Won't You Do II Now?

This is the season for planting
seed; tits also the printers time OF
need. Sow radish seed, and let
tuce, too, and pay the printer what
ever is due. Go build for yourself
an onion bed, but remember the
printer must be fed. Sow several
rows Of early peas, and pay for
last years paper, please. Dig up
the earth round each strawberry
vine; '(if you want The BLADE,
please drop us a line). Plant some
potatoes to put in the hash, and
remember the printers short OF
of cash. Fix up hill or two OF
beans, and with ye editor divide
your means. Of watermelons you'll
need a patch-the editors pants
need one to match. Pay your sub
seription, then plant your corn,
and you'll raise big crop, as sure
as you're born.

EIGHTH GRADE COMMENCEMENT
Grammar School Exercises Held Thursday Night
Before Audience Of Admiring Friends

A large crowd was present atthe
grammar school commencement at
the opera house Thursday evening.
A class Of fourteen, eight girls and
six boys, had completed the course
and received certificates Of gradua-
tion. The class this year compares
favorably with the classes that have
preceded them, their exercises
Thursday evening showed that they
have done their work thoroughly.
Every number on the program was
fine. The drill by the boys and the
May pole dance by the girls and the
songs by the lower grades were ex-
ceptionally interesting, the saluta-
tory and valedictory addresses were
excellent, the readings and play
were good and the splendid debate
was won by the negative.
The following program was
rendered: Chorus from Merry
Milkmaids," school; salutatory,
Emma Edwards; reading, The
Railroad Crossing," Grace Haight;
debate, Resolved, That Steam is of
More Value to Mankind than Elec-

Special Election Next Monday

The special election to vote on
exte nding the city limits will be
held next Monday, April 25. There
is little or no doubt that the pro-
position will carry. So far as we
have heard, the only opposition
from those who own property IN
the proposed addition is based on
the increase in amount OF taxes,
but we have been Informed that
the city tax at the present valua-
ton and rate will not run above
So. so on anyone included IN the
district and runs from that down
to 25 cents, so that the tax ques-
ton ought not weigh very heavily
against the proposition, In the
face of the many advantages 1t Will
afford those included in the exten-
sion. Some of them have already
been asking the city council to
build crossings for them and they
will never get crossings or anything
else of that nature until they be-
come part of the city. While some
| of the voters of Laclede are opposed
to expansion, ON general principles,
THE BLADE is for anything that
will improve Laclede in any way
more territory, more buildings,
more people, more business houses
| in certain lines-and gives its I'M
Qualified approval to this measure.
This is step that must necessarily
be taken within few years and ii
seems to us best that it should be
taken now while the city's finances
are in condition to make the I'M
provements that are needed on the
streets of the proposed extension.
