children, and Mr.. Kull leaves a wife

been in another smash-up, and this was
his first trip after leaving the hospital
When the first reports of the wreck
reached Yale it was to the effect that
number of passengers had been killed
and injured, and great excitement pre-
vailed. Many autos were hurridly

scene of the accident and everone was
greatly relieved to find that the report
had been greatly exaggerated. But it
was bad enough at any rate.
The big engine was turned over in
the ditch and the unfortunate fire.

had been instantly killed. In some
manner the engineer got out OF the
wreck and was discovered nearby by
those who first reached the scene. He
had been badly scalded and was suffer-

taken to the home Of William Hydorn,
nearby, and physicians were hurriedly
summoned and did everything in their
power to alleviate his sufferings. Mr..
Kull was conscious and gave clear
and concise account of the accident,
which he claimed was caused by spread

piled the brakes in an attempt to pre-
vent the accident. The tender was
also capsized and following it was a
stock car in which race horse was
being shipped. This car was badly
listed and in some manner the animal
was thrown out and was uninjured.
When discoyered it was calmly eating
hay in nearby field.
The baggage car and both the pas

from severe shaking up and a bad
scare, nons of the occupants were in.

of nearly one hundred feet, but soon
after the arrival of the wrecking crew
and several section gangs, the Debris

track laid so traffic was resumed late
same evening.

There were "a this year, as last, seated

Prof n. j. Drouyor introduced the
speaker of the evening, DR.. Ii. NJ.
Crooks, president of Alma College,
who was greeted with applause.
Dr. Crooks subject was personality"
and we wish we could tell you all or
few of the good things he said, but
space forbids He might not be called
a very forceful or an extremely eloquent
speaker, but his calm, easy manner, his
matter-of fact way of dealing with his
subject, won their way into the hearts
of the people and we have heard it said
that he was the most interesting, the
most capable and the most convincing
speaker that has ever appeared before
graduating class in Yale. Dr. Crooks
certainly made and left good impress
sion.
After the address, the graduates wer
presented their diplomas by Supt
Drouyor who gave them a few timely
words of advice and congratulation.
Elder Charles pronounced the benedic-
tion following which a happy social
time was enjoyed andlater the young

Really we should say that there are
more ducks shot in the United States
than aI,y other kind Of game, with the
possible exception Of rabbits.
Broadly speaking the wild duck IS
not a native Of this country as it
breeds in the vast territory above the
northern fine Of the United States and
winters south Of our boundaries.
II Is on the fall migration that we
eet our best duck shooting, as the Fed
Jral law prohibits the killing of migra-
tory birds IN the spring. There are
several successful legal ways of hunt
ing ducks. depending on the location
and LAYOUT Of each hunting place
The best territory, the easiest hunt
ed and with the largest bags is marsh
ground. The marshes ofer wild rice
and other vegetation that the ducks
want and must have TO sustain them on
their long trips and as it is natural
feeding ground that is where you fnd

building now under construction, will
have no equal in the state outside of
Des Moines. This sign will be 1Sx5
feet and will contain 1873 ten watt

V shape, with the apex four feet from
the building. The two words, "Du.

work and will be two feet in height.
A border of alternated colOred lights
will be mounted on the edges of the
figurative frame and when operated
by the motor, concealed within the
sign, will produce flashing effect
common with this type of sign. BY
daylight the sign will also be distinct,
with it's large clear and white letters

the decorative framework enhancing
the beauty of the new terta- Gotta
