PENN COLLEGE.
Programs and Festivities of Commencement.
eaocalaureate Address.

sunday afternoon at O'CLOCK, III
the Penn auditorium, Rev. Eli Perisbc
pastor of the Friends church, Indian
ola, Iowa, delivered the baccalaureate
sermon to the college and academy
seniors of 1912. Perhaps no better Sc
lection could have been made than the
securing of Rev. .Perisho for this ad
dress. Rev. Perisho is graduate OF
Penn college, and many things dear
Ito him happened around the spot
where he gave his address yesterday
Afternoon Rev. Perisho has the dis.
;tinction of being the first man to de-
liver an address in the new building
and fully fifteen hundred people heard
his helpful talk.
Rev. McFerran, of the First Pres
byterian church, gave the invocation
followed by a hymn, All Hail the
Power of Jesus Name" The audience
was led in prayer by Rev. Charles
lTebbetts, formerly professor at Penn
but now secretary of American
Friends Board of Foreign Missions.
Dr. Edwards then introduced Rev.
Perisho as the speaker of the after
noon.
Rev. Perisho gave for his text Matt.
6-33, which reads, But seek We first
the kingdom of God and his righteous
ness; and all these things shall be ad-
ded unto you" Rev. Perisho showed
how this addition could take place
under five heads, namely, Faith, Vir-
tience, from which extracts are given.
Faith is the stretch of the soul
into the unknown. The little chicken
picks its way out of the shell with the
faith that there is something in the
outer world for it. We all must have
faith to push on into the unknown.
Virtue consists of two parts. The
standard of right and wrong and liv-
ing up to that standard. The stand
ard must be put high by the mother'
and fathers for their children. Ii
must be the result of education. A
mother will point to the soiled hands
of her boy at the table, and if he is
trained he will get up and wash them
without a word being spoken by his
mother. So with us the Holy Spirit
will point at us and We will throw out
the things that are wrong. knowledge
is the art OF knowing where and how
to act. Almost every failure is caus- |
ed by ignorance. The college devel- |
OBS the mind and the university gives |
technique. Temperance is the power |
to use all of our God given attributes. |
1t means victory in self control. Wen |
dali Phillips, at the convention at |
Baltimore arose and said, IF by tear
ing up the con Institution of the United |
States into bits would give the negro |
his rights" he would do it in an in |
slant. At first he was Kissed at and |
was threatened with injury. He fold |
ed his arms and repeated his assertion
and again he was threatened, but he |
did not give up. He repeated his |
saying for the third time and the
people arose and cheered him. That
was self control, as self control means
control of others. Patience was
shown by the example Of Christopher
Columbus first voyage when his men
wanted him to turn back, but he said
Sail on" They asked him five diff
ferent times during the trip to turn
back and each time he said Sail on"
He had patience and nothing could
turn him from his original course.

the morning Of the 7th, but no mater
ial damage was done. The rainfall
was generally light, but copious to
heavy showers occurred in the Des
Moines valley on the 5th. The condi-
l. lions were favorable for field work,
and rapid progress was made in cult
waiting corn. Practically all OF the
early planting has been plowed once,
and much of it the second time. Small
grain and grass, especially spring
seeding of timothy and clover have
made good growth, but the hay crop
! will not be up to the normal. Glover
cutting will begin, in the southern
counties during the coming week,
with prospects of light yield. Cher
ries and plums promise fairly good
crop, but the June Drop" of apples Is
heavy on some varieties.

FORMULATED PLANS
FOR PRINT PLANT
Federation of Labor Favors
Parcels Post Bill and Fosse
Measure.
WILL SOLICIT CLOTHING
Children of Pearl City in Need of
Wearing Apparel and 1t Will
Be Procured.

Movement for the establishment of
its own printing plant has taken on
definite form under the guidance of
the board OF control of the Tri-City
Labor Review, as evidenced by the
report OF the board at the meeting
of the Tri-City Federation of Labor
last evening. For months past the
matter has been in embryo form, but
now has taken definite shape and till
it is carried through those who have
in their keeping the destinies OF the
paper will not let the matter rest. 1t
means much to the life of the paper
and will add greatly TO the power of
the labor organization. It is the in
tention to set up printing press and
to handle job printing in the same
plant.
FAVOR PARCELS POST.
All delegates to the federation were
instructed to send notice to members
Of congress Of the fact that the labor
organization is IN favor of the parcels
post bill and wants to see its adop-
ton. Further, they were instructed
to notify congressman and legislators
that the organization favors the pas
sage of the Fosse bill regulating the
conditions IN match factories.
BOND OFFICERS.
In order TO protect its interests, the
federation bonded the secretary and
treasurer Of the federation and the
editor Of the Tri-City Labor Review
The amount for each office is $500
The officers furnished the required
surety last night. The disappearance
Of c. z. Merrill, formerly editor Of the
Review, led to the action.
To further the sale of union Label
goods, committees of ten members in
each of the tri-cities we're appointed
NEED CLOTHING.
Though there are ample provisions
; for the feeding and lodging Of the
! families Of the striking button work
ers of Muscatine, it has been learned
that the situation has come to sucf
an extreme and dire point that it will
! be necessary to secure clothing fol
, the LOO children who are effected By
the long battle in the Pearl city. II
order to aid them, the federation de
cided last night to seek assistanc,
| from the residents of the tri-ciuei
and arrangements were made to cal
upon them for any old clothing which
they wish TO give. At the commissar,
, and restaurant of the strikers suf1
cient food is passed to satisfy tn,
needs Of those effected. Coal in larg
! quantities is at hand. There i
enough money to pay rentals, but no
4 enough to buy clothing.

Consideration Of each and every

committee to recommend a few
changes, but as whole agreed that

of the merchants and people as we'll.
The committee, consisting of F. r..
Kuschmann, II. Lange, l.. c. Pfoh, A.
F. Miller, w. H. Thoms and A. Dehr,
met with Mayor H. NJ. Schriver and
Commissioner Archie Hart in the
mayors Office last night. The prin-
cipal change sought by the grocers
regards the sale of all commodities
by weights that are now being sold
/ by dry measure.
ELIMINATE DRY MEASURE.
! IL
eliminate dry measure sales and to
substitute them with sales by weight
so that all prices will be uniform. So
many pounds to the peck and bushel
and their parts is the object of the
seller. At the present time many Of
the grocers handle potatoes, onions
and other vegetables in sacks Some
use sacks of one size and some Of an
other for the same measure 1t is tc
circumvent this variance that the
elimination of the dry measure is
4 sought.
FEES REASONABLE.
After hearing the amount of feet
to be collected for the inspection the
grocers decided that the amounts
fixed are very reasonable and that the
amount to be paid to the city is JUS
ample to pay for the maintenance anC
equipment of the Office which mus
be created 1t is possible that before
the ordinance is submitted for fina
passage there will be change N tn,
