SENIOR CLASS PLAY

The large audience which attended
the play Miss Fearless & Com
pany" by the high school graduates
/ Wednesday evening are unanimous
i'm the opinion that it was one of the
best ever given in Mountain Home.
The membres of the cast seemed
especially fitted for the parts taken
and assumed their role with that
perfect ease and aplomb which would
put to shame great many of the So
called professionals. mss Edyth
Groefsema as Mis- Henley, the heir
ess, handled the money question
with all its attendant duties like one
born i'm the purple; Marie Evans jug
gled her nerves and smelling salts
equally as we'll as a professional; Miss
Alpha White as Sarah Jane with her
bird, a. scream from start to finish;
Miss Mildred Britton as Katie O'Con-
ner, proved an adept in the art of
ln.lulabing the Connori brogue; Miss
Cloye Burt as Baraba Livingstone,
Dora Eaton as Bette Cameron
and Addie Epperson as Marion Rey-
nolds We're as natural as a bevy of
young school girls out for vacation
could possibly be in the absence of
male escorts; Irene Briegleb as Just
Lizzie acted the part of ghost and
later as a penitent in manner that
would leave no doubt as to her abili-
ty along this line, and Last but not
least, Misses Winnifred Hanley. and
Margaret Ross as the Misses Alias
and Ahbi were the source of much
conjecture as to identity, adding
not a little to the success of the play.
Specialties by Miss Ora Swan
proved a pleasant diversion, while
Professor CaldWell's orchestra de-
lighted lovers of music with popu-
lar selections.

WAR IS SPREADING
ALL OVER EUROPE
REVOLUTIONARY OUTBREAK IN
PORTUGAL IN WHICH NAVY
ATTACKS THE ARMY.
Spain, Switzerland, Holland and Scan.
dinavlan Countries are Only States
In Europe Not Engaged In War
or on Verge of War.

With the outbreak of revolution
in Portugal, which, according to the
dispatches from Madrid Is supported
by the navy, Spain, Switzerland, Hol
land and the Scandinavian countries
are the only states in Europe which
are not either engaged in war OF
have domestic troubles to occupy
their attention.
Very little news has yet come
through from Lisbon, but it is report
ed that the navy has bombarded the
capital held by the army, which re-
mains loyal to the president, Manuel
de Arriaga 1t is not known whether
the insurrection was started by the
royalists, but members of that party
resident in London disclaim all
knowledge of 1t.
Greece, Bulgaria and Roumania
where there are pro-war and antfwar
parties are waiting for the final de-
cision of Italy as to whether she will
join the allies-a decision which has
been delayed by the resignation OF
Premier Salandra, who, however, Is
reported from Rome to be back in
office. The prediction is made that
Salandra will form new government
with the support of the leaders OF
the stronger parties in the chamber.
Among the belligerents interest
wavers between the battles in Call
cia, Flanders and Pas de Calais and
the operations in the Dardanelles
from which important news regarding
the advance of the allies is daily
expected. So far as Galicia Is con-
cerned the Austro-German rush
seems to have exhausted itself when
the river San was reached and all
the towns on the west bank of that
river, including Jaroslau, fell into
their hands. This compelled the Rus
slams to fall back in southern Po'
land so that their line now runs from
Plock, on the lower Vistula, south
ward to Przemysl, thence south and
east through eastern Gallcla and BuK-
owina to the Roumanian border.
At the latter end of this line the
Russians are still pursuing the of.
fensive and have driven the Austr ans
back In disorder for some twenty
miles, but they themselves are being
forced out of the Carpathian noun
tains and are in danger of losing
Przemysl, as the Austrians and Ger
mans are to the north and south OF
that city.
The British appear to have resisted
successfully furious German attacks
on Ypres, while the Belgians have
continued their attacks from the sea
to Dixmude and the French have
made further headway north of Arras

AN INSPIRING BACCALAUREATE SERVICE
Church Packed to Overlooking. Sermon, Song
and Music Enjoyed by Vast Audience

work Is of simple character, and
they have no profession, such as the
acher or the lawyer, nor should
: the professional man flatter himself
that he has solved the problem for
himself because he is a professional
man, There are deeper issues inl-
gilved which sweep over all these
human considerations and make them
almost trivial The great question is
what am | doing with my life, my
powers, myself?
God made every man and woman
for a definite purpose. If He made
every particle of dust, each leaf,
each animal for clear and dis
t.nct use, how much more must He
have made man-the last and best of
His creations, each one for defi-
cite %ork. Each has his or her own
little part and all the works together
make, under Gods guidance, the FUN
glory of His final creation.
Since God made us for some definite
purpose, and since He knows for
what He made us, it surely becomes
us to go to Him first OF all and
ask Him to show us His will.
In addressing the class the speak
er asked, What are you going to
be? 1t is a question he said which
You will soon be called upon to settle.
Remember, life is not worth Calling
life without downright honest work,
and a man or a woman Is hardly en-.
titled to that name who is not an
honest worker, working either with
hands or brain or both.
He begged each one, that what
ever calling they should choose that
they should seek God and His right
eousness first-choose that which
would make them fit for the next
world as we'll as that which would
make them comfortable here.
Continuing the speaker said that
honest work, thoroughly done, would
be no bad passport for another forld.
When you have once chosen your
calling stick to it; carry 1t out with
a" determination to get on; never be
in a hurry to change and never do
50 without a good reason; never rest
satisfied that you have done enough
or think that you cannot do better
Aim high for everyone who aims at
getting to the top of the ladder and
goes steadily at it will find himself at
least a good way from the bottom.
When we are very young, we are
in the habit OF thinking that all we
hear about religion, virtue, goodness,
truth, kindness and industry is quite
true and very right and proper, but
commonplace and dull and not very
difficult. This mistaken idea, for
1t surely is, arises partly
from inc fact of our being very in
eNl lerienced and comparatively we'll
defended from temptations. We have

Many Homestead FllInas

Nine homestead filings were made
before U. s. Commissioner w. c.
Howie last Wednesday. The filings
were all made ON land In the Duck
Valley, Owyhee county, and are said
to be very choice. The parties who
made the filings this week are all
from Buhl, Idaho, who stated that
many more from that place were con-
templating taking up homesteads In
the near future.

ira and a united choir of all the
churches, was excellent i'm all details.
The church was handsomely and
appropriately decorated with potted
plants, cut flowers and designs in
class colors of purple aand white.
The music, under the leadership of
Prof. Caldwell was OF the best, the
participants receiving numerous COM
pliments while Reverend Wood de-
livered one of the best baccalaureate
sermons we Aave ever heard.
In opening his address he referred
to the Scripture lesson just read and
which was taken from the third chap
ter first book of Kings, the fifth to
fourteenth verses i'm which Solomon
made known to God the greatest de-
sire of his heart upon the occasion of
commencing his life work, that God
would give him wisdom from ON high
to deal justly with the people he
called him to rule over, and how God
not only gave him the wisdom he
asked for but added riches, power
and honor as well.
In calling attention to the thous-
ands of young people who at this
time of the year are leaving our col
leges and schools, having completed
their course of study and who are
now considering what they will do
with their lives, he pointed out the
various classes-those who by force
of circumstances are compelled to
begin their life work immediately in
order to support themselves and
others who are dependent upon them;
those who are taking the summer
months to decide; those who have
general idea of a profession marked
out and who will soon commence the
study or practice; and those who
are entirely Indifferent to the divine
call of God to all persons whom he
has made to Go work in His vine
yard
During the course of his address
he said. The clerk, the day laborer
and the young home-keeper, have a
life work as well as the professional
man. What am | to do with my life?
That is the question, and it is not
answered simply by entering a bank
or a theological seminary, or normal
school any more than it is answered
by staying at home and having no
of life but pleasure. "
1t is a great big important question
which relates to the whole charac-
ter, the whole outlook, the whole
time and strength and possessions.
No one should worry because their

FENKELL GIVES
HINTS ON KEEPING
ALLEYS CLEAN

Commissioner George III. Fenkell
has launched campaign for cleaner
alleys In Detroit. The commissioner
has prepared an illustrated pamph-
let containing hints to householders
OH how can cooperative with his de-
partment, the health board and the
police department, in keeping the
alleys In clean and sanitary con-
dition throughout the year. The
commissioners pamphlets on alley
sanitation will be distributed free to
householders.
IF we want a clean, healthy city,
we must have clean alleys" said the
commissioner. Saturday. Clean al
leys are more important from a
health standpoint than clean streets
Contagious and transmissible dis
eases Of all kinds flourish under
filthy conditions. Householders
should not dump ashes. paper or
other refuse loosely in the alleys.
but keep the stun in receptacles
near the gate on their own premises
until the day the collector Is due to
pass. Alleys are cleaned once week
In the built-up districts. Covered re-
ceptacles should be used for gar
bage. Clean ashes should be kept In
cans separate from waste paper and
other refuse. as the ashes are often
used to mend mud streets and al
leys.
The Importance OF sanitation is
constantly being brought to our at.
tention from different sources. The
purity OF the drinking water and the
disposal Of garbage engages the at.
tention OF the government experts
In view of all that Is being done to
make our city healthy alleys reek-
ing in filth and garbage present a
sorry spectacle"

CHINA IS
INCENSED
Strong Anti-Jap Feel
ing Caused Uneasi-
ness At Washington

WASHINGTON. March 20.--Re-
ports OF increasing antiJapanese
feeling throughout China are caus-
ing the United States anxiety. II Is
feared that an organized attempt is
being made to force China to de-
clare war on japan. an act which
would be welcomed by Japan al
throwing open the doors to general
conquest. The United States has
been very friendly TO China since
the establishment OF the Chinese re.
public and officials frankly admit
that 1t has been urged by China TO
stand between her and Japanese az
gression.
1t is understood that the queries
addressed to the Japanese govern.
ment by the United States have been
explicit. although couched In the
most friendly terms.
The Japanese demands that China
purchase not less than SO per cent
OF her munitions OF war In Japan
that the latter nation Is to have ex.
elusive mining rights and to be
authorized TO construct railroads has
been pointed out particularly as VIC
lations OF the "open door" policy.
Up 10 the present time Japan has
not indicated whether she will aban-
don these features of her demands.
oficials are hopeful merely that at
least they will be modified.
