l(@U UR idea in these class reunions,
 once a year, is to generate and
 encourage the get-together spirit as well as the civic spirit upon | which the future of Birmingham de- pends." was the statement made yester- day by MT. Gustav Maass, president of the class of 1913, Birmingham High school, and ably seconded by Mr. Orvile Coston, statstician of the class.
 These two young men, bright, clever, enthusiastic and abovS all endowed with youth in all of it's pristine glory, were more than encouraged and pleased over the brilliant reunion of the class which took place Wednesday afternoon at the of the most popular and honored members of the class of 1913.
 | Both MT. Mass and MT. Coston have devoted large amount of time to tho perfection of the plans of these annual re- unions of which the one on Wednesday was the second. and that their hearts and souls in the work, and the keeping together of the class spirit is evil denced by the intense interest they have shown in their efforts to foster and en- courage feeling of real pride and per- |, sonal responsibility in each and every member of the class. for the success of their ideas and plans.
 Other cities, these clever young men told me- have a wonderful class spirit among the high school fraternities, and while Birmingham is a long way ahead of any city in the south when it comes to high schools, it is far behind in the spiri. of school affairs once certificate has been received and the class disbanded at the end of the scholastic year.
 What we mean to do is this," MT. Mass said, "once year to meet with some member of the class. Last year the first meeting was inaugurated, and it was great success. This year Miss White very kindly offered the use of her home and the boys of the class got busy and arranged all the details for the re- union. Between 75 and 100 were in attend ance, out of class of 113 and l think that speaks very well for us when you consider that we are separated from Cali fornia to Maine, many of our class mates living miles distant from Birming- ham.
 During the past two years' MT. Cos ton said, there have been many changes in the class. As statistican, which high sounding title was first instituted humor- ously, but later made to cover a multitude of duties, l make the encouraging report that 15 out of our original number are married. and four additions to as many families are recorded.
 Even the married members have shown the most admirable spirit in co-operat- ing with us in the reunion plans, and it l is encouraging to work toward an ob- | jective point when so much good feeling | exists. Another idea that we have in view ]

HIS REST WAS BROKEN

O. D. Wright, Rosemont, Neb., writes: For about six months l was bothered with shooting and continual pains in the region of my kidneys. My rest was broken nearly every night by frequent action of my kidneys. I was advised by my doctor to try Foley Kidney Pills and one 50-cent bottle made a well man of me. I can always recomm end Foley Kidney Pills for I know they are good" This splendid remedy for back ache, rheumatism, sore muscles and sw ollen joints contains no habit form ing drugs.

Second Reunion of High School Class of 1913 Presdees
 Brilliant Future Tn Get Together and Civc Spirit

not give each other up entirely. The friendships we form at school are per haps the warmest and closest we ever make.
 Now as to the civic spirit which we are trying to engender," MT. Coston contin- ued; we all know that the future of any city depends upon the younger genera tions, and it is to them that good citizen ship is looked for, and if they do not ac- quire 1t early in life. it is not apt to come later on. So our idea is to agitate and discuss and if possible perfect such things as the building of a new high school for instance. The present building is entirely inadequate, the capacity of it being about 700, and next year fully 1900 will be eligible for high schcool work The younger alumni association started a new high school and that is just exactly what is needed, and with cooperation and loyalty 1t can easily be executed Phe classes of 1914 and 1915 are on the list for reunions and we hope that they will follow In OUT footsteps enthusiastically as to the spirit and object of these gatherings"
 It has often been said that a city is known by it's churches and schools and this being the case, Birmingham would certainly impress the visitor with its fine standing in these instances.
 Everybody is proud of the local public school system under Dr. J. H. Phillips able directorship and the fact that the girls and boys of the high school are sufficiently interested to keep up the work taught them during school days is an evidence of the very fine influence that their training has over them.
 The spirit of civic pride that the class of 1913 Is displaying in its effort to keep together 113 boys and girls and get them to cooperate in forwarding much needed improvements in the matter of school buildings and whatever necessary steps should be taken to provide adequate places for schooling for the hundreds and thou sands who will follow them, Is very mo- ble and lofty purpose and should be en- couraged in every way by every loya! cit izen of Birmingham who has it's future at heart.
 Next year the reunion of the high school class of 1913 will no doubt be one of the events which will be looked forward to with much pleasure, and these young folk will be conspicuous in the public eye for their wholesome, enthusiastic interest in civic affairs.

 heard along the coast and MT. Swenson states that he hardly expects to hear anything from that side as if Stefans- son is alive he will probably come out along the American coast The atti- tude of the Russians toward the war is described by Swenson as one of calm confidence that the allies will triumph. The larger part of the news received from American sources by wireless and two- thirds of the news published by the Siberian papers is American. Lii quor is very scarce it is stated and the Russian officials are much more in clined to American whisky than for merly. The natives along the coast all speak more or less English, Mir. Swensen says, and very few have learned the Russian tongue outside of the settlements. The government in order to develop a closer relationship with the natives is commencing to build schools and school houses are in course of construction at Whaling, near East Cape and also at Indian Point.
 The Belvedere will probably not visit the American Arctic coast MT. Swensen says owing to the scarcity of trade as compared to the Siberian side. The supplies carried this spring were in great demand at the trading sta tions along the coast and the vessel outfitted nearly every station. On con tinuing the voyage a stop will proba- bly, be made at St. Lawrence island and two trading parties will be landed at Cape Serge with supplies. Swensen states that the vessel may return to Nome within a short time, depending on the success in trading, but other wise the voyage will be continued as far north as is practicable.
