engaged in steamboating on the Chip

Class Day Exercises

Tuesday evening the Seniors held
their Glass Day exercises in the as
sembly room of the high school build
ing. In way this is the part of the
ceremony Of graduation that most af.
fects the members of the class. 1t is
the real parting.
Bringing the class up from the time
they took pride in being able to write
their names; thru the years when they
hated schools and counted teachers as
enemies; thru the early high school
days when school spirit changed, and
the desire to leave school was only
pretended; to the time of true rea-
lization Of the use OF study, Miss Ger
trude MacColl, solutatorian, bid
hearty welcome to the large number of
guests.
AS poet historian Miss Mildred

member Of the class, expressing the
whole in rhyme, and several witty re.
marks brought out hearty applause.

COlOrad0's Population
in Country Gains Fast

Statistics gathered through county
assessors and compiled by the State
immigration Department indicate that
Colorado's rural population has in
creased very materially in the past
ten years. and in the principal agri-
cultural districts has increased more
rapidly than the urban population.
This is just the opposite to what has
occurred in the principal agricultural
states further east, where census re-
ports now being made public show
that rural population has not increased
nearly SO rapidly as that of the cities,
and in many districts has actually de-
creased since 1910. In the non-irri-
gated districts of eastern Colorado
the rural population has increased
very rapidly since 1910, and in some
cases the number of farms under culti-
walton at present, as shown by as
SCISSORS reports, is more than double
that Of ten years ago. This is also
true in many districts on the western
slope, particularly In Moffat, Rio
Blanco, San Miguel and Dolores coun-
ties. The records of the immigration
show that several thou
sand people from other states have
come to Colorado in the past two
years and have purchased or rented
farms, while an almost equally large
number of persons from other states
have filed upon homesteads in this
state. Such checks as the department
is able to make indicate that no less
than $5,0O0,000 has been invested in
Colorado property in the past two
years by persons whom the depart
ment has interested In the Centennial
States. While all western states have
shown considerable increase in rural
population in the past five years, Colo
rado has perhaps shown more rapid
development Of its agricultural re-
sources in that period than any other
state.

"What Lack YETI" But in realization
Of future possibilities that question
should become a yearning prayer.
Let not youth become discouraged
in view of the great need of effort.
Every rightly directed effort, said the
speaker, brings correspondingly
good result.
In the realm Of spirit, he said, man
supersedes all other forms Of creation,
and approaches his Maker. 1t Is
mans highest nature and by common
consent the most important, yet 1t is
the most neglected and least under
stood. Attempts have been made to
weigh it in balances, to examine it
under the microscope, to determine its
composition in the chemical laboratory
or by some other scientific process,
and because It will not submit to
such tests some have denied its exis-
tence.
When we seek information regard
ing the body, he continued, we con-
suit the physician. When advice is
sought regarding culture or intel
lectual development we go to those
who specialize to that end But in
spiritual matters we are satisfied with
opinions, and regard one ~ being
quite ~ good a. another.
There Ia something IN our vexy CON-
sciousness which tells u that we ars
not mere products Of chHnes. ~ 81
that theee = Z ceftatntx snnnesglkares
~ fenx. 1psxEefy md uneastnanfy are
not part Of life. We feel that there
must be = unity in all things. Inn
plicit youth will do more for us than
reasoning, and will bring us infinitely
closer to this unity.
Concluding, Rev. Eitlegeorge said:
my young friends Of the class Of
1920, l trust you will never cease TO
ask the question, What Lack / YETI"
nor cease to strive for better and
more thorough equipment until each
Of you shall have come to the fullest
realization Of his powers-physical
intellectual and spiritual.
+ The sermon, of which the above are
but extracts, was profusely inter-
spersed with quotations from the great
authorities, and throughout the talk
the speaker held his large audience at
most undivided attention.

UPON THE SEA OF LIFE
GRADUATING CLASS
John Marshall Hull
Theodore Paul King
George Keith Kinaba1l
Ralph John Hancock

The subject Of the baccalaureate
sermon preached for the graduating
class by Rev. Benjamin Eitelgeorge
at the Methodist Church Sunday even
ing was "EQuipment" and his text
was what Lack YETI"
The object Of all training he said
physical, Intellectual and spiritual-is
to equip us for life, and whatever con-
tributes to that end, be It the train
ing Of the body. the mind or the
heart-the directing of motives and
affections-is Of vital Importance to
every human being, but more espec-
tally to the youth.
He who would win the race. con-
tinued the speaker, must learn to run;
he who would reach the summit must
learn to climb; he who would erect .
monument structure Of lasting
value-must learn to build; he who
would excel In the field Of intellect
must learn the meth1 by which such
advancement becomes possible; and
he who would reign in the realm Of
spirit must learn frst Of all to serve.
This the yay Of life. the faith which
all eaEth's nuhaemen have trod: happy,
therefsre, the youth who IL content TO
ENTER IN st The door," who does not
seek to climb mp some other way. only

Mans Just gs9nislts is IL peynicAl
to have . strong body, to be good
animal. We begin life in the body and
though the other elements are mot
lacking. NO one ever described new
born babe as being either intellectual
or spiritual.
Concluding with respect to the phys
ical side of life, the minister said
that the scrupulous snd painstaking
care Of the body is justifiable from the
universal desire to live, and divine
revelation in mo- sense opposes 1t. It
is we'll. therefore, to have knowledge
of anatomy, that we understand the
laws of hygiene, and that we know
the limits as wen as the possibilities
of our strength and powers Of en-
durance.
With regard to the Intellectual the
speaker said that no one ever achieved
distinction in intellectual pursuits
who lacked will power, for nothing
short OF resolute determination will
keep the mind concentrated when the
task is difficult. And he who yields
to inclination when duty calls to serv-
ice will never matriculate in the Col
lege Of 1mmortals.
1t is no exaggeration, he said, to say
that ninety per cent Of life's failures
are directly attributable to a negation
of the human will. The difficulty is
that we dissipate the divine energy
permit 1t to spend itself In hundred
ways to no profit, but often to our
own hurt. By far the greater num-
her Of failures through school fail to
meet the demands made upon them be-
cause of want of moral courage. And
the lack of will is often traceable to
home infiuences-to early training in
the home, or the want of it. In this
respect the present generation is
scarcely measuring up to the standard
not to its possibilities.
But for the resolute and determined
there never was more hopeful age
than the present. In view Of past &C.
complishments youth boastfully asks:

ions sees, come true. That is the
only kind Of an optimist that is worth
while, anyway.
During the past ten years there
has been so marked an increase in
the growth OF the cities OF the coun-
try, as compared with the rural pop
ulation, that the people of East are
beginning to realize that something
must be done to maintain the devel-
opment OF the country. The pres

with safety TO the nation. Leaders in
many sections have undertaken to
solve this problem, and the result is
that they have united on the only

CHANGING TAX LAWS

There is a measure OF merit in the
suggestion of the County Assessor
that the state tax commission as at
present constituted be changed. II ia
certain that the present system is not
satisfactory, and therefore a change
suggested by the men who have had
experience under its operation will
undoubtedly be one in the right di-
rection.
II there is a great difference in
the valuations over the state for the
same classes OF property as is evil
denced in Malheur county, then in
deed the present system is due for
the discard.
Perhaps no system will be entirely
satisfactory II the operation is left
entirely to the discretion OF the SO
different county assessors. No two
OF them will interpret the law the
same. And therein lies the benefit
OF the proposed change, which calls
for a three man commission. one TO
remain at Salem and be office mana
ger, the other two to travel over the
state in order 10 be familiar with
values in every section.
We believe that the law should 20
one step farther. II should provide
that the commissioners have power
TO direct the work OF the assessors
and make them follow the basis
principals OF taxation uniformly.
There Ia no use changing the law II
provision is not made to make the
change effective In It's results.
