VOLUME XXVI
BEST EVER
Were the Commencement
Exercises Held Last
Week.

he CioSiuR eAeTClseS OF tne Grammar
grades, held at Clyffeside park casino,
Wednesday evening, May "a, was the
climax Of the several operettas which
have been rendered the past few years
work, delightful solos. elaborate cos
tuning and graceful movements there
was little left to be desired by the vast
audience of fourteen hundred people
while by many who have had to do with
operettas it was pronounced the best ev-
er seen rendered by young people.
Before the beginning of the play GER
tificates Of promotion to the High school
were delivered to the forty. three Eighth
grade graduates by Mr.. Winters, super
intendent of schools of the district. This
large class, whose names were published
In last weeks issue, is indeed a great
tribute to the parents of this district
who have shown such an interest in
their education, as we'll as to the teach
ers who both this past year and all the
years before have kept them interested
and at work
The operetta was named 1.-The Prin-
cess Chrysanthemum.' The central
figures are the Emperor of Japan, the
illustrious What-for -whi, the Princess,
who Is just coming of age her two suit
ers, Princes So-true and So,sli, Fairy
Moonbeam, who aids the good, and the
Wizard Cat, who helps evil.
A large chorus attends the Emperor
and Princess. This was composed of
the girls of the Eighth grades, and a
number chosen from the Seventh and
Sixth grades. Both their singing, which
included nearly dozen numbers, and
their movements, which were varied and
graceful, showed good training and
much natural ability while their Japa-
nese costume made a scene of great i'm
pressiveness The songs were accom-
panied by Mrs. Duncan on the piano
and a Huntington orchestra of five
pieces
Wykle Gwinn was well chosen as
Princess. She possesses voice Of the
rarest sweetness and high register, and
captivated all by her two solos and duet
with So-tru, while her speaking parts
were also rendered in a remarkably eff
fective manner, and in voice audible
throughout the great pavilion. Her
N atural grace and her dignified and mod
est demeanor were especially fitting to
her role as Princess.
The part of Fairy Moonbeam was tax
en- by Josephine Smith, another Of the
Eighth grade girls. Her work was also
of high order. Her high notes were clear
and strong and her acting good
Frank Adkins, High school student,
was Emperor, and looked and acted the
part to perfection. His great, rich voice
made his two solos very impressive, and
the last one, "Whether You Like it or
Not" doubly amusing.
Homer Marcum and Ed Adkins, re-
cent High school graduates, were draft
ed to take the parts of the Princes, and
sustained their already excellent repu-
tations as singers and actors. Mr.. Mar
cum was especially funny in THE Lit
tie japanese Sailor Man" Mr.. Adkins
solo was one of the prcttiest things in
the whole entertainment.
The part of the Court Chamberlain.
while apparently but minor part, made
one of the biggest hits, as handled by
Curtis Wright of the first year High
school. His acting brought down the

Swat the Flies.

Don't permit them to near your
food-especialiy milk.
Don't buy foods uffs where Il les
are tolerated.
Don't eat where flies have ac-
GEES to the food.
Flies are the most dangerous
insects known to man.
Flies are known to be carriers OF
millions of death-dealing disease
germs. They leave some of these
germs wherever they alIght.
Flies may infect food you eat.
They come to your kitchen or to
your 'dluiug table fresh from
the garbage box or from the COL.
tagious sick room.
Flies may infect you with
tuberculosis, typhoid fever, scar.
let fever, diphtheria, and other in .
fectious disease.
Screen your windows and doors
Do 1T early before fly time and
keep screens up until snow falls.
Screen all food, especially milk.
Do not eat food that has been in
contact with flies.
Screen the baby's bed and keep
flies away from the baby's bottle,
the baby's food and the baby's
comforter"
Keep away flies from the sick,
especially those i'll with typhoid
fever, ecarlet fever, diphther:a
and tuberculosis. Screen the pa
tents bed. Kill every fly that
enters the sick room. Immediate
ly disinfect and dispose of all
discharges.
Catch the flies as fast as they
appear. Use liquid poisonp,
sticky fly papers and traps.
Place this fly poison in saucers
throughout the house: Two tea
spoonfuls of formaldehyde in a
pint of water, sweetened with
sugar.
To quickly clear rooms of flies,
burn pyrethum powder. Sprinkle
the powder on live Goals carried
on metal shovel. The fumes
cause the flies to fall in stun
ned condition. They must then
be swept up and destroyed. Best
results are obtained by darkening
the room, allowing only ray of
light to enter at edge of window
shade. Fliee, in attempting to
escape the fumes, will seek rays
of light at windows. This sim
plifies their collection.
Flies breed in filth.
Allow no filth or decaying mat.
ter of any kind to accumulate
on or near your premises.
Sprinkle kerosene over your
garbage. Keep garbage recepta-
cles tightly covered; clean the
cans every day, the boxes at least
once a week. Keep the ground
around garbage boxes clean.
Burn all refuse-such as old
bedding, paper, straw, etc.
Pour kerosene into the drains,
Keep sewage system in good or.
der; repair all leaks Immediately
Clean cuspidors every day.
Keep 5 per cent solution of car
bolic acid IN them all the time
Get rid Of saw dust boxes used az
cuspidors--they're unsanitary.
Permit no dirt TO accumulate
in corners, behind doors, back oil
radiators, under stoves, etc.
