Who Is to Blame?

A young high school boy or girl
appears upon the commencement
program with an essay or Grafton
packed full of philosophic and learn
ed observations, conclusions and
admonitions quite beyond the high
school comprehension, Who is to
blame? Does the graduate pine for
such profound subjects? Does
the teacher recommend it or do the
p arents insist upon it? Surely some
one is responsible. Some one must
certainly approve of it. Perhaps
the practice is disappearing as rap
idly as we should expect. The best
way to hasten its departure, the
best argument to use against such
phonographic performance is to try
the simple natural plan. Help the
student select a simple topic in
which he is interested and upon
which he has some feeling and
some ideas. Urge him to talk the
matter to you freely and in his own
words and figures. Challenge him
this point and that to see if he real
ly has thought his way through and
connected up his ideas. Finally get
him to write it down and commit it
to memory and then let him give
it on commencement programs. 1t
can hardly fail to please the audi
ence and its effect upon the gradu-
ate, which is after the most import
ant, will be to increase his own
sense of power and self respect. -

j. f. Kennedy was here from
Ilasco Monday. Mr.. Kennedy is
foreman of the railway on the

good one. For twenty years he
was Katy foreman here and about
six years ago he resigned and went
to Hannibal to take a position with
the Short Line at Hannibal. After
working for year and half there
the cement company wanted good
man and selected Mr.. Kennedy,
consequently got the good man that
they we're looking for. They keep
him busy and he gives his people
good service.

1t is pleasant to 60 into the coun-
try at this season of the year.
There are cattle on a thousand
hills. There are many herds Of
swine by the roadside into which
the evil spirit has not yet entered.
There is a cordial greeting when
you meet the farmer, the merchant
or mechanic. There is a welcome
| if you enter the farm house and
there is always hospitality. which
is delight to share. Truly. God
made the country and man made
the town. When you 90 into the
country you view Gods handiwork
you behold his bounty. You SET
the beauty with which he has
adorned mans habitation. You
have more reverence for him be
cause of his manifold goodness t
the children of men. If you wan
to forget care and let your Thoughts
Igambol; if you want to learn a nev
lesson of the Fatherland of God;
you would commune with natur
and learn her message. lget yoursel

Lewis Lundberg brought sam
pie of his oats to this office Monday.
1t is of the Swedish variety and the
straw is five feet long with large
we'll filled heads. This seems to be
a very superior variety of oats for
this country, but as Mr.. Lundberg
has not threshed his crop he could
not give us the yield per acre.
Judging, however, from the sample
it will be unusual. Mr.. Lundberg
is one our best farmers and is gen.
orally in the lead when it comes to
fine crops.
