GRADUATING CLASS
PLAY PLEASED ALL

Many days before the date set
for theclass play to be presented
every ticket was sold and every sea
assigned. The graduating class pla
entitled Just for Fun" was pre-
sented by the following cast of
characters: Mrs. De Smythe, woul
be society leader, Alice Hay,
Jane Mccarthy, Irish maid, Kathryn
Thielen; Edith Morton, Western
Heiress Kathleen Hunt, Mabel West,
Miss Mortons friend, Mary Laursen
Lord Chelsea, English Nobleman,
Harvey Jensen; Jack Earl, Chelsea 8
friend Norman Hensley.
Miss Morton persuades Miss West
to exchange places with her and
Lord Chelsea and Jack Earl, bor-
row each others names and position
"Just for Fun"
Miss West is an caves dropper;
Mr.. Earl learns a great secret while
Jane makes a revelation to her mis-
tress.
The mix UP was laughable and
pleased the audience very much.
The characters played their parts
proficiently; while the beautiful
songs rendered by the school boys
and girls were classy and showed
the culture they have been re-
ceiving.
The school year has terminated il
blaze of glory for Professor
Hoyman and his excellent corps of
teachers.

ontinued from last week.

Continued from last week.
AS a matter of fact however, the
breed is of less Importance in Sc
lectins a COW than is individuality
for in every breed there are good
and poor individuals.
1t is important, not only that the
breed, but that the strain OF family
represented be noted for large and
economical production of milk and
butterfat.
Experience has taught that form
and function go hand in hand, so
it is of utmost Importance to
demand dairy cows of proper form
and type.
There are. however, many excep-
tions to this rule, so that the pro-
formance -of a COW through pc
riod lactation and the performanc
of her ancestors, especially her pa
ternal grand dam, should have a
great dea. to do with her seles-
ton.
As rule, sons of great producing
COWS are more likely to beget large
producing daughters than are great
producing cows themselves.
This illustrates tn! fact that cows
need not necessarily be pure brec
for buyer or dairyman to take
advantage of pedigree.
Every COW has pedigree, but
not all pedigrees are on paper. In
view of this fact, in selecting grade
COWS look up and consider the per-
formance of dams as far back as
they can be- found.

WHO MAY VOTE At
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY

Des Molnes, Iowa, May, 21-In an
swer to the many inquiries that have
been made, the office of the Attorn-
ey General of Iowa has issued
statement relative to who may vote
at the democratic primary to be hel
Monda., june l. inquiries have flock
ed In because of the statement that
of the two hundred thousand demo-
Gratis in Iowa but fifty-eight thousa
voted at the last primary. In view
of this situation and the keen party
spirit that is breaking forth afresh
all over Iowa the question has risen
generally as to who is entitled to
vote. In many counties in the state
the majority of the voters have paid
no attention to the primaries becaus
OF the lack of contests for nominal
tlons and many OF them have voted
In the republican primaries. In tax
ing UP this question the Attorney
General construes the law as, follows
any uSluOCIdI WHO mas heretofore
affiliated with the republican party
by voting at the primary election as
a republican, must, in order to vote
as a democrat at primary in June
change his affiliation by filing with
the county auditor of his county
ON or before the 22nd day of Nav,
change of affiliate All county
auditors have blanks for this per-
pose and will furnish them on
demand.
Amy democrat who has not hereto
affiliated with the republican, party
although he has not attended the
primaries may vote for his choice
of democratic candidates by simple
demanding of the judges of election
democratic primary ticket, and of
course all democrats who have here
tofore been voting at the democratic
primaries have the right to continue
SO to do,

FAIR DEALING
FAIR PLAY

At the present there is pending be
fore Congress fatheTed and
fostered by Repr. Stevens, known as
STEVENS PRICE STANDARDIlA
TION BILL.
1t is bill intended to help the sma
er towns and the merchants in the
smaller town, inasmuch as it will be
largely instrumental in curbing the
unfair, price-cutting competition of
some of the unscrupolous mail-orde
houses. 1t is we'll known fact that
some of these houses will take
leading or staple articles and make
a slight reduction in the price
with the veiw in end to make the
people believe that all other ar
ticles are cut accordingly. Some
houses even send out statesmen and
solicit orders for groceries for in
stance and the prices are very allud
Mig but the quality differs as a
general rule about so per cent
where the difference in price nev
er VIII exceed to 10 per cent.
The Amer ,an Fair Trade LeAsue
is strc'g y, ing 8 bill arI :.
asking H.. support & everY ta;,-
minded voter. They expect the voter
to write their congressman and sens
tors to support the bill and this
ought to be done 1t is certainly
a measure which will help the COM
munity more than any other meas
ure recently before the representa-
tives of the people and it should
have the unlirlited support of all
the people

FISHING SEASON
IS ON IN FULL

The fishing season opened on the
9th Ultimo and if any of our nim-
rods had been awaiting the date to
arriye they can now safely try the
fisherman luck without danger of
molestaticn from the law. Several
of our local sportsmen, who love to
catch fish could not wait till away
in May to bait their hooks; so, talk
ing chances, on one shoulder and
a fish pole and tackle On the other
stole away to our pretty brook
and while communing with nature
slyly dropped the hook into deep
water,
Usually mess was caught and
carried home
The law prohibits the taking or
killing of fish less than six inches
long at any time of the year

Huqo Got 1t We'll Turned Around by
 the Third Time He Told 1t.
 Right after Napoleon I1I.'s coup d'etat Victor Hugo and Schoelcher, well known politician of that peri cd, fled together from Paris. A short time afterward. when Hugo met Schoelcher at his table in Brus- sels. the poet said: "Yes, my dear friend, you can boast of having once scared me very mach. had no doubt that we were done for" Turning to the other guests. he ex- plained:
 "We were on the way to the Northern railroad depot and were sitting silent and uneasy in the om- nibus, our hats drawn deep over our foreheads. Presently regiment of infantry passed by with flying colors and resounding music. At the sight Schoelcher forgot all caution and. leaning out of the window. shouted, Down with Caesar!' Instantly 1 caught hold of him and closed his mouth with my hand. One word more and we should have been done for"
 Two years later Schoelcher visit ed his friend Hugo in Guernsey. Al dinner again the coup d'etat was discussed, and the poet called forth recollections of times past. "Do you still recollect, Schoelcher," he ask ed, ''the day of our flight? We real ly came off very lucky. But didn't we act like madmen, shouting Down with Caesarv when that regiment was passing by? Of course we were too indignant to be able to keep our temper"
 Several years lapsed, and again Schoelcher was a guest in Hugo's house. Conversation turned to civic courage and the like. "Well, my dear Schoelcher," Hugo said to his friend, '1 must tell you something I have had in my heart for years. In a critical moment of your life you showed a weakness which griev- ed me deeply. You will recollect that day when we, after the coup d'etat, left Paris and how 1, while a regiment of infantry was passing by, at the sight of these killers of our liberty and in a rage, having no command over myself, shouted out, Down with CaesarI still have you before my eyes trembling with fear, catching hold of me by the lapel of my coat and forcing me down on the seat, so concerned you were for your precious life"

INDIGNATION
AGAINST WOMEN.

The people of England have been
rendered desperate by the continued
acts of violence upon the part of
sutfragettes. The increasing cases of
arson, dissertation of property, insults
to officials (the king and queen being
the latest victimsl, the invasion OF
churches and the destruction of works
of art in public galleries, have caused
bitterness against the perpetrators of
such outrages Notwithstanding the
fact that they are women.
Ministers of the gospel are joining
in movements for taking heroic macs
ures to bring such acts of vandalism
to "a stop,and they suggest that the
women should be allowed to die when
they enter into hunger strikes.
The British government is about
to adopt a measure which has for Its
object the identification of prison Of
ficials who may allow women to die
who refuse to eat.
The actions Of English women en-
gagged in the militant movement Is
most discouragingg to the friends OF
equal suffrage on this side of thu
ocean.
