The Country Boys Advantage

There is a peculiar quality of
superiority which comes from
dealing with realities that we
do not find in the superficial
city conditions, says Orison
SWEET Marden in Success Mag
azine. The life-giving oxygen,
breathed in great inspirations
through constant muscular eff
fort, develops in the country
boy much greater lung power
than is developed in the city
youth, and his outdoor work
tends to build up a robust con-
stitution. Flowing, hoeing,
moving, everything he does on
the farm gives him vigor and
strength. His muscles are
harder. his flesh firmer, and his
brain fiber partakes of the same
superior quality. He is con-
stantly building up forces, stor-
ing up energy in his brain and
muscles which later may be
powerful factors in shaping the
nations destiny, or which may
furnish backbone to keep the
ship of state from foundering
on the rocks. This marvellous
reserve power which he stores
up in the country will come out
in the successful banker, states
man, lawyer, merchant or busi-
ness man.

Birds, Boys, Beware

Say, boys, do you think you
are giving the birds a square
deal? Do you know it's con-
lrary to law to use niger
shooters, air guns or any gun
that will enable you to kill the
innocent warblers around our
homes? Parents should so
train the mind of a boy that he
will have no inclination to
KILL something. Fostering
this desire is what produces a
murderer. The murder trials
that have disgraced our fair
city in the past and caused the
odium which ever clings to the
murderer and makes everyone
shun him as a viper. Now,
boys, 10 one sympathizes with
vou moro thar The writer, hut,
it dopsn'e SEE m 10 be necessary
To si'l something in order to
Ell ! ife and as there is an
o finance against this ruthless
destruction of the birds. "A
hin' to the wise is enough.

Resolutions on the Death of
Sister Unmack.

Whereas the Great and Su-
preme Ruler of the universe
has in His infinite wisdom re-
moved from our midst one of
our worthy and esteemed sis
ters, May e. Unmack,
And whereas the long and
intimate relationship held with
her in the faithful discharge of
her duties in Esther Court No.
q, Tribe of Ben Hur, makes it
eminently befitting and proper
that we record our appreciation
of her.
Therefore be it resolved,
that the wisdom and ability
that she exercised in the aid of
our court by service, contribu-
tion and counsel will be held in
grateful remembrance.
Resolved, that the removal of
such a life from our midst
leaves a vacancy and shadow
that will be deeply realized by
all members and friends of
this court.
Resolved, that with deep
sympathy for the bereaved rel
atives of the deceased we ex-
press our hope that even so
great a loss to us all may be
overruled for good by Him WHO
does all things we'll.
Resolved that acopy of these
resolutions be spread upon the,
minutes of this Court, a cory.
be printed in the local paper
and a copy forwarded to the
bereaved family. Also that our
charter be draped in mourning
for thirty days.

Picnic

The cast of Cupid at Vassar,
high school orchestra and facul-
ty of Aforesaid high school en-
| joyed about six hours of hilar-
|ity in the woods about four
miles north of town last even
ling. After arriving at destina-
tion Messrs. Fields and Rudow
took care of the camp fires
They proved themselves to be
good firemen. About this time
Professor White, of the Science
department, usually called
'Doc", kept asking "Isn't sup
per about ready Perhaps
the smell of roasting weenies
remi nded him of his home in
the "show-me" state, common
| ly called Missouri. Misses
Kleespie and Duboc instructed
the party how to roast weenies
on sticks, provided for by
Fields and Rudow, to the sor-
row of the forest. Idabel
Briggs and Mildred Raymond
managed to make coffee for the
crowd. Some said it was just
as good as the R. R. Eating
House coffee. Eggs were to
have been on the menu but a
number of the boys corralled
them and had an egg fight.
Frank Hardy, Sterling Beckley
and Harry Roberts got the
worst of the egg fight. They
came out of it looking like a
bunch of scrambled eggs.
While all this was going on
Prof. White became hungry
again. The girls finally took
pity upon him and supper was
served.
After grub-time the hilarious
crowd played catch and tag

Mathematics proved himself to
be a good cat her of the girls,

time should the following class
es continue with the plan.
The Missouri Valley Base
Ball team are feeling very
good. Three games, one lost
and two won. The defeat at
Onawa will be atoned for this
week on the home ground
when the boys will again meet
the team from Onawa. Come
out and see the boys cover up
the blunders of the other game.
Several teachers are yet to
be secured for next year. One
grade position, the principal
ship of First Ward. Mrs.
Royce of the grammar room at
Second Ward was offered the
position but prefers to remain
in her pre- ent position. Miss
Mackey leaves the position to
teach in the Minneapolis
schools next year. Fourplaces
in the high school are open.
Mr. Terlouw leaves the mathe-
matics department. to take up
work in the University of
Minnesota. Mr.. White leaves
the Science department.. Mr..
E ldow of the Manual Training
department., tho offered $40
more a month 10 remain here
$50 a month, will go to Wilmer,
Mimi, to take charge of the
Manual Training work at that
place. This is a good promo
tion for Mr.. Rudow as the city
is considerable larger than Mo.
Valley and the position pays
$lO0 a month. Mr.. Field
leaves the Principalship of the
high school to accept a similar
position at Centerville, Iowa.
Mr.. Field is very worthy of
this promotion and tho the
board tried to hold him by re
electing him at an advance OF
500 over this years wages,
the Centerville people thought
him good enough to make the
advance 5000. The board are
considering applications for the
above places and hope by the
end of the year to have them
all filled. The vacancy in the
Superintendency, caused by the
decision of Supt. L. C. Bryan
to retire from school work, has
been filled by the election of
Supt. L l. Reed, of Jefferson.
The board believe they have a
good man in Mr.. Reed and will
pay him $500 a year. This is
500 more a year than the po-
sition has ever paid. Mr.. Reed
was receiving $1,000 at Jeffer-
son so this addition was made
necessary in order to get him.
The board, however, are deter
mined to get the best teachers
the district can afford and have
already added $500 to the pay
roll for next year. The people
are fortunate in having for
their Supt. Mr.. Reed. Mr..
Reed represents progress in
education, He comes from the
State Teachers College and the
State University and has had
several years successful ex-
perience in the work as SUPER
intendent. He has ably filled
the position at Northwood,
Odebo]t ard Jefferson. Mr..
Reed is a frank. straightfor-
ward man of 81. He has a
wife and child, is a member of
the Methodist church, and
stands for all that is good in
whatever community he may
be in.
The Junior class will give
the annual class banquet to the
Class of 1911 one week from
Friday evening, May 19. This
will be a big affair, as both
classes are unusually large.

Musical Recital

yeSts rday to a limited number
of the friends Of Mrs. Spafard's s
pupils for a recital. Mrs. Spaf.
ard is a painstaking and con.
scientious instructor and her
pupils bear evidence of these
traits in their tutor.
The younger set held the
stage in the afternoon and those
who " ere possibly a little older

just as young, were the per-

Miss Doll Hardy
Everyone showed excellent
training, considering the re.
spective length of time of in.
struction, but special mention
should be made of Mrs. Moore,
Mr.. Gaughan and Miss Berry.
Miss Berry presents a very
pleasing appearance and has q
sweet voice, but while it may
not have been noticeable, she
was laboring with a very bad
throat last evening and her in
innate friends say she didn't do
herself justice on that ccount.
Mr.. Gaughan has L en- en-
dowed by Dame Natur- with a
voice much above the average
and Mrs. Spafard is developing
and training it wonderfully.
We predict a musical career of
some mark for Mr.. Gaughan.
Mrs. Moore in Carmina fairly
outdid herself and surprised
her many friends who heard
her rendition of this difficult
music by Wilson. AS an encore
Mrs. Moore, who has a re-
markably high, clear, pure, So
prano voice, gave that very
beautiful "Last Night" by
Halsdan Kjerulf, which was
rendered as a trio in a Treble
Clef concert a few years ago
and pleased all so much. Mrs.
Moore sang it with much ex-
preston that called forth many
Communications from the audi
ence.
Mrs. spafard, by request,
then charmed her friends with
a song in her inimitable, mag
netic manner and thanked the
friends for their presence, but
they in turn felt grateful for
the hospitality extended and a
very pleasant evening.

are the pes .nt members Of the
senior class. With the excep-
tion of two or three all have
their work in shape for grad

Because of the size of the
class it has been found neces.
sary to give up the idea of a
class play in which all take
part. 1t has therefore been de-
cided to give a Senior play pre-
liminary to the commencement
exercises proper. The play Sc.
lected is "The Kingdom of
Aearts's Content" and will be
given, as now planned, on Fri
day evening, May 26. Seven
teen Of the seniors will appear
in this play. Drill will begin
at once under the direction of
Mr.. Field. The other seven
seniors will on the evening Of
June /, Thursday evening, give
the commencement program
proper. This willIconsist Of ad-
dresses by the class president,
and Grafton by the class orator,
several recitations and other
orations, and the valedictory
address by the honor student of
the class. At the close of this
program the class will be FORM
ally presented to the board and
will receive their diplomas
from the President of the
Board.
On Sunday evening, May
28th, at the Presbyterian
church, Rev. Cross will deliver
the baccalaureate address to
the class. The plan is to make
this a union service.
Class honors have been
awarded to Miss Mildred Ray
mond, whose work during the
four years of her high school
course has excelled that of the
other members of the class.
This is an honor that only one
of a class can receive. How
ever, this year is an exception
as two of those entering the
high school in the fall Of 1907
are this year honor students.
Miss Jewell Perrin, who was
with the class of 1911 for the
first two years of the course in
the Missouri Valley high school,
and who has taken her last two
years in the high school at Ere
mont, Nebr., has the honor of
being the honor student of the
class at that place and will also
deliver the valedictory address
for her class at Fremont.
The Class of 1911 has adopt
ed as the commencement dress
the cap and gown. A large
majority of the class were very
enthusiastic over the matter.
Others, while not desiring to
wear them, very gladly con-
sented to follow the majority
and wear the cap and gown on
thu occ lsion Of receiving their
diplomas. The Class Of 1911
want credit for introducing

the Missouri Valley high school.
This is without doubt an excel
