According to the records Of The
county superintendents Office seventy
five young people in Grady county
have completed the common school
course during the past year and are
now candidates for high school
courses. The first examination gave
certificates Of graduation from the
eighth grade to Ss boys and girls and
the second examination gave certifi-
Gates to 81 common school graduates.
During the year there has been 1855
eighth grade students who have en-
rolled and tried for the graduation
certificate. but ll0 have failed. ~sev-
ents>five may seem a small per cent
OF the total number" said Mr. Newell
in speaking Of the comparisons Of
those who succeeded and those who
failed, but it is as good an average
as any county in the state can show, .
The object Of the eighth grade ex-
aminations is to ascertain who Of the
common school students cre ready for
higher work. The school work Of the
grades under the ninth grade counts
for more in the work Of securing an
education than any other part Of the
course
Mr. Newell says that It is his aim TO
give the students Of this county the
very best training while they are get.
ting the fundamental work In an edu-
cationai career.

SPUDS WILL COME DOWN.
Commission Man Ayers That Pota-
toes Will be as Cheap in JAN
uary as i'm October.

Des Moines, Sept. 25.-Provident
housewives, who have been planning
to lay in winters supply of vege-
tables, will do far better financially
to dispense with the usual custom
this fall, particularly in regard to
potatoes. So declare the local COM
mission men. A prominent whole
saler last week declared that pota-
toes would be just as cheap and pos
sibly cheaper in January and March
as they will be in October. This
prediction is based upon the fact
that the scare of a shortage in the
crop has caused the farmers to store
their potatoes. This is not particu-
larly true in this state. as the crop is
short here, but in other states the
staple food is being boarded.
According to the wholesaler, the
supply will be found sufficient as the
winter months approach and then
the farmers will begin to unload
their potatoes on the market. AS a
further objection to laying In a win
ter supply he declares that the
shrinkage will be from Is to 20 per
cent where potatoes are stored dur
ing October.

Obituary.,

In our last weeks issue we an
nounced the death of Hans II. Holm
but at that time were unable to pub
lish a suitable obituary.
Hans III. Holm was born Feb. G
1870 in Kongsvinger, Norway, where
he grew up and learned the bakers
trade. He came to America and to
DEBORAH in 1891, and has made his
home here most of the time since
In 1898 he was married to Miss Hen
ricka knutson, who survives him, to-
gether with seven children. He Is
also survived by his mother, two sis
ters and three brothers, in Norway
The funeral services were held on
Thursday afternoon, from the United
Lutheran church, with interment in
the Norwegian cemetery.
Mr.. Holm was an industrious man,
competent workman, and a good
citizen. He was employed in the
different bakeries of DEBORAH, and
since last spring has conducted a
business himself, in the +. Rosen-
thai building, and was developing a
very satisfactory trade. He had many
friends in DEBORAH who unite in SYM
pathy to the bereaved family.
