heard from in the state championship

of the Colorado Springs Telegraph.
The write-up is accompanied by pic
ture of Lee Cover, who Gust" says is
considered strong Tiger candidate in
both the broad and high jumps:
Track prospects at the University

Slow Start for Leap Year

County Clerk George E. McCauley
believes that the ladies OF otero county
are failing to do their duty this year. as
SO far only twenty eight marriage licenses
have been issued since January |. 1916.
There have been as many licenses issued
in one month in previous years as their
have been in three months this year.
Perhaps the men who have accepted the
proposals this year are preferring June as
the month Tor their wedding.-La Junta

DIPLOMAS GIVEN
To GRADUATES

larger crowd than usual gathered
at the schoolhouse to witness the COM
mencement exercises of the largest
class in the history of the Baraboo
high school.
The speaker Of the evening was the
Hon. John NJ. Whitehead, well known
to most of the people of Baraboo. He
delivered most thoughtful and time
1y address on the subject, ga League
to Enforce Peace" the great question
not only before this nation, but the
world, is to find some method of
avoiding war.
He said we must have peace if we
have to fight for it. We must avoid
bloodshed if we have to shed blood
to do it. For this purpose, there must
be international courts, backed up
like national and state courts, by a
strong police power. In other words,
there must be international armies
and navies, which will coerce states
offending against international law.
To secure these desirable ends, a
sort of the United States of the World
would be necessary. This union Of
states would have a supreme court,
just the same as the United States of
America has. 1t would have a con-
gress or parliament which would meet
regularly. To this congress, there
would be representatives from every
civilized state in the world He
called attention to the fact that the
American union was union of thir-
teen little nations. Another instance

! speaker said. War is "a great ANA

He urged the members of the class
to give their support to this great
international cause. The human race
| is certainly capable of solving this
question if they will give their best

E. P. McFetridge, president of the
board of education, in comforting the
diplomas, complimented the class and
the school on their record during the
past year in the various fields of eff
fort. He mentioned the champion
basketball team, of which the class
had three members. He also paid
| tribute to the cast which gave the
class play the evening before. He de-
scribed it as one of the very best eff
forts, and one Of the most successful
efforts that the school had ever made.
He complimented highly the direct
ress of the class play, Miss Christian
Wright. 4a1
Mr.. McFetridge also told of some of
the plans of the school for the com
ing year. He spoke especially of the
need for more room. He said that
the Annex would soon have to be re-
placed. It's roof is but paper, it's sides
are of sheet iron. Another building
would require additional ground in
some central portion of the city. He
urged his hearers to give the matter
their thought and attention, so that
they could give the board of educa-
ton their intelligent cooperation when
the time came for a move in the di-
rection of more room.
He also announced the acquisition
of plot of ground for athletics and
physical training. Mr.. McFetridge's
extended remarks were well received.
Superintendent A. G. Kingsford, in
presenting the class, commented upon
their class motto: "The elevator to
success is not running; take the
stairs" He said, "Take the elevator.
If it's broken, repair it if necessary,
but use it." His transformation of
the motto and a more forceful inter-
probation of the words made a deep
impression on the members of the
class.
The exercises were concluded by
the comforting of the diplomas by the
president of the board, Mr.. e. P. Nc
