually for city schools
than for all other city expenses, the
Importance of school elections ought
to be apparent.
With the board as now consti-
tuted Messrs. Aune, Baldwin,
Cooper, Mclean, Asleson and Patton,
the people have the services of the
keenest and most conservative bust
ness men as well as those represent
ing what is best in our social life.
The Gazette regrets a little that
President Peterson's friends did not
see to it that he was reelected. but
the Chautauqua tent was more al
Turing than the school house about
that time, and the friends Of his
competitor won out 81 to 45. The
other retiring member, Mr.. Aiken,
appreciates the complimentary vote
on the part of those who wrote his
name on their ballots, but was sin
cere in stating last week that there
were sufficient reasons why he
should give way to new member.

3 CHILDREN
IN ONE GRAVE
Willis DeGroat Family Loses
Three Young Children
Within "a Hours.

The sudden death of the three
youngest children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Willis DeGroat, at their home some
distance west of this city, last We'd
nesday and Thursday. was an event
so tragic as to callout both sympa-
thy and alarm at the time. The
youngest, a babe of FIVE months,
first died from pneumonia following
measles, and the same day second
child expired in a spasm, the third
dying the next morning. The oldest
child was only five years old. and
all three were inferred together in
the Redwood Falls cemetery Satur-
day, Rev. Ehrstein conducting the
funeral service in a grove near the
DeGroat home. The doctor states
that death was due to complications
attending measles. analysis made at
the state board of health laboratory
showing no trace of a more virulent
disease.

AT STATE FAIR
Start Made for County Dis
play of Farm Products
at Hamline.

JOS. Tyson, P. O. CalIaghan and
G. Fred. Thompson collected num-
Der of samples of grains and grasses
last Monday. with view to a start
for county exhibit at the state
fair next fall. and the county COM
missioners will be asked to make a
small appropriation to defray the
expense Of arranging and transport
ing the display. This is a step in
the right direction. and we hope to
see considerable rivalry between the
different towns Of this county as to
which shall have the best show.
Morgan is already agitating a fall
display and award of prizes the
same as last fall, and Redwood Falls
should look to its laurels.

TOUR
HERE MONDAY
Redwood County Auto Club
Preparing for Warm
Reception.

Members of the Redwood County
Auto Club and other local JOY riders
are greatly interested in the pros
pective reception of the Glidden
tour party here next Monday.
The itinerary of the tour plans
for the departure of fifty or sixty
cars with $50 or more passengers
from St. Paul to Albert Lea the
morning of July 22d. Albert Lea to
Mankato in the afternoon. Saturday
the party goes on to Sioux Falls,
where they will stay over Sunday,
coming back next morning to Mar
shall, where they will be banqueted
and cent over the course to Redwood
Falls by way Of Cottonwood and
Wood Lake. arriving here some time
in the afternoon.
Plans for the reception here are
not fully completed, but the locals
are bound to show the bunch a good
time and let them know that Red
wood Falls is some class. if not in
the first class.
Two Redwood Falls boosters will
start from st. Paul for the tour,
President R. Stensvad of the county
auto club having entered his car,
while c.. K. Odekirk will accompany

driven home in the evening by Col.
Gearhart's magnificent sermon on
Civic Righteousness. Such a course
in practical politics every year would
tend to make the stay-at-home voter
who was held up to ridicule rarer
bird than he is at present, and our
politics cleaner.
And when we heard ]. Mohammed
Ali Sunday evening tell Of some of
the conditions of the three hundred
millions of human beings who peo-
pie India, it was certainly enough to
make an American ashamed of
grumbling at conditions and taxes
as he finds them in the land of the
free.
The Midland Jubilee singers make
real harmony, the male quartette
showing voices especially well blend
ed. It would appear that the vogue
for camp-meeting singing has waned,
however, and audiences are best sat-
isfied when they listen to sensible
words as well as real melodies part
of the time.
Miss Killings work here will not
soon be forgotten by those who
attended the encampment here, both
old and young. If it is not feasible
to have her assistance here next
year, some other physical instructor
for children should be secured to
take her place.
The New York Trio ladies have
pleasing personalities. The whistling
soloist was deserving of the applause
given her, and the readings and little
plays given by them fitted in very
well. But 0 that singing!
Rita Rich has nice voice but her
program given here did not appeal.

fine HARVEST
ON THIS WEEK
Farmers Busy and Smiling Be-
cause of Coed Yields
in Sight.

About the earliest harvest for
quite a while has been opened up
the past week in this vicinity, a
great many having started in with
cutting oats already, which will be a
pretty good crop except on gravely
or shallow soil. The early wheat
is looking fine, by all accounts, and
there will be some fine reports from
the thresher, or we miss our guess.
And our corn fields speak for them
selves and are simply immense, the
admiration of all strangers who
come from the traditional corn
states.
We hear of threshing machines
starting in on barley next week,
which looks like a new record for
that business.
