A Large Class Will Graduate From
DEBORAH High School.

This is commencement week for
the DEBORAH high school. A class of
twenty-three will finish the course.

the large audience.

presentation.

ment exercises will be held, and the
address will be delivered by Rev.
Joseph Fort Newton of the Liberal

The Big Five summer school.

The State superintendent has
just sent out notice to all accredited
high schools that all persons who
expect to write for certificates af-
ter July 1. 1915, should attend
Summer School this summer as they
will not be permitted to write on
the examinations unless they have
had twelve weeks of Normal Train
ing. This means that all prospective
teachers should get six weeks of
Summer School this summer.
Owing to the fact that nearly all
teachers should attend a Summer
School this year, and that it would
be too expensive to hold these in the
various counties, the superintendent
of the Big Five Counties have decid-
ed that it would be cheaper and bet
ter for our teachers to attend at Up
pr Iowa since they already have an
accredited Summer Normal. AS most
Of the counties have discontinued
Summer Institutes and according to
new school laws cannot hold any
after July /, 1914, the County Sup
erintendents are anxious to have
their teachers attend the same school
that they may all be together.
The Summer School at Upper Iowa
this year is your Summer School. 1t
is held under the direction Of the
County Superintendent of ALBANIA
kee, Clayton, Fayette, Howard and
Winneshiek counties.
All teachers may take their exam
nations for County Certificates at
r'ayette either the first week or the
last week of the Summer School
without extra fee.
If you hold Second or a Third
grade certificate attend the Summer
School held at Fayetts and secure
three points additional on your sal
airy. That is, ii you have an average
of 80 you can draw pay for a grade
of SO.

Building Lot Sale a Novelty

The auction sale of town lots held
Tuesday evening brought out a big
crowd of bidders and onlookers, for
everyone thought it would be almost
impossible to dispose of the entire
number of lots at auction sale on
one evening, but Col. Inglehart, the
turned the trick and
sold the A lots for which a total OF
nearly $4,000 was paid, a sum which
paid the promoters, Thomas &
Scholl, a very small profit, if any.
The grounds were well lighted
with presto-fare lamps and the CIV
ing away of ten five dollar gold
pieces helped hold the crowd and
furnished considerable amusement.

Memorial Address. Margaret Draper
Supervisor Pfster Busy.

Supervisor Pflster reports that
four bridges went out in his district
during the storm week ago. Two
of them were in Canoe and two in
Pleasant. The bridges were about
twenty foot spans; besides about
one dozen culverts were washed out.
Another "a foot span bridge was
moved off its foundation. 1t will
cost quite a sum to fix up the dam
age. Mr.. Pfister has purchased a
Little Wonder" concrete mixer
which will save lot of money in
the repair of culverts, just about
one-third.

And this shall guide me in my quest.

Happy selection of the guest
To meet Good Cheer and Appetite.

Home shall supply in every par.

To stimulate the heart and mind.

Charge Winfield
With EmbezzHng
Fiat Paper Money
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1sPArcHl

Ell PASO, JnlY 6.-Other indict-
ments may follow one issued today at
Washington charging Santiago Win
field with embezzlement in connection
with the fight between Carranza and
Villa agents for the possession of sev-
eral millions in cOnstitutionalist fiat
paper money. This is declared by per
sons here, who also asserted several
MeXicans prominent in public affairs
had assisted in conveying a small
amount of the money to Juarez last
week. Other warrants will be issued,
they declared under the federal con-
spiracy statute
Winfield was not located. although
the city police sought him. Carranza
agents declared six trunks supposedly
containing the missing money have been
located in the express office at San An
tonic. The election conducted at
Mexico City yesterday found an ad-
verse reflection on the local Mexican
money exchange. Federal bills We're
quoted at 2S cents, the lowest figure
since the landing of the American
has been standing at about 33 cents
CarranZa national fiat currency is
quoted at % cents, while Villas Chi
huahua money stood at 30 cents The
train service resumed between Juarez
and Torreon. George st. Clair Doug
las. a British subject held by the con-
atitutionalist authorities at Zacatecas,
was released today. His detention has
been the subject of representations to
Carranza and Villa agents here by H.
c. Miles, British consul. The charge
that Douglas assisted the federals at
Zacatecas has been withdrawn, accord
ing to a telegram from Manuel De La
Vega, constitutionalist governor of IA
catecas state, in which he said Douglas
had been found not guilty before a
