GRADUATING CLASS HEAR
BACCALAUREATE SERMON

until he strikes a solid bed of rock.
Rev. Baber's advice to the students
was to dig down until they came to
the rock of Divine Truth, upon which
they should lay their foundation
stone. He admonished them to love
their homes, however humble, for
no man or woman ever became great
without a love f0r a home.
Then there is the love for country;
for it, the speaker admonished the
students to weave every silken thread
of the flag about their hearts and
give the best service possible. The
greatest privilege in the world Is the
privilege of doing ones best.
Moses turned aside from fame and
renown to lead his saddened, down
trodden people out of the land Of
bondage. Rather would we have our
boys work at a dollar a day, with
great principles In their hearts than
to be millionaires.
= The men and women who are the
greatest power in the world today For
the kingdom Of God, are the men and
women you can trust. Build the
simple faith Of Jesus Christ into your
lives, and the gilt may wear away,
bat the bronze Of character will re-
main; build for the future, and when
suns are burned out and worlds are
your characters will remain
the same.
Rev. E. G.. Hay, pastor Of the Eng
lish Lutheran church, pronounced
the benediction.

TO SUBMIT CUES,
ton TO VOTERS
Crooked Creek Railroad Company to
Ask Aid for the Construction
of a Depot in Webster
City.
o COST $4,000 TO $4,000
Will Require Tax of From Six to
Eight Mills on Property in
the City.

| The Crooked Creek Railroad COM
pany wants Webster City to build q
new depot here for the, company to
cost from $4,000 to $4,000 and the
company agrees to electrify the line
and fix it up In fine shape. It was
at first proposed to raise the sum by
subscription, but that method would
throw the burden upon few liber-
ally disposed men, while the propos-
ed improvements will benefit the en-
tire town. A fine depot can be erect
ed for the sum asked and the cleo
triflcation of the road will be very
beneficial to the town. Possibly II
the Crooked Creek gets a good depot
it will have the effect Of Inducing
the Chicago & Northwestern and the
Illinois Central companies to build
stations here that will be credit to
the town. The steam roads cannot
ask for tax without giving stock
for every dollar SO received and as
the stock of the roads Is way above
par there is no likelihood Of them
asking for aid in the construction OF
such improvements.
The Freeman-Tribune believes the
voters will favor reasonable tax,
with the : assurance Of whatever ID
given the company will be used for
the purpose for which II n given. iAs-
surances must also be given that the
company will electrify the line and
make other necessary improvements
to put the road in frst-class condi-
tion.
A one mill tax in Webster City
will yield approximately $1,000.
The levy is now about 80 mills and
if six mills tax carries it will add
a little less than seven per cent to
the tax already paid, In other words.
the man who now pays tax OF 50
will pay an additional tax of so
cents If he now pays $50, his ad-
ditional tax will be IS. 1t will be up
to the voter to determine for him
self whether or not the improvements
promised are worth the price to him.

COMPANY MAKES TWO
HUNDRED DOLLARS
Military Men Hold Successful Spring
Exposition at Armory- Big
Crowds.

Company C closed a five days
spring exposition at the armory Sat
urday night, in which they made
about two hundred dollars. The
crowds at each afternoon and even
ing were enormous, the rain of Sat
urday night affecting but slightly
the size of the audience.
The night was reserved for the
crowning of the exposition queen. OF
|the girl who received the most votes
for the piano which was given away.
Miss Helen Perry, who secured the
piano. was crowned queen at about
10 o'clock in the evening. The de-
mure little queen, who is about elev-
en- years of age, was daintily gown
ed In white and was crowned by H.
M. Sparboe with flowers, having
previously chosen her attendants
the Misses Margaret White and Lois
Leonard.
Following the crNwning event,
Miss Perry with Ralph Mikel led in
the grand march which preceded the
dancing.
Beside the vaudeville acts and the
crowning of the queen, the feature
of the evening was the violin play
ing by Master Poole, the ten year
old nephew Of Manager Poole of the
Boone orchestra which furnished the
music for the exposition. The child's
playing was considered very fine and
he received a prolonged encore.
The exposition was success from
every standpoint. Thousands of Wis
itors thronged the space between the
booths every afternoon and evening
and the benefit was about equally di-
vided between exhibitors, Company
c and the exposition. visitors. 1t is
probable that the company will next
spring put on like affair, but with
more exhibits. The small admission
fee and the amount of attractions
the management offered for the
was responsible for the
steady patronage.

CITIZENS ARE MUCH PLEASED

Saturday mornings Washington dis.

Jewell or No. 9 out Of Blairsburg.
Last fall upon recommendation OF
the inspector OF rural routes, ~the
rural mail route out of Kamrar, COM
prising route of twenty-seven
miles, was transferred to Jewell.
Patrons along the route were not
especially disconnected by the trans
fer, for they received their free mail
delivery about the same, but they
were displeased by the arrangement
The townspeople of Kamrar roared
loud enough to be heard in Wash

derived from tie rural mail route
which left the Kamrar post Office,
but the route served to keep the
name of the town on the map and
the transfer simply meant the era

the several hundreds of people felt
that gross injustice had been done.
In view of the storm of protest
which reached Washington. the town
has received notice that they would
again get their mail route back on
June 1st. The Iowa congressional
delegation took the matter up with
the department.

the individual but it is difficult to see wherein it may be a considerable fac tor in making a nation great or pros porous when one remembers that q nations prosperity is dependant pri- marily on it's commerce and trade. If an economical living standard has a material effect in promoting the pros perity of the nation, then China should by all odds be the greatest and most prosperous nation. But it is not and Is, further, the most pitifully gnor- ant and poverty stricken land on the face of the earth.
 The truth of the matter is that the Oriental races are living the way they are, not because it is better way or way more conducive to progress, en- lightenment and happiness, but be- cause they have to. The overcrowded conditions of the far east have, for centuries, compelled the Oriental races
 
 mical living standards. There was little or no choice in the matter. The them to accept the scantiest fare that would support life and is doing so to- of years that have before passed into the mists of illimitable eternity. And ton and individual inefficiency that has caused them to fall far far be- hind in racial progress toward ad- vancement and enlightenment. That Japan has escaped this racial deterior- action proves nothing at all unless it is that the people of Japan were a little less crowded, a little better cared for little better nourished than their neighbors. Comparison of the history of the Occidental and Oriental races as well as their individual char acteristies is sufficient to prove the value of the Occidental living standard as A medium of human advancement. The Oriental standard has little rec ommendation beyond that doubtful one offered by the Tollio professor that it will enable a far greater mum Der of people to exist on the earth than is possible under higher living standards. The Oriental standard may allow of a vastly increased popula- tion but one can hardly see wherein the world will be better or humanity more content and happy by having a world peopled with twenty instead of two billion people.
 The American standard of living may be excessively high as compared to that of other nations but it is in- finitely preferable to have a world peopled with two billion well clothed, well nourished, well housed and happy people who have plenty of room to move and breathe in rather than a world packed to tho 1iu,it r,ritl ir fed and ill nourished humanity living in poverty and wretchedness.

NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST IA, 1916

The difference between Occidental and Oriental living standards was never better illustrated than by the recent statement of a noted Japanese scholar to the effect that the earth would support fully twenty bill lion people if all lived in accordance two billion could find a habitable abode on the mundane footstoo if the American standard were adopted.
 The propounder of this statement is one of the worlds most noted socialo- gists, a man of great erudition and one of the faculty of the great imperial university at Tokio and his assertion may, therefore, be accepted as prac- tically authoritative.
 The American standard of living, he says. is the highest. most costly and most wasteful of any nation. Other Occidental nations, he points out, consume all the way from one sixth 10 one half less of the commo- dties essential to existence than do the Americans while there is a far greater disproportion in their demands for those things which may be prop erly classed as non essentials. The average American demands more and consumes more than any other hu- man being and is quite head and shoulders above all the races of earth as an exponent of high living.
 At the opposite end of the scale stand the Orientals consuming all the way from fifty to eighty per cent less than Americans and far below the average of even the most frugal of the Occidental races.
 The remarks of the professor are couched in terms indicating an inten- ton to show that the Oriental system of living is the one best fitted to meet the conditions of world that is fast becoming crowded and also best con- ducive to national advancement
 In support of the contention that the Oriental way Is the best he points to his own nation, Japan, as a clear example of the effects of low living and high thinking and intimates that the Japan of today is largely the re- suit of the mode of subsistence of it's people.
 The Japanese are, of course, q won derful race. No sturder more virile or more progressive race of beings exists than the dwellers of the island kingdom. Combining frugality, great strength and mental alertness, they have assuredly made a most remark able display of human advancement and national progress during the sixty odd years since an American opened their doors to western ideas and civil iZation.
 From an isolated, hermit kingdom, living in the most archaic manner and absorbed in the ideals and customs of long dead centuries, the Japanese have risen with amazing rapidity to a place among the foremost nations of the earth and stand today as the worlds most notable example of na- tional progress But, withal, it is diff fcult to reconcile this remarkable progress with the professors view that it, or most of it, is due to a cer- tain manner or condition of living, much less that particular standard by which the citizens of Japan are SUD- ported. Except in a remote sense, the living standard does not appear to the Occidental mind to have anything to do with it. An economical living stan dard may be of considerable benefit to
