The graduating exercises of the
eighth grade class of 1914 took
place Friday night before an
audience which crowded the hall
to Its limit. The curtain rose
upon a stage lined with chairs,
the center three being adorned with
the class colors, red aud blue. At
the left was small round pedestal
upon which restsd the ribbon bound
diplomas. The past-Grsduates
from the year 1910 to 1918 were
called, each class by Itself TO the
stage where, after a brief history
of their class by their spokesman,
they were seated in q circle back
of the center. These classes repre=

who as sole graduate of that year
gave a humorous history of his
class. AS the class of 1914 Harold
Dehlbom, Eliza Gut hrie and
Georgia Ellis filed in, they were
given hearty ovation. Georgia
Ellis took as her theme an ESSAY
upon The Pioneers of the Koot
enai Valley" which was delivered
in a clear, wellmodulated voice
and gained for her appreciative
applause. Eliza Guthrie gave the
history of the class and the change
to the seventh grade. Her essay
was interspersed with witty satires
upon the characteristics of the
class, and the irrepressable proclivi-
ties of that troublesome seventh"
Her delivery was excellent and her
subject handled in an easy, grace
full manner. The response of the
seventh to her challenge was given
by Ulysses Chisholm and Rudolph

A narrowly averted tragedy
occurred Friday the oath at the
Wigle-Dehlbom sawmill, whereby
Swan Lundgren had his right hand
torn off in the cogs of the planer.
In some unaccountable manner he
stumbled, throwing out his right
hand to regain his balance AS he
felt his arm being drawn into the
gearing and realizing what it meant
he braced himself, and with a
desperate pull, jerked himself
loose, flinging, as be did so, the
severed hand upon the floor at his
feet. With GOODNESS born of neces-
sity he grasped the bleeding stump
with his left hand. stepped out,
calling to man to stop the mill
and started for the boarding house
some distance away. A rope was
bound tightly about the wrist and
messenger dispatched to tele-
phone to Boomers Ferry for a
doctor. Mrs. Gutbaur, a trained
nurse happened to be at the store
near by at the time, and with the
assistance of others gave first aid /.
A peculiar co-incident was the fact
that the mill was about to shut
down to allow Lundgren and
several other young men to go to
the hall for a final dress rehearsal
for the drama coming off that
evening. Fortunately the other
members of the orchestra of which
he was leader. were there waiting,
and were of valuable assistance in
the shocking accident. With rare
fortitude he kept his nerve for the
three hours which elapsed before
DIR. Stauffer arrived. 1t was found
that the thumb still hung to the
wrist and a desperate effort will be
made to save it. Lundgren was
taken to the Ferry Saturday morn
ing for treatment.

distinguished themselves in both
productions. The evening closed
with the rural drama The Old
Dairy Homestead" put on by the
young peoples dramatic club.
Space Will not permit of individ-
icing, bat it was conceded by ali
to be the best huine talent preduc-
ton ever given In the valley. The
banquet rendered the graduates by
the dramatic club was omitted on
account of the serious accident to
Swan Lundgren, the leader of their
orchestra. At the close of the
program Minnie Dehlbom called
Mrs. Persons, teacher and coach
of the club to the stage, where in
pretty speech she presented her,
in behalf of the club, a beautiful
silver mesh purse and rhine-ston
pin.

MAY SIXTEENTH IS
ROOSTER DAY

In the interest of the infertile egg
the poultry specialists have started
campaign for the elimination of the
rooster among poultry hocks during
the seasons between May 1st and
December lst. In, this connection
Saturday, May 10th, has been set
aside by the people of those states
as Rooster Day in Kentucky and Ten
nessee, when every poultry dealer in
these states has agreed to pay the
same prices for roosters as they do
for hens and pullets. There is an
enormous loss in eggs as the result
of the fertile egg, especially during the
summer and fall months, and it is
:or this reason the department recon-
mends that the rooster be kept away
from the hens during these seasons.
Fertile eggs spoil very quickly
when subjected to the ordinary meth
DDS of handling eggs on the farm and
when marketed during the hot sum-
mer months under adverse conditions
Infertile eggs will keep in good con.
dition in temperatures which will
cause fertile eggs to rot.
1t is estimated that one-third oil
the tremendous annual loss of egg:
is due to the fertile egg.
The department specialists advise
that on the 1st of May all male bird:
be either killed, sold, or confined un
til the LIST of December, or as late a!
the lst of january in same some 10
calities, inasmuch as it is not neces
sary to the laying qualities Of a her
that a rooster be maintained in thu
flock. Moreover, his presence during
those months means fertile eggs
which means bad eggs, and the con
sequent loss to the producer and tn
consumer.

Mr.. Sebree said the Short Line would

make four trips per day from the end
of the track to Hot Springs, if the

evening the bread and milk somehow
seemed to go less far. The children
were growing thin. Bridget, the old
est, was five, and the rest followed at
regular graduations down to Phil, the
baby of ten months.

Nora" Michael would say wistfully,
you and me could start out on the
tramp and do chores in the country
That had always been their longing
"a country home. But it seemed
more remote than ever, now that
there were six mouths to feed.
Nora Flaherty listened as she stood
at the entrance to the tenement
house. Sure enough, she heard the
pitiful cry of the child. She had seen
him once-a thin little boy of six or
seven years. The father was a Pole.
He drank away his money every Sat
urday night, and returned home mad
with liquor. Then he would beat the
e. little boy, who lay neglected all day in
the dark cellar-Iike place.
She heard him cry, and the mother
instinct overlooked in her. Softly she
crept down to the basement. 1t was
quite dark, except for the faint illu-
mination from a small, dirty window
near the ceiling. She turned the
handle. The door yielded. Upon the
floor, crouched on a pile of rags, the
little boy lay. He was thin and ema-
ciated, and he stared at her in terror,
like a little wild animal.
The good woman's indignation
brought a storm of angry words to
her lips. The child, thinking they were
meant for him, began to Whimper
again. Nora hurried upstairs and
stood looking at the remnants of the
loaf of bread and the thin milk in the
pitcher. There was just enough for
that night. Perhaps it would go round
if one of them did not eat. And
Nora's appetite was not very large

County Board of Education.

According to new law passed by
the last Legislature County Board of
Education. consisting of FIVE members,
is to be elected at the spring election.
The reason for holding the election
of this board in the spring instead of
at the fall election is the same as in
the case of the county and state super
intendent of schools, county, circuit
and supreme judges-to keep these Of
fees out of politics.
AS the public schools will, TO a GER
tain extent, be under the supervision
and inspection of this board it is high
ly important that good, strong men
should be elected to serve on this
board AS the election is only "a few
weeks off it is high time, that Forest
county people cast about for capable
men to serve on the County Board of
Educa tion. Wabeno ought to have at
least one member on the board
