Berlin. April 21.-"According to
conservative estimates. over 4,000.-

Logan, Ia, Feb. 5.--Harris
Grove graded schools, taught by
Ruth Hook and Dorothy Hardy,
will give a public entertainment
Eric ay evening, February Q, to
raise funds to purchase manual
training supplies. AS the cause
is worthy of public support
large attendance is very naturally
expected
Harris Grove was the boyhood
home of Amor and w. l.. Stern,
Prof. w. O. Riddell and others
who have won success and dis
tinction in different vocations of
life. 1t was there that the agri-
culture society was organized in
1864, and the Harris Grove far
mcrs' club in March, 1866, and
it was there that the adaptability
of the soils to the production of
grains and fruits in Harrison
county was proved to the salts
faction of the pioneer settler and
prospective settler, and to the of
ficials at Washington, to whom
reports were made by Jacob
Stern and other in the early fiji
ties and sixties. Harris Grove is
still owned by progressive and
public-spirited farmers and they
are deeply interested not only in
the home and farm, but also in
the success of schools.
Sidney Pitt, ST., veteran of the
civil war and father of Speaker
M. B. Pitt, house of representa-

are Germans by birth, and love
their fatherland, yet they are
Americans by preference and love
America the more, and propose to
stand by the flag Of their adopt
ed country in the impending
crisis.
Though Prof. J. Whitson of the
farm managing department at
Ames is reported to have begun
the survey of 100 farms in Union

and fruits are said to be object
i've features of the survey by the

Examinations As Seen BY
Student.

Exams here are very impress
sive event. You enter the gym
building and are handed sealed
envelope and little card giving
you title to certain scat i'm a
certain section. You go i'm and
sit down and wait for the sound
of the death knell. AS soon as
you hear the death knell (an OPP
|portunity rarely afforded onp)
you rip open your envelope and
obtain your first view of the wea-
pom of your execution. The pro-
cession of henchmen start at YOU
clad in long black robes and as
the one nearest you turns ON his
heel, your heart takes the con-
ventional aviation flight, landing
among your vocal chords and
rendering those members useless.
He is handing you something.
You take it after cropping bit,
for you don't see what it is. Aft
or he has passed and is in the act
of preparing your ncighbor for a
post-mortem, you look, and 10
and behold, you have in your hand
ian innocent portfolio with nice
straight lines in it drawn on a
white background. 1t is between
these lines that you are to assign
your tobacco TO your pay, your
Iclothes (if you are lucky enough
ITO have any to your poor neigh
Dor and your love to your family
and sweetheart, for you are sure
that they are going to sing for
you, and you are not going to
hear it. 1t is that moment i'm your
life when you repent all sins--be-
cause of their mildness--and add
to them the language of man
among men "------- that prof!''
Fearing that st. Peter might not
have been listening and hoping
for the best, you repeat the pro-
cess several times at the begin
ming and as many times during
the execution as may be deemed
necessary by the mode of torture,
the rack, or instant death. IL
may seem to you to he an anOm-
ally, but it is true as true can be
that we are as barbarous and as
unciviliZed as our ancestors of
The earliest times. The method
used is exactly that used by the
ancient warrior who would throw
an old woman in the lake. II She
would float she was a witch, and
would therefore be destined TO
die. If she would sink, she was
pronounced innocent. 1t is from
this practice that Horatio Alger,
Jr., our foremost American novel
list, Journalist and philosopher
lreceived his idea for that novel
and immortal bit of literature,
passing under the nomenclature
of Sink or SWIM" Not being an
old wench, nor a mermaid, I was
at sea as to my next move.

Dec. THE carefully laid plans Of
General Byng to withdraw his troops
at various points on the Cambria sal
lent to more tenable positions have
been carried out in perfect order and
apparently without the Germans even
having knowledge of the movement.
The falling back was made neces-
sary by wedges driven into the salient
last week by the Germans which on
several sectors threatened disaster to
the British should they continue to
hold their positions. From an arc ex-
tending before Cambrai, a distance of
about 1S miles, the new British front
has been lessened to a length Of about
10 miles with the bases resting in
the north in the region of Moeuvres
and in the south near Gonnelieu.
Germans Claim Towns Won Back.
As a result of the backward move
ment the Germans claim the reoccupa-
ton of Graincourt, Anneux, Noyelles
and the woods and heights north Of
Marcoing and that their uncontested
gain has been to a depth Of about two
and a half miles over q front Of six
and a quarter miles.
The Berlin war office asserts that
since the German offensive in the Cam
brai region began British prisoners in
excess of 5000 and 14S big guns have
been taken.
Violent Battles in Italy.
On the Italian front the Austro-
Germans are making frantic attempts
to break through upon the plain of

battles Of almost unprecedented vio-

countless thousands Oh men.
