What the Hens Are Doing

The local house Of Henderson &
Sons Produce Co. is about the
busiest place in town. They are
shipping out two cars of eggs a
week now and it keeps Manager
Johnston, and five other men busy.
The eggs have to be sorted and
graded, and 800 cases of eggs are
some eggs. At 80 dozen to the
case this amounts to $4,000 dozen,
or 288, 900 eggs, each of which has
to be inspected and placed with
others of the same grade. And
this is only part of their work.
This firm pays out many thousands
of dollars year for poultry and
produce, and the farmers are the
principal benefciaries.

The LOmax & Standby Bank

After seventeen successful years
as private bank, the firm of Lo-
max & Standby, Bankers, becomes
state bank with a capital stock of
$15, 100000, and will be known as
the Lomax & Standby Bank. The
change becomes effective today,
May 3. The following is the new
board of directors: DR.. z. Ts
Standby, II. G. Lomax, E. B.
Standby, Fl. w. Lomax, Walter
Browniee, president of the Brown
lee Banking Co. of Brookfeld and
E. M. Lomax, president of the
Linn County Bank of Brookfeld.
No change has been made in the
officers. The members of the old
firm decided to make the change,
believing that a directorate of six
members would add strength and
wisdom to the bank and enable
them to look after the interests of
their customers even better than in
the past.

COMMENCEMENT WEEK EVENTS
Four Young Ladies Graduated Fine
Play, Lecture and Banquet

given at the opera house Thursday
night by the graduating class OF
Laclede high school, assisted by
Misses Eva Andrews, Florence
Dye and May Weaver of the
sophomore class, was greeted by a
good sized audience, despite the
stormy night. And the play was
as good q three act farce as has
been seen here in a long time.
There were no male characters In
the play, and the young ladies who
had the various parts deserve much
credit for their excellent work, as
do also those who trained them.
They had only a limited time in
which to prepare for it and all in
the large audience were we'll pleased
with the entertainment. Ben
iamin's Orchestra furnished de-
lightful music between the acts.
The commencement exercises
were held at the opera house Fri
day evening, before a very large
audience. After the invocation by
Rev. T. j. Enyeart and a splendid
chorus by the school, DR.. FL. r.
DeBra, president of Missouri Wes-
leyan college at Cameron, delivered
the annual address to the class.
His lecture was exceptionally in
teresting and, besides being in
structive and helpful to all, should
arouse the ambition of all the
young people who heard 1T to make
the most possible of themselves.
The "Gipsy Chorus" by Misses
Eva Andrews, Bertha Libby and
Marie Goodwine, in costume, was
worthy Of especial notice.
DIR. F. w. Burke, president of
the board of education, presented
diplomas to the four young ladies
of the class of IL, Misses Nina
Walker, Loretta Clay, Christina
johnson and Kathryn Brown.
Miss Walker received first hOnors
and second place was awarded to
Miss Clay. Miss Walker also has
to her credit a perfect record OF
attendance for the year.
The alumni banquet Saturday
night was not so well attended as
usual, but those who were there
enjoyed it more, perhaps, than
previous occasions Of this kind.
The menu was prepared by the NJ.
E. Ladies' Aid society, to whom
much of the credit for the success
of the banquet is due. The music
furnished by Benjamin's Orchestra
was fine and was highly appreci-
ated. Paul s. Lomax presided as
toastmaster and toasts were en-
tertainingly responded to by a
number of the alumni and Super
intendent Watkins sang a solo and
was encored repeatedly.
There has never been a COM
mencement week program in La
clede that was more highly enjoyed
than the one this year. Good
audiences were present every night
and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
The people are deeply interested in
the success Of our schools and are
eRratihed to know that the children
have done so we'll. Next, year,
with. teachers and pupils better
acquainted with each other, it Isl
expected that even better work
can be done, thus keeping up the
reputation Of our schools for
thorough, efficient and earnest
work.

Victoria's reign. In December, 1910,
he gained access to Buckingham pal

several days. He was detected by the
princess royals nurse and handed
over to the police.
The privy council examined him,
but did not think there was any cause
for alarm, and he was sentenced to
three months imprisonment as a
rogue and vagabond. But no sooner
was he at liberty than he made two
other attempts to enter the palace. On
the last occasion the magistrate gave
him the chance Of enlisting in the

Jackson, Miss, July 20-Judge w.
A. Henry will pronounce sentence

banker, convicted yesterday afternoon
in the Kinds County Circuit Court of
perjury in connection with the failure
of the Central Bank of Mississippi.
The verdict of guilty, accompanied

ated considerable surprise in view of
the fact that the jury had been en-.
gagged in deliberation for nearly eigh.
teen hours, and it was generally be-
heved that mistrial would result.
Judge Henry is known to have some
very positive conclusions concerning
the Rice case, and bank wreckers in
general. 1t is not believed, therefore
that the recommendation of leniency

at least, it is safe to predict that
Rice will not receive the minimum
penalty
Other indictments are pendine
against the prisoner, but they will not
be called for trial at this term. 1t is
understood that his attorneys will
take an appeal to the Supreme Court
and try to convince that tribunal that
the Central Bank was solvent at the
time of its failure, despite the fact
that there was only SOL in cash on
hand to balance against half million
dollar authorized capital and deposits
