The Ladies' World for June
has most attractive cover and
the contents are quite up to the
standard of this magazine. There
is rather more than the usual a.
mount of excellent fiction, the
most noticeable of the stories be-
ing The Choice, by Shirley Car
son; The Surrender, by Judith
Chrisney Cameron: and The Lis
teners, by Kate L. McLaUrin.
The serial, Love by Express,
adds to the impression noted last
month when the story began,
that it is one of the best things
we have read in a long time, full
of brightness and go generally.
In special articles there is one on
The Parent Love in Birds, very
fully and handsomely illustrated,
and Loves Selfshness, which
points how even with the best
intentions a member of a family
may cause unhappiness to others.
There is an admirable article es-
pecially for girls on Study Clas-
ses, beside the special depart.
ments, which seem to cover ev-
erythirg that interests woman.
Something very timely for this
season is Pests in the Kitchen
and Elsewhere. Altogether this
months number is one you will
be glad to have. New York

On the evening following the
commencement the Franklin
Township Alumni Society held
it's annual reception in the high
school building. The new grad
yates were welcomed into the So
ciety, which numbers thirtyfour,
one having crossed the River of
Time. Many of these participat-
ed in the program, which con-
sisted of addresses toasts, songs
and instrumental music. Walter
Swinger, president of the socie.
ty, gave the address of welcome
to the new members, which was
responded to by Raymond D. Gil
bert, president of the 1911 class.
After the literary part of the
program, refreshments were SER
we'd and a general good time en-
joyed. Many Incidents of by
gone school days were vividly
brought to memory.
Following is the History of the
Class of 1911 by Raymond D.

Hold the Soil Moisture.

If every farmer were compell-
ed to haul and pour over each ac-
re of his farm over 200 barrels of
water per day, he would gain
some conception of the amount
of moisture evaporated from an
exposed, uncultivated soil, at
this season Of the year. This e.
vaporation varies according to
the kind and condition of the soil,
weather, location, &C., but un-
der average conditions the sun
and wind are rapidly drawing
from the soil that moisture which
will be needed later in the season
for crop growth. It is just like
drawing dollars from the farm
ers' pockets.
Now is the time to prevent this
loss, Soil moisture is valuable.
Past records show that an inch
of rainfall in July means $5, ,OOO,- :
600 worth of corn to the state of
Ohio. While farmers cannot
make an inch of rain fall in July,
they can carry an inch of soil
moisture over from May until
July, and that means the same
thing.
An inch of rainfall means 113
tons of water per acre. If this
is allowed to escape at the rate
of 200 barrels per day, it will re.
quire only four days to lose the
entire inch. Every farmer who
fails to prevent this evaporation
is losing his share of that SIS,
600, 900. Are you one of th'
losers?
How can this evaporation b.
prevented? By cultivating tn
soil. Keep the surface of th'
soil in a fine, loose condition
Follow the plow with the har
row. Harrow the cornfield be
fore the corn is up; after it is up
cultivate often enough to keep
good soil mulch. Don't be stir
gy with the use Of the cultivator
The amount Of moisture in tn
soil this spring is below norma
Moisture is essential to maximum
crop production.
Conserve your soil moisture
Do it now.

break ones jaw.

In the spring of the year,
Is when Botany grows dear;
We would roam thro' the woods,
the flowers to get or the birds
to hear.
Then on to the pond, here crawl
on a log,
Sit for an hour to catch one meas
ly frog.
Now across the field as we go
trudging along,
Singing as went some old school
song,
Till some one yelled out, "Oh,
N.Y. Iandsake!"
And looking around Emmit had
caught very large snake.
On we tottered, back to school,
Always to be on time was the
unquestioned rule.
Then tear up our flowers for an
alyzation,
To find it's specie and plant rela-
tion.
Literature, this was difficult, too.
Those periods and authors were
hard to construe,
This was when Miss BRIDGES pa
tience was tried,
And into some trouble she would
collide.
One day we were almost tired out; |
Her anger grew quickly, one boy |
was struck on the mouth;
But this was soon passed by and |
forgot,
Just what happened to all trou-
bles that came in lots.
Here mention General History,
lest we forget,
Should it come again our brains
would upset.
My time is limited, | must be
gone
To get the Senior year and bring
it on.
First, let's talk about Physics,
for this was splendid,
Not half so difficult as others
nave pretended.
Mr.. Wilt in this was the best of
instructors,
Each day to tell us of what some
man had invented.
Geometry! Oh, this was hard as
sin;
For a few twas easy, others it
would hardly soak in.
Miss McCurdy tried, nothing else
can be said,
The only thing, it was too big
for our heads.
However, we finally got through, |
thinking now we could rest,
But behold! something else was
to do,
From this night we will be thrown
To the future, to reap what we
have sown.
With Katie, the only girl this
class can bring,
Let her be a heroine of some
great deed that the world may
sing.
And give Emmit his great desire
To be some great officer in the
navy, with all chances to rise
higher.
Not only Emmit for this do in
tend,
But give you all your desired end.
Juniors and Freshmen, sorry to
say, but you'll be missed,
You finish your school work we
most earnestly insist.
After tonight we will vacate,
And give future honors over to
you;
But after this night has parted

HISTORY OF CLASS.

HISTORY OF CLASS.
Well do we remember
In the month of clear September,
And the year Of nineteen eight
A group of Freshmen were here
to try their fate.
But, as the months passed by,
Our class seemed to die;
From eighteen members it drift
ed back to nine.
Twas thus our class was sifted,
in three years of time.
Difficult was the work
For our task we could not shirk,
We moved in harmony, just like
a machine.
While the instructors brought on
more fuel toproducemore steam
Nine souls manipulated this work
so noble and grand,
Yes, nine did it from beginning
to end.
Let's start this nine out on life's
highway,
Decked with enthusiasm and
school array.
Yes, start it out as an automobile,
With the instructors as chautfeurs
to take their turn at the wheel.
In starting, call this school house
central garage,
For this is the place where the
gang had to lodge.
Now we'll pull out with the Fresh
man year
And go travelling on with very
high gear.
Then we had McCool and Crowell
to do the guiding;
Of course, this was push on and
no riding.
For our first road was long, mud.

To carry five studies twas more

With Latin, Physical Geography
and English,
We were right in the swim,

But we struggled through, deter

Is There A Remedy?
BY LEO.

By LEU.
The people of Ohio are very
much disgusted with their state
legislature, and are asking fol
some remedy. But no remedy is
in sight. 1t is now tolerably
clear that giving the Democratic
party another chance has not
proven itself a blessing to the
state. Governor Harmon had
said, "Give me a Democratic
General Ass emily and some
thing will be DONE" He got his
wish, but no improvement fol-
lowed. Rather, matters got in
to a worse plight. The Demo
cratic legislature showed itself
too anxious to make money. And
some of them had to be turned
over to the grand jury of Frank
lin county. It is shame.
Is there no remedy? A few
men may be convicted and pun
ished, but that would prove no
remedy.
And it seems somewhat doubt
full whether any member of the
legislature will be convicted.
There are many technicalities in
resort, and depend upon it the
sharp lawyers on the defense
will leave no stone unturned.
The law forbids and Furnishes
bribe. taking or bribe-soliciting,
but consenting to take a little
money for getting bill out OF
committee may not come under
either head.
The people of Ohio at large are
tolerably we'll convinced that sew
eral members of the legislature
agreed to sell their influence and
vote for a little filthy lucre, but
courts of justice may think the
proof defective.
The people are getting more
and more disgusted with the
state legislature; but after elect
ing them for two years, the peo-
pie lose control. The legislators
become a law unto themselves,
and play tricks to suit their no.
ton. AndI there is no remedy
outside of the legislature. If we
could persuade our solons to do
the reforming of themselves we
might indulge in hope of better
things. Will they do this? They
viii not; rather, they will ap-
point a committee to probe and
whitewash.
1t is always a relief to the state
when the legislature adjourns.
They are permitted to convene
but once in two years, although
paid for two years. Paying them
for doing nothing is the more
economical part. It would be a
partial remedy if they did not
meet at all and were paid in full
for the two years. But this can
not be.
1t would seem that a legisla-
tive body ought to purge itself.
1t is not the proper thing to shell
ter man who disgraces the leg
islature. Why not pass a law to
expel drunkards and bribe-tak-
ers, and offenders against purity

there have been several very in
teresting occasions in connection
with the closing of the sixth veal
of the Franklin township high
school, with school examiner
Charles Wilt as superintendent
and Miss Mabel Met Curdy as prin.
cipal. The first of these occa,
sions was the Baccalaureate SER
mon on Sunday evening, May 7,
delivered in the Union Chapel at
Beech Grove by Rev. H. F. Beck
to a large and appreciative aud
ience. The discourse was well
delivered and was very practical
and instructive. Following this
address Rev. Wesley Choate of
Kokomo, Ind, who had come to
Ohio to attend his brothers. fun
eral and who was a former pas
tor and teacher at this place,
gave some very appropriate re-
marks.
The second and principal event
of the week was the commence
ment exercises. These were held
in the auditorium of the high
school building, Tuesday even
ing, May 9. The building was
packed full with anxious listeners
and friends of education. There
were nine graduates, eight young
men and one young lady, all of
whom contributed nobly to the
following program: Misfits. Guy
w. Warner; Enthusiasm, Forest
M. Royer; The Old and the New,
John L. Buholtz; First Grade A.
mericans, Walter C. Harter; Op-
portunities, Katy B. Wick; Un-
Gle Sans Banner, David Emmit
Wick; Doing Things to a Finish,
Otto B. Flory; Class History-a
poem-Raymond D. Gilbert; Val
edictory-The Worlds Jewels,
Galen B. Royer.
The class address was given by
Prof. C. L. Martzoff, of Ohio Un-
iversity, Athens, 0. This prov
ed to be an intellectual feast for
the people Of Franklin township.
In a most convincing manner he
presented the advantages of a
good education in this age of pro-
gression and competition, re-
gardless of what vocation one
might choose. He especially en-
phasized the logic of educating
our boys and girls and keeping
them on the farm. Mr.. H. H.
Bireley, president of the board
of education, after giving the
class and the audience some well
chosen words, presented the di-
plomas. The Mann Orchestra OF
GreenviIle rendered some very
good music for the occasion.
AS an evidence of the appre.
citation of their service Superin-
tendent Charles Wilt was re-em
ployed for two years, with an in
creased salary for each year, and

the position as principal another

Perhaps the most familiar fac
in the audience was that of Prof

able manner, superintended ou
