Celebration Is Held
For BaTabOO COn7rade
PREMIUMS GIVEN
LYONS SCHOLARS

A pleasant incident of the exercises
at the Lyons graded school on Friday
afternoon was awarding premiums to
scholars who had made the best show
ing during the year in collecting native
wild flowers and bringing them to the
school teacher. The first flowers
brought were Badger blossoms (anem-
one pusatilla April 29) The last listed
are for May 18th, Ginseng. Lady Ship
pers, and Red Seeded Dandelions. The
basis Of award was the greatest num-
Der of varieties, condition and most
nearly correct naming. The premium
offers were for first, second and third
best collection to value in Towering
plants OF $125, $100 and rs respec-
lively. First premium was awarded
Edward Rormirg who was credited
with bringing in Sc kinds; second
premium to Durwood Du Bois with a
credit Of &C varieties and Bennie
Berkeley third preium for So varieties.
Margaret Horming came in a close
fourth with So varieties. Reinhardt
WeIk, five years old, received'a perse-
verance reward having gathered 80 va
rieties being the youngest competitor.
Much interest was shown in the contest
by the scholars. There were. twenty
eight competitors who continued the
work through the season.
This is the third year the wild flower
collecting has been carried on by the
Lyons scholars. The premiums were
presented to the winning contestants by
the school director, VIM. Toole.
The following list of names given by
one of the winners will be Of general
interest showing the application of
common names to our nature flowers.
Badgers, buttercups, white and blue
hepaticas, shepherds purse, woods
betony, blue sweet pea, blood
root, grass flowers, six kinds of
yellow adder's tongue, indian pinks,
blue johnny jump ups, wild ginger,
honeysuckle or columbine, indian tn r
nip, marsh marigold, Indian tobacco,
trailing dog vine, purple violet, three
kinds of sorrel, wild rye, wild geranium,
jack in pulpit, mary flowers, wild peas,
white Johnny jump up, wild mustard,
yellow violets, wild phlox, lily Of valley,
wood anemone, dutchman breeches,
trililm, wild pansies, spring beauty,

jacobs ladder, wild sage, dandelions,
wake robin, solomon's seal, shooting
stars, pink and white, white and blue
sweet peas, sweet william, lady's slipr
red seeded dandelion and about twenty
unnamed varieties. When we consider
the indefinite application Of many of
these common names, we can we'll I'M
derstand why the nature lover soon be-
comes reconciled to the use of botanical
terms and often desires the certain
Identification which goes with correct
naming.

THOMAS TO GO TO
PIONEER PRESS

Oskaloosa, May 12-AnnouncemenJ
was made Tuesday that Floyd e.
Thomas has rendered his resignation
as athletic director at Penn college
and will leave Oskaloosa within a
couple of weeks to accept q position
on the local stan of the st. Paul Des-
patch and Pioneer Press at st. Paul,
MINI. Thomas was formerly engaged
in Newspaper work, being with The
Ottumwa Courier, Omaha News, and
later the Knickerbocker Press at Al
bany, New York.
The news Of Thomas resignation
will be received with general regret
by the football and basket ball fans OF
Oskaloosa. During the past year,
while he has been in charge of Penn's
affairs on the gridiron and basketball
court, athletic stock at the Quaker
school has been higher than for many
years. Penn met faster teams this
year In both football and basketball
than ever before, and the material
from which Thomas had to draw was
supposed to be below the standard OF
former years, but regardless Of these
facts. both teams won more games
than during any previous season IN
years.
Penn is negotiating with several
men whose names are by-words in the
athletic realm Of Iowa and 1T is expect
ed that deal will be closed with
one of them within short time.

STORMS AND FLOODS
ARE AN ACT OF GOD

Des Moines, May 12.-Storms and
floods of unusual violence must be con-
sidered an act of God and cannot be
held against city or town as negli-
gence, according to an opinion handed
down by the supreme court IN the case
OF the william Tackberry company. ap-
pellant, of Sioux City against the Sim
mons Warehouse company and the city
of Sioux City.
The Tackaberry company sought
damages as the result of the mood OF
1909 when water entered the basement
Of its building and destroyed goods.
The claim was made that the capacity
OF Perry creek to carry water was les
sened by the construction Of a certain
iron bridge. The Woodbury. district
court decided in favor of the city and
the supreme court affirmed. coin
cided with the view of the lower court
that 'the storm and food was such an
unprecedented one as to constitute an
act Of God"
