SALuTATORY
 EIGHTH GRADE
(BY MISS BESSIE EVERED)

Patrons and friends: In be- half of my class, l welcome you here this evening to witness our graduating exercises.
 We are happy! How could graduates be otherwise? We are glad that such an enthusiastic audience of friends have gather ed together to hear our program of love ard praise. We are pleased to complete our school course thus far-but We must progress for tonight is our Com- mencement. Commencement does not mean to stop but begin.
 School life is a great circle, and we are told that only those who have passed beyond it's limits are able to view the brighter and darker sides and judge of it's joys and sorrows. Because say we are happy tonight, l do not want 1t understood that our class has seen only the sunny side of school life, but l positively state that we have experienced the hard work of the school, boy or girl. their hopes, aspirations and failures. Although school days are our happiest days, so every pupil is told over and over again, school life is not free from cares.
 To the child. who first enters its circle, it presents difficulties in the shape of peculiar letters the A. B. C'S and numbers that must be combined just so, then the tables that rise up as grim mon- sters must be learned and pro- blems solved.
 Yes, there are many trials in school life, but the trials would be fewer and lessons easier if they would not be regarded as huge mountains and magnified ten or twelve times their original size. Yet, as we all pass from the boundary we notice how the radius has heightened with each step forward, until it has reached a length that can be measured for each one only by the deeds that he has done
 A new world is opened, the power of reasoning and the ability to overcome obstacles is acquired. We TOW live in world of pratical knowledge and endless beauty, and we find pleasure in living.
 Ire long looked for night has come at last. The goal is reach ed and we are passing out of the Grammar school into the High | school life with all it's possibilities, hopes and pleasures lie in the distance. It seems a pleasing prospect and we are delighted.
 Again our class extend their most hearty and sincere welcome. Welcome to you all and invite your attention to our program. Welcome, parents and friends. thrice welcome is the greeting from the class of ''l91I'

Warden. Wolfer Urges Badger
State Society Of Equity to
Buy saltwater Twine.
MINNESOTA ANXIOUS TO.
EXTEND PRISON OUTPUT
Serious Question Involved, When
Prison Made Goods Are Sold
Outside Of State.

SALTWATER, Oct. 26.-Minnesota
Is making more binding twine at its
prison in Saltwater than the farmers
of this state can use. Through its
prison warden negotiations have been
opened for the sale of it's surplus
prisonmade binder twine to the far
mers of Wisconsin. It was to permit
this to be done it is understood, that
Minnesota increased the output of her
plant and changed her laws. Here
tofore the plant was not allowed to
sell outside of Minnesota until very
late in the season. All such barriers
are now down.
Henry Wolfer, warden of the state
prison, wrote to the state headquart-
ers of the American Society of Equity
in Madison, Wis, saying the prison
is in a position to sell twine to the
members of the association, and the
farmers Of Wisconsin generally, under
just as favorable conditions as are
given the farmers of Minnesota. He
said:
1--WE now have twine plant con-
tanning 500 spindles, and our annual
manufacturing capacity is now about
100000 pounds. This will enable
us to supply the twine trade outside
Of our own state with a. substantial
fer to ship our surplus twine to the
state of Wisconsin for two reasons:
First, because yous are right at our
door, and We can supply you to ad-
vantage at a minimum cost; and Sec
ond, because the development of your
state and the character of its farmers
are such that we can do business
more safely than in other sections.
misunderstanding as we are in a.
large way, we are enabled to make
binder twine more economically than
it can be made under equally good
conditions but in a smaller way. We
shall continue to sell our tWine as low
as we can leaving us only a reason
able margin of profit. Under these
conditions, I feel certain that we
shall be able to supply you with
what twine you will require for years
to come on lower and closer basis
both as to price and quality, than
you can buy it elsewhere or manu-
facture it yourselves, and at the same
time we will be able to furnish you
with better grade of twine than you
can buy for the money elsewhere"
The twine plant at the Wisconsin
prison at Waupun has been built and
partially equipped with machinery,
but the state board of control has
shown no haste to put it in operation.
Under present conditions, some of the
officers of the Equity society seem
disposed to accept the Minnesota
offer.

MADISON, Wis. Oct. 26.-Ehkorts
are being made by the Industrial
commission of Wisconsin to cut down.
the appalling number of farm acci-
dents caused by corn shredding and
husktng machines. The commission
is charged by law with the duty of
enforcing the statute which requires
that all shredders and huskers shall
be guarded. Guards for these machines
are simple and inexpensive and the
commission is advising farmers as to
the proper method Of building them.
The hazard to life and limb, whihc
has become greater each year with
the increasing use of shredders is
becoming a serious problem. Don Z.
Lescohier of Minnesota, in a recent
issue Of The Survey. has this to say
on the subject: - -

Of 135 accidents-were reported from

the accidents occurred on corn shred

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 26.-
Every day the Mcnamara trial

show the line that will be followed
by the defense and the prosecution
when the trial of the case is taken
up after the jury is in the box.
None of the premptory challenges

The most sensational development
during the week was when Talesman
B. W. Clark admitted that he talked
about the trial the day before with
Harry Chandler, vice president and
assistant general manager of the
Times. Clark was excused, but his
admissions have developed for the de-
fense a frst-class witness when it
will attempt to show that the Times
building was destroyed by gas.
Clue of New Witness.
In the course Of his examination,
Clark gave the defense a clue to a
new witness, who, it is said, would
be summoned. His son. he said, had
told him the explosion unquestlon-
ably was one of gas.
Did he give you any reason for
saying it was gas explosion?" asked
Mr.. Davis.
