SENIOR CLASS PLAY
SYNOPSIS of "A Midsummer Nights
Dream"

A Midsummer Nights Dream is a
strange and beautiful web woven of
three threads. the silken splendor OF
royalty, run through with the rough
yarn of hempen home spun and all
bound together with the floating fila
ments of the fairies.
Shakespeare says there was law in
Athens that if daughter refused to
marry the husband selected for her by
he. father, she might be put to death.
Egeus, an Athenian, promises to give
his daughter Hernia in marriage to
Demetrius, but as the lady loves Ly-
sander, she refuses to marry the man
selected by her father and fees from
Athens with her lover.
Before leaving Athens, Hernia and
Lysander confide their plans to Helena
who betrays them to Demetrius with
whom she is in love. Demetrius starts
in pursuit, followed by Helena, and
they all meet in a wood near Athens.
Here the fairy element Is introduced
and quarrel takes place between the
fairy king and queen. Oberon, the
king of the fairies, hoping to revenge
himself upon his queen calls Puck and
bids him 60 seek the flower the juice of
of which sprinkled upon the eyes Of
one who sleeps will change the waking
vision so that he will love the first
thing which his eye rests upon.
The Kings plans work out most
satisfactorily the first object the queen
sees when waking being the clown in
company of mechanics. who have been
in the wood rehearsing play.
The King is delighted, as he finally
secures the little changeling boy over
whom they have been quarreling.
The spirit of mischief prevails
upon Puck to throw the love juice up
on the mortals eyes also, and when
they wake it so falls out that both
Lysander and Demetrius should first
see Helena. Here again complications
arise but the fairies seeing the trouble
they have caused, come to the rescue
and all is made we'll.
Heseus and Egeus come out into the
wood upon Theseus' wedding day, the
day set for Hernia to give her answer,
and find the lovers. Demetrius being
now content to marry Helena, Theseus
gives his consent to the wedding of
Lysander and Hernia and the mortals
leave the wood to their true pos
sessos, the fairies.

No Delay in Iowa Road Dragging.

>e~0Ne-o'
Road dragging work commences in
Iowa Immediately. Those who were
counting on having one year of nothing
doing because they thought they had
discovered conflict in the law will be
disappointed.
Attorney General Cosson, in a care
fully prepared decision completed Oyes-
terday, decided that there is to be no
cessation in the road dragging work for
Iowa. This in answer to a series of
inquiries put to him by county officials
over the state. He dec ides that:
The mill township road dragging
tax must be levied this year and be
available for use in 1912.
The township trustees ought to dis
trict the townships at once in regard
to road dragging.
Road dragging superintendent should
be appointed now and be got to work
Immediately.
Meetings should be called.
The pay for road dragging this year
should come out of the regular road
funds the same as in the past few
years.
A township trustee cannot hold the
office of supervisor of road dragging,
but one may be road supervisor and
superintendent of dragging at the
same time.
The township clerks ought to call
meetings of the townships trustees at
once to have 1-mill tax levy for next
year.
The legislature plainly intended that
there should be no hiatus in the road
dragging business and the fact that it
was provided in the law that the trus.
tees should at their April meeting levy
the special road dragging tax, and the
law did not 60 into effect until five
days after that time, will not affect
the law. The bill made provisions for a
special meeting to levy the tax and this
can be done now. As for paying fol-
the road Digging this year it can be
done just as in the past and before any
special 1-mill levy was thought of, fol
road dragging is general road and re-
pair work and can be paid for out OF
the regular funds for road working.
In short it was the intent of the legis'
lature to have this work go right'along
and fair Interpretation of the new
road dragging law will make this plain.
