FINALS At HIGH SCHOOL

The fnterclass contest in rhetor-
ieals is always an event with us. and
this year our young people presented
program, last Monday evening, that
was exceptionally good. II was the
| first time the Freshmen ever carried
of the honors, receiving possession
of the cup for the ensuing year. And
this was distinction enough, for there
was much good speaking, each class
having worthy representatives. II
was not at all through weakness in
the other classes, because the speak
ing as a whole was one of the best
programs the school has known. but
simply because our two Freshmen
speakers did some unusual work.
The audience was large, appreci-
ative, and while some would have en-
jOyed a restriction of the speakers to
more classic literature, they accept
ed generously the bit of Italian dia-
lect and the Mother Hubbard sermon
with one or two others distinctly not
classic. The program follows:
Charles Abbott, 1S-"The Rising in
70"
Helen Barrett, '1s-"The Soul of
the Violin"
Katherine Davis, IL "Beethoven's
Moonlight Souta."
Josephine Lack, '19-"At the Hair

Mr.. WOODALL'S HAIRY VETCH

At Shawnee on the farm of B. F.
B. Woodall are three acres which
were sown with one peck Of Hairy
Vetch and a small quantity of old
fashioned clover; but the latter did
not come up well and the crop cut
last Saturday by Mr.. Woodall was al
most entirely Hairy Vetch. He
brought several specimens of the
vetch to Milford last Saturday after
noon for exhibition, which were from
three to four feet in length. Two
seed produced a bundle of the hay as
thick around as a peck bucket and
measured over three feet long. The
Vetch makes a fine feed for cattle,
and horses eat it with apparent eag-
erness. Mr.. WOodall cut the stubble
about six or eight inches high and
will turn that under with the plow,
and then. plant the three acres in
corn or COW peas. The land where
it was grown is a good soil which had
been fertilized.

Beach the buyers have been paying
33 1-3 cents per bushel and the salt

that the seines will have a market

kitchener's Death Will
Not Be Mortal Blow
BY J. w. 7. MASON.
Written for The United Pre.sl.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE death
or Lord Kitchener will nave a dc.
pressing effect upon the United King
dom, because OF his services early
in the war, but II will not cause a
breakdown in the management of
Great Britain's part in the Allies
campaign.
During the past year, Lord
kitchener's responsibilities have
been gradually curtailed, until, al
the time Of his death. he had little
control over the strategy Of the war
and WAS engaged almost exclusively
In matters Of organization.
The British empire owes large
debt Of gratitude 10 Lord Kitchener
for the manner in which he stimu-
lated recruiting during the Arst
months OF the war. but he was al
lowed TO take too much power in
his own hands and IL was this fact
that has been responsible in a large
measure for the comparatively small
accomplishments of the British army
since the battle of the Marine.
When the war Logan, Great Brit
ain was very short of officers and
members Of the general staff in
London were transferred 10 field
duty Lord Kitchener took on his
own shoulders the burden Of direct
ing Great Britains military strategy
as well a. the work of organizing
the empires volunteer army. No
man could do both these duties sue,
cessfully. and the result vas that
IN strategic accomplishments the
British army. during the fret period
Of he war. dii not shine brilliantly.

with work, also failed to realize the
immense importance artillery and

war. The result was that the Brit.

Kitchener's iron character must noI

When word OF the conference OF

"We will nominate Theodore

Members OF this radical clan to-
day characterized the first public

late yesterday in Washington, as a

They realized a bid for Progress
sive support for Hughes would be
made on the basis OF the Ameri-
canism issue in Hughes address.
They held. however, that this speech
was 80 full Of glittering general
ties as TO be meaningless.
Hughes has not made a single
plain statement OF his platform, -
the radicals declared.
