year are Maude Bridges, Fanny Cory
ellie and Evelyn Neill. This is the third
class to be graduated since the High
School has been accredited by the State
Board of Education.
On account of recent decision handed
down by the State Department, School
Boards are not authorized under the
law to expend the funds of the district
for hall rentals, speakers, orchestras,
programs and similar things for COM
mencement exercises. In consideration
of this fact the board of directors have
decided to meet these expenses incident
to commencement by charging the NOM
inal sum of 10 cents admission for
adults. Although this is a practice
commonly carried on in many communi-
ties, the board of directors of Newport
came to the above decision with some
little reluctance, it being finally con-
ceded that the difficulty could not be
overcome in any other manner.

THE VALUE OF SPICES
Experiments that have been
conducted recently with a view
to determining the preservative
value Of various spices and condi-
ments seem to establish the fact
that certain spices have a marked
preservative effect on foods. Z.
Cinnamon, for instance, is
found to be more powerful
enemy of ferments than benzoic
acid and at the same time quite
harmless. Other condiments that
are useful as preservatives are
cloves and mustard, with nutmeg
and all spice effective in some
what less degree.
On the other hand such drastic
condiments as ginger, black pep
per and cayenne pepper do not
hinder the growth of germs.
Thus it appears .thattcinnamon,
cloves, mustard, nutmeg and all
spice may be used with good adj
vantage in seasoning foods, since
they are not only palatable, but
also exert a good effect on the
food itself.
Ginger and pepper, on the
other hand, may well be avoided,
since they do not exert any good
effects on the food and are irritat-
ing to the stomach.

BAD FAITH IS

cision in February ,1911," said Mr.

Replying to Mr. Thorne's statement
Chief Examiner Brown said:
THE railroads have expended $780,
900 and three years time apparently
to unity their western rates, but Las.

pended 120 days"

BERRY TO MARRY .
FREE FEB. 70
JUSTICE OF PEACE PUTS FORTH
ANOTHER INDICTMENT TO s
YOUNG FOLKS

Pleased with the success Of his leap
year proposition to the marriage cable
ladies of Ottumwa, Justice of Peace
w. J. Berry has, hit upon another
unique plan whereby he may induce
the matrimonially inclined young
people to marry. He has agreed to
marry all couples free of charge who
come to him February 20 between the
hours of 8 a. m. and II p. m. Febru-
airy 20 comes but every four years, and
those who enter double harness on
that day will have a wedding ami
versary each leap year. Justice Berry
states that the bride does not have to
take advantage OF leap year and pro-
pose In order to ssecure free mar
riage on this day. All couples who de-
sire having a wedding anniversary
every four years need only come to
Justice Berry on February 20 with
their marriage licenses.
Early last month Justice Berry
agreed to marry all couples free dur
ing leap year where the girl proposed.
As a result he has tied the 4nuptial
knot of two couples without recon.
pense. In greater encouragement OF
the young folks he has made this
second offer and hopes to have sew
eral pairs Of Cupid's proteges on Feb
ruary 20.

demand he fled. The officers gave
chase and both opened fire. One bull
let entered the youths side and he

OACCET I Ellis
. OF N. ". A. RATES
DELEGATE TO CHICAGO coNvEN-
TON GIVES AN IDEA Or IN
cREAsEs IN DUES.

Attention, Modern Woodmen, and
members OF three camps OF city and
other camps in country and sixth
district:
"The Woodmen have voted to read
Just rates, in other words to become
an adequate insurance fraternal
society. Out of 1888 delegates, the
votes stood 400 for and 307 against
at the Chicago convention. l, as your
delegate, voted against; not because
with the evidence before me from the
leading actuaries and insurance com
missioners of the United States
presenting facts and most OF these
men were members of our society and
presented it purely from a non-pre
JUDGED standpoint as to the best future
interests of the society, but because
most Of my $500 constituents were
against it, could no in all fairness to
them vote for it.
Nov neighbors, there has beer
passed in fourteen states in the union
q fraternal bill known as the Mobile
bill, which practically compels fra.
ternal insurance companies to adopt
adequate rates and make q report to
their memberships OF the amount Of in
surance in force and the amount OF
money on hand to meet the required
insurance in force. We have been al
lowed the privilege of basing our
rates on our own mortality experience
which is 20 years. This accounts for
the reason why we are lstill 20 per
cent below the National Fraternal Con
gress rate Now, neighbors, please do
not take snap judgment on this ques
ton, as you have one year from now
before the rates change. This is
serious question, and the average man
does not stop to think before he passes
Judgment. Remember that we are
absolutely on an adequate plan while
some ninety societies have changed
rates since organization, which proves
that we must quit selling insurance
for nothing. Many millions have been
distributed among needy widows and
orphans and they have been helped
to become capable of occupying cleri'
cal positions and be able to pay for
homes and acquire a competency, yet
that does not eliminate the facts that
we have been getting fraternal insur-
ance too cheap. Don't make change
unless you better yourself, as I believe
all must 20 on adequate rates as the
mortality tables determine the cost,
and I am sure when you understand
the facts you will agree.
Supreme National Lecturer Whelen
will be with us at Woodland Camp hall
on Monday night February IL. Let all
Woodmen in this city and country
come and let us become acquainted
with the facts.
Respectfully submitted,
