COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
Large Audience Attends Closing EN
ercises of Lamar Union High
School

The auditorium was packed again
last week for the closing exercises OF
the high school, and the large audi
ence received great treat both in a
musical and intellectual line. The
program of music was especially en-
joyable and the address of Prof.
Frank Slutz of Pueblo was one Of
the most forceful, intellectual and
entertaining ever heard in Lamar. He
took for his principal topic Loyalty
and handled it in such striking and
impressive manner as to hold the at
tention and deepest interest of all
his audience. He took a broad and
comprehensive view of his subject
and impaired his own views in such
earnest and convincing logic as to
leave new influence and ideals in
the lives of all the young people as
well as the older ones.
The handsome Graphaphone was
presented to the school by Byron
Stahl on behalf of the class, and sew
cral numbers played for the enter
tainment of the audience.
The program was as follows;

The great success of the May Val
ley Drainage District is already be-
ginning to have its influence on other
localities. The land owners of the
famous Big Bend northwest of Wiley
have taken hold and are getting up a
petition to be presented to the board
of commissioners in a few weeks ask
ing for the organization of a district
there. 1t will be much larger dis
trict than the May Valley one and
redeem many hundreds of acres which
are fast becoming unfit for cultiva-
ton. The rapid improvement of con-
ditions in May Valley proves the
great worth of this method of drain
age and the lands redeemed will be-
come some of the most valuable in
that rich section.

DECORATION DAY
Large Parade of Various Bodies and
Citizens Generally

On Tuesday afternoon there was u
parade headed by the few remaining
members of the G. A. K. Post, and
Co. c, followed by long line of
marchers from the various fraternal
orders with the w. o. W. and M. w.
A. teams and h. Ps., Odd Fellows, l..
0. 7. NJ, and Women of Woodcraft.
These were followed by a long string
of autos and other vehicles and many
people on foot until when the ceme-
terry was reached there was big
assemblage. There was patriotic
music by the improvised band and
one of the most eloquent and force
full patriotic addresses ever delivered
in Lamar by Rev. Geo. Gillette of the
Christian church. He held the deepest
attention of the audience for thirty
minutes with his appeal to their best
citizenship. After the address the
graves were decorated with a great
profusion of flowers.

NO PLACE FOR NEGROES

Many of the negroes who so blithe-
" left the Sunny South for jobs in
the north last summer are shivering
and suffering now. A friend sends US
the following from Pennsylvania pa
per:
'Pittsburg is Caring For Negroes
Brought North"
"Pittsburg, Dec. GETTYSBURG is
facing the problem of caring for sew
eral thousand illiterate negroes,
brought here from the South by rail-
road companies and contractors on the
labor shortage wave, according to in
vestigation made by Mayor Joseph G.
Armstrong and officials of the depart
ment of charities. In council today it
was stated these negroes were Undue
ed to come by railroad companies and
contractors, and after working short
time, were discharged. Hundreds
have asked for aid. Mayor Armstrong
has advised council to try to force the
railroads and contractors to return
the men to the South"

If the average citizen goes into a
store, he doesn't go behind the coun-
ter unless invited; if he goes into a
lawyers Office, he doesn't paw over
his books; if he goes into an electric
light plant he doesn't pick up a gen.
orator and try to pick it to pieces.
But good many people will go into
ali editors Office, rake thru his pap
ers from Boston to the bad place and
cause him to make remarks that peril
his immortal soul. Wonder why this
discrimination.

badly as this artist did ! Clarence
Woods of the Eustis Lake Region.
Woods says:
Among other paragraphs / wrote
for my paper was this innocent look
ing line:
"'Vote for bonds and Richmond will

"What did this old printer do to
me? He was against the bonds, and
this is what he set in type:
"'Vote for bonds and Richmond
will soon be bleeding at the nose.'"

PUT 1T UP TO THE POSTMASTER

The other day, a citizen of a Flor
ida town, who like US is annoyed by
constantly finding whisky circulars in
his postofice box, requested the clerks
not to deliver him any more. of that
kind of mail. This request greatly
worried the postmaster, who was
anxious to oblige and yet knew he
must stick as close to the law as a
postage stamp. He replied as follows:
Dear Sir: The two circulars re-
turned herewith, bearing your in
stTuctions that no more such mail be
placed in your box, have been submit
ted to the executive division of this
Office for reply.
While this Office would be glad to
comply with your wishes in this mat
ter, fully realizing the temptation to
which you are subjected on reading
the matter contained therein, the pos
tai laws and regulations forbid that
portal employees exercise any censor
ship over mail matter. The censor
ship of "liquor" matter would lead
directly to the censorship of clover"
matter, and that would involve this
office likewise all others) in a series
of controversies that would eventual
ly compel the postoffice force to retire
to the "tall and uncut"
Trusting that this little explanation
will place US right with you, remain,
very respectfully, Yours, Etc.
