The Graduation Gowns.

The estimate is made that the usual
cost for graduating "a girl in a high
school is $4,000, for gowns. flowers
gloves, etc. Many families spend a
great deal more than that. Some
spend less, but they are perhaps
wealthy people who do not fear crit
cism if their daughters dress simply.
For the working man with several
girls to put through the public
schools this is an item of expense
worth study. Parents who have am
billions for their children like to give
them a good send off. They feel
obliged to play the game with the
rest. The result is that many girls
drop out of high school before the last
year, losing the cream Of the course
and of the social pleasures that 60
with it.
In view of these facts, the move
ment for, simple gowns for school
commandments seems to be gaining
ground. 1t meets with opposition from
vain and th6hghtless people. But our
schools can not be truly democratic
so long as this heavy and needless tax
is imposed,

We owe debt of gratitude to all who
helped make it possible for us still
to say United States" We thank
you for the part you took in making
this country the greatest nation in
the world. But it is not alone to you
men, veterans of the Civil war, that
we take Off our hats, for wish to eX-
press our gratitude to the weaker
vessels also, the wives, mothers, Sis
ters and sweethearts OF you men who
so nobly marched to the front at the
time of our nations peril.
1t fell to the lot of the women of

entertained at the home OF a widow
lady. There were marks Of sorrow
upon every line OF her face. She told
me her sad story. She had given her
husband and three sons to the raw
ages OF the Civil war, and they had
never come back. This is but one
case out OF a hundred. We ought to
put 4 flower upon the graves of the
mothers and wives OF our heroes.
The Ideal Government.
And now very briefly let me touch
upon the second verse OF my text,
"And they shall beat their swords In
to plow shares and their spears into
pruning hooks" I believe that we are
fast fastening to that ideal form of
government of Divine and not human
democracy. But there are many new
adjustments to be made and problems
to be solved. Great men like Lloyd
George of England and others are try
ing to make these new adjustments
and to solve these problems without
the sword, and l pray God they may
succeed.
To my mind there is only one way
by which this can be accomplished
and that is by the ballot box Let the
rank and file stop voting for the
shrewd, crafty, mercenary politician;
and vote for men who have come from
under the rays OF Calvary; for
Christ and Calvary stand for every
thing that is pure and holy, notwith-
landing the shams and Inconsistencies
of some. Vote for men who will stand
for all that our flag stands for and
that will see that old Glory" floats
from every public school building in

good enough for me, it is good enough
for you, and if not, then go back where
you came from.

CONTEST PAYMENT OF BILLS

Issuing OF, WARRANTS
Contest Payment OF Certain Bills.

Contest Payment OF Certain Bills.
Carroll, May GA strained cOndi-
ton of affairs exists in the school
board of Maple River township. The
first evidence of discord developed
in the purposed consolidation of the
districts some time ago. 1t will be
recalled that petition was signed
by a majority OF the electors for vote
ON the question, but in the election
only a small portion of the voters
favored the proposition A serious
phase of the differences developed
when w. II. Ralph, secretary of the
township district, refused to sign
warrants for, bills presented in be-
half of the parochial schools of
Maple River and in Carroll. The sec
rotary OF the board took the position
that payment OF the bills was a d.
version OF the school fund, and as
such violation of the law. 1t Is I'M
derstood that up to date about $1,000
of these bills have accumulated, but
the secretary expresses his determin-
alton not to sign the warrants or to
permit them to be paid should his
successor in office issue warrantsfor
the bills on hand, or others of like
character.
The board consists of seven men,
bers, only two Of whom stand with
Secretary Ralph, and reorganization
will be perfected in July. 1t is as
sumed that Ralph will be succeeded
by some one who will not take the
same stand on the disputed bills,
though he will become member of
the board. TO contest against the
possible payment of bills in any way
conflicting with the school laws, TWEEN
ty seven of the leading farmers OF the
township, representing taxable prop
erty amounting to $l,O00,000, have
signed an agreement to fight the mat
ter through the courts. f..
The differences have reached that
stage where compromise is out OF
tho question.

Prosperity.
After this period came years OF ad-
justment, rest and prosperity. But
during this time and long before, this
nation was tolerating system of hu
man slavery, making merchandise OF
men, women and children; people like
unto us, save for the color of their
skins. Men with like feelings, aspi
rations and convictions This became
detriment to the nation, and God
convicted men of its wrong: thus the
voice of God was heard through their
lips as they Numbered out their pro-
tests.
There had been compromises, the
north willing to concede almost any
thing for the sake of peace, but mo
nation can long exist half slave and
half free" The problem became a
national issue and the issue cut the
nation in two, and the north which,
early in the century, had freed its
slaves, became Gods executor to
emancipate the slave.
The Sword Of the Lord and Lincoln.
Come with me please to place
called Calvary. The sun has hid its
face, the earth is trembling. seeming
ly with emotion. There hangs the
Son of God upon crude cross between
two thieves. He cries with loud
voice, 1T is finished" He died to
make us free.
Let your minds travel with me
again, please, to scene in New Or
leans, to an auction mart. There
stands homely Abraham Lincoln; they
are selling men, women and children
to the highest bidder. AS he watched
the separation of families and the dis
tress of the poor creatures, in his
heart he rebelled and he said, If
ever have. a chance to hit that thing;
] will hit it hard, by the Eternal God"
The opportunity came, he mounted
the Emancipation chariot" The
voice OF our first text was carried with
lightning speed across the prairles
until it reached every hamlet. Beat
your pillow shares into swords and your
pruning hooks into spears. Let the
weak say / am strong" You men
heard the, call and responded. 49,.
Now stand with me, please, upon
the battlefield at Gettysburg, the bat

pause like that which precedes a
tornado. The storm breaks, Confed-
crate batteries and Union batteries
ARE in flames, great burrows are
plowed in the soil, men are moved
down like grass, the soil is wet with

tragedy, for these too died to make
men free. t.

What proved to be fatal accident
occurred Wednesday at the Halter
man place just east of town. 1t seems
that some time since George Halter
man was bitten by a dog and blood
poison set in. He was taken to Den
ison hospital for treatment and was
practically cured and came home,
Owing to his being addicted to the
drink habit his wife had filed petition
for divorce or was about to do so and
Judge Arthur had enjcined him from
his place pending the decision of the
court. He came from Denison We'd
nesday afternoon under the influence
OF liquor and went out to his place
and acted so wildly that Mrs. Halter
man took the children and fled to a
near neighbours. She reported him
to the officers and when they went to
the place they found him lying on a
bed with a bullet wound in the side
of his head. He was brought to town
and DR.. Slattery examined the wound
and 1t was decided best to take him
to q hospital. lie was taken to the
Edmundson hospital where he died
Saturday. His funeral was held Mon:
day at \Noodbine.
From q statement that Mrs. Halter
man made at the hospital to his broth
er we learn that the cause was not
suicide as was at first supposed but
accidental discharge OF a. revolver.

about like this: "If had known that

did not you tell me?"
II merchant has to carry goods
over another season. the real reason
is probably that he neglected to tell
the public about them with sufficient
clearness and emphasis. The general
public are not mind readers. A first

make the fact generally known. few
people find it out. =
