Girls Of keokuk High School viii
/ Not Wear Dainty White Dresses
] at Next Springs Com
mencement.
THE PLAN IS APPROVED
Christmas Vacation Begins Next Fri
day and Students Will Have Two
Weeks to Enjoy Them
selves.

If the plans Of several of the per.
sons interested the sweet girl grad
yates of K;eokuk high school will not
vie with each other in display or
expensive graduation gowns next
spring.
A movement is now on foot to
kclothe the girls of the class in caps
and gowns and lessen the bitter feel
ings, many times engendered by the
| fact that some of the more fortunate
girls in the classes are able to dress
in more expensive gowns than others.
1t is proposed that all the girls
wear the caps and gowns, affected by
college girls and which has been
tried with much success by many
high schools throughout the country.
Gray is spoken of as the color to be
! worn by the girls when they make
their appearance at commencement.
The movement is gathering
strength among the parents of the
graduates, according to a prominent
high school instructor today Many
] OF them have not the means TO clotne
their daughters in the finery that
heretofore has been necessary to the
young ladies' piece of mind during
the exercises and practically all the
girls of the class have agreed to the
caps and gowns.
Superintendent Aldrich stated Sat
urday that the Christmas vacation
of the local schools would begin next
Friday and continue until January
9th. Two weeks are allowed for the
holidays and then come the examina
tons for promotions.
There will be no mid-term gradua
lions in the high school this year, but
nearly all the grades will send out
a few students to the higher classes

mer, whose case still hangs, sat close
to him. Tho methods used by the
Wisconsin Senator were outlined by
Senator Reed in a bitter arraignment
in which he took occasion to say If
the Senate failed to reach q verdict
of guilty it would write over the door
of the Senate, Those who have the
money can enter here"
MAINE HEROES HONORED
The 81 bodies of the sailors taken
from the wreck of the Maine, which
received its final interment in the
waters of the Gulf of Mexico last
week, arrived at Washington and were
buried with naval and military hon.
ors at the Arlington Cemetery, Mon
day, the President, both Houses of
Congress, war and naval heroes and
many foreign dignitaries witnessing
the ceremonies.
A WOOL BILL
1t is said at Washington that a
wool bill, not very different from
the one which Pres. Taft vetoed,
will be passed by Congress before
1t adjourns. 1t is claimed that Pres.
Taft will sign the bill inasmuch as
1t is practically in line with the re-
port of tho tariff commission. The
report goes on further to say that
the House majority leader, MIR. Under
wood, favors the adjustment OF
the tariff board. That, of course.
will not meet with the Presidents
approval.
THE HILLSVILLE OUTLAWS
The Allen gang who shot up the
Court House in Hillsville. Va, last
week, wiping out the entire Court
are still at large. The latest reports,
however, are to the effect that ar
rests may be expected in a few
days.
REFUSE DEMANDS
The representatives Of fifty rail-
roads refused the demands Of the
locomotive engineers for 10 per cent
increase on their yearly wages at New
York. Monday, giving as their rea-
son that they are simply unable to
bear the increased expense. The Of
ficers of the engineers have SO far
not made known their next move.

FOR SHEPHERD-KENYON BILL
Congressman Ben johnson Of the
4th district writes to the Elizabeth
town News to the effect that 1t and
the people of his district may save
themselves the trouble of petition
ing him as to the Shepherd-Kenyon
Bill, as he is for 1t, being a Jeffer-
sonian Democrat and in favor Of
state rights. That is good. Now we
would like to know how Harvey
Helm, our own Congressman, stands.
Will he not also announce his posi-
ton and save us the trouble of petit
tioning him?
GOOD WORK BY THE GOVERNOR
Governor McCreary has been very
busy the last ten days reviewing the
work of the Legislature. Our predic-
ton last week that he would veto the
Tuberculin Test Bill, which was In
reality SO drawn as to prevent the
tuberculin test, came true. and by
this act he has endeared himself TO
the forces in the state that are work.
ing for the general health. Another
bill that met his disapproval was
the Anti-tipping Bill, the Governor
claiming that a man has a right to
] all cd En- ms
him a service If he wishes to. As
to his veto of the bill which sought
to prevent double taxation. that is
the taxation Of bonds and savings
bank accounts, held by citizens OF
this state in other states we are not
so sure. OF course there is no OBJ
lection to such taxation II the hold
ings are not taxed in the state where
they are located.
On the whole, the work of the
Legislature was good and the Cover
nor now makes 1t better by the slight
culling which he has done. Now If
as suggested in many quarters, w
might have a special session of the
Legislature to take up the revision
of our tax system and fulfill the plat
form pledges in the one or two parti
culars where the Legislature weaken
ed, the Democratic party In Ken
lucky would have much to its ere

be not beneficial.
When | was at Yale, about thirty
years ago, the old dormitories were
not unlike yours today. We had no
steam heat or electric lights. We kept
hammers In our rooms to break the
ice in our pitchers in the morning
that we might wash, and many Of
ing.
Contrast this with the building of
the Ohio Union at the Ohio State
| University. In the center Of the
campus was erected a magnificent
structure containing rooms for the
trophies won In athletics, providing
amusements, such as billiard tables
and bowling alleys, having beautiful
reading rooms with all the current
magazines, furnished luxuriously

this, but I do not consider 1t essen

time than one may intend in looking
over the magazines, and more time
can be spent In q brilliant room

than is strictly necessary for recrea-
ton.
The great luxury which has crept
into our college life has not led to
conditions beneficial either to the
scholarship or the strengthening Of
character in our students.
Our entire national life has chang
ed, but II is your good fortune that
such changes have not affected Be-
rea injuriously.
1t was not many years ago that
the New York girl made the famous
answer to the foreign nobleman who
had come to this country to exchange
title for an American fortune.
He was complaining that there wer
no gentlemen in the United States and
she said, What is gentleman

do Lot call them gentlemen, we cal

Tais last month we have celebrat
cd tie birthdays OF our two Ameri

GIRLS COLOR RETURNS.

Was Pale and sickIy Last Spring.
Every boil is worth FIVE dollars,
is an old saying among people who
think that the impurities of the blood
escape when a boil breaks
But that is great mistake. A
boil is only a sign of impure blood
and has no purifying power, The con-
thing to do is to enrich and yivify
the blood and the best thing for this
is Vinoi, our delicious cod liver and
iron preparation without oil.
Other signs Of bad blood are pale
skin, weakness, nervousness and run
down condition OF the system.
Miss Alice Jones,a bright young girl
Of Richmond Hill, NY, was pale and
weak for months. She began taking
Vinol and 1t not only made her well
and strong but also brought back hel
healthy color. She also says Il like
to take Vinol as the taste is pleasant
This is the very best time of year
to put your blood in good order and
build up your system, and we guar
antee that Vinol will do this. II II
does rot, we give back your money.
