PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.

Following is the address delivered
by Cecil Starring, president OF the
graduating class of the college, at the
class day exercises Monday evening.
Fellow students, members OF the
faculty, friends of the State College
and OF the clas, OF 1911, we BIZ
you welcome to these exercise,
Though they may not mean as
much to YOU a, they do to rs. vet
we lrust you will find much OF in
tere in the event, OF the evening.
As YOU have probably Motel our
program is a Slight departure from
those rendered by preceding clas-
oes We have no class poem. Our
poet prefers first to test his theories
in the field of practical experience.
Then his song will be in no I'M
certain, W~avering tones, but in
tones that are full rounded and
strong, backed by the confidence
gained through contact with the
world. We have no charges to
make to the faculty nor to the Jun
iors, not that they are 50 perfect,
so righteous that they have no need
of friendly advice. On the contrary
they are sadly in need of paternal
remonstrance and suggestions.
These we propose to give, but in
a different manner as YOU will pres
entity see, and it would be we'll for
them to pay close attention to the
instructions given for it is not often
they have an opportunity to hear
such wisdom, wisdom that can only
cmanate from the fertile and active
brains Of Seniors. Neither have
we a class propheSy, believing it
better for mar to struggle without
knowledge of his destination. We
have chosen rather to lift our
voices in song, trusting in the Ell
hcancv Of music to soften the
heart, which may harden toward
Us ere the evening is done.
These exercises mark the closing
OF our college days. For four
wears we have labOred under a kind
and patient faculty. We have
passed through the regions OF the
unknowns, we have delved into the
realms Of botany, zoology, agricul-
ture. engineering and domestic
science. Why this labor amid the
obnoxious fumes Of the laboratory
WHY this burning Of the midnight
oil? Why all the bonhreS, Weanies
and white ROBBED parades. Why 90

ton. one which we have asked our
selves many times. Nor do We

as Fencing in Abandoned
School Grounds.

Investigation II being conducted by
Prosecuting Attorney Charles Ladd
which may lead to the arrest Of Ste

land owner Of New Garden township.

New Garden township trustee, Claude

Gently violated a court ruling Of two
years ago. and fenced in the grounds
of the Pleasant Plains school which
was abandoned number of years ago
because there were not twelve or more
pupils In average attendance.
Upon the creation of the school dis
trict part Of the farm now owned by
Thomas was condemned for the school
building and grounds and in the trans
fer OF the property, the land owner
had clause to the deed inserted. in
which 1t was agreed by the township
ofhcials that the title to the property
should revert to the owner of the farm
upon the school being abandoned.
Two years ago the school was aban-
doned and Thomas at once asked pos
session Of the grounds and building.
but this was refused and in litigation
In the circuit court, Thomas was rul-
ed against. The courts decision in
brief was that the school was but
temporarily abandoned and that the
meaning of the word abandoned In
the bill of sale of the property meant
permanently abandoned for school
purposes"
In conjunction with this ruling. the
state board of education afirmed the
courts ruling and adopted 1t az apply

BOOSTERS FOR THE
! NORTHWEST GATHER.
Delegates from Eight States
Holding Convention at
Butte, Mont.
american News Service,

Helena. Mont. May 4.-Delegates
from eight states assembled in Helena
today to organize the Northwestern
Development league and to consider
ways and means to check the flow OF
immigration into Western Canada.
The states interested in the movement
are Washington, Oregon. Idaho. Utah.
Wyoming, North and South Dakota
and Minnesota. Each state has sent
a large and influential delegation to
the conference and several Of the COM
monwealths are represented by their
governors. Merchants. manufactur,
ers. agriculturists, mining men and
railroad officials are included In the
attendance.
The interested states have awaken
ed to the fact that IL American settlers
are to be kept on this side of the
international border and If colonists
and capital from the East and from
abroad are to be attracted to this
section of the country, these results
can be attained only by following the
example of the Canadian government
and the several western provinces
and municipalities in pursuing broad
and thorough campaign of publicity
and promotion. To form a permanent
league to conduct this campaign and
to secure the cooperation of the peo-
pie and the commercial and industrial
organizations of the interested states
are the chief objects Of the two days
conference now in session.
Since the conference was called by
Governor Norris, however, it's scope
has broadened until every conceivable
phase of conservation and develop
ment of the Northwest has been in
cluded and it will provide probably
the most exhaustive treatment Of
those problems ever presented in this
section Of the country. A few Of the
subject which will be discussed by ex-
perts of wide reputation are various
farm conservation problems, the de-
velopment of the mineral resources OF
the several states, the encouragement
OF manufacturers, live stock and dairy
powers, forestry and the lumber In
dustry, and, most important Of all.
state advertising and the settlement
of farm lands.

An AMERICAN BRIDE
IN AFRICAN CASTLE
Built as Means Of Defense by
Her Husband, Captain
Won Wolf.

Berlin, May 4.-The wife OF Captain
Hans Heinrich Won Wolf, daughter Of
the late DR.. Frederick Humphreys, Of
New York city, and Of Mrs. Fanny s.
Humphreys. formerly president Of the
American Council Of Women and now
wife Of Thomas st. John Gaffney. con-
sul-general for the United States at
Dresden. ID living In the medieval
castle which her husband has just
completed on his vast estates in the
interior Of German Southwest Africa.
Though many American girls have
married into castles, some of which
are genuinely medieval Frau Won
Wolf IL the only American woman who
can claim to occupy castle which is
In q complete state of defense against
a real enemy whose attacks may come
at any moment and would be repealed
by methods in vogue in the middle
ages.
Captain Won Wolf has not designed
his castle az q freak Of fancy, but out
Of stern necessity. Only such de-
Tense would render the home Of his
bride safe from the hordes Of savages
who swarm in the interior and who
attack In numbers too great to be driv-
en- off by rifles.
When the captain took his bride out
to Duwisib on their honeymoon he
expected that In q little while the
country would become entirely peace
full. but me has been disappointed. The
temper of the natives continues such
that an Instruction on large scale
may come at any time. He does not
want to share the fate Of the German
farmers whose rifles and plaster wallis
have proved NO protection against the
hordes of crazed savages who throng
out of the forests with death in their
hearts.
The castle is built and fortified In
the very best style of three hundred
years ago. It has two towers, q huge
inner courtyard with water supply.
barbicans. portcullises. and all the 9TH
er features usually only heard Of In
connection with European ruins. It
can be provisioned In few hours to
stand siege Of months. for Captain
Won Wolf devotes his estate mostly to
raising Angora sheep and special
breeds Of cattle. az well as horses.
of which he is lover. 1t il called
Castle Duwisib.
There Frau Won Wolf Is the chate-
laine of the castle, as In ancient days
sung by the poets. and she has good
~ band Of retainers, just AZ Of yore,
who can be summoned to the defense
Of their lord and master and his lady
ut any moment
Frau Won Wolf delights in the life
at Duwisib. Before her marriage she
was the first American girl to ride
astride at Lenox, Mass. She il an ac-
|complished horsewomAn and vastly en-
Joys riding over theboundless veldts
|of Southwest Africa.
Their estate In rich in minerals. ev-
en- diamonds, and when she came back
after their honeymoon she brought
many diamonds in the rough taken
from her own diamond fields.
