Food Prices Out of Reason, Says
Gibbons.

Washington, Jan. 17.-"Prices
for food products are clearly out of
reason" said Cardinal Gibbons in
an interview last night, "and the
people cannot 60 on paying such
prices when they are not earning
any more than they were some
years when prices were not so high"
The cardinal was unable to assign
a reason for prevailing high prices,
but he said something evidently
is wrong when many of the COM
monest necessities in foods are
priced at such enormous figures" I"
Something must be done soon."
said the cardinal, to put the prices
of foods on a reasonable basis and
any method which will bring this
about will endorse"

Entertaining.

Jedediah Judkins J. P, assisted
by the Symphony Orchestra again
drew a large audience to the opera
house last Friday evening.
The cast of characters in Jede-
diah Judkins was a strong one, each
filling his or her place with great
credit.
Those who have heard the SYM
phOny Orchestra once always want
to hear it again, as it is one of the
strongest musical organizations
that ever appeared before a Monroe
audience and some good ones have
been here.
With these two big attractions
it is no wonder that there was such
a large large crowd at the second
presentation.

Good Dividends.

While the government postal de-
partment has a deficit of $17,000,-
900, the express companies are in
clover. The WeIls-Fargo Express
Company presented its stockholders
with a dividend of 800 per cent,
amounting to $24,O0O,000. The
American, with its stock half water,
paid IL per cent and had a surplus
which brought interest amounting
to $1,178,000. The Adams has in
recent years, in addition to high
regular dividends, distributed addi-
tional, accumulated profits in special
dividends, amounting to $36,000,000
and last year received from its ac-
cumulated profits not yet distrib-
uted, an income of over $1,000,000.
So that another distribution divi-
dend of 100 per cent is about due
the Adams shareholders.

which the the interests" milk the

A Thousand Successful Men.

l have on my desk the names Of
1000 successful men of this nation.
By successful / do not mean mere
money makers, but men who give
us new conceptions of steam, cleo
tricity, construction work, educa-
tion. art, etc. These are the men
who influence our moral as well as
physical lives. They construct for
better things.
How these men started in life is
interesting.
Three hundred started as farm
er's sons, 200 started as messenger
boys, 200 were newsboyS. 100 were
printers apprentices, 100 were ap,
prenticed manufactures. so be.
gan at the bottom of railway work
only so had wealthy parents tC
give them a start.
The above list was made up in
the East "a list of 1000 western
men would contain twice as many
from the farm, few messenger boys
and still fewer who had wealthy
parents to give them a start. Ju-

To the Disheartened Merchant.

If your trade is disappointing,
and you're feeling awful blue, and
you fear the coming season will
be no help to you, don't sit around
and bellyache, but with new cour
age rise and say, I'll try another
plan; I'm going to advertise"
Many things can be accomplish
ed by the use Of printers ink. You
may lead a horse to water but you
can not make him drink. But tell
the world Of what you have, and
you will win the prize.
The easiest way to do it is to &c

SENIOR STUDENTS
IN CLASSIC GARb|
Upper CIassmen of University
Observe Chapel Day in
Caps and Gowns.

The annual senior chapel day at the
university yesterday was the most sue
cessful OF this character that has ever
been held by the students. The seniors
appeared for the first time In cap and
gown at $50 o'clock. and went to their
classes in this classic garb. At II o'clock
all OF the senior classes were dismissed
and the members met on the library steps
for their official picture. Previous to
their going to the museum building, where
the exercises for the day were held, the
, junior boys dressed in white gowns and
white caps, marched around the campus
carrying sign which read: Not yet.
but soon.'' At 1880 the seniors fell in line
and marched to the museum building.
They were followed by the junior boys ar
rayed in their virgin gowns.
AS the seniors entered the hall they
We're greeted with lusty cheers. They
were arranged on the rostrum and to their
right sat the members of the faculty and
the speakers.
President A. A. Anderson of the class
gave a brief history of the things the
class had done since they had been at
the university. President Anderson was
two baritone solos. The Rev. Elmer l.
Goshen then pronounced the Invocation
o. w. Powers, the speaker of the day,
spoke of the things which the senior class
would be expected to do after they left
the university, He told the seniors or
the many stormy seas they would have
to traverse in their life. He urged upon
the members to be sincere and honest and
develop self-contrOl.
1.-THE greatest genius Of the world, he
said, 'is not the one who is naturally
born, but the one who makes himself by
hard, earnest and conscientious work Be
honest and / am sure you will succeed in
whatever walk of life you follow after
you leave the halls of the university"
The exercises were completed by the
rendering of two violin selections by Miss
Chloe Sharp.
When the seniors marched from the hall
they were followed by the Junior class.
They marched to the university campus,
where l.. II. Hamren, posing as the pres
ident delivered to each junior a diploma.
Each member of the class represented
some one of the seniors. The burlesque
was quite original
From o'clock until o'clock the seniors
entertained their friends and the friends
of the institution at an informal reception.
From O'Clock until 6 O'Clock a dance was
given in the mems gymnasium.
A fitting climax to the day was the ap--
pearance of the class In their caps and
gowns at the Orpheum in the evening.
The class had the lower boxes. The boxes
were decorated with the pennants of the
university and the flags OF the class. Dur
ing the intermission the class gave vent
to their feelings by Justify giving their
college yells. After the theatre the class
members took dinner at one of the down
town cafes.
