SUCCESSFUL YEAR ENDED WITH
GRADUATION EXERCISES ON
FRIDAY EVENING.
BACCALAUREATE WAS SUNDAY
One of the Finest Addresses Eve,
cred by Rev. Heaton os Paw Paw.

The rink was filled to capacity last
Friday night for the annual com
mencement exercises At the appoint
ed hour the class. twenty in number
marched down the center aisle to the
strains of Fischer's orchestra and
took their places with the members OF
the school board on the platform.
The program as announced in these
columns last week was carried out to
the letter, and every member who had
a part in the program did exceptions
ally we'll. 1t would be difficult to sin
gle out any individual member of the
class for special mention as every one
was a credit to the school and the
t.. community The diplomas were pre-
.sented by Superintendent Kaye in a
few we'll chosen words, and the high
school year of 1917 was history.
Never has a place of graduation in
Paw Paw been decorated in a more
pleasing and artistic manner. Ameri-
can flags were hung from the walls
and Japanese lanterns lighted the
stage, while the class motto "Push
Don't Be Pushed" had conspicuous
place at the rear of the platform
Mrs. Leo Warner had charge of the
decorations, and the result of her
painstaking labor was most satisfac
tory to the class and to those who saw
them.
Commencement week proper began
on the Sunday evening prior TO gradu-
alton day with a Baccalaureate adj
dress al the NJ. f. church. Rev. c. II.
Heaton of the Baptist church deliv-
cred the address, which was one of
the best ever given to Paw Paw
class. 1t was a strong appeal to the
young ladies and gentlemen of the
class and delivered in a scholarly and
impressive manner. Rev. Heaton is
one of the strong speakers of the
county.
Tuesday night was Alumni night,
mention of which is made elsewhere
in this issue.
Wednesday evening was class night,
with an address by Prof. d. b. Waldo,
of the Western StaJe Normal. The
subject of Mr.. Waldo's address was
Patriotism and War, and it is to be
regretted that every person in the
community could not have heard it.
Prof Waldo is an orator of note, and
the address was a masterpiece Owing
to other attractions and the fact that
very little publicity was given the
event, the crowd was very small in
deed and very poor reception to give
to a distinguished speaker of Mr.
Waldos caliber.
Thus closed the school year, which
has been one of the most successful
in the history of the school The in
structors and pupils are all taking a
we'll earned vacation now. and will
be ready for the ringing of the school
bell again next September.

Honest Efforts,

Moses was fated never to enter the
land Of promise he so longingly viewed
affair; and Columbus never found-who
can now wish that he had2-that un,
impeded sea route westward to India
that he sought so wisely and so dar-
ingly. Yet still the world moves on,
and by mysterious and unexpected
ways the great, brave soul is permit
ted to subserve the benignant purpose
Of God contemplating the elevation
and blessing of man. And so, I can
not doubt, the unselfsh efforts in our
day for the amelioration of social
hardships, though their methods may
be rejected as mistaken or defective,
will vet signally conduce to their con=
temRlated ends. Fail not, then, humble
hopper, for "the good time coming" to
lend your feeble sigh, to swell the sails
of whatever bark is freighted with ear
nest efforts for the mitigation of hui
man woes, nor doubt that the. divine
breath shall watt it at last to its
prayed-for haven Horace Greeley.

How to Fight the
Liquor Habit

Do YOU honestly want to stop
drinking? Then read an article on
liquor by Booth Harrington in the
January American Magazine in
which he writes about man who
says:
''They tell me there are dipso-
maniacs, and there may be some
abnormal people who can't turn
the trick; but almost doubt it.
And I don't believe there's the
slightest question of will power.
Never for one second did con-
sciouly exert my will, there want
anything real to exert it against.
l didn't say to myself, ! will or
Il WON'T l said, I've had my
last and knew that it was true,
1t didn't take the will power, or
the strength, of a caterpillar. 1t
didn't take any. just rested a
little, got my head clear, and saw
that l preferred real life, however
comedy I found in it, to drugged
one. And, also, I preferred not to
be-a soggy thing, myself: F nding
out that preference was important.
"After all, a miracle is only
Nature doing something we've
learned to expect her not to DO;
and my miracle is one that will
happen to any other man who'll
rest a while and consult himself.
MY recommendation is two weeks
in bed with nobody about except
servant to bring beef-tea and toast.
Simple enough, isn't it?"

The forces Of the Teutonic allies II

captu~c1 ~ the invaders, who are also
accepting mp their operations in the re

cure the bridgehead for operations
against southern Bessarabia. The
northern bank of the Danube is being
vigorously shelled from this latter sec

In Galicia and up in the Carpathi9r

prevails, with the Russians the ag
gressors. In the Carpathians the Rus

MONDAY.

The third Christmas Of the Euro
pean war passed without much fight
ing on the British and French fronts
where virtually only the artillery was
active and the men were Toasted and
entertained as far as was compatible
with the sterner business OF war.
Rumania's first Christmas Is par
ticipant in the war witnessed heavy
fighting. Ground was yielded by the
Rumanians at some points under the
pressure of the Germans, and north OF
the Buzeu-Rimnik road height was
lost by the ussians.

heavy losses on the Austro-GermanS

Sunday in the wooded Carpathtans.

struggle, Is void of momentous actlvi
