CLASS DAY EXERCISES.
The high school auditorium was filled
to capacity Wednesday night to wit
ness the class night exercises. The
auditorium was appropriately decorated
in the class colors, red, white and blue.
The program was opened with selec-
tions by the high school orchestra under
direction of Miss Eva Billsbury. James
Curran, president of the senior class,
welcomed the guests and delivered an
Grafton contrasting public school edu-
cation in America and in Germany.
Chester Peters gave the history of the
class of '18. The class poem, written
and delivered by Miss Kathryn Phifer,
was exceedingly clever. Miss Bills
bury, instructor of music, pleased her
audience with double number. The
class prophecy by Edith Gardiner,
Kathryn Ellingson and Zyda Price was
original. Thunder and lightning and
then weird incantations produced the
proper atmosphere, as on darkened
stage, cleverly gotten up as the three
witches, they read the futures of their
classmates in boiling coldron. Archie
Saxby gave the charge to underclass-
men, followed by the presentation Of
the gift by Gordon Page. The orches-
ira rendered the ''Barcarolle" from
''Tales of Hoffman," John Devine dis
posed of the possessions of the class of

CATTLE WILL

Dallas, May 25.-Discovery that
Texas cattle will eat the wings of an
airplane of the machine is left un-

general order to "stick with the ma

impressed upon every cadet aviator

The fact that COWS have an appe-

(By Associated Press)

Minneapolis, May 24.-How Ton.
and Teddy Burgwald, twin brothers
who played baseball in the Irol
Range league last year, put one
over on NJ. Z. Cantillon, president o
the Minneapolis club of the Ameri
can Association, is going the rounds
in baseball circles.
Anxious to plug up hole in his in.
field, Cantillon made Tony Burgwald
a flattering offer. Tony, however
was satisfied at that time to remain
with the ChiShilm team, and sent his
brother Teddy to Minneapolis. In his
forst weeks play Teddy literally
burned up the association. and Can
tillon. hearing that he had brother
playing ball in northern Minnesota,
sent him a contract. Now Tiny is
going to sign with the Millers.
Thus far Cantillon is not certain
which Burgwald is the man wanted,
but he is not going to take any

.HALLOCHER'S HITS
SUBJECT COMMENT
{ By Associated PreSs)

St. Louis, May 24.-It is with a
feeling of regret that President Rick
ey of the St. Louis Cardinals watch
es the sparkling fielding and timely
hitting of Charlie Hallocher, short
stop with the Chicago Nationals this
season. Not so many months ago he
had chance to sign Hallocher, but
passed him up in the belief that he
was only mediocre. Now the Car
dinals could use we'll some of the
hits Hallocher is pounding out for
the Cubs and place in the infield
no doubt could be found for him han
Oily.
Hollocher is a graduate of st.
Louis sand lots. After some short
successes in minor leagues he was
with the Portland club of the Pacific
coast league when Walter McCredie
who was manager of that club and
close friend of the Cardinals, recon-
mended the young player for major
league berth. Hickey at first was in
clined to dispatch scout to the west
to look over the shortstop, but later
decided the boy was only flash.
A scout for the Cubs happened out
west and Holocher now wears Chi
ago uniform and thus far this sea-
son promises to develop into star.

Seat of Christian Religion
Wrested From MosIem After
1,2OO Years Rule.
CROSS DISPLACES CRESCENT
Down Through the Ages the Holy City
Has Been Prey of Half the Races
of the World and Has Been
Destroyed and Rebuilt
Many Times.

The capture of Jerusalem by the
British forces marks the end, with two
brief interludes, of more than twelve
hundred years possession of the seat
of the Christian religion by the Mo-
hammedans. The last Christian ruler
of Jerusalem was the German emperor
Frederick II, whose short-lived DON'T
nation lasted from 1929 to 1914.
In sentiment and romantic aspect
the capture of Jerusalem far exceeds
even the fall of fable-crowned Bagdad.
Since the days when David wrested
It from the hands of Jebusites to make
1T the capital of the Jewish race, Jeru-
salem has been the prey of half the
races of the world. 1t has passed sue
'cessively into the hands of the Assy-
rians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans,
Persians, Arabs, Turks, the Crusaders,
finally to fall before the descendants
of that Richard the Lion Hearted who
strove in vain for it's possession more
than seven hundred years ago.
The historic city has been destroyed
and rebuilt -tirtfes without number,
only to finally fall for the second time
into the hands of Christian British.
Great Moral Victory.
The gigantic British encircling STRAIT
egg took in, on the south, the little
town of Bethlehem, where Christ was
born, 2,017 years ago. There seems
to be no doubt that the capture of
Jerusalem is one of the most stupen-
dous moral victories of the war.
1t is a unique fact that British lead
ers and British. ARMIES now, as in the
centuries past, are still the tenacious,
successful foes of Mohammed's people.
