While Pupils Enjoy Long Holiday,
Their Teachers GO to School

been completed. Commencement
week has come and gone, and, th,
eight students who composed th'
class Of '13 in Laelede high schoo
are now planning other and posi-
bly, better things for the years t
come.
There are some members of tht
class of '13 to whom the higf
school course has been easy, while
Others have had to work hard and
make many sacrifices in order to
secure a high school education.
They have all done well and are to
be congratulated on having attain
ed at least another step toward their
goal. In Laclede high school they
have learned many of the things
which will help them to be better
and more useful citizens, and some
Of them will probably add to their
future usefulness by attending col
lege, while others must face the
practical side of life without further
preparation.
The class play, Forging a
Name, +" was given at the high
school auditorium Thursday even
ing and was enjoyed by large
audience. The members of the
class aud the others who assisted
did all that was expeeted of them
and some Of the characters were
especially good. Music was fur
nished by a Brookield orchestra.
Friday evening at the M. 3.
church DR.. B. L. Smith of Moberly
delivered his splendid address on
the subject, Follow the Clean. "
The masterly manner in which he
handled his subject aroused the
admiration and enthusiasm Of the
large audience. The music by the
high school chorus was excellent.
DR.. F. W. Burke, president Of
the school board, presented diplo-
mas to the graduates, who were
Carl Harris, Thornie Lamme, Zola
Groes, Cecille Head, Bertha Libby,
Margaret Daniels, Ruby Adams
and Madge Kent. In the course Of
his remarks DIR. Burke mentioned
the fact that more money is needed
for the schools, although the tax
rate is now as high as the law al
lows, and suggested a method by
which more money might be secured
without increasing the levy or the
valuation of property now taxed.
In the eight grade diplomas were
given to the eight members Of the
graduating class Friday morning,
when fine program was rendered
by members of the various grades.
The freshmen-to-be are Stanley
Whitaker, Paul Carothers, Arthur
Glover, Marcedes Mouser, Hazel
Rankin, RUBY. Walker, Virginia
Cotter and Katheryne Waters.
In Misses Heath, Andrews,
Bachtel and Barber the Laclede
schools have as fine a corps of
grade teachers as can be found
anywhere, while Superintendent
Watkins and Misses Kraft and
Bradley have done excellent work
in the high school. But while the
pupils are enjoying their needed va
cation, the tired teachers, or nearly
all Of them, win go to school them
selves this summer at the various
normaIs and prepare themselves
for even greater usefulness in
future.

Old Bacchus Driven From The White

Among the ancients old Bacchus
was the most rcpulsive Of all the
deities. He was even more despiscd
than Pluto. His followers worshipped
him with their uppetites and pas
sions, and not with their hearts
His celebrations were boisterous as
semblages, drunken revels, disgust.
ing ceremonies, vulgar orgies. They
were typical of the estimate placed
upon strong drink in every age of
the world. From the disgrace Of
Noah to the reign Of the modern
brewery Intoxicating liquor has been
regarded as the great prolific pro-

"No wonder, therefore, that Wood

Governor GGnera|ship Of Phil
ippineS to Be Filled.

It is understood in the national cap.
ital that President Wilson is now
considering Ex-Governor Benton Nc
Millin of Tennessee for the governor
generalship of the Philippines, to sue
coed Cameron Forbes of Boston, who
is now in this country no leave.
The entire Tennessee delegation in
congress has urged the president and
Secretary of State Bryan to appoint
Mr.. McMillin ambassador to Mexico.
Mr.. Bryan is known to have looked
on the suggestion with favor because
of the high opinion he formed of the
Tennesseean when they were col
leagues upon the ways and means
committee of the house.
Another man whom the president is
considering for the governor general
ship is Joseph E. Davies of Wiscon-
sin, secretary of the Democratic ma
tional committee. The position pays
