AT COMMENCEMENT
OF DICKINSON HIGH

Eleven, girls and eight boys, COM
prising the senior class of 1917 of
Dickinson high school, were presented
diplomas at commencement exercises
held in the high school auditorium last
Friday evening. A large audience
was in attendance and the auditorium
was beautifully decorated for the &C.
casion. :.
John Adams Taylor, head of the de-
partment of public speaking at the
state university, gave the address Of
the evening, his theme being "The
Four Square Man," and he held close
attention of the big assemblage from
the start Of his talk. He was intro
duced by Superintendent P. S. Berg.
Mr., Taylor graphically described
the essentials in the making of o
real man, that which is absolutely
necessary to happiness and content
ment in life. The four essentials he
declared to be: To read, and to read
something worth reading; to see, and
to see something worth seeing; to do,
and to do something worth doing; to
be, and to be somebody worth being

Plea for More Room.
Thomas H. Pugh, who presented di-
plomas to the graduates, made a
forceful plea for a building which will
accommodate the rapidly growing en-
rollment of the local school He de-
clared that no time should be wasted
in making preparations to care for the
large increase in number of students
which is certain to ensue. Petitions
must be filed, signed by one-third of
the voters of the district, he said, be-
fore a vote could be taken OF the
matter, and efforts thus far to arouse
interest have met with little success.
Mr, Pugh called on citizens of Dick
inson to respond before the need for
more room becomes acute.
Members of the junior class deco
rated the auditorium for the exer-
cises. A canopy of maroon and gold
graced the stage and potted plants
in profusion formed a floral embank-
ment. Motto of the class, Get There,
was also prominently displayed.
Sprays of apple blossoms and wild
cnrrants were also placed effectively
about the auditorium.

ST. JOE EXERCISES BIZ SUCCESS

A throng which packed the opera
house to the doors, standing room be-
ing at a premium, attended the COM
mencement exercises of st. Joseph's
school on Monday evening, and an
other large audience was present in
the afternoon. Program presented
was of unusual merit, and participants
in the exercises showed careful train
ing and pleasing talent.
"The Magic Bell" a fairy play,
featured the program, being given
in four acts, with musical selections
and other numbers interspersed. Cos
tunes were fetching and work of the
cast good.
The Rev. FIR. Hake delivered the
address of the evening at the close of
the play. Diplomas were presented
and the graduates sang a farewell
song.
Violin selections by a number of
the pupils were especially good and
the pantomimes, drills and dialogues
were well presented. Grammar

ficates for Palmer writing were

a tale disclosed in part at the hearing.
James Caldwell, after the j. C. R.

harm, it is alleged. It was related
that on the night after the decision
was rendered that he made prepara-

knife which might prove useful. It
was also related that he gave orders
to Chumick, who stayed. at the lower

ception of one. He declared that true

Save Your Hair! Double Its Beauty
 in a Few Moments. Try This!
Hair Stops Coming Out and Every Particple of Dandruf
 Disappears.

Try as you will, after an application of Danderin2, you can not find single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most, will be after g few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first-yes-1out really new hair growing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderinc immediately doubles the beauty of your hair No difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is i'm mediate and amaZing-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an in- comparable lustre, softness and lux uriance. the beauty and simmer of true hair health.
 Get 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's Dandcrinc from any drug store or toilet counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any-that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment-that's all.
 Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. It's cxhilarating, stimulating and life pro ducing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and bcautiful.- Adv.

| pigeon lofts, most of them along this
eastern boundary in the vicinity of the
battle front There are. 100 birds IN
each of these lofts.
French scientists after a series OF
exhaustive experiments have decided
that the homing pigeon relies upon the
sense of smell. rather than that OF
sight to find its way home. This dc.
cision was reached after testing every
sense these birds are endowed with.
The senses of sight. hearing and smell
were all deadened in turn. First the
birds were turned loose far from
home and bNndfolded. They arrived
at their cote according to schedule.
Then their ears were sealed with wax
and still they arrived. But when their
nostrils were closed with wax the
birds became bewildered and helpless
and fioundered around. soon refusing
to fly at all. The scientists explana.
ton is that each locality has It's indi-#
vidual odor for the homing pigeon.
and by circling aloft the pigeon final-
ly gets into the air current freighted
with the odor of the pigeons home los
cality and by following this current
he arrives ultimately at his cote.
