THE BEACON SCHOOLS OUR COLORED SOCIETY
Graduation Exercises Friday Night
a Memorable Event.

An event never to be forgotten was
the graduation of twelve young peo-
pie of the Beacon High school Friday
evening.
The exercises were held in the new
y remodeled Methodist church. The
combination plan of the building
adapts it for such service. The full
capacity was required on that occa-
sion.
The community was highly favored
with the presence and address of
Hon. George w. Clarke, Governor of
the State of Iowa. 1t is needless to
say that the address of the admirable,
thoughtful, versatile and practical
speaker was well received. 1t was
fu' - kind advice, duly emphasized,
ali made a deep impression. The
benefit of hissvisit will endure.
Among the other parts of the exer-
cises were the address Of the class
prophecy, which caused much merri-
ment; the singing of several songs
by the graduating class, and several
pieces beautifully and forcefully rem
dered by the Beacon orchestra.
Prof. f. f. Bentley has served most
efficiently as superintendent of the
school for five months, and has been
chosen for the year to come. He
has most able body OF assistants
in way of teachers. The school is
still on the upgrade, the community
having voted to add to the building
and meet all the requirements of ar
accredited High school.
| The diplomas were presented to the
graduates by the president OF the
Board Of Education, Mr.. Geo. w. Sow
den, after . very appropriate address!
ITO the members Of the class.
The graduates we're: Charles A
Rausch, Floyd Hartshorn, Fl, Hazel
ton Williams, Florence Louise Scott
Frances A. Masel, Gladys Williams
Virginia Maude Ashman, Laura J
Woodland, Mona Belle Cox, Ruth Adj
Kiner, Thelma Fern Toy and Heller
r. PARCEL.
i This school has been greatly favor
ed, having had as superintendent TO
eight years the late Robert II. VIII
liams, a man well known for his abil
fly and worth, whose service termin
ated one year ago when he was Gale,
TO an important service in behalf o
Penn College. The patrons are non
the less fortunate in the present in
cumbent.
The whole community has the tru
school spirit.

To Simplify Mailing.

To benefit the smaller merchants
and manufacturers, the government
postal department has decided to per
NIT the sending of second! third and
fourth class matter without stamps
affixed, in smaller quantities. Hith-
ertofore permits were granted to par
ties, only when two thousand or over
pieces of mail matter were mailed at
a time, but the new amendment al
lows permits to be granted to parties
desiring to mail three hundred or
over pieces of second and third class
matter, or two hundred or over
pieces OF fourth class matter.

Seventeen MARRIAGE licenses.

Seventeen marriage licenses were
issued by County Clerk W. T. Martin
during the past month of May. Leap
year is having it's effect evidently. for
there is an increase Of four over the
number issued during the same
month last year. The birth records
for Mahaska county have not all been
fled with the clerk at the present
time, but indications are that the
birth rate In this county fell far short
of the record OF the preceding year.

fire into the smaller British craft. the
German battleships and battle cruisers
strove to avoid an actual combat with
the larger ships of their enemy.
Aided by their extremely low visi.
bility and aware of the fact that they
were vastly outnumbered by the SUI
perior British armada, the German
vessels contented themselves with
pouring long-range fire into the
British line Of battle.
All day Wednesday and all night the
terrific conflict waged. The loss OF
life was appalling. Ship after ship OF
the English feet went down with col
ors flying. The German torpedo boats
and destroyers rescued many of their
crews and made them prisoners, but
there were hundreds of sailors on both
sides who died at their guns.
At dawn on Thursday the German
fleet withdrew from the scene of &C.
ton, leaving battered and smoking
remnant of the British feet to tell the
story of the giant battle.
Seventeen Vessels Lost.
Washington, June S.--An official re-
port came from London to the navy
department stating that the British
losses in the sea battle with the Ger
man fleet were eleven destroyers, three
battle cruisers and three armored
cruisers-total, seventeen.
The official report, the source OF
which was not given, stated that the
British fleet was surprised by the Ger
mans, who were guided to the enemy
ships by Zeppelins. .-

N. Y. u. EXPECTS
TO SCORE A WIN
OVER COLUMBIA

New York University intends to win
the "ci,y series as the students have
chosen to term the game with Columbia
on Saturday. Even with Captain Bern
stein out of the lineup, the Violet
eleven is confident of its ability TO re-
venge the defeat of last year, and the
entire college shares in that confidence.
Dick Eustis drove the team through a
long. hard scrimmage yesterday, and
the work to-day and tomorrow will be
quite as strenuous.
Three full teams were in harness yes
terday. and the varsity held forth
against the second and third string
men in convincing style. The scrub
team was equipped with Columbia for
nations. and attempted about every va
riety of play possible. Few % them
managed 20 get 20 the line before being
smashed and hurled back COR losses.
The defence was especially good against
forward passes. and those that were
not grounded were intercepted and run
back.
Jordan. who has been plugging along
at guard. is In q fair way o. displacing
House, who has started most OF the
games. His play has improved 100 per
cent in the last week, and he probably
will start on Saturday. Ponterey, who
will play the other guard. is going bet
ter now than he ever has before, and
with Archie Brin, that dynamic guar
dian of the pivota. position. in first
class condition again, the centre trio
Of the Violet will not ask odds of the
team IL meets on Saturday.
New-York tribune., 1916-11-22
Odds Favor Soldiers
To Win from MiddieS
BY BRIGGS

with teams which both academies have
played is not so wonderfully enlighten-
ing. Early in the season the Army met
Washington and Lee, and won by the
score of Ia to T. More than a month
later Washington and Lee advanced
upon Annapolis in frontal attack, and
beat the Middies by score of 10 to D.
Villanova Easy for Both
Both of the service colleges had an
easy time with Villanova. The Army
swarmed over the Villanovans early in
the year by the score of SO to Z. The
Navy wound up it's preliminary work by
sailing rings around Villanova by the
score of 81 to 7.
This will be the twenty-frst meeting
of the two service colleges. The Army
has one game the better OF the list OF
skirmishes. They have ten games to
their credit, while the watermen have
nine. One game was scoreless tie. The
Army has a shade the better in the
matter of points.
On the face of it the service colleges
should have the better football ma
terial, but that does not seem to have
followed. The service colleges are en-
tirely made up of men who must be
physically fit and temperamentally
football players. Also, there is no rule
barring a cadet who has already served
three or four years on college foot
ball team from playing three or four
years more at Annapolis or West Point
Many of the West Point and Annap-
oils players earned their letters at foot
ball in some other college before en-
rolling at the service academy. For in
stance, Vidal, who is a plebe or fresh
man at West Point, already has shown
some wonderful football and track
work at the University of South Da-
kota. Oliphant was gridiron star at
Purdue before he became cadet.
Yearned for Tough Games
The Army was yearning for some
tough games this year. The coaches,
after they discovered Vidal, we're natu-
rally hankering for a go with Harvard,
but they could not get it. 1t is easy
for another college to scratch Wes.
Point from the schedule, for the cadets
are not allowed to play return games.
They must have their play close to the
barracks.
Despite the betting, it is said that the
Navy is highly optimistic. That is a
healthy sign. II was optimism that
helped, and always has helped, Yale to
smash Princeton.
But the chief optimst of Sec
Daniels's school seems rather illogical.
He says: "The Navy admit the su-
perior weight, strength and experience
of the Army team, but are hoping to
win on what they consider the better
balance of their backtield."
This seems to be hitching the hopes
to something that is not in the drill
manual. If the Navy has better bal
anced set of backs than Oliphant, Vidal,
Place and Gerhardt they have some set
of backs. One might go further and
say that better balanced set of backs
than they have in the Army ought to
make anybody's All-American team
without question.
