HIGH SCHOOL
PLAY A SUCCESS

The Mock Commencement program
at the High School last evening was
well attended and was very good, The
play was a three act farce entitled
"The Sweet Girl Graduate" and the
parts were well carried by the mem
bers of the graduating class. After the
play occurred a Mock Commencement
program consisting of music reading
and oratory, and in the program Tom
Mclaughlin brought down the house
with his Grafton on Microbes" in
which he gave the audience some ad-
vice pertaining to the subject of
Microbes.
The diplomas were presented by
Prof. Galloway and his speech kept
the audience roaring with laughter for
several minutes, while his discourse
was humorous, 1t was intermingled
with touches of seriousness and
thought suitable for the occasion.
Tonight the commencement address
will be delivered by Mr. Mark Sexson,
and as large a crowd is expected to-
night as on last evening
A small admission fee of twenty
cents will be asked tonight in order

MADE UNITED GERMANY
HONOR ACCORDED AUTHOR OF
"piE wAcHT AM RHElN."
Town Of TuttIingen, Birthplace Of Max
sehneckenburser, Is Preparing to
Erect Monument to Its Fa-
nous Citizen.

Neidingen. Gutmadingen, Geisingen
tmmendingen, Mohringen, Tuttlingen
ali these are passed before reaching
our nrst camp But of these TuttIin-
gen is our darling. We have not
passed village that could have made
US happy for many days; each with
its ruined castles, it's medieval tower,
lts steep gables, its colored tiles,
CHEEKY peasants; but, writes Poultney
bigelow In From the Black Forest
to the Black Sea-" all this. and more.
too, is united in Tuttlingen. This lit
tie town also has its feudal castle it's
ruined battlenents, its legends, and
It's quaint gables; but 1t has more
tnan thts-it has the proud distinc-
ton of having educated the poet who
made United Germany. The war-song
that has made all Germans merge
their local differences In one great
purpose-the common fatherland:
that united Bavarians and Prussians.
Saxons and Wurtemburgers, in 1870:
that brought victory over the French,
and an imperial crown to the house of
Hohenzollern-that song is die
Wacht am Rhein," written at the age
OF twenty-one, by lad whose school
ing was obtained in Tuttlingen 1t is
needless to say that his name is Max
Schneckenburger.
The people of Tuttlingen are now
raising the money needed to place
here a worthy monument to the man
who has made their town famous.
They have placed a square pedestal
upon the bank of the stream as a
mute invitation to help on the noble
work. OF course, We brought our
mite from across the Atlantic, and
promised to stir our friends up also.
In Tuttlingen is a committee of the
leading citizens, who are prepared to
receive and acknowledge contribu.
tons.
Little Is known of Schneckenburger
He died In 1S49, when only thirty
years OF age. His father blackened
boots and lifted trunks in a village
tavern near Tuttlingen, but was OBJ
viously of superior character, for he
eventually became a small merchant |
and married we'll Max was. too. poor: |
but In Tuttlingen he was thoroughly |
schooled and then sent to Switzer- |
land, where. the post of errand boy |
was given him in a grocery store.
His short life was one of hard work
and small earnings, far from his be-
loved fatherland, and seeing of the
world only what appeared in the
course of trips made as a commercial 4
.raveler His widow assures us that Il
day never passed that Schnecken-
burger did not kneel in prayer for his II
atherland, and his motto, chosen at
he age of fifteen, was this word
lone, "Deutsch." In 1910 he wrote
Die Wacht am Rhein" as an indig-
lant protest against the French pre-
entions of that time, but the battles
II Gravelotte and Sedan had been
ought before his country was made
o know the source of their inspira-
lon. Schneckenburger is another of
be many names that humanity loves
honor, but which, alas! humanity
iscovers long after its honor has
eased to be of any material conse-
uence.
