Acted Death Scene

Ruby Dean, a st. Louis ac-
tress was on trial for the mur-
der of DR.. Leon Quitman in Chi
cago. She pleaded that the shot
which killed the veterinarian was
accidental. When on the stand
in her own behalf, she told such
a simply story and acted the
death scene in such realistic
manner that the jury acquitted
her tho the most damaging evil
dence against her had been in
troduced.

4 DEsERTER CAUGHT

A fine specimen physically,

board at Miami, Okla, and also
to Jess Richardson of our local
board as Guy Green, was taken
at Brunswick Tuesday while en-
gaging in a game of craps and
lodged in Jail until taken to Camp
Funston yesterday morning by
Richardson.
A Wabash detective nosing
about the yards at Brunswick
Monday night discovered a bunch
of boys shooting craps and took
them in. Among them was Guy
and having no card and evident

turned him over to sheriff Hurt

would tell the detective nothing
but Richardson pumped out of
him that he was Guy Green, that
he had been drafted at Miami.

Rooster Week

In order TO reduce the flye
million dollar annual loss on bad
eggs in Missouri, the week of
June 8 to 8, will be designated
az rooster week" I" The Food
Administration, the University
Extension Service and the Noun.
tain Grove Experiment Station,
will cooperate in promoting this
campaign for the removal of all
roosters from the laying focks.
Many of the produce dealers of
the state have promised to as
sist by offering a premium on
roosters at that time. Every
poultry keeper will be expected
to do his share by either killing,
selling or confning, all roosters.
At least one million eggs spoil
in Missouri on every hot day,
due to chick deyelopement, and
this can be entirely prevented
by selling only infertlle eggs
which will be produced when no
roosters are allowed with the
laying hens. Fertile eggs spoil
very easily in hot weather, due
to chick growth, while infertile
eggs cold storage in good condi-
tion, with ordinary care. At
temperature above sixty eight
degrees, fertile eggs start incu-
baton and in a few days, at
temperature above this point
they are rendered unfit for food.
The roosters are of no benefit
in the flock except when eggs
are being produced for Matching.
The presence of the male does
not increase egg production.
The cost of feeding a rooster
this year will be approximately
twenty cents a month. The loss
from bad eggs caused by roosters
during hot weather, amount to
about twenty dollars, on the av-
erage farm. This loss is born in
the lowerprice received for eggs.
If the rooosteris valuable enough
to keep, pen him up, if not kill
or sell him. Can the Rooster. "

K. \. S. COMMENCEMENT


Of the Senior class of the Key
tesvilIe High School we're held
in the circuit room Thursday
night May second.
After twelve long years Of
study and preparation the event
full day had arrived. Perhaps
the years were long, perhaps the
studies were at times hard but
even SO was not the goal in sight
worth it? Was it not hard to
stay in school when Others who
had learned all that was worth
while in one or two years OF
high school work were quitting?
Yes it was. But would the
graduates change places with
those who dropped out? No.
The circuit court room was
beautifully decorated for the
occasion. The columns back Of
the judges bench were adorned
with spiral bands, the class
colors of orange and black,
alternating. The space between
the columns was covered with
lattice work the same color
scheme predominating. Huge
banks Of lilacs and potted plants
formed a semicircle behind the
seats reserved for the class and
( the speakers.
At $50 the class marched to
their appointed places and re-
mained standing while the Rev.
Davis invoked the blessings OF
the Divine Being.
The class then sang Keep
The Home Fires Burning, The
speaker Of the evening was Rev..
B. Il. Smith who was introduced
by Senator Taylor. The subject
of the address was The Rising
or The Setting SUM-" The gem
eral trend of the talk was patri-
otic. Rev. Smith sees the ris-
ing sun Of a new day humanity
when the Allies defeat the Huns.
The diplomas were presented
by Senator Taylor, the president
Of the school board. Previous toI
the exercises the name Of the
honor graduate had been kept
secret. The Senator announced
that the senior to whom he first
presented a diploma was the
honor graduate. The suspense
was ended when he handed the
sheepskin to Miss Elizabeth
Agee. It is indeed an honor to
be the Honor graduate in the
class Of 1918 because competi-
tion was keen. One half point
more and Miss Gertrude Harms
would have been the recipient
Of the honors instead Of Miss
Elizabeth Agee.
After the presentation of the
diplomas the class sang their
farewell song, Rev. Mathews
pronounced the benediction and |
thus ended the undergraduate
days of the Senior class.
The class is to be commended
for having finished the school
that is provided for all students
in this district. One Of the car
dinaI things expected Of them is
good citizenship. The di Tomas
that were handed to them are
not tickets or guarantees Of sue
