Program Was Furnished by
Members of the School.

Don't be afraid to be a dreamer
of the right Sort was the advice given
by State Superintendent w. d. Ross
to the sixty-one high school graduates
at the auditorium last night. The
surest road to success is to dream your
dreams and then set out to realize
them.
THE graduates of today must be
better prepared than those of yester-
day. Sixty per cent of the popula-
ton j. now in the cities to forty per
cent in the country; that is forty per
cent are producers where as sixty per
cent are consumers. There are more
men and women than there are places.
Efficiency counts and you will have to
prove it os some one else will step into
your place"
Rev. w. NJ. jackson of the Second
United Presbyterian church gave the
invocation.
After musical numbers by both the
girls and boys glee clubs, and two

JOY RIDE ROMANCE
Echo of Wedding Bells a Di-
yOrce Court Requiem.
Dare to Marry Over Champagne
Glasses Accepted.

New York, Feb. 12.-Out of a pro-
sale legal proceeding yesterday before
supreme Court Justice Newburger
asking the appointment of a guardian
for Raymond Winthrop Bowdoin. son
OF James Sullivan Bowdoin with the
firm and Il separate demand for the
appointment of a guardian for Ray
mond's wife, Mrs. Bessie Maloney
Bowdoin, burst a big secret that flow
cred into a tale of the swiftest, gau-
diest, most whimsical romance that
New York has known for many a day.
1t begins with an elopement on
dare fourteen months ago. And now
the merry wedding bells-and they
were very, very merry weddings bells
may pc tuned to ring a doleful
chime from the divorce court in re-
QUEEN once again of young loves
dream. Raymond and Bessie are each
10 years old.
Bessie, an Artists Model
However, the divorce proceedings
may develop a social drama The ro-
nance certainly started with the dash
and verve of a High Jinks musical
comedy. There was the rich youth
and Bessie Maloney, the artists mod
ell; back of them a chorus of giddy
prep school, kids and college youths,
bands playing, suppers, champagne
and dances.
A dare to them over the wine
glasses from mischievous boy friends
artists model to Jersey City in a big
motor car, with a parade of motor
cars behind them carrying a party of
"a youths sworn to be on hand to wit
ness the wedding.
Two Astounded Families.
The marriage done and back to
New York in the wee hours A we'd
ding breakfast of champagne and
ham and eggs. Then on with the
whole cavalcade Of the wedding party
to Philadelphia and many doings,
with a big dinner at night.
Meanwhile two equally astounded
families-one in an upper East Side
flat house where the dim gas jets
are not sufficiently dim to hide the
faded carpets in the Railways, the
other in an upper West Side home
whose Railways hold rich tapestries
and marbles and things of virtu in
bronze.
And then-troub1e and lots of it.
He Files Divorce Suit.
There was no exchange of visiting
cards between the west and east side
True, 1t appears that Raymond and
his bride on a dare were received for
a few days in the home of his par
ents-young Mrs. Bowdoin speaks in
terestingly of that. Afterward a sep
arate apartment for the youthful pair
and next Raymond goes far away, his
wife thinks it was to Reno, and she
bCreft at first cheers up and goes on
tho stage.
And he files a suit for divorce and
she is ready with a cross bill. So the
worst is yet to come.

same time. on st. Michaels day, he
published a pastoral letter comparing
the present war with the struggle be-
tween ST Michaels, the patron saint of
Brussels. and Lucifer, suggesting in
transparent fashion that he did not
compare Germany with the angel.

seminary that they were all obliged
to offer the greatest possible resist

In German circles, it is pointed

COUNTY Will PAY IT
Commissioners VIII Take Care of the
Royalty on Luten Bridges.

When the county commissioners
open the bids for the three proposed
county bridges Monday they expect
to have bids on three different sets of
plans. Specifications for three kinds
of bridges were submitted to the bid
ders by Walter j. Arnold, county en-
gineer. Eleven contractors asked for
specifications. 1t is not expected that
all eleven of the contractors will sub
met bids and none had submitted bid
today.
One of the plans submitted is the
regular Luten design Of arch bridge.
one is the Luten plan REVISED by the
county engineer, giving greater
strength, one is a girder bridge plan
ned by the county engineer
After the bids have been received it
will be up to the board of county COM
missioners to determine which type of
bridge it wants for the county. 1t is
expected that the Luten design will
show bids for the least money and
that the girder type will be second.
The Luten design, revised by the coun-
ty engineer, calls for the use of more
concrete and iron work and probab bly,
the bids on it will be considerably
higher than either of the other two
types.
If the Luten design or the revised
Luten design is adopted the county
will pay the royalty of ten per cent to
Luten direct. 1t will not leave that
to the contractor as it has in the past.

City Not to Blame.
When a man in Kansas contracts
smallpox and is sent to a pest house
maintained by a city. he must take
his own precautions against injury
while quarantined there. This was
the ruling of the supreme court in the
suit of James Butler against Kansas
City, Kan.
Butler contracted smallpox and was
taken to the pest house. He was walk
ing around on the bare floor in his
bare feet and a silver from the wood
floor penetrated his bare foot and
caused blood poison. He sued the city
for damages and the district court of
Wyandotte county held that he was
entitled TO collect and that the city
was required to maintain the pest
! house in a comfortable condition, so
that the inmates would not be injured.
The supreme court reversed the ruling
of the lower court and held that But

TO Catch BUNNIES
Kansan InVentS a Trap for
Elusive COttOntail.
Made With Sewer Tile; Eff
cient and inexpensive.

Washington. d. c., Feb. IA. M.
Walmsley, Kansas farmer, is the in
Ventor of trap for cottontail rabbits
which the department of agriculture
highly recommends not only for it's eff
nciency, but it's inexpensiveness and
permanency. The trap has been sue
cessfully used on the Walmsley and
other farms in the Sunflower state.
To make the trap, proceed as follows:
Set a 12x6 inc tee sewer tile
with the long end downward, and
bury it so that the 6-inch opening at
the side is below the surface of the
ground. Connect two lengths of g.
inch sewer pipe horizontally with the
side opening. Second grade or even
broken tile will do. Cover the joints
with soil so as to exclude light. Pro-
vide a tight removable cover, such as
an old harrow disk, for the top of the
large tile. The projecting end of the
small tile is then surrounded with
rocks, brush or wood, so as to make
the hole look inviting to rabbits and
encourage them to frequent the den"
Rabbits, of course. are free to go in
or out of these dens, which should
be constructed in promising spots on
the farm and in the orchard. A train
ed dog will locate inhabited dens. The
outlet is closed with disk of wood on
a stake. or the dog guards the open
ing. The cover is lifted and the rab-
bits captured by hand.
These traps are especially suitable
for open lands and prairies, where rab-
bits can not find natural hiding places
They are permanent and cost nothing
for repairs from year to year. If it is
desired to poison rabbits, the bats
may be placed inside these traps, out
of the way of domestic animals or
birds. This trap also furnishes an ex-
cellent means of obtaining rabbits for
the table, or even for market

by the club as an assistant to the chef
last September. The club manager
said that this man had charge of pre-

flavoling kernels of seasoned chicken

A description of the man sought
was sent to outside cities. He is be
lieved to have come to Chicago from

The analysis of the city chemist was
a qualitative analysis and he imme-

To Throttle the Teutons. a
The allies. the French premier as

steel band around Germany, throt-

sure while battering away at the
Austro-G erman military positions. He
pointed TO the renewal of the Russian
offensive in Volhynia, Galicia and
north of Czernowitz as indicating the
great military resources possessed by
Germany's enemies.
Until now" said Premier BRAND,
"our enemies greatest strength lay in
their remarkable system or transport
tation. permitting rapid troop concen-
tration at any point on any front. But
when the allies have encircled them
with d steel band, which is equally
strong and equally impregnable, the
enemies fine transportation system is
rendered useless, as far as its giving
overwhelming military advantag
goes. A perfect union of all the al
lies was necessary to erect that wall of
steel. but now it is fully attained"
More Similar DEGREES.
A series of DEGREES similar TO the
one forbidding imports from Germany
will be issued within a short time it
was stated today, all for the purpose
of crushing Germany economically.
The declaration of war by Italy on
May %, 1915, against Austria carried
with it the prohibition of trading with
Austro- Hungarian subjects and an
nouncement has been made in the
Italian press of prosecution of persons
in Italy on the charge of trading with
the nations enemy. The coupling of
Germany with Austria Hungary in the
royal decree alluded to is the first for
NAL action on the part of Italy to in
dictate that all commercial relations
with Germany are prohibited.

Mr.. Daniels wrote that the revenue
required for naval construction will be
