The school auditorium was fill
ed to almost standing room last
Tuesday evening to see our own
boys and girls in the college play,
The Touchdown. The char
acters were represented by the
pupils of the High School, who
readily caught the college spirit
and each one did splendidly. The
stage settings were especially beau
tiful and appropriate and showed
especial care and study had been
spent on them. Miss Jones, under
whose direction the play was given,
is to be congratulated on the sue
cess of the evening and the boys
and girls who took part may feel
fully repaid for their work. for we
have heard only words of highest
praise for each of them. They
displayed much histrionic ability
and we are all proud of them. The
orchestra furnished fine music.
Right here we want to say that
this orchestra is simply great, and
everybody has certainly enjoyed
and appreciated their good music.
A piano duet by two little daugh-
tiers of Mr.U A E Pyle was also
much enjoyed.

day. evening, when Prof. and Mrs

of the class of 1915 and the mem
bers of the faculty, at their home
on Quitman street. The attrac-

class colors, red and gold, and
beautiful cut flowers were artist
caliy arranged in the spacious hall
and library. An interesting and
enjoyable contest as we'll as many

The Commencement exercises

Sunday morning when a large
audience assembled in the school
auditorium to hear the Commence
ment sermon by DIR. Gavin.of the
Baptist Church at Corinth. The
stage was made attractive with
decorations of cut flowers and the

to the interest of the occasion.
The opening prayer was lead by

ALL WORK TOGETHER
Federal and State Authorities Join with
Stock Owners in Effort to Stamp out
Epidemic Among Cattle

Federal and state authorities and own
ers of herds in infected districts are now
working tremendously in the effort to e.
radicate the foot and mouth disease among
stock in Illinois
One of the main causes Of the dissatis-
faction among stockmen arose from the
fact that there existed much doubt as to
whether the state would meet its share Of
one-half compensation for slain stock.
Such assurance has been given them from
Springfield as to remove this cause OF
their discomfort The House deadlock
merely postpones formal action; but all
doubt has been removed as to the ultimate
action.

Rockefeller while on the stand. He in

he had not received reports on labor con-
ditions, he could not tell within several
thousands how many men worked for him
in Colorado, he did not know what wages
they received or what rent they paid, he
had never considered what the proper
length of working day should be, he did
not know what constituted a living wage,
and, most amazing Of all, he had never
even read the list Of grievances that the
strikers filed with the governor Of Colo
RADIO and gave to the world through the
press.

Milk Embargo Modified

The State Board commissioners have
modified the embargo on shipments of raw
milk into Chicago from counties where the
foot and mouth disease has been found.
The order will release for shipment into
Chicago about 5000 cans of milk daily.
The producers are required to file aft
davits with the railroads on which the
shipments are made that the herds sup
plying the milk have not been affected by
the hoof and mouth disease, or exposed
to it.
In the other fifteen states affected by
the epidemic, favorable progress is being
made in the eradication of the disease.

CHARITY OR JUsTICE-WHICH?
Investigation Of Foundations by Govern
ment Discloses Interesting Facts.

An investigation by the government of
endowed philanthropic corporations such
as the Rockefeller Foundation, the Sage
Foundation and the Carnegie Foundation,
with a view of determining, if possible,
whether they have pernicious effect on
industrial conditions and the good of the
national life generally Of the country, has
been in progress in New York since the
middle of January.
The foremost leaders in their respective
fields Of thought and work are being sum-
moned to throw light upon the question,
which has aroused national interest
Representatives of labor and Of capital
have sharply FLASHED in the sessions Of the
commission. Much light has been thrown
on certain subjects, such as the Colorado
coal strike, as brought out in the testimo-
MES given by various witnesses. Whether
capital and labor will be brought any
nearer each other, and more sympathetic
relationship established as the result Of
the investigation, is yet to be seen.
Strangely enough, although most Of
those testifying before the commission are
professed Christians, and have advanced
various remedial theories, not one has
even remotely suggested the one infallible
and simple rule Of action, which would
bring about better understanding and
condition between the contending elements
the application of the Golden Rule: EDO
unto others as We would men should do
unto you"

In making plea for cooperation with

upon the shortage of food in the world
He said: "There is shortage Of food in
the world now. That shortage will be
more serious a few months from now than
it is now. 1t is necessary that we should
plant a great deal more. It is necessary
that our land should yield more per acre

CONTIGUOUS TERRITORY ADDED
TO ZION CITY.

The election in Zion City went off
quietly on Tuesday.
The purpose of the election was for
the annexation of territory south of
33rd street, comprising somewhere
about forty acres. The added ter
ritory extends to the south line of 34th
street. When Zion City was laid out
the street scheme was designed to
number from the State line on the
north, which would have been known
as LIST street. This was with the idea
that the city, at some time, might
spread further north or south. AS it
is, Zion City really begins at 18th
street on the north.

ABOUT BREAD

A series Of experiments have been made
by the federal bureau Of chemistry to find
out what kind Of bread is the most nutri-
tious and digestible. Different kinds of
wheat, such as whole wheat, graham and
fine white -four were made into bread and
served at different times to Woodworking
men.
It was found that white bread is very
digestible. Nearly SO per cent. of the
starch and 80 per cent. of the gluten were
assimilated by the system Graham and
the whole wheat -four has larger amount
of protein, yet the nutritive elements are
not as well absorbed and digested as in
the case Of white -four. The body gains
more nutrition from the white than from
anv other -four. The report suggests that
If is well to include both kinds Of bread
in the daily diet. For laboring men,
where it is necessary to get large amount
Of nutriment, plenty of white bread should
he eaten. For the sedentary man and wo-
man graham and entire wheat are bene-
fetal.

QUEER USE MADE OF UNITED
STATES MAIL.

LAUNDRY, MEAT, BEDDING, ETC,
SENT BY PARCEL POST.
Some queer packages have been re-
reived at the various postoffices since
the parcel post was inaugurated At
the Zion City office the other day there
was received a package from Chicago
containing bones and meat scraps.
The bones and meat scraps weighed
about twenty-five pounds, and in handl-
ing the package it fell to pieces and
the bones and meat tumbled all over
the postoffice floor. Another package
containing bedding and bed-clothes,
making a bundle of two and one-half
feet wide, was received yesterday; also,
a rocking-horse, and package of old
clothes, worth but very little, which
was packed in a paper box and which
was received in broken condition. A
letter was found in the box which
brought the postage rate up to first
class, and what might have cost about
twenty-five cents was raised to $3.50.
The party to whom it was consigned
declined to receive the old clothes as
their value was considered less than
the postage. Eggs are also carried,
but the postal authorities require red
tag attached to all perishable goods.
