High School Commencement.

@As6h oehOpA SoAih1VhNSAiS1Ss
One of the most important
events of the year is always the
commencement" or closing exer-
cises of the schools and with the
large class of thirty-five gradu-
ates of our high school this year
the occasion was especially mark
ed.
For some unknown reason-pos-
sibly only habit contracted by
our people-the exercises did not
begin till s.45, At S.35 Vawter's
orchestra relieved the situation
somewhat by playing a selection.
The invocation was by Elder b. L..
Wharton.
The program was long one and
many of the numbers were of spe-
cial merit, while several showed
ability that marked the authors
as persons who will be heard from
in the future. Il
We had hoped to comment on
the individual renditions, but ow-
ing to the fact that there were sew
eral parts that were only ord nary
and since we do not want to Of
fend by criticising or omitting any
one and yet sustain our policy of
sticking strictly to the truh we
must, refrain from comments en-
tirely. In a general way We may
add that some of our young folks
are possibly paying too much at
tention to social pleasures at the
expense of their books or possibly
they think "dads' money" will
carry them through life. There
is no shortcut road to learning
and success. Hard and prt stent
work only leads there.
The stage was prettily decorated
and with the fine class of young
folks, the effect was striking. Vaw
ter's orchestra furnished a number
of enjoyable selections. Miss Mar
garet 'Klinger, one of Marshall's
leading pianists, was accompanist.
Attorney T. H. Harvey presented
the diplomas. -
At the conclusion of the program
Superintendent Edmiston read the
following rank of the seniors, also

court, the administration is planning
a crusade against the trusts such as
this country has never seen since the
passage of the sherman antitrust law

President Taft is waiting only for
the decision of the supreme court in

the trusts He is firmly convinced
that the highest judicial tribunal will
decide against the oil trust and the to-
bacco trust. and after that he intends
to begin the prosecution of every IL

Already the department of justice
has started Investigations of many cor
pOrations which are operating in re-

and by Illegally maintaining a monopo.

SeC'y Wilson TestifieS Be-
fore Congress Committee.
SAYS FARMER GETS LITTLE.
Calves Sell at Cent a Pound
Cheaper Than Formerly, Yet
Price of Veal Has Risen
20 to 80 Per Cent.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Secretary of
Agriculture James Wilson testified be-
fore the Moore special committee of
the house of representatives, which
on a basis of a measure to prohibit
the storage of perishable foodstuffs
for a longer period than six months
in the District of Columbia has inau-
gurated an investigation of wide scope
and purpose.
1t is intended to call experts from
the agricultural department, farmers,
commission men, wholesalers and re-
tailers from Washington and else
where. 1t is intended through the va
rious District of Columbia agencies to
go into the whole question of the ad-
vance in prices from the farm TO the
city residences that not only the
health of the community with regard
TO storage, but also in prices as be-
tween the producer and consumer,
would be considered.
Secretary Wilson made the state
ment that the farmers, although they
were admittedly getting good prices
for their products at this time, re-
ceived very little if any of the great
increases in the prices of food prod
uctS.
1--WE found" he said. during the
course of our inquiry that the two
year-old steer on the farm can be
bought today just as cheaply as twelve
years ago"
Representative Wiley of New Jersey
here broke in ON the secretary to say
that friend of his who has a big
farm in New Jersey where food cattle
are fattened for market told him that
he has to sell calves at cent pound
cheaper now than formerly.
But" said Mr. Wiley, Il under
stand that the retail price of veal in
the District of Columbia has advanced
from 20 to 80 per cent"
THAT is true" said Mr.. Wilson. 81
am fully convinced that the food prod
ucts of the American farm are being
sold in foreign countries cheaper thar
in the United States. This is not due
as some have said, to the excess OF
production over consumption and the
necessity for getting rid of the surplus
abroad. 1t is due to the trusts-just t

KATHERINE GoULD's DRESSES.
Sued by Milliners, She Says Her For
mer Husband Is Responsible.

New York, Jan. 25.-Mrs. Katherine
Clemmons Gould appeared in the su-
preme court for the first time since she
got her separation from Howard Gould
to defend suit brought by Malcolm
Butler as assignee of a millinery firm
TO recover $26S0 from her for wearing
apparel.
The plaintiff called witnesses to sup
port its contention that Mrs. Gould
bought all her wearing apparel in her
own name and paid for it with her
personal checks, some signed Rather
inc Gould and some Mrs. Howard
Gould.
Mrs. Gould testified that on Dec. 4,
1906, she was notified that her hus-
band had refused to settle bill there,
and she went down to see the head
milliner. He admitted, she said, that
he had no claim on her and said he
was going to sue Mr.. Gould.
AS Mrs. Gould was leaving court
she was served with papers in a suit
brought against her by big" Hawley.
The suit is said TO be over money lent
TO Mrs. Gould by Hawley.
