with the result above mentioned. The
reason for the remarkable difference
shown is to be found in the varying
angles of reflection presented by the
roughened surface OF our satellite TO
the sun. The moon Is brighter be-
tween first quarter and full than be-
tween full and last quarter. The
cause Of this is evident In the more
highly reflective character of that

The First Graduate

The commencement exercises of
the city schools took place at the
opera house last Friday evening.
Helen Forbes, Mary Sans, Dolores
Brummund, Victor Wallin Chester,
Ferguson and Victor Thorstenson
were given eighth grade diplomas
and Miss Emma Brummund a high
school diploma. She is the first
pupil to complete the four year
course in the Washburn school.
The program given was very
entertaining. Miss Rudd sang,
Violets, accompanied by Miss
Emma Brummund. Helen Forbes
was the salutatorian and the ad-
dress given showed her training as
a reader. Victor Wallin, the his
torian and prophet, visited his
schoolmates IN 1921 and saw many
changes while sailing around in
his air ship. Miss Brummund
read a good essay on Education and
Public Responsibility. This was
followed by an address by Prof.
William Moore which overfowed
with good counsel and common
sense. His theme was The Funct-
ion of the High School in the
Community. Mr.. Moore has been
in school work a number of years
and knows the value of higher
education. The musical numbers
on the program were we'll given.
The song by Misses Rudd and
Brummund and Messrs Dahl and
Burgum was very pleasing. Miss
Emma Brummund is an except.
ionally accomplished young lady,
besides playing the accom-
paniments to all the songs on the
program, she played a Lullaby

Returned Home

The third officer of the National
Guards, who was sent to Texas to
take part in the regular army
manouvers along the border, has
returned home to this state. He
is of the opinion that it will be
some time before Mexico again
settles in its normal condition, a.
the people all over the country
have been aroused by the war. He
says trade is at a standstill in
Mexico at present, values are
