EXAMINATION DAYS
COMMENCEMENT TIME
Show A Good Many Students Salts
fled With The Lowest
Passing Per Cent.

The Omaha Bee discusses the matter
Of standing among pupils in our schools,
showing that many are satisfied just to
get through with the class, lacking
both ambition and industry to work for
higher standing. That paper says:
This is the season when Young
folks minds turn not lightly to final
exams. Commencement day draws
near Have you passed2" do you
think you will fiunkl" These are com
mon queries today. They pass from
lip to lip with more or less trepida
ton. There are usually two kinds of
students in every class, the one who
has put in his hardest ticks to get the
most out of his books and the one
who did just enough to make
grades" and get through. He is the
go per cent student Sixty por cent
we will take as the minimum grade for
passing. Ii he makes that and barely
gets through, he is content, while to do
no better than that would sorely dis
appoint the other student, with hopes
fixed on the 30 per cent, or even
higher mark
These sixty per cent and 30 per cent
people are 20 be found all through
life. outside as well as inside of the
school room and school days. They
are found in the shops and factories
and offices Here is man who can
hold his job by doing certain amount
of work day, a minimum amount.
His ambitions running no higher than
that particular job, he strives each day
to do no more than the minimum
amount of work. He is unwilling to
let himself out, to do his level best and
to give his employer all he can, because,
he argues, what is the use, do not
get paid for it; l get paid only for a
certain amount and no more" He
is the so per cent fellow. He manages
to hold onto to his job. But the time
comes when place above him must be
filed. To whom does his employer
look for the man to fill it, the 80 per
cent fellow. or the 90per cent fellow. the
one who was unwilling to do more than
the rules required, or the one who forgot
the minimum in his anxiety to reach
the maximum?
The school and college are but the
training stations for larger activities In
life. The young man or young woman
who forms the habit of slothfulness
there is very likely to practice it after
he gets out. OF course, what is called
grade student" is often not the one

New post-Master At Extra.

Frank Cramer has been recommended
for the position of postmaster at Extra
according to the word passed by the
politicians who think they know. For
some time there has been vigorous
contest among three active candidates,
Geo. Guernsey, Ralph Hawks and
Frank Cramer AS soon as Judge Green
was elected, he was called upon by the
and besought by their
friends to settle the matter in their
favor. That one should he. taken and
the others left has again been verified.
Choosing between candidates is much
like deciding between country hotels no
matter which you take you'll wish you
had taken the other Mr.. Cramer has
some experience as carrier which will
be of some help in his work.

ketchum Caught The Position.

Judge Green has appointed Charles
NJ Ketchum of Council Bluffs as his
political secretary. Mr.. Ketchum has
been for several years a resident Of
Council Bluffs and was assistant secre-
tary to Judge Smith during his last
campaign. Recently he was manager
of the Equitable Life Insurance Com
pany for Council Bluffs and adjoining
counties but in the last few weeks has
been travelling outside of the city. He
is stenographer, has done newspaper
work and isconsidered specially adapted
for the position. Congressman Green
will open an Office here at the close of
the present session and will probably
maintain one also at Council Bluffs, but
he will continue to reside in Audubon.

preparation and ability as an instructor
Miss Mae Mcclure of Davenport, who
had charge of the music in the Audubon
schools last year, is one of the best to
be secured in her line of work. Audu-

had cost England two hundred thousand
dollars to Christianize the Fiji Islands
but they now bought seven millions of
stuff annually from that country. 1t

CONSIDERATION SERVICE
Rev. Ed G. Fintel, pastor of Asbury
NJ. +. church in East Des Moines made
two addresses, The second was along
the line Of conservation to the work of
the Lord in whatever sphere of life any
one may be found. The hour was
serious and sacred. A number of the
young people offered themselves to go
as missionaries when they have made
the necessary preparation. Mr. Fintel
is young man who graduated from
Simpson College but eight years ago,
but he has been so consecrated and
successful in his work that he now has
a church of six hundred members in
the city of Des Moines. He will be
leader in the church before he reaches
his prime.
THE LEAGUE A FINE INSTITUTION
The Epworth League is one of the
regularly organized departments of the
Methodist church established by the
general conference. 1t is welding
much influence for good This is true
not only in spiritual and intellectual
lines but in social way. What is true
of the League is also true of other
young peoples societies. The social
features are of great value to the young
people, especially those who are away
from home. If their conduct is correct
they can attend the meeting every Sun
day and become acquainted with many
of the best young people; and they can
mingle in the social affairs and amuse-
ments furnished at intervals by the
League.

SOME EPWORTH LEAGUE
CONVENTION NOTES
Concerning Speakers And Addresses
Not Mentioned In Our Paper
OF Last Week.

The Audubon Chapter Is entitled to
much credit for the methodical way in
which they prepared for the convention,
and the happy manner in which they
handled the delegates upon their arrival
But few errors were made and those of
minor Importance which could be easily
rectified. The cabinet began the work
several months ago, appointed commit
tees. canvassed the town to secure
places for entertainment and set about
earning some money wherewith to pay
expenses so that no collections need be
taken at any of the meetings. They
feel under obligations to all within the
church, and more especially so TO those
without the church who responded so
willingly to open their homes to receive
and care for the guests.
AUDUBON HIGHLY HoNoRED
In his address of welcome to the
ministers and delegates attending the
Convention Mr.. j. NJ. Renftle referred
to the fact that Audubon has recently
furnished one public servant to the
state whose work as a legislator is
having a far reaching influence for
good in the better execution of the laws;
and another to the nation who is just
beginning his work as member of the
National Congress- Attorney General
Cosson was for years an active member
or the Audubon Chapter and both he
and Judge Green have been members
Of the Audubon Methodist Congregation.
FOREIGN MISSIONARY ADDRESS
Rev. DIR. Pease of Chicago, who has
spent the last ten years at Singapore,
China, gave two addresses bearing upon
the work of the missionaries in the
foreign field, especially as he has seen
it in the great Chinese Empire of the
east He Landed the Chinaman as q
big brawny sturdy race of people OF
much higher and better quality than
most of the little fellows who come to
this country. He said the Boxer
Movement" was caused by their fear of
the white peril" and they were not to
blame for becoming much alarmed. To
illustrate the steadfastness of purpose
of the natives who had espoused the
Christian faith he told touching story
of man who while burning at the
stake prayed for his murderers for they
knew not what they did. They were so
exercised over it that they opened his
body to see his new heart" of which

and expressive to a degree. The Span
iards-like the Moors-are ever speak
ing of the ayes of their ideal ones. The
Fascinating Spanish senorita has eX-
quisite manners, is an IDEAL hostess,
possesses an inexhaustible store of
smiling good humor, and never seems
to worry.
In happy, merry Denmark the woman
who lfascinates is beautiful, and fur
Their, she is bright, a good musician, a
sportswoman, an enthusiastic dancer,
an intelligent talker n a thorough
"manageress." II we turn to the Nor
wegian ideal we see that the "fascin-
ating" women of French or Austrian
society would not in the least fascinate
in the land of fhe Vikings. Even the
town dwellers there are ever thinking
of the country and the ideal woman to
them is she who loves and understands
the ford and the field, the mountain
lake, the dense forest. the torrent. She
is not afraid of walking for miles. of
facing any weather, or skiing, tobug-
gaming or skating for hours. She is
modest II religious, fond of children
and of flowers, and most conservative.

For Insomnia.

11AT MISS DOOu.
Will you kindly tell me what to do for
a slespless night. An Evening STAR
reader. A. II. f.
In the first place be sure that your
sleeping apartment has plenty of fresh
air and that the bed-covers are warm
but not too heavy for comfort. If pos
sible, free your mind from the cares
and worries of the past day before re-
firing and do not begin to plan the next
days work. 1t often rests the mind to
read for a while before going to bed.
Poetry Is especially good for this pur-
pose, as the rhythm is apt to have a
soothing effect. A brisk walk, followed
by a bath, is another good preparation
for the nights rest. A hot bath is more
conducive to sleep than a cold one, as
the latter stimulates circulation, but at
least a lukewarm spray 9hould follow
the hot bath, as n is vlry apt to take
cold when the pores o. the skin are
open. Avoid late suppers, but, on the
other hand, DO not go to bed hungry.
Apples constitute a good late repast.
You might add to your treatment a
nightly massage of the head. This
makes one drowsy and ready for
dreamland. If o Il mind is free from
worries. your led comfortable and your
room airy, you should have no trouble
in spending a .restful. night. If you
continue to be troubled with insomnia.
1 advise o to consult a physician, as
a sleepless night is sure to leave you
unfit for your days dutier.

thoroughly with four level tablespoons
of creamed butter, then add two table
spoons of milk, a level teaspoon of salt,
a little pepper and a few drops of onion
