HERALD WANT ADS PAY BIG
CORDIALLY RECEIVED

The cast of the Senior class who
presented "The Professors Love
Story" here on May 10, repeated the
play at Willard on Wednesday eve
ming. In spite Of the fact that most
home talents do not "take" in another
town, Willard turned out in full force
and more than liked the play. The
cast had the advantage of experience,
which surmounted the difficulties en-
countered by lack of stage room and
conveniences, and put their work
across without the least sign of self
consciousness. After the play there
was an informal dance with music fur
nished by the orchestra from Sank
Centre. The amount taken in from the
performance was $58.25. After all ex-
penses are paid there will probably
be about $25 left in the treasury; -

CONQUEST AND KuLTuR

There has just been issued by the
United States government from orig
inal diplomatic papers compilation
under the title. Conquest and Kul-
tur."
The New York World says that this
publication is the most valuable ever
issued by this government or any 9TH
er government, and it should be in
the hands of every American citizen.
The work of compilation was done
by Wallace Notestein and Elmer E.
Stoll of the University of Minnesota,
who undertook to present the aims of
the Germans in the words of the Ger
mans. They succeeded so well that
the pamphlet can rightly be describ-
ed as documentary history of Ger
many's world-power obsession

Soy SCOUTS DOING GOOD WORK

A representative of this paper on
his way to the office Friday night, on

Boy Scouts who had gathered there
and We're having a jolly good time be-

Master Stephens Having always
been a lover of everything athletic he
naturally stopped in to '.Iook on" but
soon found himself laundering" to
join in, and join he did, Ginning the
bar, trotting around the big room,
etc., until almost out of breath, and
then just played spectator.
AT the appointed time Scout Master
Stephens, assisted by Hansel Leaven-
good and Patsy Gillen, called "Atten-

In his place, ready for orders. Then
began the exercises, similar to the
drills practiced in the training camps
for soldiers, and with military precis-
ion this was continued for about a
half hour, when rest was called.
Too much praise cannot be given
those in charge for the good work
they are doing toward the develop
ment of manly boys, not only physical
ly but morally, and in the near future
the country may well expect them to
perform-and do it well-any duty
which may be placed before them.
1t is a splendid organization, and our
citizens should lend every encourage
ment to the movement.

"Ill fight it out on this linz if it

made Grant famous, as did his other
utterance after the war, when he was
nominated for president LET us have
peace" "Watchful waiting is
among the phrases of President Will
sons that was coined into slogan.
Pershing's speech in France will well
serve for a slogan. He says: There

farewell party Friday morning at her
home on Oklawaha avenue.
The girls all brought either their
knitting or some other fancy work,
and just had the incest morning to-
gether. working and talking. They
were also shown the brides lovely
wedding gifts and part of the pretty
rousseau, and looking at these beau
tiful things just made all the other
girls awfully enyious of this pretty
little bride-elect
Mss Hattie Lou Dickson Of Madi-
son. the young aunt of the bride, who
is to sing at her wedding on Tuesday,
sang several numbers during the
morning, which further added to the
pleasure of the other guests.
At noon the young hostess, assist
ed by her mother and several of her
guests, served a salad course with wa
fers. sandwiches, etc.
The merriment of the msrning was
added to by the reading of number
of original poems" composed by the
guests, and all relating in some way
or another to the bride-elect. These
pretty poetical tributes will be care
fully preserved by Miss Whaley in
her brides book, which will be one
of her greatest treasures.
Miss Whaley's guests were the
members of the "A' Club, and the fol-
lowing additional guests: Miss Adela
AK of Baltimore, who hereafter will
be member of this club, and in clud-
ed in all their pleasures, Miss Susie

The noise engine has ceased its
disturbance for the past week or more
for the reason that the old electric
plant has been called into requisition
while efforts are being made to muz-
zle the noise making engine. 1t is
hardly necessary for us to say that we
sincerely trust that the efforts will be
successful and that the citizens re-
siding near it will be given long
season of repose and tranquility, but
as none of us yet know whether the
efforts to deaden the noise viii be sue
cessful or not we suggest that it is al
together proper that a ''try-out" be
given before the election. If the af-
Fiction continues we would like to
know the measure of relief that will
be given US. We want to cast our
votes accordingly.
