THE S. S. ACADEMY
CLOSES TUESDAY

! The Snowflake Stake Acade-
my closed Tuesday, May A, with
appr opriate Commencement ex-
ercises. The graduating exer-
clses were held the evening be-
fore, thirteen numbers being on
the program, each member of
the Class of Is having an as
signed part. The entertainment
was far more than expected and
the participants were heartily
encored for the excellent man
ner in which they rendered their
respective parts.
The graduates number thir-
teen eight High School and five
Domestic Art and Science-the
largest class but one in the
schools history.
The principal features of the
Commencement exercises were
the address to the graduates by
DR.. R. H. H. Blome of the North
ern Arizona Normal, and the
report of the principal, Prof.
Ernest BramWell.
The address was very plain
and practical, but forceful and
inspirational. Deep interest and
attention was evident in stu
dents and visitors alike. DR..
Blome has a very pleasing ad-
dress but gives one the impress
sion that he believes and means
with all his soul everything that
he says.
The report shows a total en-
rollment of 128 Sc First year,
80 Second year, 81 Third year,
19 Fourth year, and two special
students -72 males, Sc females.
The student body, the several
classes and various organizations
of the school undertook a tre-
mendous task of fitting several
departments and adding much
internal improvement to the
schools equipment and furnish
ings. The total cost of all i'm
provements made in this man
ner, together with class and
sundry expenses, amounted to
$424. All which was raised by
school activities. Every account
was paid and a small balance
left on hand. While this was a
heavy load to carry by the school
the good results are manifest in
the splendid improvement and,
best of all, in the loyal spirit
shown by every student.
The regular maintenance of
the school is about $725O; an
average cost per high school
student of about $50. Entrance
and laboratory fees are $3.50 to
$40, showing the relative pro-
portion of the cost paid by the
student.
Altogether this has been the
most successful school year in
the history of the Academy.
Prof. Bramwell leaves to take
a position in the Snow Academy,
at Ephraim, Utah. We are
loathe to give him up, but ne
goes with our good wishes for
| his future welfare.
The names of the graduates
are: Lafayette S. Kartchner,
Mary Hatch, Clara Rogers, Jen-
ne Kartchner, Leone Kartchner,
D;cie Brimhall, Ida West, Thalia
Kartchner, V. Rex Snumway,
Sadie Smith, Ellen Hatch, Nellie
Flake, Donald C. Flake.

Wedding Bells Jingle
4 Merrilly This Week

Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Orwyn
P. Veach and Miss Rhoda Lion
barger stole a march on their
friends, quietly slipped away in
an automobile, went to Holbrook
and were married. They were
accompanied on the trip by Lee
Wilhelm and Miss Effie Lewis,
with [. w. Tanner as chauffeur.
After arriving at their destina-
tlon the necessary papers were
procured from Clerk Henning
and the couple appeared before
Judge Sapp who performed the
marriage ceremony. The party
returned home the same after
noon, reaching here in time to
announce the "glad tidings" at
the Alumni dance that night.
The groom came here about
one year ago from Colorado to
enter the Forest Service as Ste
nographer in the local office.
He is a self-made young man, of
excellent habits, Industrious, and
a hustler.
The bride is the youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lion
barger, and, like the groom, has
been a resident of Snowflake
only about one year. During her
stay among us she has built up,
by her amiable and pleasing
ways, a large circle of friends
among all with whom she has
become acquainted.
The HERALD extends congrat-
ulations to the happy couple,
and may their married life be
one of perpetual happiness.

The contracting parties are

over this section and were reared
in Snowflake, the brides being
the oldest and second unmarried
daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. Hunt.
The grooms are young men OF
hustling qualities and are en-
gagged in the cattle business,
having a good start with which
to meet any unforeseen obsta-
cles that may be encountered.
This is said to be the second
double wedding to take place in
Snowflake. About sixty rela-
tives and friends witnessed the
ceremony.
The tables for the wedding
supper were decorated W i t h
lilacs, and loaded with fresh
California fruit and vegetables.
The day closed with grand
ball. Fifteen couples from the
wedding party joined in the
grand march.
The many friends of the newly
weds, together with the HER

London, April 28th-Field Marshal Sir
John French reports: con Monday all the
German attacks northeast Of Ypres were
repulsed and in the afternoon our troops
took the offensive and made Irogres7 near
ST. Julien and west of that place, while the
French, who co-operated ON our lett and
further north, retook Het Sast. In the
fighting on Monday our artillery took fail
advantage Of several opportunities for IN
ticlin9 severe casual les on the enemy. Be-
sides the destruction Of the Coartral railway
Junction already mentioned, our airmen on
Monday dropped bombs successfully on the
railway stations and functions at Touu Going,
Roubaix, IugeImun4ter, Stndeu, Ltu3emNrc0,
ThieIt and BouIers''.
A Belgian official despatch states: "On
Monday night our infantry repuised three
attacks south of Dxmude by the Ger
mans who are again using aophyxiating
gases. The enemy sustained heavy losses.
On Tuesday along our front the artillery Of
the enemy showed a certain activity and
oar artillery replied successfully 10y a strong
fire which proved helpful to the Frencl.
These troops attacked Lizerne, which on
Monday fell into the hands Of the enemy,
but was wrested from them again this at-
ternOOn."

London, April 2Sth-A British official bull
lotIu states: Severe fighting northeast Of
Yprcs continues, the general situation re-
1uaiuing u~uchauged. Our left faux, IN read
juatiDg its line to meet the altered conditions
due to the original forced retirement of the
French, had to tnce north and extend west
beyond 81. julien. This extension weaken
ed our line for a time and after Il very gal
liant resistance BY the Canadians against SUI
perior numbers St. Julien was captured by
the enemy and our lines now rum south of
that place. Our troops east Of Ypres have
borne the brunt of repeated heavy attacks
which they stubborniy opposed throughout.
The battle was IN Uu entirely unexpected 81
|tuatlon, which has demanded he exercise OF
gallautry and fortitude by the men and uajck
resource and other military qualities by their
commanders. Attacks were also delivered
on Monday by the Germans on the east Of
the lpres salient, but despite the use by the
enemy OF asphyXiatiuG gases they were re-
pulsed aud German officers and men were
captured. IN the fighting during the last
three days we have inflicted yely heavy ca
@sQaIties ON the Germans but our losses have
also been heavy. A German wireless report
which saws that four English heavy guns
were captured is untrue. One Of our ayia-
tors dropped bombs ON the Courtroi station
on Monday Afternoon, destroying the juno
ton, and although wounded he brought his
machine safely back to our lines.
A Paris official communicate states;
"North Of Ypres, on the left OF our battle

Mania for LaW-Making

A Iaw-making mania is a men,
ace to the American nation, says
B. C. Forbes, writing in the San
Francisco Examiner. He says:
America and Americans have
a mania for law-making.
Ponder these facts and figures.
Congress and state legislatures
pass annually five times as
many laws as all the other leg
islatures in the world combined.
In one year the laws enacted
in this country filled 43, 400 pages.
Over $50, 900 points were dealt
with. In FIVE years $1,000 laws
were passed here, and during
the same period fully IS, 900 de-
cisions having the force of stat
utory laws were rendered by
courts of last resort.
We have 40, national and
state lawmakers.
