There is one element in the candi-
daey OF James B. McCreary which
should commend it to every voter in
the. State. and that is the absolutely
ppotless character of the man. AS a
private citizen, as soldier, as a states
man, as public official in varied capac-
tiles. Governor McCreary is free from
blotch or stain. In this he stands al
most alone.

CLASS POEM.
CIV James Hoffman. J
There's lots of things that pleas

There's lots of things that please
me better
Than appearing before crowd;
And stumbling Ger every letter
In fear of your laughter loud.
, But you folks please bear with me-
And remember whatever you uo,-
Though many defects you may see
This hurts me more than you.
l will first voice my opinion of the
classes,
The Sophs, Juniors and .Freshies ]
mean,
Though they are poor subject
for discussion
AS can be easily seen.
The first comes a, class called the
Freshmen,
They come rightly too by the name,
AS shown by their greenness
When they try in any way to gain
fame.
But with three years of experience,
In this, our new High School,
BY the time they come to graduate
They may not be quite all fool
The Sophomores are but last years
Freshmen,
Next year they will Juniors be,
But they will never set the world
fire
That-you can easily see.
They still are little green in their
manners,
Still little off in their speech,
And it's plain that in two short
years of experience,
They never can our excellence reach.
The Junior bunch is a question,
There's some pretty good stuff in that
class.
And ii they'd just reduce the size
of their craniums
They might in a large crowd pass
BY pass I mean go unnoticed,
AS they have gone in days that have
flown,
And perhaps will yet go in the fu-
ture,
When their heads 40 degrees smaller
have grown.
now must come to the teachers,
AS l have come oft before,
When for whispering in classes,
I have been sent out the door.
There's eight of them all together,
Eight of them all of the best,
Who have told me time without
number,
That to them I'm just a pest.
Next come to dark dirge
Gathered from Icons shore,
Where stands a school house in
the open.
And coffin close by the door.
And naught is heard in the dark
ness,
But wailing and gnashing of teeth,

Who now face the problem of life,
For with our motto, Rowing, MOI
Drifting,
We are ready to enter the strife.
Our names were not made for a

They cannot be made into rhyme,
For names like Carrithers and

Don't go to make metrical time.
i And so friends, visitors and teach
erS,
! bid you a fond farewell,
ging,
Shall we answer the High School bell
But with our teeth clenched tight
| ly,
Shall we each follow the course Of
our stream,
All striving to advance the honor
Of the Glass of One Nine Fourteen.
| For four years we have been
among you,
For four years we have done our
! best
To make our Leon High School
Stand out DER all the rest.
And now in our last appearance be-
| fore you,
AS we gaze Ger this vast school,
From the president of the Senior
class
To the lowest Freshman fool,
We know that the day is coming,
That the hour is nearing fast,
When among all the schools of the
country,
Ours will be placed ahead at last.
There still are some essential
things lacking,
Things that the future will yield,
Things that require your backing,
So help boost for an athletic field.
And if you are true Leon booster,
And are willing to work with vim,
To add to Leon Highs luster,
Why also boost for a gym.

Three times and OUT Do we
really regard this saying with any
superstition? AS Freshmen, Sopho.
mores, Juniors, we deported our
selves well. But it is queer the repu-
tations we have created for ourselves
this year, especially James Hoffman
commonly known as 'SmilyD on
account of his bright and inspiring
answers in English class.
The first night after school began
the Seniors all met at Brazelton's to
make pennants, and after the pen
nants were made the Senior boys en-
tertained the girls by taking them to
the pictures show. Of course it is
needless to say that we had most
glorious time, and in spite OF the
hard work that we have done we
have also had very good time dur
ing our Senior year.
Last Thursday morning the Senior
girls gave the senior boys and the
High School Faculty a picnic break
fast at the lake. Too bad Mr.. Gass
didn't get there in time for breakfast,
for we know he is used to having
more than an orange and that is all
there was left when he got there.
The Teachers all left about 8
o'clock l think, and some how or 9TH
err we Seniors lost all account of time
and did not get back to school until
10 o'clock, but we know the teach
ers all understood that we didn't
mean to do it.
This year again we have cOntribut-
ed finder to the High School gridiron
finder. cinder path finder, Journals
tic finder, and all other varieties save
the tinderfoot.
With no misgivings we leave the
heritage of Grave Old Seniors to a
splendid class. We could wish no
better for many of its members than
that they have been of the select
crowd of 1914 AS consolation we
add, Next best is all next in order.
Blessings on their heads.
In our four years of association
with this High School, we have
broadened and deepened, we have
learned to laugh where we used to
sigh, and to appreciate sorrow where
formerly we saw no cause for sad
ness. We have had our sympathy ex-
banded for both the smaller and the
greater. We have become acquaint-
ed with the aspirations for which our
High School stands.
This is the last week of High
School life for the majority of us, we
turn now to enter new activities
where we will apply the friendliness
Of spirit, the keenness of intellect
we have learned here.
Glass of 1914 let us realize as we
say au revoir that each parting hand
shake is a pledge of active good will
toward the ideals and needs Of this
Leon High School.
Thus shall we assume the future of
achievement.

GROWING, NOT DRIFTlNG.'
IBv Harriet Lionberger.

Our motto, Rowing, Not Drift
ing is the only way to success. Our
class, the Glass OF 1914, have work
ed hard to attain the success we nave
attained, but we feel that the hard
work which we have put into the last
four years has merely shown lis that
we are just beginning to row up the
stream of life. 1t takes nerve, grit,
and pluck to get the best out OF life,
and if we fail we must fail fighting.
1t is said that a turtle will not re-
lease his grip even after his head is
cut off. He is resolved if he dies, to
die hard. 1t is just such grit that en-
ables men TO succeed and it is the
final effort that brings victory. 1t is
the last pull Of the oar with clenched
teeth, and knit muscles, that shows
what Oxford oarsmen call the beefl-
ness Of fellow.
So it is with students, the last et-
fort may be hard pull, but II we
think of our motto. and fight It out
to the last we are almost sure to win.
Two-thirds of the great men our
country has produced have had TO
work hard for everything they receiv-
ed. Abraham Lincoln surely did not
drift to the White House, but he did
the hardest rowing possible, and
gained his reward. The motto Of
nearly all great men is work, or in
other words to row not drift. We
get out of life just what We put into
it. The world has for us just what
we have for it. And there is room
for us to get the very best, for as
Emerson says, I'VE live in new
and exceptional age. America is an
other word for opportunity.

CLASS PROPHECY.
(By Emmett B. Mullins

Who can forget that day when the
Class of 1914 finished their course
of study in old l.. H. S.? Some may
have, but not so Doctor Allbaugh, of
80 Lemon ST., Quinceville. AS loyal
to the class now as then he issued an
invitation to all the members of that
old class to come to his bachelor
home and enjoy themselves as they
always did outside of school and usu-
ally In school. u. "
All had responded to the invitation
except q few who were entirely too
busy or too far away. VI

Tall and handsome, eyes of blue.
Patiently he awaits for you.
Can you not your duty see,
Chances great in such as he?
He will show you royal fun,
This Leon High School son.

Make response unto his call.

Peace has been about made and be-

Owing to the many hard fought
battles nit these teachers, our num-

tors there remain to tell the story
only twenty-five, one quota of hun

The jolly old fellow with his pack

in the Black Forest of Germany. Late

German toymakers, on whom Santa
depends for his American supply, hied

oil of imports makes it impossible to

Austria or Switzerland.
Toy dealers here received the news
philosopnically. Some of the larger
firms already have received about two
thirds of their fall shipment and feel
that they will be able to supply the
trade with the aid of American manu-
facturers.
Orders for toys, dolls, etc, are placed
in the late fall or early winter for de-
livery in midsummer and early autumn
the following year. The practice is for
big houses here to sell the goods and
have the shipments, in the case OF large
customers, made direct from the other
side. As bills do not date until the
goods are shipped, or perhaps later,
merchants as a rule do not want early
deliveries. Consequently the shipping
should be at high tide now.
As a result of the toy embargo buy
ers have focked to this city to pur-
chase everything in sight.
Some of the houses which make a
speciality of dolls have not a foreign
made doll on their counters to-day,
and cannot agree to make deliveries
on any that may be ordered. Ameri-
can manufacturers of Christmas goods
are being swamped with orders. Their
capacity is, of course, limited, due to
the fact that toymaking is not an
elastic trade, permitting the working

POLICE CLUBS END
RESERVISTS' RIOT
Barred from Steamer Rotterdam
by Neutrality Law, Crowd
Starts Trouble.

Police were called in Hoboken last
night to quiet and dispense belligerent
reservists who insisted on taking pas
sage aboard the Rotterdam, the Hol-
land-American vessel which sailed for
her home port at l o'clock this morn
ing.
The captain and officers Of the
steamship were unable to keep the re-
servists on shore when they informed
them that none but persons who could
produce citizenship papers from the
United States government would be al
lowed to make the voyage in the steer
age. Confusion followed this disap-
pointment and resulted in the disturb
ance.
More than three hundred foreigners,
eager for the trip, were driven from
the pier and out into the streets. There
they gave vent to their Indignation.
Strict neutrality was enforced in the
selection of passengers, despite the
fact that there was plenty of room TO
spare on board the vessel. More than
three hundred first cabin passengers
cancelled their booking, and il was said
that not more than one hundred would
go first class.
The Rotterdam was the first steam.
ship to leave Hoboken for foreign
port since the beginning of the war
The Rotterdam had 100 in her first
cabin, 80 in the second and almost
400 in the steerage. Among her pas.
sengers were, General James n
Wheelan, U. S. A., Sir Ralph and Lady
Paget, Arthur and Reginald Paget

MINNETONKA FLED
PHANTOM CRUISER
Heard Wireless, Saw
Searchlight and Has
tened Through Fog.

The Atlantic Transport liner Mime
tonka, in yesterday from London with
127 passengers, was pursued for two
hours Sunday evening by vessel be-
lieved to be a German cruiser.
Passengers in the smoking room were
apprised of the pursuit when a stew
ard came in and requested that the
lights be extinguished. The disturbed
card players went out on deck and saw
flashes from a searchlight to the south
west.
Captain Cannons crowded on sll the
speed his engines could supply, he
vessel steaming along at seventeen
knots. Fortunately for him, the wealth
er was misty, and later he ran into
thick fog, which did not cause a cur
tailment of speed. Passengers were
alarmed at the vibration Of the vessel
as she plunged along under forced
draft, and were uneasy because the fog
signals were not sounded.
They were assured that there was
no danger, as few vessels were in the
vicinity. The Minnetonka reduced
speed when she came within range OF
the Nantucket Lightship, the fog hav-
ing protected her until she was near
the three limit of neutral shore.
The wireless operator received mes
sage, presumably from the pursuing
craft, asking the Minnetonks 70 make
known her identity. She replied BY
asking the stranger a similar question.
No answer was received.
The Minnetonka passed the east.
bound American cruisers Tennessee and
North Carolina.
Among those on board were Owen
Wister, the novelist; the Rev. Alfred
Meyers, Of the Marble Collegiate
Church, in Fifth av.; ]. Harry Ben
